This work address the application of Voice Conversion to singing-voice. The GMM-based
approach was applied to VOCALOID, a concatenative singing synthesizer, to perform singer …

Singing voice is specific in music: a vocal performance conveys both music (melody/pitch)
and lyrics (text/phoneme) content. This paper aims at exploiting the advantages of melody …

Mes travaux de thèse s' intéressent à la voix émotionnelle dans un contexte d'interaction
humain-robot. Dans une interaction réaliste, nous définissons au moins quatre grands types …

We present in this work a study for robust pitch estimation on signals presenting wide-range
pitch content, as is the case of opera singing. Aiming to perform automatic features …

This habilitation presents the last ten years of my research on the structured modelling of
speech signals. Speech, as an oral language, constitutes the most elaborate communication …

We investigate a structured sparse spectral transform method for voice conversion (VC) to
perform frequency warping and spectral shaping simultaneously on high-dimensional (D) …

Dans un contexte d'interaction homme-machine, les systèmes de détection des émotions
dans la voix doivent être robustes aux variabilités et efficaces en temps de calcul. Cet article …

Realistic reconstruction and manipulation of strong vocal expressions found in singing
voices is a challenging and exciting topic. A speech analysis, modification and resynthesis …

A group delay-based excitation source analysis and design method is introduced for
extension of TANDEM-STRAIGHT, a speech analysis, modification and synthesis system …

The use of signal models is one of the key factors enabling us to establish high quality signal
transformation algorithms with intuitive high level control parameters. In the present article …
