Abstract: This specification describes a computer-implemented method of generating expressive speech audio for use in a video game. The method comprises receiving user-input text data and receiving prosody data obtained from user-input speech style data. The user-input text data is processed by a text encoder to generate a text feature embedding. A speech feature embedding is generated by an embedding converter based upon the text feature embedding. The prosody data is processing by a prosody encoder to generate a prosody feature embedding. A speech signal is generated by a speech decoder based upon the speech feature embedding and the prosody feature embedding.

Abstract: A display panel and a display device are disclosed. The display panel includes a normal display area and a fan-out display area, and the fan-out display area includes a first area and a second area. Pixel driving circuit units of the display panel are located in the normal display area and the first area, and fan-out wirings are located in the second area. A shielding layer is disposed on one side of a pixel definition layer away from a substrate, and second openings of the shielding layer are defined corresponding to first openings of the pixel definition layer, thereby being beneficial to improve visible mura.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a natural language query from a user that solicits a response from an assistant large language model (LLM), receiving a prompt composition including an instruction parameter that specifies a task for the assistant LLM to respond to user queries concisely, structuring a conciseness prompt by concatenating the prompt composition to the natural language query, and processing, using the assistant LLM, the conciseness prompt to generate a concise response to the natural language query. The method also includes providing, for output from a user device, the concise response to the natural language query.

Abstract: This specification describes a computer-implemented method of training a machine-learned speech audio generation system to generate predicted acoustic features for generated speech audio for use in a video game. The training comprises receiving one or more training examples. Each training example comprises: (i) ground-truth acoustic features for speech audio, (ii) speech content data representing speech content of the speech audio, and (iii) speech expression data representing speech expression of the speech audio. Parameters of the machine-learned speech audio generation system are updated by: (i) minimizing a measure of difference between the predicted acoustic features for a training example and the corresponding ground-truth acoustic features of the training example, and (ii) minimizing a measure of difference between the predicted prosodic features for the training example and the corresponding ground-truth prosodic features for the training example.

Abstract: This specification describes systems and methods for aging voice audio, in particular voice audio in computer games. According to one aspect of this specification, there is described a method for aging speech audio data. The method comprises: inputting an initial audio signal and an age embedding into a machine-learned age convertor model, wherein: the initial audio signal comprises speech audio; and the age embedding is based on an age classification of a plurality of speech audio samples of subjects in a target age category; processing, by the machine-learned age convertor model, the initial audio signal and the age embedding to generate an age-altered audio signal, wherein the age-altered audio signal corresponds to a version of the initial audio signal in the target age category; and outputting, from the machine-learned age convertor model, the age-altered audio signal.
