Full textThis work presents an experimental evaluation of various voice transformation techniques based on GMM models. These linear transforms, despite their quality obtained, they fail to some defects specially the oversmoothing effect, the problem of spectral distortion and the overfitting. In a first part, we proposed taking these issues into account to adapt the learning strategy of the conversion functions. The first main idea is to reduce the number of parameters describing the conversion function. The second idea considers the solutions based on linear transform are unstable face to the lack of the training data, hence the recourse to non-linear transform model like RBF. In a second part in some situations, we need to align non-parallel data from the source and target speakers, one solution consists to use a recursive representation of binary tree, whose depth depends on the learning data size. In the last part, to get a high voice quality, we have proposed a model of parameters issued from the PCA projection on the true envelope before applying the conversion methods

Full textPerformances of an automatic speech recognition system degrade when test and training conditions do not match. Classical Stochastic Matching (SM) method proposes an off-line estimation of a compensation function that maximizes the likelihood of the compensated speech, given the optimal sequence of models proposed by the recognition process. We developed a new frame-synchronous technic based on SM : compensation is performed in parallel with the recognition. This is suitable to cope with slowly varying noise. We proposed two additional versions of our approach: -a tree structure of transformations is used to build a state-dependant non-linear compensation function. This is motivated by the fact that similar observations will be affected similarly by the environment. -a surveillance process monitoring the fluctuations in the environment is used to trigger the reinitialisation of the compensation process. This enables our algorithm to cope with environments experiencing sudden occurrences of noise

Full textThe work presented in this thesis lies within the scope of prosody conversion and more particularly the fundamental frequency conversion which is considered as a prominent factor in prosody processing. This document deals with the different steps necessary to build such a conversion system : stylization, clustering and conversion of melodic contours. For each step, we propose a methodology that takes into account the issues and difficulties encountered in the previous one. A B-spline based approach is first proposed to model the melodic contours. Then to represent the melodic space of a speaker, a HMM based approach is introduced. To finish, a prosody transformation methodology using non-parallel corpora based on a speaker adaptation technique is derived. The results we obtain tend to show that it is necessary to model the evolution of the melody and to drive the transformation system by using morpho-syntactic information

Full textThis thesis presents a phenomenological approach to controlled learning of a foreign language in face to face oral interaction. Such an approach endeavours to demonstrate how this type of learning requires intercultural continuity between the customary primary socio-cultural framework of the learners and that of the foreign language and culture. In addition, it attempts to prove that this learning method is based fundamentally on an intentional and more or less synchronised dynamic of two or more words which cannot be evaluated separately. From this stems an analysis model which illustrates the connection between the different indicators of these common words, in particular communicative body language, and compensatory resources and the linguistic treatment which allows there to be continuity between languages and cultures by maintaining and developing the thread of the conversation. In the same way, using a corpus of two series of role plays recorded on video in beginners’ classes of French as a Foreign Language, this thesis makes a series of observations concerning, and offers an analysis of, the model which has been developed. This analysis leads on to some specific didactic suggestions in terms of evaluation and correction, whilst reinforcing the idea of an essential adaptation to real time through a practical approach to transformed oral interaction or role plays which should be improvised to the greatest possible extent
Bous, Frederik. "A neural voice transformation framework for modification of pitch and intensity." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023SORUS382.
Full textHuman voice has been a great source of fascination and an object of research for over 100 years. During that time numerous technologies have sprouted around the voice, such as the vocoder, which provides a parametric representation of the voice, commonly used for voice transformation. From this tradition, the limitations of purely signal processing based approaches are evident: To create meaningful transformations the codependencies between different voice properties have to be understood well and modelled precisely. Modelling these correlations with heuristics obtained by empiric studies is not sufficient to create natural results. It is necessary to extract information about the voice systematically and use this information during the transformation process automatically. Recent advances in computer hardware permit this systematic analysis of data by means of machine learning. This thesis thus uses machine learning to create a neural voice transformation framework. The proposed neural voice transformation framework works in two stages: First a neural vocoder allows mapping between a raw audio and a mel-spectrogram representation of voice signals. Secondly, an auto-encoder with information bottleneck allows disentangling various voice properties from the remaining information. The auto-encoder allows changing one voice property while automatically adjusting the remaining voice properties. In the first part of this thesis, we discuss different approaches to neural vocoding and reason why the mel-spectrogram is better suited for neural voice transformations than conventional parametric vocoder spaces. In the second part we discuss the information bottleneck auto-encoder. The auto-encoder creates a latent code that is independent of its conditional input. Using the latent code the synthesizer can perform the transformation by combining the original latent code with a modified parameter curve. We transform the voice using two control parameters: the fundamental frequency and the voice level. Transformation of the fundamental frequency is an objective with a long history. Using the fundamental frequency allows us to compare our approach to existing techniques and study how the auto-encoder models the dependency on other properties in a well known environment. For the voice level, we face the problem that annotations hardly exist. Therefore, first we provide a new estimation technique for voice level in large voice databases, and subsequently use the voice level annotations to train a bottleneck auto-encoder that allows changing the voice level

Full textThe sinusoidal modeling of speech signaIs is usually defined on a "short term" basis, i. E. On successive frames of about 10 to 30 ms. This thesis brings a new contribution to this domain by adding to this traditional level spectral modeling an additionnal level along the temporal axis: we model the trajectories of sinusoidal parameters over durations significantly longer than the short-term frames (several hundreds of ms). Ln this study, we propose to use various long term models based on discrete cosine functions and polynomials. The adjustment to the trajectories is carried out by a weighted minimum mean square error regression, the weights of the regression being determined by perceptive criteria. For this task, a series of iterative algorithms is proposed and tested. The 101 term method is shown to be an efficient and parsimonious approach to describe the dynamics of the speech signal

Full textThis thesis focuses on speaker voice transformation in the aim to indicate the distance of it: a spokento-whispered voice transformation to indicate a close distance and a spoken-to-shouted voicetransformation for a rather far distance. We perform at first, in-depth analysis to determine mostrelevant features in whispered voices and especially in shouted voices (much harder). The maincontribution of this part is to show the relevance of prosodic parameters in the perception of vocaleffort in a shouted voice. Then, we propose some descriptors to better characterize the prosodiccontours. For the actual transformation, we propose several new transformation rules whichimportantly control the quality of transformed voice. The results showed a very good quality oftransformed whispered voices and transformed shouted voices for relatively simple linguisticstructures (CVC, CVCV, etc.)

Full textIn this thesis we used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data of the vocal tract to study speech production. The first part consist of the study of the impact that the velum, the epiglottis and the head position has on the phonation of five french vowels. Acoustic simulations were used to compare the formants of the studied cases with the reference in order to measure their impact. For this part of the work, we used 3D static MR (Magnetic Resonance) images. As speech is usually a dynamic phenomenon, a question arose, whether it would be possible to process the 3D data in order to incorporate dynamic information of continuous speech. Therefore the second part presents some algorithms that one can use in order to enhance speech production data. Several image transformations were combined in order to generate estimations of vocal tract shapes which are more informative than the original ones. At this point, we envisaged apart from enhancing speech production data, to create a generic speaker model that could provide enhanced information not for a specific subject, but globally for speech. As a result, we devoted the third part in the investigation of an algorithm that one can use to create a spatiotemporal atlas of the vocal tract which can be used as a reference or standard speaker for speech studies as it is speaker independent. Finally, the last part of the thesis, refers to a selection of open questions of the field that are still left unanswered, some interesting directions that one can expand this thesis and some potential approaches that could help someone move forward towards these directions
Rekik, Siwar. "Sécurisation de la communication parlée par une techhnique stéganographique." Thesis, Brest, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012BRES0061.
Full textOne of the concerns in the field of secure communication is the concept of information security. Today’s reality is still showing that communication between two parties over long distances has always been subject to interception. Providing secure communication has driven researchers to develop several cryptography schemes. Cryptography methods achieve security in order to make the information unintelligible to guarantee exclusive access for authenticated recipients. Cryptography consists of making the signal look garbled to unauthorized people. Thus, cryptography indicates the existence of a cryptographic communication in progress, which makes eavesdroppers suspect the existence of valuable data. They are thus incited to intercept the transmitted message and to attempt to decipher the secret information. This may be seen as weakness in cryptography schemes. In contrast to cryptography, steganography allows secret communication by camouflaging the secret signal in another signal (named the cover signal), to avoid suspicion. This quality motivated the researchers to work on this burning field to develop schemes ensuring better resistance to hostile attackers. The word steganography is derived from two Greek words: Stego (means cover) and graphy (means writing). The two combined words constitute steganography, which means covert writing, is the art of hiding written communications. Several steganography techniques were used to send message secretly during wars through the territories of enemies. The major contributions of this thesis are the following ones. We propose a new method to secure speech communication using the Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT) and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Our method exploits first the high frequencies using a DWT, then exploits the low-pass spectral properties of the speech magnitude spectrum to hide another speech signal in the low-amplitude high-frequencies region of the cover speech signal. The proposed method allows hiding a large amount of secret information while rendering the steganalysis more complex. Comparative evaluation based on objective and subjective criteria is introduced for original speech signal, stego-signal and reconstructed secret speech signal after the hiding process. Experimental simulations on both female and male speakers revealed that our approach is capable of producing a stego speech that is indistinguishable from the cover speech. The receiver is still able to recover an intelligible copy of the secret speech message. We used an LPC10 coder to test the effect of the coding techniques on the stego-speech signals. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the used coding technique since intelligibility of the stego-speech is maintained after the encoding and decoding processes. We also advocate a new steganalysis technique to ensure the robustness of our steganography method. The proposed classifier is called Autoregressive time delay neural network (ARTDNN). The purpose of this steganalysis system is to identify the presence or not of embedded information, and does not actually attempt to extract or decode the hidden data. The low detecting rate prove the robustness of our hiding technique

Full textThis dissertation examines the diversification of styles and representations of the poet in the work of three writers, Blaise Cendrars, Max Jacob and Guillaume Apollinaire. The works studied extend from 1912 to 1919, from before to immediately after World War I, when these poets would establish their careers as initiators of the post-Symbolist avant-garde. Their work exhibits proliferating and often contradictory presentations of the poet, often assigned to fictional speakers, hyperbolically self-deprecating and/or self-glorifying, and displaying disorienting shifts in style and technique. These self-presentations run counter to a crucial trend in modern and contemporary poetry, in which the figure of the poet tends to disappear. Yet self-effacement and excessive self-display both bear witness to the same questioning of the poet’s place in society and the world beyond the boundaries of art. To ask « who is speaking » in the poem entails the question of the poet’s value and legitimacy: on what grounds, from which position, with what right the poet speaks. If the poet no longer has a clear social or symbolic role, he may choose to remove himself from the poem under the pretext that his particular existence has no relevance, – but he may also exploit the indeterminacy of his status to play all the roles he desires; mage, oracle, soldier, pariah, etc. Jacob, Apollinaire et Cendrars opt for this masquerade that manifests at once an anxiety – does the poet have no more role to play? – and an aspiration: to become universal, to speak at last for all human beings – by becoming each individual in turn

Full textUppsatsen är en närläsning av Patricia C. Wredes bok Dealing with Dragons och undersöker huruvida boken i fråga är en parodi eller travesti på de klassiska sagorna, t.ex. Törnrosa och Askungen. Jag tar också reda på om det går att läsa boken på olika sätt beroende på hur stor förkunskap man har om de gamla sagorna. Gérard Genette har skrivit boken Palimpsestes: La littérature au second degré, och jag har med hjälp av en svensk översättning använt mig av hans teorier om hypotext - hypertext, parodi, travesti och transformation. Jag tar även hjälp av Jack Zipes och hans bok The Brothers Grimm - From Enchanted Forests to the Modern World. Dessutom används Barbara Walls bok The Narrator's Voice - The Dilemma of Children's fiction för att reda ut begreppet dubbelt tilltal.
Uppsatsen är indelad i tre delar med tillhörande underrubriker: Inledning, analys och slutdiskussion. Under analysdelen tar jag upp Wredes sätt att använda sig av direkt och indirekt transformation samt om hänvisningarna till bl.a. Grimms sagor är inslag av parodi eller travesti. Metoden jag använder mig av är att visa och analysera utdrag ur boken som är direkt eller indirekt transformerade från sedan länge befintliga sagor eller legender.
Resultatet av analysen når sitt syfte och svarar på frågeställningen. Slutsatsen är att boken Dealing with Dragons till största delen är en parodi på kända sagor, men att inslagen av travesti är nödvändiga och behövs för den roliga och lite snälla tonen som boken tillhandahåller.

Full textSymbolic landscapes of the countryside of the West of France, the bocage landscapes have undergone a series of transformations these last forty years : decrease in hedgerow density, land uses changes, plots extension, normalization and enlargement of farm buildings, spatial extension of wilderness… The intensity of landscape transformations highlights the contradiction between these landscape forms produced by a long agrarian history and the contemporary evolutions of farming systems. The transformation of hedgerow landscapes is generally attributed to the "productivist" turn of the French agricultural model. However, the socio-technical processes behind these changes are more rarely explained.The first purpose of this geography work is to study the effects of changing agricultural systems on agricultural spatial structures, based on a statistical analysis at the scale of the West of France. In a second step, the landscape and land dynamics of four study areas (Bessin, Bocage Virois, Sud Manche, Pays d'Auge), located in the dairy and bocage domain, have been studied between 2003 and 2016. This work is based on an original methodological device, set up in a geographical information system. This structuration of geographic information makes possible to (1) monitor the landscape dynamics (evolution of the hedgerow density, land cover and plot morphology changes) at a fine spatial and temporal scale and (2) to reconstruct the evolution of the mosaic of farm plots, by matching land-parcell identification systems across the time (2007, 2011, 2013). From this spatio-temporal database, we characterized the coevolution of landscape structures and farm territories across the time, in order to better understand the landscape consequences of farm enlargment.Finally, a field survey was carried out among 150 farmers equitably distributed in the four study areas, in order to apprehend the social, technical and productive consequences of the farms enlargment, which differ singularly according to the type of land trajectory followed

Full textThis thesis proposes a detailed analysis on the dynamic of change observed among the Baka from Gabon, a hunter-gatherer community. This group is composed of less than 1000 individuals speaking an Ubangian language inside a Bantu environment. By comparing their language with others from the same linguistic sub-group, some singularities from Baka and some resemblance with the Monzombo sub-group can be seen. These two ethnolinguistic groups, Baka and Monzombo groups, seem to have kept close contact based on skill exchanges (hunting/gathering and fishing/iron skills). This interaction is witnessed in the exchanges the Baka population preserves with their current Bantu neighbors, especially with Fang in Gabon.Nowadays, the Baka way of life is still characterized by their mobility and the forest. Nevertheless, due to a non-migratory lifestyle imposed by the State, the proximity with the Fang group and the growing globalization, dramatic changes are inflicted to the Baka community. Changes at which they are trying to adapt. These constraints do not affect only their language (system and use) but also many sociocultural habits such as settlement, mobility, food and means of support or religion.The aim of this thesis is to identify these ongoing transformations, to describe and to evaluate their impact bearing in mind the singularity of many contexts. An argumentative reflection on categorization principles is also proposed on lexical domains such as fauna, flora and diseases. Certain changes could arise without necessarily questioning their bonds to the forest and ancestral values. Nonetheless, both exogenous (globalization and a sedentary life) and endogenous pressures (individual behavior and culture transmission) determining the progress of different transformations should not be under evaluated as being a threat to the language, to the knowledge of the flora and fauna and to certain sociocultural practices

Full textIn this work, a speaker recognition approach using a contact microphone is developed and presented. The contact passive element is constructed from a piezoelectric material. In this context, the position of the piezoelectric transducer on the individual’s neck may greatly affect the quality of the collected signal and consequently the information extracted from it. Thus, the multilayered medium in which the sound propagates before being detected by the transducer is modeled. The best location on the individual’ neck to place a particular transducer element is determined by implementing Monte Carlo simulation techniques and consequently, the simulation results are verified using real experiments. The recognition is based on the signal generated from the vocal cords’ vibrations when an individual is speaking and not on the vocal signal at the output of the lips that is influenced by the resonances in the vocal tract. Therefore, due to the varying nature of the collected signal, the analysis was performed by applying the Short Term Fourier Transform technique to decompose the signal into its frequency components. These frequencies represent the vocal folds’ vibrations (50-1000 Hz). The features in terms of frequencies’ interval are extracted from the resulting spectrogram. Then, a 1-D vector is formed for identification purposes. The identification of the speaker is performed using two evaluation criteria, namely, the correlation similarity measure and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in conjunction with the Euclidean distance. The results show that a high percentage of recognition is achieved and the performance is much better than many existing techniques in the literature

The Flower Folk Drum originated at the Xinwawu settlement in Liujia Zhubei in Hsinchu County. At first, it was a leisure entertainment show for farmers. Due to its special form of performance, it gradually became a representative of Hakka culture in Hsinchu. During their performances, the flower folk drum teams of Xinwawu, Liujia would dress in Hakka-style clothes printed with floral patterns. The drum is carried by two people, with one in front, and the other behind it. The one standing in the middle is responsible for hitting the drum. In between, there are also gongs and cymbals. Men and women wear vivid clothes, swinging their hips. Among the drum arrays in Taiwan, it has a high representative status. In 2000, the Hsinchu County Government held the first “International Flower Folk Drum Arts Festival” to promote regional Hakka culture. At first, the festival was held biennially. In addition to promoting cultural legacy, it also aims to bring tourism benefits by attracting passionate visitors. Therefore, in 2009, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Hsinchu County Government began to hold the International Flower Folk Drum Arts Festival annually. In October every year, during the International Flower Folk Drum Arts Festival, Hakka people would fuse their year-end good harvest seasonal activities into the flower folk drum performance, introducing the Hakka settlement culture to people through folklore activities. As Xinwawu settlement was one of the rare Hakka settlements with a single surname in Liujia, Hsinchu County International Flower Folk Drum Arts Festival demonstrates its special status among the folk arts festivals in Taiwan. This study examines the regional features and cultural implications of Liujia Xinwawe traditional flower folk drum culture. How did this traditional folk parade show culture transform into an international festival with the cultural policy of the government sector? This project explores the essence and novelty of the flower folk drum culture through it transformation. On the one hand, the subsidy of government funds helped establish the Xinwanwu Flower Folk Drum. On the other hand, it transformed the Xinwawu Flower Folk Drum to become a product of the government sector with its promotional policy. If the policy changes or the government is not going to subsidy the folk art, how will the flower folk drum of Xinwawu continue its legacy? This will be a major issue in the future. The Liujia Xinwawu Flower Folk Drum manifests the implications of regional culture, and it represents Hakka people’s belief of following heaven’s way and the principles of nature. From the flower folk drum teams of Xinwawu, we learn about our co-existence together. Between the “tradition” and “innovation”, we have discovered the new values of Liujia Xinwawu Flower Folk Drum.
