During my internship at Supertone, I worked on singing vocal conversion. It takes input from two different singers and aims to convert the voice of one into the voice of the other. And it had to be done in real-time. Below are samples of the converted voice using our model at that time.
Source input (male) — streamed online
Target query (female) — preprocessed and saved offline
Voice converted output (female) — streamed online
I would like to thank the many colleagues who helped me during this work, especially Dr. Hoon Heo, Dr. Juheon Lee, Dr. Hyeong-Seok Choi, Prof. Kyogu Lee, and many other Supertonians!
During the internship, I was fortunate to be appeared in the press (AI Times, Kyodo News, The JoongAng, …). I joined Supertone right before they received a big investment. (Coincidentally, the two periods I interned at Supertone, January 2021 and January 2023, overlaps exactly with the two periods HYBE invested in Supertone.) Back in the days before the acquisition by HYBE, when I started my internship, Supertone was a small start-up company with just one office room, but with incredibly enthusiastic and collaborative people.
Although I was just an intern, but watching the board of directors meet every day to run and grow the company gave me first-hand experience of what it takes to make a research-driven organization successful. Needless to say, I learned a lot from the experience, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such talented people.
