ConVoice: Real-Time Zero-Shot Voice Style Transfer with Convolutional NetworkYurii Rebryk, Stanislav Beliaev
We propose a neural network for zero-shot voice conversion (VC) without any parallel or transcribed data. Our approach uses pre-trained models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker embedding, obtained from a speaker verification task. Our model is fully convolutional and non-autoregressive except for a small pre-trained recurrent neural network for speaker encoding. ConVoice can convert speech of any length without compromising quality due to its convolutional architecture. Our model has comparable quality to similar state-of-the-art models while being extremely fast.

Authorship Attribution of Source Code: A Language-Agnostic Approach and Applicability in Software EngineeringEgor Bogomolov, Vladimir Kovalenko, Yurii Rebryk et al.
Authorship attribution (i.e., determining who is the author of a piece of source code) is an established research topic. State-of-the-art results for the authorship attribution problem look promising for the software engineering field, where they could be applied to detect plagiarized code and prevent legal issues. With this article, we first introduce a new language-agnostic approach to authorship attribution of source code. Then, we discuss limitations of existing synthetic datasets for authorship attribution, and propose a data collection approach that delivers datasets that better reflect aspects important for potential practical use in software engineering. Finally, we demonstrate that high accuracy of authorship attribution models on existing datasets drastically drops when they are evaluated on more realistic data. We outline next steps for the design and evaluation of authorship attribution models that could bring the research efforts closer to practical use for software engineering.

Factorized MultiClass BoostingIgor E. Kuralenok, Yurii Rebryk, Ruslan Solovev et al.
In this paper, we introduce a new approach to multiclass classification problem. We decompose the problem into a series of regression tasks, that are solved with CART trees. The proposed method works significantly faster than state-of-the-art solutions while giving the same level of model quality. The algorithm is also robust to imbalanced datasets, allowing to reach high-quality results in significantly less time without class re-balancing.
