VAEs consist of two main parts: a content Voice conversion (VC) modifies voice characteristics while encoder and a decoder. The content encoder processes source preserving linguistic content. This paper presents the Stepback speech, transforms it into a latent representation, and removes network, a novel model for converting speaker identity using speaker information. The decoder takes the speaker identity, non-parallel data. Unlike traditional VC methods that rely on combines it with the latent representation, and reconstructs the parallel data, our approach leverages deep learning techniques speech[5]. A notable VAE approach is disentangling speaker to enhance disentanglement completion and linguistic content and content representations using instance normalization, which preservation.

Self-attention mechanisms have enabled transformers to achieve superhuman-level performance on many speech-to-text (STT) tasks, yet the challenge of automatic prosodic segmentation has remained unsolved. In this paper we finetune Whisper, a pretrained STT model, to annotate intonation unit (IU) boundaries by repurposing low-frequency tokens. Our approach achieves an accuracy of 95.8%, outperforming previous methods without the need for large-scale labeled data or enterprise grade compute resources. We also diminish input signals by applying a series of filters, finding that low pass filters at a 3.2 kHz level improve segmentation performance in out of sample and out of distribution contexts. We release our model as both a transcription tool and a baseline for further improvements in prosodic segmentation.
