recognition (ASR) have dramatically improved in the past decade owing to the advancements in deep learning technologies. However, the task of training these models remains challenging on <b>low resource domains<\/b> as they suffer from over-fitting and do not generalize well for practical applications.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In this paper, we propose to iteratively improve a voice conversion model along with an automatic speech recognition model.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>As VC models often rely on ASR model for extracting content features or imposing content consistency loss, degradation of ASR directly affects the quality of VC models. On the other hand, to improve the generalization capability of ASR model, a variety of data augmentation techniques have been proposed with voice conversion being one of them.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>This creates a causality dilemma, wherein poor quality of ASR model affects VC model training which in turn leads to low quality data augmentation for training ASR models. Conversely, improving the ASR model should lead to better VC models, which should produce better data augmentation samples for improving the ASR models. Motivated from this, in this work we propose to iteratively improve the ASR model by using the VC model as a data augmentation method for training the ASR and simultaneously improve the VC model by using the ASR model for linguistic content preservation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-85bbfff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"85bbfff\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8881599\" data-id=\"8881599\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3818f26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3818f26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Proposed Method<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c0518a1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c0518a1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b15be70\" data-id=\"b15be70\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c22261\" data-id=\"7c22261\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5946472 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5946472\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"962\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/whiteriversmediasolutions.com\/Sony\/uvaftoap\/2023\/06\/Cover-Image.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9662\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whiteriversmediasolutions.com\/Sony\/uvaftoap\/2023\/06\/Cover-Image.png 962w, https:\/\/whiteriversmediasolutions.com\/Sony\/uvaftoap\/2023\/06\/Cover-Image-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/whiteriversmediasolutions.com\/Sony\/uvaftoap\/2023\/06\/Cover-Image-768x543.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" style=\"width:100%;height:70.69%;max-width:962px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cd801eb\" data-id=\"cd801eb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a8149c3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a8149c3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-80dcf9e\" data-id=\"80dcf9e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1833c2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1833c2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFigure 1: Overview of our proposed method.
