Speech Synthesis

Speech synthesis is the task of generating speech from some other modality like text, lip movements etc. Please note that the leaderboards here are not really comparable between studies - as they use mean opinion score as a metric and collect different samples from Amazon Mechnical Turk.

WaveNet: A Generative Model for Raw Audio

O. Vinyals, K. Simonyan, Nal Kalchbrenner, K. Kavukcuoglu, A. Senior, Alex Graves, S. Dieleman, Aäron van den Oord, H. Zen•Sun Sep 11 2016

WaveNet, a deep neural network for generating raw audio waveforms, is introduced; it is shown that it can be efficiently trained on data with tens of thousands of samples per second of audio, and can be employed as a discriminative model, returning promising results for phoneme recognition.

FastSpeech 2: Fast and High-Quality End-to-End Text to Speech

Tao Qin, Tie-Yan Liu, Zhou Zhao, Xu Tan, Yi Ren, Sheng Zhao, Chenxu Hu•Sun Jun 07 2020

FastSpeech 2 is proposed, which addresses the issues in FastSpeech and better solves the one-to-many mapping problem in TTS by directly training the model with ground-truth target instead of the simplified output from teacher, and introducing more variation information of speech as conditional inputs.

Natural TTS Synthesis by Conditioning Wavenet on MEL Spectrogram Predictions

Z. Chen, M. Schuster, Ruoming Pang, N. Jaitly, R. Saurous, Ron J. Weiss, Yu Zhang, Yonghui Wu, Yuxuan Wang, R. Skerry-Ryan, Zongheng Yang, Yannis Agiomyrgiannakis, Jonathan Shen•Fri Dec 15 2017

Tacotron 2, a neural network architecture for speech synthesis directly from text that is composed of a recurrent sequence-to-sequence feature prediction network that maps character embeddings to mel-scale spectrograms, followed by a modified WaveNet model acting as a vocoder to synthesize time-domain waveforms from those Spectrograms is described.

FastTacotron: A Fast, Robust and Controllable Method for Speech Synthesis

D. V. Sang, L. Thu•Thu Sep 30 2021

Recent state-of-the-art neural text-to-speech synthesis models have significantly improved the quality of synthesized speech. However, the previous methods have remained several problems. While autoregressive models suffer from slow inference speed, non-autoregressive models usually have a complicated, time and memory-consuming training pipeline. This paper proposes a novel model called FastTacotron, which is an improved text-to-speech method based on ForwardTacotron. The proposed model uses the recurrent Tacotron architecture but replacing its autoregressive attentive part with a single forward pass to accelerate the inference speed. The model also replaces the attention mechanism in Tacotron with a length regulator like the one in FastSpeech for parallel mel-spectrogram generation. Moreover, we introduce more prosodic information of speech (e.g., pitch, energy, and more accurate duration) as conditional inputs to make the duration predictor more accurate. Experiments show that our model matches state-of-the-art models in terms of speech quality and inference speed, nearly eliminates the problem of word skipping and repeating in particularly hard cases, and possible to control the speed and pitch of the generated utterance. More importantly, our model can converge just in few hours of training, which is up to 11.2x times faster than existing methods. Furthermore, the memory requirement of our model grows linearly with sequence length, which makes it possible to predict complete articles at one time with the model.

MelGAN: Generative Adversarial Networks for Conditional Waveform Synthesis

Yoshua Bengio, Aaron C. Courville, Rithesh Kumar, Jose M. R. Sotelo, Kundan Kumar, A. D. Brébisson, T. Boissiere, L. Gestin, Wei Zhen Teoh•Mon Oct 07 2019

The model is non-autoregressive, fully convolutional, with significantly fewer parameters than competing models and generalizes to unseen speakers for mel-spectrogram inversion, and suggests a set of guidelines to design general purpose discriminators and generators for conditional sequence synthesis tasks.

A single-layer recurrent neural network with a dual softmax layer that matches the quality of the state-of-the-art WaveNet model, the WaveRNN, and a new generation scheme based on subscaling that folds a long sequence into a batch of shorter sequences and allows one to generate multiple samples at once.

"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, learn to factorize noise and speaker identity, providing a path towards highly scalable but robust speech synthesis.

It is shown that randomly sampled speaker embeddings can be used to synthesize speech in the voice of novel speakers dissimilar from those used in training, indicating that the model has learned a high quality speaker representation.
