The authors introduce the Designed Vocalizations Dataset, a benchmark for human-to-non-human voice conversion. Systems change a raw vocalization’s timbre to match a designed reference while preserving its content. The dataset provides non-parallel training audio and paired tests with seen and held-out sources and presets. A baseline scores 0.667 when both are seen and 0.610 when both are unseen on timbre similarity.
