Learning the joint distribution of two sequences using little or no paired data
We present a noisy channel generative model of two sequences, for example text and speech, which enables uncovering the association between the two modalities when limited paired data is available.
Speaker Generation
We call this task "speaker generation", and present TacoSpawn, a system that performs competitively at this task.
Wave-Tacotron: Spectrogram-free end-to-end text-to-speech synthesis
We describe a sequence-to-sequence neural network which directly generates speech waveforms from text inputs.
Non-saturating GAN training as divergence minimization
Non-saturating generative adversarial network (GAN) training is widely used and has continued to obtain groundbreaking results.
Location-Relative Attention Mechanisms For Robust Long-Form Speech Synthesis
Despite the ability to produce human-level speech for in-domain text, attention-based end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) systems suffer from text alignment failures that increase in frequency for out-of-domain text.
Semi-Supervised Generative Modeling for Controllable Speech Synthesis
We present a novel generative model that combines state-of-the-art neural text-to-speech (TTS) with semi-supervised probabilistic latent variable models.
Effective Use of Variational Embedding Capacity in Expressive End-to-End Speech Synthesis
Recent work has explored sequence-to-sequence latent variable models for expressive speech synthesis (supporting control and transfer of prosody and style), but has not presented a coherent framework for understanding the trade-offs between the competing methods.
Towards End-to-End Prosody Transfer for Expressive Speech Synthesis with Tacotron
We present an extension to the Tacotron speech synthesis architecture that learns a latent embedding space of prosody, derived from a reference acoustic representation containing the desired prosody.
Style Tokens: Unsupervised Style Modeling, Control and Transfer in End-to-End Speech Synthesis
In this work, we propose "global style tokens" (GSTs), a bank of embeddings that are jointly trained within Tacotron, a state-of-the-art end-to-end speech synthesis system.
Uncovering Latent Style Factors for Expressive Speech Synthesis
Prosodic modeling is a core problem in speech synthesis.
Exploring Neural Transducers for End-to-End Speech Recognition
In this work, we perform an empirical comparison among the CTC, RNN-Transducer, and attention-based Seq2Seq models for end-to-end speech recognition.
Reducing Bias in Production Speech Models
Replacing hand-engineered pipelines with end-to-end deep learning systems has enabled strong results in applications like speech and object recognition.
Deep Speech 2: End-to-End Speech Recognition in English and Mandarin
We show that an end-to-end deep learning approach can be used to recognize either English or Mandarin Chinese speech--two vastly different languages.
