2. Exploring Normalizing Flow Modifications for Improved Model Expressivity
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Normalizing flows represent a class of generative models that exhibit a number of attractive properties, but do not always achieve state-of-the-art performance when it comes to perceived naturalness of generated samples. To improve the quality of generated samples, this thesis examines methods to enhance the expressivity of discrete-time normalizing flow models and thus their ability to capture different aspects of the data.

3. Can a Dry Recording Treated with a Convolution Reverb in a Surround Sound Speaker System be Perceived as Maintaining the Same Degree of Naturalness as Real Recorded Reverberation?
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälleAbstract : When recording classical instruments, access to a physical space of acoustic properties associated with classical music might not always be available. This study seeks to investigate if classical music recorded in an environment with a short reverberation time can be treated with an impulse response from a concert hall and still maintain the same sense of naturalness.

5. Gradually Changing Gender Attribution of Speech Recordings Using Interpolated Filters
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : When we listen to human speech, one of the first characteristics we assess is the gender of the speaker. For individuals who suffer from gender dysphoria, this may cause them to be negatively impacted by their voice not matching their gender identity. Therefore, some persons attempt to change their voices with a speech-language therapist. READ MORE
