  • Patent number: 11482207
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of an end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) system with parallel wave generation. In one or more embodiments, a Gaussian inverse autoregressive flow is distilled from an autoregressive WaveNet by minimizing a novel regularized Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between their highly-peaked output distributions. Embodiments of the methodology computes the KL divergence in a closed-form, which simplifies the training process and provides very efficient distillation. Embodiments of a novel text-to-wave neural architecture for speech synthesis are also described, which are fully convolutional and enable fast end-to-end training from scratch. These embodiments significantly outperform the previous pipeline that connects a text-to-spectrogram model to a separately trained WaveNet. Also, a parallel waveform synthesizer embodiment conditioned on the hidden representation in an embodiment of this end-to-end model were successfully distilled.

  • Publication number: 20220108712
    Abstract: Developed and presented herein are embodiments of a new end-to-end approach for audio denoising, from a synthesis perspective. Instead of explicitly modelling the noise component in the input signal, embodiments directly synthesize the denoised audio from a generative model (or vocoder), as in text-to-speech systems. In one or more embodiments, to generate the phonetic contents for the autoregressive generative model, it is learned via a variational autoencoder with discrete latent representations. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, a new matching loss is presented for the denoising purpose, which is masked on when the corresponding latent codes differ. As compared against other method on test datasets, embodiments achieve competitive performance and can be trained from scratch.
