  • Patent number: 11830476
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for learned condition text-to-speech synthesis. In some examples, first data representing a selection of a type of prosodic expressivity may be received. In some further examples, a selection of content comprising text data may be received. First audio data may be determined that includes an audio representation of the text data. The first audio data may be generated based at least in part on sampling from a first latent distribution generated using a conditional primary variational autoencoder (VAE). The sampling from the first latent distribution may be conditioned on a first learned distribution associated with the type of prosodic expressivity. In various examples, the first audio data may be sent to a first computing device.

  • Patent number: 11694674
    Abstract: Techniques for performing text-to-speech are described. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to generate audio from input text; generating audio from the input text by: generating a first number of vectors from phoneme embeddings representing the input text, predicting one or more spectrograms having the first number of frames using multiple scales wherein a coarser scale influences a finer scale, concatenating the first number of vectors and the predicted one or more spectrograms, generating at least one mel spectrogram from the concatenated vectors and the predicted one or more spectrograms, and converting, with a vocoder, the at least one mel spectrogram frames to audio; and outputting the generated audio according to the request.

  • Patent number: 11574624
    Abstract: A speech-processing system receives input data representing text. An input encoder processes the input data to determine first embedding data representing the text. A local attention encoder processes a subset of the first embedding data in accordance with a predicted size to determine second embedding data. An attention encoder processes the second embedding data to determine third embedding data. A decoder processes the third embedding data to determine audio data corresponding to the text.

  • Publication number: 20220415304
    Abstract: Techniques for utilizing memory for a neural network are described. For example, some techniques utilize a plurality of memory types to respond to a query from a neural network including a short-term memory to store fine-grained information for recent text of a document and receiving a first value in response, an episodic long-term memory to store information discarded from the short-term memory in a compressed form and receiving a second value in response, and a semantic long-term memory to store relevant facts per entity in the document.

  • Patent number: 9686140
    Abstract: An intelligent network interconnect may include a control channel and a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes may include a first node coupled to a first network and a second node coupled to a second network. Each of the plurality of nodes is coupled to the control channel. The intelligent network interconnect may also include a control device coupled to the control channel. The intelligent network interconnect may be configured to: collect network data from the first node and the second node, wherein the network data includes traffic data of the first network; obtain metrics based on the collected network data; detect an event based on the metrics and the collected network data; and a rule whose condition matches the event; and send a command over the control channel, to one or more of the nodes, to perform an action associated with the rule.
