Abstract(in English) This research aims to improve the accuracy of the source-filter based speech waveform generation model using deep learning. While the source-filter based speech waveform generation model can be implemented with lower computational cost compared with WaveNet based on Pixel CNN, this model produces a low-quality speech. To maintain the naturalness of the generated speech, we introduce a mutli-task training architecture using the adversarial training. In the proposed method, we use the architecture of MelGAN as the adversarial training. From the experimental results, we reveal that the proposed method can obtain the dynamics of speech which was lost in the case of the conventional method.
