A few days ago Merlijn Blaauw and Jordi Bonada attended the Interspeech 2016 conference in San Francisco, USA.
The following four papers were coauthored by MTG members:
- Bonada, J., Umbert, M., Blaauw, M, "Expressive Singing Synthesis Based on Unit Selection for the Singing Synthesis Challenge 2016", Interspeech, San Francisco, USA, Sept 2016.
- Blaauw, M., Bonada, J., "Modeling and Transforming Speech Using Variational Autoencoders", Interspeech, San Francisco, USA, Sept 2016.
- Bonada, J., Lachlan, R., Blaauw, M., "Bird Song Synthesis Based on Hidden Markov Models", Interspeech, San Francisco, USA, Sept 2016.
- Villavicencio, F., Yamagishi, J., Bonada, J., Espic, F., "Applying Spectral Normalisation and Efficient Envelope Estimation and Statistical Transformation for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2016", Interspeech, San Francisco, USA, Sept 2016.
It is worth saying that we won the special challenge for singing voice synthesis :-)
