  • Publication number: 20240070397
    Abstract: A human-computer interaction method and apparatus. Said method may include: receiving information of at least one modality of a user (201); identifying, on the basis of the information of the at least one modality, intention information of the user and user emotional features corresponding to the intention information (202); determining, on the basis of the intention information, reply information to the user (203); selecting, on the basis of the user emotional features, character emotional features to be fed back to the user (204); and generating, on the basis of the character emotional features and the reply information, a broadcast video of an animated character corresponding to the character emotional features (205).

  • Patent number: 11881205
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a speech synthesis method and device, and a computer-readable storage medium, and relates to the field of computer technology. The method of the present disclosure includes: dividing a text into a plurality of segments according to a language category to which each of the segments belongs; converting each of the segments into a phoneme corresponding to the segment to generate a phoneme sequence of the text according to the language category to which each of the segments belongs; inputting the phoneme sequence into a speech synthesis model trained in advance and converting the phoneme sequence into a vocoder characteristic parameter; and inputting the vocoder characteristic parameter into a vocoder to generate a speech.

  • Publication number: 20230410786
    Abstract: A custom tone and vocal synthesis method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The synthesis method comprises: training a first neural network by means of a speaker record sample to obtain a speaker recognition model, the output training result of the first neural network being a speaker vector sample (S102); training a second neural network by means of an unaccompanied vocal singing sample and the speaker vector sample to obtain an unaccompanied singing synthesis model (S104); inputting a speaker record to be synthesized into the speaker recognition model to obtain speaker information output by the intermediate hidden layer of the speaker recognition model (S106); and inputting unaccompanied singing music information to be synthesized and the speaker information into the unaccompanied singing synthesis model to obtain a synthesized custom tone and vocal (S108).
