The stylization of pitch contour is a primary task in the speech prosody for the development of a linguistic model. The stylization of pitch contour is performed either by statistical learning or statistical analysis. The recent statistical learning models require a large amount of data for training purposes and rely on complex machine learning alg...

... retrieving the pitch marks from the voiced region of a pitch contour. In addition, it can stylize the voiced and unvoiced region of the contours after pitch smoothing, which can be apt for applications mentioned above and for text-to-speech conversion [24], [25]. The general flow of the proposed methodology on a smoothed pitch contour is shown in Fig. 1. As shown in the figure, the approach uses auto-correlation to detect pitch and uses median filtering with length-3-window to remove sudden spikes to generate the corresponding pitch contour. This is used for extracting the pitch marks and to approximate the pitch contour using linear interpolation. The number of the linear segment ...

In this paper, we propose a data-driven approach to train a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) conditioned on "soft-labels" distilled from the penultimate layer of an audio classifier trained on a target set of audio texture classes. We demonstrate that interpolation between such conditions or control vectors provides smooth morphing between the...
