Title:
MODEL GENERATION METHOD, SPEECH SYNTHESIS METHOD AND APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/072543
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the technical field of speech synthesis and discloses a model generation method, a speech synthesis method and an apparatus. The model generation method comprises: acquiring training speech data (202); extracting, from the training speech data, a training speech segment having a first tag type (204); calculating an average difference matrix according to an adjacent candidate speech segment corresponding to the training speech segment having the first tag type before splicing (206); generating, according to the average difference matrix, a splicing cost model having a target splicing weight (208); and performing speech synthesis by means of the splicing cost model having the target splicing weight to obtain synthetic speech information (210). In this way, a splicing cost model having a target splicing weight is generated according to an average difference matrix, avoiding multiple manual adjustments of a weight in a splicing cost model and final generation of a still insufficiently accurate weight, thereby achieving a reduction in the number of manual adjustments and calculation of a more precise target splicing weight directly by an average difference matrix.
