  • Patent number: 11587548
    Abstract: Presented herein are novel approaches to synthesize video of the speech from text. In a training phase, embodiments build a phoneme-pose dictionary and train a generative neural network model using a generative adversarial network (GAN) to generate video from interpolated phoneme poses. In deployment, the trained generative neural network in conjunction with the phoneme-pose dictionary convert an input text into a video of a person speaking the words of the input text. Compared to audio-driven video generation approaches, the embodiments herein have a number of advantages: 1) they only need a fraction of the training data used by an audio-driven approach; 2) they are more flexible and not subject to vulnerability due to speaker variation; and 3) they significantly reduce the preprocessing, training, and inference times.
