摘要:

说话人身份是人类言语的重要特征之一。在语音转换中,我们将说话者身份从一个转换为另一个,同时保持语言内容不变。语音转换涉及多种语音处理技术,例如语音分析、频谱转换、韵律转换、说话人特征化和声码。随着理论和实践的发展,我们现在能够产生具有高说话人相似度的人一样的语音质量。在本文中,我们全面概述了最先进的语音转换技术及其性能评估方法,从统计方法到深度学习,并讨论了它们的前景和局限性。我们还将报告最近的语音转换挑战(VCC),当前技术状态的性能,并提供语音转换研究可用资源的摘要。

英文摘要:

Speaker identity is one of the important characteristics of human speech. In voice conversion, we change the speaker identity from one to another, while keeping the linguistic content unchanged. Voice conversion involves multiple speech processing techniques, such as speech analysis, spectral conversion, prosody conversion, speaker characterization, and vocoding. With the recent advances in theory and practice, we are now able to produce human-like voice quality with high speaker similarity. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of voice conversion techniques and their performance evaluation methods from the statistical approaches to deep learning, and discuss their promise and limitations. We will also report the recent Voice Conversion Challenges (VCC), the performance of the current state of technology, and provide a summary of the available resources for voice conversion research.
