Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments of the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not limited by the exemplary embodiments described herein. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the invention described herein without inventive step, shall fall within the scope of protection of the invention.
Currently, the more common speech synthesis methods include a parametric method, a concatenation method, a sequence-to-sequence method, and the like. The parameter method and the splicing method need corpus training with phonon boundary information, phonon duration information corresponding to voice can be easily obtained, and the two modes have been in large-scale stable service in the industry for many years. However, the speech generated by the two methods is relatively hard and the user experience is poor. Compared with two traditional methods, the voice synthesized by a sequence-to-sequence voice synthesis model based on an attention mechanism has obvious, smooth and natural tone quality, but the information of the duration of the phonons cannot be given at present.
The speech synthesis scheme of the present invention is implemented using an attention-based sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) neural network model. The attention mechanism is to select information more critical to the current target task from a plurality of information. So-called sequence-to-sequence neural network models are able to transform one sequence into another sequence through the action of a recurrent neural network. A sequence-to-sequence neural network model based on an attention mechanism is not only able to translate one input sequence into a corresponding output sequence, but is also able to determine which input elements in the input sequence are more critical, i.e., the degree of correlation between the input elements and the output elements, for any output element in the output sequence.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic flow diagram of a speech synthesis method 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the speech synthesis method 100 includes the following steps.
The text to be synthesized is converted into an input sequence comprising a plurality of phononic elements S110.
The text to be synthesized is the text that needs to be subjected to speech synthesis. In one example, taking the text "hello" to be synthesized as an example, it may be converted to a toned sub-input sequence [ n, i3, h, ao3 ]. For each element in the input sequence, it may be referred to as a phonon element. In this example, "n", "i 3", "h", and "ao 3" are phonon elements in the input sequence, respectively.
And S120, inputting the input sequence into a sequence neural network model based on an attention mechanism to obtain a correlation matrix between the input sequence and the acoustic characteristic sequence and outputting the acoustic characteristic sequence containing the voice frame set. Each element in the correlation matrix represents a weight value of a corresponding phonon element in a corresponding voice frame set.
This step is used to generate a synthesized speech corresponding to the text to be synthesized by a sequence-to-sequence neural network model based on an attention mechanism. For the neural network model described above, the synthesized speech it generates is represented in the form of a sequence of acoustic features. The sequence of acoustic features can be directly converted by the player into speech that can be perceived audibly. The acoustic feature sequence can be any one or a combination of a Mel spectrum parameter sequence, a fundamental frequency parameter sequence and a bark spectrum parameter sequence. One or more sets of speech frames may be included in the acoustic signature sequence.
In one example, the acoustic signature sequence is a sequence of mel-spectrum parameters that comprise a set of speech frames. For the attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network model, every time a set of speech frames in the Mel's spectral parameter sequence is to be generated, a correlation vector between all the phonon elements in the input sequence and the current set of speech frames is computed. Each element in the relevancy vector represents a weight value occupied by the corresponding phonon element and the current voice frame set. All correlation vectors constitute a correlation matrix between the input sequence and the acoustic feature sequence.
FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating the composition of a correlation matrix according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2A, the first row in the table represents a sequence of acoustic features, including 6 sets of speech frames; the first column in the table represents the input sequence, comprising 4 phonon elements. The values larger than 0 and smaller than 1 in the table represent the weight values of the corresponding phone sub-elements in the corresponding voice frame set, and the positions with empty values represent the corresponding weight values as 0. For example, a value of 0.7 in the sixth column of the second row indicates that the phonon element "ao 3" occupies a weight value of 0.7 in the fifth speech frame set, and a value of 0.7 in the second column of the fifth row indicates that the phonon element "n" occupies a weight value of 0.7 in the first speech frame set.
And S130, determining the pronunciation duration occupied by each phonon element in each voice frame set based on the weight value.
As indicated previously, the weight values reflect the proportional relationship of the phone elements in the input sequence to the set of speech frames in the acoustic feature sequence. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2A, in the first set of speech frames, the "n" phonon element is 0.7, and the "i 3" phonon element is 0.3.
When the voice frame set actually pronounces, the time length of the phoneme in each voice frame set and the weight value have strong correlation. In an embodiment of the present application, each phoneme element is assigned a pronunciation duration in each set of speech frames based on the weight value.
In the example shown in fig. 2A, the input sequence is a sequence containing 4 phoneme elements [ n, i3, h, ao3], and the output sequence is a mel-spectrum parameter sequence containing 6 speech frame sets [ y1, y2, y3, y4, y5, y6 ]. Wherein, each voice frame set comprises one or more voice frames, and each voice frame has a specific pronunciation time. That is, the pronunciation duration t0 of each speech frame set can be determined. On this basis, if it is known that the weighting value of the phoneme element "n" in the speech frame set "y 1" is a1, the pronunciation time length of the phoneme element "n" in the speech frame set "y 1" is t1 — a1 × t 0.
And S140, determining the total pronunciation time length of each phonon element in the acoustic feature sequence according to the pronunciation time length of each phonon element in each voice frame set.
In the example shown in fig. 2A, the acoustic signature sequence contains 6 speech frame sets. Respectively calculating the pronunciation time length t1, t2, t3, t4, t5 and t6 occupied by the phonon element "n" in each voice frame set, wherein the total pronunciation time length occupied by the phonon element "n" in the acoustic feature sequence [ y1, y2, y3, y4, y5 and y6] is as follows: t (n) ═ t1+ t2+ t3+ t4+ t5+ t 6.
FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating the calculation of phone time duration based on a correlation matrix, according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2B, it is known that the pronunciation time length of each speech frame set is 100ms, the weight occupied by the phoneme element "n" in the first speech frame set is 0.7 (see fig. 2A), and the pronunciation time length of the phoneme element "n" in the first speech frame set is 100 × 0.7 ═ 70 ms. According to fig. 2B, the pronunciation duration of the phonon element "n" in the second set of speech frames is 60ms, the pronunciation duration of the phonon element "n" in the third set of speech frames is 10ms, and the pronunciation durations in the remaining sets of speech frames are null (representing 0), so that the total pronunciation duration occupied by the phonon element "n" in the whole acoustic feature sequence is 70+60+10 — 140 ms.
In the technical scheme, the sequence-to-sequence neural network model based on the attention mechanism is used for carrying out voice synthesis, and pronunciation duration in the output acoustic characteristic sequence is distributed to the phonon elements in the input sequence according to the generated correlation matrix. Not only natural and smooth voice is obtained, but also information of pronunciation duration of the phonon elements is provided, and user experience is effectively improved.
In one example, the attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network model includes an encoder (Encode) and a decoder (Decode).
The encoder may be implemented using a neural network with specific parameters. For different input elements, the encoder will produce different implicit outputs, which are called encoder implicit states.
The decoder may also be implemented using a neural network with specific parameters. The decoder is connected with the encoder. The input elements of the decoder include all the output elements of the encoder. For different input elements of the decoder, the decoder will also produce different implicit outputs, referred to as decoder implicit states.
As previously described, in step 120, the input sequence is input into an attention-based sequence to a sequence neural network model to obtain a correlation matrix between the input sequence and the acoustic feature sequence. The attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network model in one embodiment of the invention includes the encoder and decoder described above. FIG. 3 shows a schematic flow diagram for obtaining a correlation matrix from the attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network model, according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, obtaining the correlation matrix includes the following steps:
And S310, inputting the input sequence into the encoder to be encoded so as to obtain a plurality of encoder hidden states respectively corresponding to the plurality of phonon elements. In this embodiment, a plurality of phonon elements in an input sequence is encoded with an encoder. And then, a plurality of encoder hidden states respectively corresponding to the phonon elements can be obtained.
At S320, the decoder implicit state is determined. The decoder hidden state may include a preset initial hidden state. As mentioned before, the output element of the encoder can also be used as the input element of the decoder to obtain the decoder implicit state.
The correlation matrix is determined based on the plurality of encoder hidden states and decoder hidden states S330. The encoder hidden state and the decoder hidden state contain information of the phonon elements and the speech frame set. Therefore, the correlation matrix can be accurately determined, and the duration of the phonon element can be accurately determined.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic flow chart of the above step S320 for determining the implicit state of the decoder according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the step S320 of determining the implicit state of the decoder includes the following steps:
the decoder is initialized to determine an initial implicit state of the decoder S321. Preset initialization parameters may be input to the decoder to obtain an initial implicit state of the decoder.
A current correlation vector in the correlation matrix is determined based on the plurality of encoder hidden states and a previous decoder hidden state S322.
S323, determining current weighting characteristics based on a plurality of encoder hidden states of an encoder and a current relevance vector in a relevance matrix.
S324, determining the current implicit state of the decoder based on the previous implicit state of the decoder and the current weighting characteristic.
The above-described process of determining the implicit state of the decoder is described in detail below with reference to fig. 5.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of speech synthesis according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5, for the attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network model, x1, x2, x3, and x4 are input elements in the input sequence, respectively, and y1, y2, y3, y4, y5, and y6 are output elements in the output sequence, respectively. In one example, x1, x2, x3, x4 are phone elements, respectively, and y1, y2, y3, y4, y5, y6 are mel-spectrum frame sets in the acoustic feature sequence, respectively. Each speech frame set contains a specific number of speech frames, for example, each speech frame set contains 5 speech frames. Each speech frame has a specific duration. Thus, each set of speech frames also has a specific duration, e.g. 100ms, accordingly.
The attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network model shown in fig. 5 includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder implicit states generated by the encoder for the phoneme elements x1, x2, x3, x4 are represented in fig. 5 by h1, h2, h3, h4, respectively. In one example, the encoder implicit states h1, h2, h3, and h4 are in a linear relationship with the phoneme elements x1, x2, x3, and x4, respectively.
Data processing in a sequence-to-sequence neural network model based on an attention mechanism is sometimes sequential. The Mel spectrum frame set in the acoustic feature sequence finally output by the model is a time sequence, and different output elements in the output sequence are respectively generated at different moments. Wherein the decoder implicit state of the decoder is also sometimes sequential. In the embodiment of fig. 5, the decoder implicit states are represented as H0, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6. Where H0 represents the decoder initial implicit state. H0 may be preset as a vector whose elements are all 0. H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6 represent subsequent implicit states of the decoder, which correspond to different sets of speech frames, respectively.
After the input sequence is input to the encoder for encoding and the encoder implicit states h1, h2, h3 and h4 are obtained, the current relevance vector in the relevance matrix can be determined based on these encoder implicit states and the previous implicit state of the decoder. The relationship between the encoder hidden state and the previous hidden state of the decoder determines the correlation between the two, from which the current correlation vector [ a1, a2, a3, a4] can be determined.
The current weighted feature may be determined from the encoder implicit states h1, h2, h3, and h4 and the current correlation vector [ a1, a2, a3, a4] in the correlation matrix. The current weighted feature may be a weighted sum of encoder implicit states h1, h2, h3, and h4 based on the current correlation vector [ a1, a2, a3, a4 ]. As shown in fig. 5, a1, a2, a3 and a4 are weight values corresponding to h1, h2, h3 and h4, respectively. The specific value of the correlation vector is different for the weighted features at different time instants.
Each of the decoder implicit states H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6 corresponds to a weighted feature, respectively. The current implicit state of the decoder may be determined based on the previous implicit state of the decoder and the current weighted characteristics.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the decoder is first initialized to determine the initial hidden state H0 of the decoder.
A first correlation vector in the correlation matrix is determined from the encoder hidden states H1, H2, H3 and H4 and the decoder initial hidden state H0. The first weighted feature C1 is determined based on the encoder hidden states h1, h2, h3, and h4 and the first relevance vector. The decoder first hidden state H1 is determined by the decoder initial hidden state H0 and the first weighted feature C1 together.
A second correlation vector in the correlation matrix is determined from the encoder hidden states H1, H2, H3 and H4 and the decoder first hidden state H1. The second weighted feature C2 is determined based on the encoder implicit states h1, h2, h3 and h4 and the second correlation vector. The decoder two implicit states H2 are determined by the decoder first implicit state H1 and the second weighted profile C2 together.
By analogy, the ith correlation vector in the correlation matrix is determined according to the encoder hidden states H1, H2, H3 and H4 and the (i-1) th hidden state H (i-1) of the decoder. The ith weighted feature Ci is determined based on the encoder hidden states h1, h2, h3, and h4 and the ith relevance vector. The decoder ith hidden state Hi is determined by the decoder (i-1) th hidden state H (i-1) and the ith weighting feature Ci.
After the decoder hidden state is determined in step S323, step S330 is performed to determine a correlation matrix. As described above, a current correlation vector in the correlation matrix may be determined based on a plurality of encoder hidden states and a previous decoder hidden state. And forming a correlation matrix by all the correlation vectors.
The correlation matrix determined in the scheme accurately reflects the correlation between the output acoustic characteristic sequence and the input sequence. Furthermore, the method and the device ensure that the scheme can obtain more accurate duration of the phonon elements.
Fig. 6 shows a schematic flow chart of the step S322 of determining the relevance vector according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 6, the step S322 of determining the current relevance vector specifically includes the following steps:
the probability of each encoder implicit state relative to the previous implicit state of the decoder is calculated S331.
Assume that the current correlation vector is the ith correlation vector Ai, i is a natural number. In the example of FIG. 5, the probability of each of the encoder hidden states H1, H2, H3, and H4 is calculated relative to the decoder previous hidden state H (i-1).
In one example, a dot product value of each encoder implicit state with a previous implicit state of the decoder is calculated to take the dot product value as the probability. That is, H1. H (i-1), H2. H (i-1), H3. H (i-1) and H4. H (i-1) were calculated, respectively.
And S332, normalizing the probability to obtain a normalized probability.
In one example, the probabilities are normalized using a softmax function to obtain softmax (H1. H (i-1)), softmax (H2. H (i-1)), softmax (H3. H (i-1)), and softmax (H4. H (i-1)), respectively.
And S333, determining the current relevance vector based on all the normalized probabilities.
In the above example, [ softmax (H1 · H (i-1)), softmax (H2 · H (i-1)), softmax (H3 · H (i-1)), softmax (H4 · H (i-1)) ] is the current correlation vector, on the basis of obtaining each normalized probability.
On the basis of the determination of each current correlation vector, a more accurate correlation matrix can be obtained. Wherein the relevancy vector represents the weight value of each input phonon element in the output voice frame set. And allocating time length to each input element according to the weight value, so that the pronunciation time length of each input element corresponds to the proportion of the pronunciation time length in the output element, and the phonon time length in the acoustic characteristic sequence can be accurately predicted.
In one example, a unique identifier is added to each phononic element based on its position in the input sequence. It will be appreciated that the position of each phononic element in the input sequence is uniquely determined, and an identifier is added to each phononic element based on the position information, and is therefore also uniquely determined. In this case, the step of determining the total pronunciation time length of each phoneme element in the acoustic feature sequence according to the pronunciation time length of each phoneme element in each voice frame set includes: and adding the pronunciation duration occupied by each phonon element in all the voice frame sets according to the identifier to obtain the total pronunciation duration occupied by each phonon element in the acoustic feature sequence. For example, the phonon element "n" shown in fig. 2B occupies a pronunciation time period of 70ms in the first voice frame set, 60ms in the second voice frame set, and 10ms in the third voice frame set. Thus, the total duration of pronunciation of the phonon element "n" in the acoustic feature sequence is 140 ms.
Each phoneme element has a unique position identifier, and pronunciation durations occupied by the corresponding phoneme elements in all the voice frame sets are added according to the position identifiers, so that the condition that pronunciation durations of the same phoneme element appearing at different positions of an input sequence are superposed by mistake can be avoided, and the accuracy of the pronunciation durations is ensured.
In one example, the pronunciation time period of each phononic element in the acoustic feature sequence may be determined based on a pronunciation time period of the each phononic element in the acoustic feature sequence. It is understood that the phoneme elements in the input sequence are determined, and when the pronunciation duration of each phoneme element is further determined, the pronunciation time period of each phoneme element in the acoustic feature sequence can be accurately obtained. The starting time of the pronunciation time period of each phonon element is the time corresponding to the sum of the durations of the other phonon elements before the phonon element; the ending time of the pronunciation time period of each phonon element is the corresponding time after the sum of the time lengths of the other phonon elements before the phonon element and the pronunciation time length of the phonon element. For example, in fig. 2B, the start time of the phonon element "h" is the time when the phonon elements "n" and "i 3" are pronounced after the end time of the first speech frame set, and the end time is the time when 10ms elapses after the start time, that is, the time when the second speech frame set ends. In other words, the pronunciation period of the phonon element "h" is from 190(100+60+30) ms to 200 ms.
The pronunciation time period of the factor is determined based on the pronunciation duration of the phonons, so that the specific application object can be adjusted according to the phonon elements pronouncing at different time periods, and the application range of voice synthesis is wider.

S720, the virtual anchor sends out the voice, and the playing mouth shape of the virtual anchor when sending out the voice is determined according to the pronunciation time period of each phonon element in the acoustic feature sequence of the voice. When the virtual main broadcast is played in the video and the virtual main broadcast sends out the voice, the playing mouth shape of the virtual main broadcast is determined according to the pronunciation time interval of the phonon element in the acoustic feature sequence of the voice, which is determined in the step S710. In other words, the speaking mouth shape corresponds to the pronunciation time interval of the phonon element.
