Voice conversion (VC) is a technique to transform a speaker identity included in a source speech waveform into a different one while preserving linguistic information of the source speech waveform.

In 2016, we have launched the Voice Conversion Challenge (VCC) 2016 [1][2] at Interspeech 2016. The objective of the 2016 challenge was to better understand different VC techniques built on a freely-available common dataset to look at a common goal, and to share views about unsolved problems and challenges faced by the current VC techniques. The VCC 2016 focused on the most basic VC task, that is, the construction of VC models that automatically transform the voice identity of a source speaker into that of a target speaker using a parallel clean training database where source and target speakers read out the same set of utterances in a professional recording studio. 17 research groups had participated in the 2016 challenge. The challenge was successful and it established new standard evaluation methodology and protocols for bench-marking the performance of VC systems.

In 2018, we have launched the second edition of VCC, the VCC 2018 [3]. In the second edition, we revised three aspects of the challenge. First, we educed the amount of speech data used for the construction of participant's VC systems to half. This is based on feedback from participants in the previous challenge and this is also essential for practical applications. Second, we introduced a more challenging task refereed to a Spoke task in addition to a similar task to the 1st edition, which we call a Hub task. In the Spoke task, participants need to build their VC systems using a non-parallel database in which source and target speakers read out different sets of utterances. We then evaluate both parallel and non-parallel voice conversion systems via the same large-scale crowdsourcing listening test. Third, we also attempted to bridge the gap between the ASV and VC communities. Since new VC systems developed for the VCC 2018 may be strong candidates for enhancing the ASVspoof 2015 database, we also asses spoofing performance of the VC systems based on anti-spoofing scores.

In 2020, we launched the third edition of VCC, the VCC 2020 [4][5]. In this third edition, we constructed and distributed a new database for two tasks, intra-lingual semi-parallel and cross-lingual VC. The dataset for intra-lingual VC consists of a smaller parallel corpus and a larger nonparallel corpus, where both of them are of the same language. The dataset for cross-lingual VC consists of a corpus of the source speakers speaking in the source language and another corpus of the target speakers speaking in the target language. As a more challenging task than the previous ones, we focused on cross-lingual VC, in which the speaker identity is transformed between two speakers uttering different languages, which requires handling completely nonparallel training over different languages.

This repository contains the training and evaluation data released to participants, target speaker’s speech data in English for reference purpose, and the transcriptions for evaluation data. For more details about the challenge and the listening test results please refer to [4] and README file.

As for listening test, we subcontracted the crowd-sourced perceptual evaluation with English and Japanese listeners to Lionbridge TechnologiesInc. and Koto Ltd., respectively. Given the extremely large costs required for the perceptual evaluation, we selected 5 utterances (E30001, E30002, E30003,E30004, E30005) only from each speaker of each team. To evaluate the speaker similarity of the cross-lingual task, we used audio in both the English language and in the target speaker’s L2language as reference. For each source-target speaker pair, we selected three English recordings and two L2 language recordings as the natural reference for the converted five utterances.

This data repository includes the audio files used for the crowd-sourced perceptual evaluation and raw listening test scores.

DEEP-VOICE: Real-time Detection of AI-Generated Speech for DeepFake Voice Conversion This dataset contains examples of real human speech, and DeepFake versions of those speeches by using Retrieval-based Voice Conversion.

Can machine learning be used to detect when speech is AI-generated?

Introduction There are growing implications surrounding generative AI in the speech domain that enable voice cloning and real-time voice conversion from one individual to another. This technology poses a significant ethical threat and could lead to breaches of privacy and misrepresentation, thus there is an urgent need for real-time detection of AI-generated speech for DeepFake Voice Conversion.

To address the above emerging issues, we are introducing the DEEP-VOICE dataset. DEEP-VOICE is comprised of real human speech from eight well-known figures and their speech converted to one another using Retrieval-based Voice Conversion.

For each speech, the accompaniment ("background noise") was removed before conversion using RVC. The original accompaniment is then added back to the DeepFake speech:

(Above: Overview of the Retrieval-based Voice Conversion process to generate DeepFake speech with Ryan Gosling's speech converted to Margot Robbie. Conversion is run on the extracted vocals before being layered on the original background ambience.)

Dataset There are two forms to the dataset that are made available.

First, the raw audio can be found in the "AUDIO" directory. They are arranged within "REAL" and "FAKE" class directories. The audio filenames note which speakers provided the real speech, and which voices they were converted to. For example "Obama-to-Biden" denotes that Barack Obama's speech has been converted to Joe Biden's voice.

Second, the extracted features can be found in the "DATASET-balanced.csv" file. This is the data that was used in the below study. The dataset has each feature extracted from one-second windows of audio and are balanced through random sampling.

Note: All experimental data is found within the "KAGGLE" directory. The "DEMONSTRATION" directory is used for playing cropped and compressed demos in notebooks due to Kaggle's limitations on file size.

A potential use of a successful system could be used for the following:

(Above: Usage of the real-time system. The end user is notified when the machine learning model has processed the speech audio (e.g. a phone or conference call) and predicted that audio chunks contain AI-generated speech.)
