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...

... this approach, we extract the pitch marks from the voiced regions. The classification of the voiced and unvoiced regions can be determined by using the values of pcont, as the unvoiced regions are marked by zero pitch values. Fig. 4 shows the voiced and the unvoiced regions in the pitch contour. The unvoiced region is marked by black arrows and has zero value. On the other hand, the non-zero values represent the voiced regions, where the pitch marking is performed. For each unvoiced region, we store the first and the last data points in the pitchM arks. The steps ...

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...
