Laughter Synthesis using Pseudo Phonetic Tokens with a Large-scale In-the-wild Laughter Corpus [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We present a large-scale in-the-wild Japanese laughter corpus and a laughter synthesis method. Previous work on laughter synthesis lacks not only data but also proper ways to represent laughter. To solve these problems, we first propose an in-the-wild corpus comprising $3.5$ hours of laughter, which is to our best knowledge the largest laughter corpus ...

Laughter Synthesis: Combining Seq2seq modeling with Transfer Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Despite the growing interest for expressive speech synthesis, synthesis of nonverbal expressions is an under-explored area. In this paper we propose an audio laughter synthesis system based on a sequence-to-sequence TTS synthesis system. We leverage transfer learning by training a deep learning model to learn to generate both speech and laughs from ...
