摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for speech synthesis. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of obtaining an audio representation of speech of a target speaker, obtaining input text for which speech is to be synthesized in a voice of the target speaker, generating a speaker vector by providing the audio representation to a speaker encoder engine that is trained to distinguish speakers from one another, generating an audio representation of the input text spoken in the voice of the target speaker by providing the input text and the speaker vector to a spectrogram generation engine that is trained using voices of reference speakers to generate audio representations, and providing the audio representation of the input text spoken in the voice of the target speaker for output.

摘要: 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.

摘要: 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.

摘要: A method includes receiving an input text sequence to be synthesized into speech in a first language and obtaining a speaker embedding, the speaker embedding specifying specific voice characteristics of a target speaker for synthesizing the input text sequence into speech that clones a voice of the target speaker. The target speaker includes a native speaker of a second language different than the first language. The method also includes generating, using a text-to-speech (TTS) model, an output audio feature representation of the input text by processing the input text sequence and the speaker embedding. The output audio feature representation includes the voice characteristics of the target speaker specified by the speaker embedding.

摘要: A direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) model includes an encoder configured to receive an input speech representation that to an utterance spoken by a source speaker in a first language and encode the input speech representation into a hidden feature representation. The S2ST model also includes an attention module configured to generate a context vector that attends to the hidden representation encoded by the encoder. The S2ST model also includes a decoder configured to receive the context vector generated by the attention module and predict a phoneme representation that corresponds to a translation of the utterance in a second different language. The S2ST model also includes a synthesizer configured to receive the context vector and the phoneme representation and generate a translated synthesized speech representation that corresponds to a translation of the utterance spoken in the different second language.

摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that train and use machine-learned models such as, for example, sequence-to-sequence models, to perform direct and text-free speech-to-speech translation. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure provide an attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network which can directly translate speech from one language into speech in another language, without relying on an intermediate text representation.
