New sub-center modeling enhances speech generation variability

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new sub-center modeling framework for speaker embeddings in speech generation. This approach moves away from single-prototype representations, learning multiple sub-centers to better capture intra-speaker variability. The method aims to improve naturalness and expressiveness in generated speech by preserving variations crucial for generation, while still maintaining strong speaker verification performance. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more natural and expressive AI-generated speech by better capturing human vocal nuances.

    Rethinking Speaker Embeddings for Speech Generation: Sub-Center Modeling for Capturing Intra-Speaker Diversity

    arXiv:2407.04291v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modeling speech variation is key to natural, expressive generation. Speaker embeddings are commonly used to condition personalized speech systems, but they are typically trained for speaker recognition, where intra-speaker…
