title: CycleFlow: Purify Information Factors by Cycle Loss
summary: SpeechFlow is a powerful factorization model based on information bottleneck
(IB), and its effectiveness has been reported by several studies. A potential
problem of SpeechFlow, however, is that if the IB channels are not well
designed, the resultant factors cannot be well disentangled. In this study, we
propose a CycleFlow model that combines random factor substitution and cycle
loss to solve this problem. Experiments on voice conversion tasks demonstrate
that this simple technique can effectively reduce mutual information among
individual factors, and produce clearly better conversion than the IB-based
SpeechFlow. CycleFlow can also be used as a powerful tool for speech editing.
We demonstrate this usage by an emotion perception experiment.
Thunk you very much for contribution!
