Training Text-To-Speech Systems From Synthetic Data: A Practical Approach For Accent Transfer Tasks
Lev Finkelstein, Heiga Zen, Norman Casagrande +9
Transfer tasks in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis - where one or more aspects of the speech of one set of speakers is transferred to another set of speakers that do not feature thes…
Evaluating Long-form Text-to-Speech: Comparing the Ratings of Sentences and Paragraphs
Rob Clark, Hanna Silen, Tom Kenter +1
Text-to-speech systems are typically evaluated on single sentences. When long-form content, such as data consisting of full paragraphs or dialogues is considered, evaluating senten…
CHiVE: Varying Prosody in Speech Synthesis with a Linguistically Driven Dynamic Hierarchical Conditional Variational Network
Vincent Wan, Chun-an Chan, Tom Kenter +2
The prosodic aspects of speech signals produced by current text-to-speech systems are typically averaged over training material, and as such lack the variety and liveliness found i…
HiTR: Hierarchical Topic Model Re-estimation for Measuring Topical Diversity of Documents
Hosein Azarbonyad, Mostafa Dehghani, Tom Kenter +3
A high degree of topical diversity is often considered to be an important characteristic of interesting text documents. A recent proposal for measuring topical diversity identifies…
Neural Networks for Information Retrieval
Tom Kenter, Alexey Borisov, Christophe Van Gysel +3
Machine learning plays a role in many aspects of modern IR systems, and deep learning is applied in all of them. The fast pace of modern-day research has given rise to many approac…
Attentive Memory Networks: Efficient Machine Reading for Conversational Search
Tom Kenter, Maarten de Rijke
Recent advances in conversational systems have changed the search paradigm. Traditionally, a user poses a query to a search engine that returns an answer based on its index, possib…
