The HCCL-DKU system for fake audio generation task of the 2022 ICASSP ADD Challenge

The voice conversion task is to modify the speaker identity of continuous speech while preserving the linguistic content. Generally, the naturalness and similarity are two main metrics for evaluating the conversion quality, which has been improved significantly in recent years. This paper presents the HCCL-DKU entry for the fake audio generation task of the 2022 ICASSP ADD challenge. We propose a novel ppg-based voice conversion model that adopts a fully end-to-end structure. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other conversion models, including Tacotron-based and Fastspeech-based models, on conversion quality and spoofing performance against anti-spoofing systems. In addition, we investigate several post-processing methods for better spoofing power. Finally, we achieve second place with a deception success rate of 0.916 in the ADD challenge.
