    Abstract: A method for residual adapters for few-shot text-to-speech speaker adaptation includes obtaining a text-to-speech (TTS) model configured to convert text into representations of synthetic speech, the TTS model pre-trained on an initial training data set. The method further includes augmenting the TTS model with a stack of residual adapters. The method includes receiving an adaption training data set including one or more spoken utterances spoken by a target speaker, each spoken utterance in the adaptation training data set paired with corresponding input text associated with a transcription of the spoken utterance. The method also includes adapting, using the adaption training data set, the TTS model augmented with the stack of residual adapters to learn how to synthesize speech in a voice of the target speaker by optimizing the stack of residual adapters while parameters of the TTS model are frozen.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating waveforms conditioned on phoneme sequences. In one aspect, a method comprises: obtaining a phoneme sequence; processing the phoneme sequence using an encoder neural network to generate a hidden representation of the phoneme sequence; generating, from the hidden representation, a conditioning input; initializing a current waveform output; and generating a final waveform output that defines an utterance of the phoneme sequence by a speaker by updating the current waveform output at each of a plurality of iterations, wherein each iteration corresponds to a respective noise level, and wherein the updating comprises, at each iteration: processing (i) the current waveform output and (ii) the conditioning input using a noise estimation neural network to generate a noise output; and updating the current waveform output using the noise output and the noise level for the iteration.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining training data including a plurality of training audio signals and corresponding transcripts. Each training audio signal is spoken by a target speaker in a first accent/dialect. For each training audio signal of the training data, the method includes generating a training synthesized speech representation spoken by the target speaker in a second accent/dialect different than the first accent/dialect and training a text-to-speech (TTS) system based on the corresponding transcript and the training synthesized speech representation. The method also includes receiving an input text utterance to be synthesized into speech in the second accent/dialect. The method also includes obtaining conditioning inputs that include a speaker embedding and an accent/dialect identifier that identifies the second accent/dialect. The method also includes generating an output audio waveform corresponding to a synthesized speech representation of the input text sequence that clones the voice of the target speaker in the second accent/dialect.

    Abstract: A method of building a text-to-speech (TTS) system from a small amount of speech data includes receiving a first plurality of recorded speech samples from an assortment of speakers and a second plurality of recorded speech samples from a target speaker where the assortment of speakers does not include the target speaker. The method further includes training a TTS model using the first plurality of recorded speech samples from the assortment of speakers. Here, the trained TTS model is configured to output synthetic speech as an audible representation of a text input. The method also includes re-training the trained TTS model using the second plurality of recorded speech samples from the target speaker combined with the first plurality of recorded speech samples from the assortment of speakers. Here, the re-trained TTS model is configured to output synthetic speech resembling speaking characteristics of the target speaker.

    Abstract: A method of generating diverse and natural text-to-speech (TTS) samples includes receiving a text and generating a speech sample based on the text using a TTS model. A training process trains the TTS model to generate the speech sample by receiving training samples. Each training sample includes a spectrogram and a training text corresponding to the spectrogram. For each training sample, the training process identifies speech units associated with the training text. For each speech unit, the training process generates a speech embedding, aligns the speech embedding with a portion of the spectrogram, extracts a latent feature from the aligned portion of the spectrogram, and assigns a quantized embedding to the latent feature. The training process generates the speech sample by decoding a concatenation of the speech embeddings and a quantized embeddings for the speech units associated with the training text corresponding to the spectrogram.

    Abstract: A method for training a non-autoregressive TTS model includes obtaining a sequence representation of an encoded text sequence concatenated with a variational embedding. The method also includes using a duration model network to predict a phoneme duration for each phoneme represented by the encoded text sequence. Based on the predicted phoneme durations, the method also includes learning an interval representation and an auxiliary attention context representation. The method also includes upsampling, using the interval representation and the auxiliary attention context representation, the sequence representation into an upsampled output specifying a number of frames. The method also includes generating, based on the upsampled output, one or more predicted mel-frequency spectrogram sequences for the encoded text sequence. The method also includes determining a final spectrogram loss based on the predicted mel-frequency spectrogram sequences and a reference mel-frequency spectrogram sequence and training the TTS model based on the final spectrogram loss.
