Abstract
A speech conversion system is described that includes a hierarchical encoder and a decoder. The system may comprise a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions may comprise to: using a second recurrent neural network (RNN) (GRU1) and a first set of encoder vectors derived from a spectrogram as input to the second RNN, determine a second concatenated sequence; determine a second set of encoder vectors by doubling a stack height and halving a length of the second concatenated sequence; using the second set of encoder vectors, determine a third set of encoder vectors; and decode the third set of encoder vectors using an attention block.
