Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating an adaptive audio-generation model. One of the methods includes generating an adaptive audio-generation model including learning a plurality of embedding vectors and parameter values of a neural network using training data comprising first text and audio data representing a plurality of different individual speakers speaking portions of the first text, wherein the plurality of embedding vectors represent respective voice characteristics of the plurality of different individual speakers. The adaptive audio-generation model is adapted for a new individual speaker using adaptation data comprising second text and audio data representing the new individual speaker speaking portions of the second text, the new individual speaker being different from each of the plurality of individual speakers, wherein adapting the audio-generation model includes learning a new embedding vector for the new individual speaker.
