title: Noisy-to-Noisy Voice Conversion Framework with Denoising Model
summary: In a conventional voice conversion (VC) framework, a VC model is often
trained with a clean dataset consisting of speech data carefully recorded and
selected by minimizing background interference. However, collecting such a
high-quality dataset is expensive and time-consuming. Leveraging crowd-sourced
speech data in training is more economical. Moreover, for some real-world VC
scenarios such as VC in video and VC-based data augmentation for speech
recognition systems, the background sounds themselves are also informative and
need to be maintained. In this paper, to explore VC with the flexibility of
handling background sounds, we propose a noisy-to-noisy (N2N) VC framework
composed of a denoising module and a VC module. With the proposed framework, we
can convert the speaker's identity while preserving the background sounds. Both
objective and subjective evaluations are conducted, and the results reveal the
effectiveness of the proposed framework.
