Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing a representation based on structured data in resources. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of receiving target acoustic features output from a neural network that has been trained to predict acoustic features given linguistic features. Additional actions include determining a distance between the target acoustic features and acoustic features of a stored acoustic sample. Further actions include selecting the acoustic sample to be used in speech synthesis based at least on the determined distance and synthesizing speech based on the selected acoustic sample.
