Abstract
An example intent-recognition system comprises a processor and memory storing instructions. The instructions cause the processor to receive speech input comprising spoken words. The instructions cause the processor to generate text results based on the speech input and generate acoustic feature annotations based on the speech input. The instructions also cause the processor to apply an intent model to the text result and the acoustic feature annotations to recognize an intent based on the speech input. An example system for adapting an emotional text-to-speech model comprises a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to receive training examples comprising speech input and receive labelling data comprising emotion information associated with the speech input. The instructions also cause the processor to extract audio signal vectors from the training examples and generate an emotion-adapted voice font model based on the audio signal vectors and the labelling data.
