Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for training an acoustic model which is for implementing cross-speaker style transfer and comprises at least a style encoder. Training data may be obtained, which comprises a text, a speaker ID, a style ID and acoustic features corresponding to a reference audio. A reference embedding vector may be generated, through the style encoder, based on the acoustic features. Adversarial training may be performed to the reference embedding vector with at least the style ID and the speaker ID, to remove speaker information and retain style information. A style embedding vector may be generated, through the style encoder, based at least on the reference embedding vector being performed the adversarial training. Predicted acoustic features may be generated based at least on a state sequence corresponding to the text, a speaker embedding vector corresponding to the speaker ID, and the style embedding vector.

Abstract: Systems are configured for generating spectrogram data characterized by a voice timbre of a target speaker and a prosody style of source speaker by converting a waveform of source speaker data to phonetic posterior gram (PPG) data, extracting additional prosody features from the source speaker data, and generating a spectrogram based on the PPG data and the extracted prosody features. The systems are configured to utilize/train a machine learning model for generating spectrogram data and for training a neural text-to-speech model with the generated spectrogram data.

Abstract: The present invention provides an interspecific Helianthus plant comprising a genetic determinant responsible for an indeterminate phenotype. Methods of making said plant are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Pelargonium plant, in particular to a Pelargonium plant which is an interspecific crossing product between the P. hortorum (zonal) and P. peltatum (Ivy) in tetraploid level. There is a range of ploidy levels among Pelargonium type. For example, cutting geraniums are typically tetraploid while seed geraniums are diploid. The present invention relates to a Pelargonium plant, characterized in that said plant has a prostrating basket type growth habit phenotype.
