Systems and methods are provided for generating a lightweight, high-quality streaming text-to-speech (TTS) system. For example, some disclosed systems are configured to obtain a first model comprising one or more layers of a convolutional neural network. Each layer of the convolutional neural network is configured to generate a new output from a previous input. The systems also obtain a second model comprising a recurrent neural network. Subsequent to obtaining the first model and the second model, the systems are configured to compile the one or more layers of the convolutional neural network and the recurrent neural network in a parallel architecture to generate a machine learning module such that each model of the machine learning module is configured to receive input simultaneously.

Streaming, lightweight and high-quality device neural TTS system

Novel solutions for speech recognition provide contextual spelling correction (CSC) for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Disclosed examples include receiving an audio stream; performing an ASR process on the audio stream to produce an ASR hypothesis; receiving a context list; and, based on at least the ASR hypothesis and the context list, performing spelling correction to produce an output text sequence. A contextual spelling correction (CSC) model is used on top of an ASR model, precluding the need for changing the original ASR model. This permits run-time user customization based on contextual data, even for large-size context lists. Some examples include filtering ASR hypotheses for the audio stream and, based on at least the ASR hypotheses filtering, determining whether to trigger spelling correction for the ASR hypothesis. Some examples include generating text to speech (TTS) audio using preprocessed transcriptions with context phrases to train the CSC model.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for data processing. If a kernel module sends a data calling request to a userspace process, first modification time information and second modification time information of data corresponding to the data calling request are obtained by the userspace process. The first and second modification time information are used to indicate modification time information of the data in the kernel module and in a file service end, respectively. The first and second modification time information are compared by the userspace process. If the first and second modification time information are inconsistent, a verification invalidation result is returned to the kernel module. The data in the kernel module is invalidated by the kernel module according to the verification invalidation result. The data in the file service is synchronized by the userspace process to the kernel module.

Method, apparatus, device and storage medium for data processing

Automatic generation of intelligent content is created using a system of computers including a user device and a cloud-based component that processes the user information. The system performs a process that includes receiving an input document and parsing the input document to generate inputs for a natural language generation model using a text analysis model. The natural language generation model generates one or more candidate presentation scripts based on the inputs. A presentation script is selected from the candidate presentation scripts and displayed. A text-to-speech model may be used to generate a synthesized audio presentation of the presentation script. A final presentation may be generated that includes a visual display of the input document and the corresponding audio presentation in sync with the visual display.

Automated script generation and audio-visual presentations

Systems are configured for generating spectrogram data characterized by a voice timbre of a target speaker and a prosody style of source speaker by converting a waveform of source speaker data to phonetic posterior gram (PPG) data, extracting additional prosody features from the source speaker data, and generating a spectrogram based on the PPG data and the extracted prosody features. The systems are configured to utilize/train a machine learning model for generating spectrogram data and for training a neural text-to-speech model with the generated spectrogram data.

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for recommending new connections based on profile similarity and existing interconnections within a social network. One method includes an operation for detecting a request for new connections for a member of the social network, where the profile of the member includes values for certain attributes. Additionally, the method includes operations for identifying members that have at least one equal attribute to the attributes of the member, and for calculating a connection score for each identified member based on the respective values of the identified members attributes. Members are selected from the identified members based on the connection scores, and a ranking score for each selected member is obtained utilizing a machine learning algorithm that utilizes similarity analysis of the attributes to calculate the ranking score. The selected members are presented to the member as the possible new connections based on the ranking scores.

Embodiments of a system and method for controlling access to personal information are generally described herein. In an example, a method may include receiving, at an internal server, data including personal information from a third party website, the personal information including a member identification to a social networking service, adding a time to live envelope to the data, receiving a request for the data, determining whether the time to live envelope indicates that the data is accessible, in response to determining that the time to live envelope indicates that the data is accessible, releasing the data according to the request, and aggregating the data with other information.

The technology relates to converting text to speech utilizing recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The recurrent neural networks may be implemented as multiple modules for determining properties of the text. In embodiments, a part-of-speech RNN module, letter-to-sound RNN module, a linguistic prosody tagger RNN module, and a context awareness and semantic mining RNN module may all be utilized. The properties from the RNN modules are processed by a hyper-structure RNN module that determine the phonetic properties of the input text based on the outputs of the other RNN modules. The hyper-structure RNN module may generate a generation sequence that is capable of being converting to audible speech by a speech synthesizer. The generation sequence may also be optimized by a global optimization module prior to being synthesized into audible speech.

Hyper-structure recurrent neural networks for text-to-speech

An index for large databases is disclosed. Data is grouped into clusters and the clusters are grouped into levels of detail. Analysis results are determined based on progressive data sampling. Sampling is conducted based on the level of detail required and/or the resources (time or computing resources) that are available. Larger, more concentrated clusters, at higher levels of detail, are sampled more sparsely. Smaller, more diffuse clusters, at lower levels of detail, are sampled more intensively. Analysis results, including outlier data, include proportional representation from the whole database up to the level of detail required. Results are quickly determined with specified degree of accuracy, based on initial sampling, and are refined with subsequent sampling.
