Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to disentangle Chinese-English-rich resources linguistic and speaker timbre features, achieving cross-lingual speaker transfer for Cambodian. Design/methodology/approach This study introduces a novel approach: the construction of a cross-lingual feature disentangler coupled with the integration of time-frequency attention adaptive normalization to proficiently convert Cambodian speaker timbre into Chinese-English without altering the underlying Cambodian speech content. Findings Considering the limited availability of multi-speaker corpora in Cambodia, conventional methods have demonstrated subpar performance in Cambodian speaker voice transfer. Originality/value The originality of this study lies in the effectiveness of the disentanglement process and precise control over speaker timbre feature transfer.

基于特征分离器和时频注意自适应归一化的柬埔寨语跨语言演讲者转移

设计/方法/途径本研究引入了一种新颖的方法：构建跨语言特征分离器，并结合时频注意自适应归一化，在不改变基础柬埔寨语语音内容的情况下，将柬埔寨语说话人的音色熟练地转换为中文-英语。研究结果考虑到柬埔寨多说话人语料库的有限性，传统方法在柬埔寨说话人语音转换方面表现不佳。原创性/价值本研究的原创性在于解缠过程的有效性和对说话人音色特征转换的精确控制。

期刊介绍： The Global Information Infrastructure is a daily reality. In spite of the many applications in all domains of our societies: e-business, e-commerce, e-learning, e-science, and e-government, for instance, and in spite of the tremendous advances by engineers and scientists, the seamless development of Web information systems and services remains a major challenge. The journal examines how current shared vision for the future is one of semantically-rich information and service oriented architecture for global information systems. This vision is at the convergence of progress in technologies such as XML, Web services, RDF, OWL, of multimedia, multimodal, and multilingual information retrieval, and of distributed, mobile and ubiquitous computing. Topicality While the International Journal of Web Information Systems covers a broad range of topics, the journal welcomes papers that provide a perspective on all aspects of Web information systems: Web semantics and Web dynamics, Web mining and searching, Web databases and Web data integration, Web-based commerce and e-business, Web collaboration and distributed computing, Internet computing and networks, performance of Web applications, and Web multimedia services and Web-based education.
