Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating a lightweight, high-quality streaming text-to-speech (TTS) system. For example, some disclosed systems are configured to obtain a first model comprising one or more layers of a convolutional neural network. Each layer of the convolutional neural network is configured to generate a new output from a previous input. The systems also obtain a second model comprising a recurrent neural network. Subsequent to obtaining the first model and the second model, the systems are configured to compile the one or more layers of the convolutional neural network and the recurrent neural network in a parallel architecture to generate a machine learning module such that each model of the machine learning module is configured to receive input simultaneously.
