AI Generated Voices: Towards Emotive Speech Synthesis - Vibhor Saran - ADCx India 2024

Traditionally, machine generated voices were synthesised by joining the phonemes of any language, which made these voices robotic in nature. With the availability of more data and advent of deep learning, these AI voices started becoming more human and engaging. The next step is to make these AI generated voices more emotive so that it can laugh, be sad or even cry just like how expressive human speech is. In this talk, we touch base upon deep learning approaches to make synthetic voices more emotive. Specifically, we will focus on how to manipulate the Mel Spectrogram of the speech to make it engaging, removing the dependency of large quantums of data.
