| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | In this paper, we propose many-to-many voice conversion (VC) technique to convert an arbitrary source speaker's voice into an arbitrary target speaker's voice. There have been proposed one-to-many eigenvoice conversion (EVC) and many-to-one EVC. In the EVC, an eigenvoice Gaussian mixture model (EV-GMM) is trained in advance using multiple parallel data sets of a reference speaker and many pre-stored speakers. The EV-GMM is flexibly adapted to an arbitrary speaker using a small amount of adaptation data without any linguistic constraints. In this paper, we realize many-to-many VC by sequentially performing many-to-one EVC and one-to-many EVC through the reference speaker using the same EV-GMM. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed many-to-many voice conversion. | |
