Initial investigation of an encoder-decoder end-to-end TTS framework using marginalization of monotonic hard latent alignments

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

End-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is a method that directly converts input text to output acoustic features using a single network. A recent advance of end-to-end TTS is due to a key technique called attention mechanisms, …

Zero-Shot Multi-Speaker Text-To-Speech with State-of-the-art Neural Speaker Embeddings

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

While speaker adaptation for end-to-end speech synthesis using speaker embeddings can produce good speaker similarity for speakers seen during training, there remains a gap for zero-shot adaptation to unseen speakers. We investigate multi-speaker modeling for …
