Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for voice conversion using a conditional disentangled sequential variational auto-encoder (C-DSVAE) is provided. The method, performed by at least one processor, includes receiving input speech segments, encoding the input speech segments via a shared encoder to generate a speaker embedding and a content embedding, and encoding a posterior distribution of the speaker embedding via a speaker encoder and encoding a posterior distribution of the content embedding via a content encoder to obtain encoded results. The method further includes enabling a content bias, reshaping the content embedding using the content bias, and generating a reconstructed speech output based on the encoded results and the reshaped content embedding.
