Unit Selection with Hierarchical Cascaded Long Short Term Memory Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Nets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bidirectional recurrent neural nets have demonstrated state-ofthe-art performance for parametric speech synthesis. In this paper, we introduce a top-down application of recurrent neural net models to unit-selection synthesis. A hierarchical cascaded network graph predicts context phone duration, speech unit encoding and frame-level logF0 information that serves as targets for the search of units. The new approach is compared with an existing state-of-art hybrid system that uses Hidden Markov Models as basis for the statistical unit search.

The IBM 2016 English Conversational Telephone Speech Recognition System
We describe a collection of acoustic and language modeling techniques that lowered the word error rate of our English conversational telephone LVCSR system to a record 6.6% on the Switchboard subset of the Hub5 2000 evaluation testset. On the acoustic side, we use a score fusion of three strong models: recurrent nets with maxout activations, very deep convolutional nets with 3x3 kernels, and bi...

Our main findings are that bidirectional networks outperform unidirectional ones, a...
متن کاملTTS synthesis with bidirectional LSTM based recurrent neural networks
Feed-forward, Deep neural networks (DNN)-based text-tospeech (TTS) systems have been recently shown to outperform decision-tree clustered context-dependent HMM TTS systems [1, 4]. However, the long time span contextual effect in a speech utterance is still not easy to accommodate, due to the intrinsic, feed-forward nature in DNN-based modeling. Also, to synthesize a smooth speech trajectory, th...
