Oliva"],"abstract":"Voice conversion (VC) aims at altering a person's voice to make it sound similar to the voice of another person while preserving linguistic content. Existing methods suffer from a dilemma between content intelligibility and speaker similarity; i.e., methods with higher intelligibility usually have a lower speaker similarity, while methods with higher speaker similarity usually require plenty of target speaker voice data to achieve high intelligibility. In this work, we propose a novel method \\textit{Phoneme Hallucinator} that achieves the best of both worlds. Phoneme Hallucinator is a one-shot VC model; it adopts a novel model to hallucinate diversified and high-fidelity target speaker phonemes based just on a short target speaker voice (e.g. 3 seconds). The hallucinated phonemes are then exploited to perform neighbor-based voice conversion. Our model is a text-free, any-to-any VC model that requires no text annotations and supports conversion to any unseen speaker. Objective and subjective evaluations show that \\textit{Phoneme Hallucinator} outperforms existing VC methods for both intelligibility and speaker similarity.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.06382v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.06382v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"phoneme-hallucinator-one-shot-voice","repo_url":"https://github.com/PhonemeHallucinator/Phoneme_Hallucinator","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"phoneme-hallucinator-one-shot-voice","repo_url":"https://github.com/thuhcsi/neucosvc","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"voice-conversion","task_name":"Voice Conversion"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2308.06382","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
