  • Voice cloning transfer for speech synthesis
    Patent number: 11942070
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for speech synthesis is provided. The present invention may include generating one or more final voiceprints. The present invention may include generating one or more voice clones based on the one or more final voiceprints. The present invention may include classifying the one or more voice clones into a grouping using a language model, wherein the language model is trained using manually classified uncloned voice samples. The present invention may include identifying a cluster within the grouping, wherein the cluster is identified by determining a difference between corresponding vectors of the one or more voice clones below a similarity threshold. The present invention may include generating a new archetypal voice by blending the one or more voice clones of the cluster where the difference between the corresponding vectors is below the similarity threshold.

  • DVC delta commands
    Patent number: 8660194
    Abstract: A video compression system compresses video frames comprising pixels defined by n-bit color values. Encoder of video compression system determines the difference between a current pixel value and a plurality reference pixel values. Encoder sends difference value to decoder. Decoder determines current pixel value by adjusting a reference pixel color value by delta value.
