Abstract

Machine learned models take in vectors representing desired behaviors and generate voice vectors that provide the parameters for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. Models may be trained on behavior vectors that include user profile attributes, situational attributes, or semantic attributes. Situational attributes may include age of people present, music that is playing, location, noise, and mood. Semantic attributes may include presence of proper nouns, number of modifiers, emotional charge, and domain of discourse. TTS voice parameters may apply per utterance and per word as to enable contrastive emphasis.
