Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided of using a machine learning model for disentanglement of prosody in spoken natural language. The method includes encoding, by a computing device, the spoken natural language to produce content code. The method further includes resampling, by the computing device without text transcriptions, the content code to obscure the prosody by applying an unsupervised technique to the machine learning model to generate prosody-obscured content code. The method additionally includes decoding, by the computing device, the prosody-obscured content code to synthesize speech indirectly based upon the content code.
