  • Publication number: 20240135915
    Abstract: A method for residual adapters for few-shot text-to-speech speaker adaptation includes obtaining a text-to-speech (TTS) model configured to convert text into representations of synthetic speech, the TTS model pre-trained on an initial training data set. The method further includes augmenting the TTS model with a stack of residual adapters. The method includes receiving an adaption training data set including one or more spoken utterances spoken by a target speaker, each spoken utterance in the adaptation training data set paired with corresponding input text associated with a transcription of the spoken utterance. The method also includes adapting, using the adaption training data set, the TTS model augmented with the stack of residual adapters to learn how to synthesize speech in a voice of the target speaker by optimizing the stack of residual adapters while parameters of the TTS model are frozen.

  • Publication number: 20220145045
    Abstract: The field of new compounds and synthesis methods thereof are related, and particularly to a structure of a steric hindrance adjustable weak base light stabilizer and a preparation method and application thereof. According to the innovative light stabilizer, a steric hindrance thereof is adjusted by establishing substituent generating the steric hindrance around nitrogen atoms; moreover, an electronegativity of the nitrogen atom can be influenced by adjusting a distance of a polar group, so that an alkalinity or a nucleophilicity of the nitrogen atom is adjusted. A desired effect is obtained by adjusting a steric hindrance and a nucleophilic property or an alkalinity where the nitrogen atom is located, so that an application range of the innovative light stabilizer is widened, and the innovative light stabilizer is suitable for PC, polyester, PVC and other slightly acidic or certain electrophilic polymer materials to serve as a light stability protecting aid.
