[Poster Presentation] Evaluation of DNN-Based Voice Conversion Deceiving Anti-spoofing Verification

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a novel training algorithm for high-quality Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based voice conversion. To improve speech quality in DNN-based text-to-speech synthesis, we have proposed a training algorithm to deceive anti-spoofing verification, called adversarial DNN-based speech synthesis. The anti-spoofing is a discriminator to distinguish natural and synthetic speech. This paper extends this idea to DNN-based voice conversion, and we build the acoustic models that can deceive the anti-spoofing verification. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we conduct evaluations using two conversion frameworks: speech feature conversion using Feed-Forward neural networks and spectral differentials estimation using highway networks from input to output, which is proposed in this paper. The evaluation results successfully demonstrate the speech-quality improvements for both frameworks.
