Abstract
A method for disentangled variational speech representation learning for voice conversion, performed by at least one processor, is provided. The method includes receiving input speech segments, encoding the input speech segments via a shared encoder to generate a speaker embedding and a content embedding, encoding the posterior distributions of the speaker embedding via a speaker encoder and encoding the posterior distributions of the content embedding via a content encoder to obtain encoded results, and decoding the encoded results by concatenating the encoded results to obtain a reconstructed speech output.
