Description

模型生成方法、语音合成方法及装置
本申请要求于2016年10月17日提交中国专利局、申请号为201610901099.1、发明名称为“语音合成方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明实施例涉及语音合成技术领域，特别涉及一种模型生成方法、语音合成方法及装置。
背景技术
语音合成技术，又称文语转换(Text to Speech)技术，用于将文字信息转化为语音信息。目前使用较为广泛的语音合成技术是基于波形拼接的语音合成技术。
基于波形拼接的语音合成技术的核心思想是：预先构建一个语料库，该语料库中包含各种语音片段；对于输入的文本信息，从语料库中选择合适的多个语音片段拼接得到最终的语音信息。具体来讲，对于已知的一个文本信息W＝(w1，w2，…，wn)，wi为文本基元，采用目标代价和拼接代价从语料库中选择出总代价最小的目标语音片段序列V＝(v1，v2，…，vn)进行语音合成，vi为语音片段。其中，目标代价用于表征文本基元wi对应的预测声学特征与语料库中的候选语音片段的声学特征之间的相似性，目标代价越小，两者越相似；拼接代价用于表征相邻候选语音片段在拼接后的连续性，拼接代价越小，拼接后的语音连续性效果越好。
比如，对于已知的一个文本信息“早安中国”，文本基元“早安”在语料库中对应3个候选语音片段a，文本基元“中国”在语料库中对应2个候选语音片段b，共存在6组候选拼接方案；目标代价用于表征文本基元“早安”对应的预测声学特征与候选语音片段a之间的相似性，以及用于文本基元“中国”对应的预测声学特征与候选语音片段b之间的相似性；而拼接代价用于表征候选语音片段a与候选语音片段b之间的连续性；对于6种候选拼接方案，计算出每种候选拼接方案各自的目标代价和拼接代价，选择出总代价最小的一种候选拼接方 案作为最终的拼接方案，合成得到最终的语音信息。
完整的拼接代价模型由算法模型和权值两部分组成，为了获得较好的连续性效果，这些权值是根据设计者的经验和试错进行手工调整的。具体来讲，在通过具有初始权值的拼接代价模型为输入的文字信息进行语音合成后，需要人工测听语音信息的连续性效果，如果获得不满意的连续性效果，则需要手工调整拼接代价模型中的这些权值；通过使用具有调整后权值的拼接代价模型，将输入的文字信息再次进行语音合成，再一次对合成的语音信息重复上述过程，直至获得满意的连续性效果。
每次手工调整这些权值后，都需要重新进行语音合成并对合成的语音信息的连续性效果进行人工测听，而每次调整后的连续性效果不一定比上一次的连续性结果更优，通常需要很多次的人工测听和手工调整操作才能获得较优的权值和满意的连续性效果。即便如此，最终得到的权值仍然不够准确。

具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本发明实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
首先，对本发明实施例涉及到的一些名词进行解释：
文本基元序列：对输入的文本信息进行拆分，得到一组文本基元序列(w1，w2，…，wn)，wi为第i个文本基元，1≤i≤n，i和n为正整数。
目标代价：用于表征文本基元wi对应的预测声学特征与候选语音片段的声学特征之间的相似性。目标代价越小，代表两者越相似。
可选的，预测声学特征由与文本基元wi对应的声学参数数值来表示，或者预测声学特征由与文本基元wi对应的概率模型来表示。预测声学特征是基频、频谱特征、基频的一阶变化率以及高阶变化率、频谱的一阶变化率以及高阶变化率、信号的能量、信号的过零率中的至少一种。
可选的，候选语音片段是语料库中存储的若干个语音片段。
拼接代价：用于表征相邻候选语音片段之间的连续性。
训练语音数据：是将目标代价最小的语音片段进行拼接所得到的语音数据。
训练语音数据是与目标代价有关且与拼接代价无关的待训练的语音信息。即在训练语音数据的语音合成过程中，不考虑拼接代价的影响(设拼接代价为0)，只考虑目标代价。在本发明实施例中，模型生成方法的拼接过程中假设拼接代价为0，即不考虑拼接代价对语音合成过程的影响。
可选的，训练语音数据包括至少一个训练语音片段，一个训练语音片段是由第一候选语音片段和第二候选语音片段拼接得到的训练语音片段。
训练语音片段的标注类型：包括第一标注类型和第二标注类型。第一标注类型用于标注训练语音片段的语音连续性优于预设条件即语音连续性效果较好的训练语音片段，第二标注类型用于标注训练语音片段的语音连续性低于预设条件即语音连续性效果较差的训练语音片段。
可选的，每个训练语音片段的标注类型由人工测听后标注得到。若人工测听结果为该训练语音片段的连续性较优，则将该训练语音片段标注为第一标注类型；若人工测听结果为该训练语音片段的连续性较差，则将该训练语音片段标注为第二标识类型，第一标注类型所对应的语音连续性优于第二标注类型所对应的语音连续性。
平均差异矩阵：用于表征属于同一类拼接组合关系的多组相邻候选语音片段在声学特征上的平均差异。其中，平均差异矩阵与一类拼接组合关系对应。
由于一个训练语音片段是由第一候选语音片段和第二候选语音片段拼接得到的，因此通过第一候选语音片段和第二候选语音片段在声学特征上的差异，能够求得第一候选语音片段和第二候选语音片段的拼接差异矩阵。对多组属于同一类拼接组合关系的拼接差异矩阵求均值，从而得到该类拼接组合关系所对应的平均差异矩阵。
可选的，若语音片段采用音素为单位进行划分，拼接组合关系包括至少两个音素之间的组合关系。示意性的，拼接组合关系是音素单元a在前且音素单元b在后所组成的组合关系。
比如，拼音“y”和拼音“i”所形成的组合关系是一种拼接组合关系。
拼接代价模型：是具有目标拼接权值的拼接代价模型。其中，拼接代价模型与一类拼接组合关系对应。
其中，目标拼接权值包括第一权值和第二权值。第一权值是拼接的两个候选语音片段中的第n个声学特征对应的权值，第二权值是两个候选语音片段中的第t个重叠帧的声学特征对应的第二权值。
在介绍本发明实施例提供的模型生成方法以及语音合成方法之前，先介绍一下相关技术中基于波形拼接的语音合成过程。请参考图1A，其示出了一种基于波形拼接的语音合成方法的原理示意图。
用户向服务器输入一个文本信息，服务器对输入的文本信息进行拆分，得到一组文本基元序列(w1，w2，…，wn)，经过一系列的步骤，最终服务器将该组文本基元序列转化为一组目标语音片段序列(v1，v2，…，vn)进行语音合成，得到与输入的文本信息对应的语音信息。以两个前后相邻的文本基元即文本基元w1、文本基元w2为例进行具体说明，服务器根据预设声学模型，将文本基元w1和文本基元w2进行前端处理，分别得到与文本基元w1对应的预测声学特征1，与文本基元w2对应的预测声学特征2。对于文本基元w1对应的预测声学特征1，从语料库中选择出三个第一候选语音片段，三个第一候选语音片段包括候选语音片段a1、候选语音片段a2、候选语音片段a3；对于文本基元w2对应的预测声学特征2，从语料库中选择出两个第二候选语音片段，两个第二候选语音片段包括候选语音片段b1、候选语音片段b2。
当将三个第一候选语音片段和两个第二候选语音片段进行拼接时，一共存在6组候选拼接方案，如表一所示。第一组候选拼接方案为候选语音片段a1 与候选语音片段b1拼接，第二组候选拼接方案为候选语音片段a2与候选语音片段b1拼接，第三组候选拼接方案为候选语音片段a3与候选语音片段b1拼接，第四组候选拼接方案为候选语音片段a1与候选语音片段b2拼接，第五组候选拼接方案为候选语音片段a2与候选语音片段b2拼接，第六组候选拼接方案为候选语音片段a3与候选语音片段b2拼接。其中，对于第一组候选拼接方案，服务器根据目标代价模型计算文本基元w1与对应的候选语音片段a1之间的第一目标代价TC11，文本基元w2与对应的候选语音片段b1之间的第二目标代价TC50，根据拼接代价模型计算候选语音片段a1与候选语音片段b1之间的拼接代价CC11，计算得到与第一组候选拼接方案对应的总代价RC1，总代价RC1包括第一目标代价TC11、第二目标代价TC50和第一拼接代价CC11；依次类推，分别计算得到与第二组候选拼接方案对应的总代价RC2，与第三组候选拼接方案对应的总代价RC3，与第四组候选拼接方案对应的总代价RC4，与第五组候选拼接方案对应的总代价RC5，与第六组候选拼接方案对应的总代价RC6。服务器将这六组候选拼接方案对应的总代价进行比较，比较结果为第二组候选拼接方案所对应的总代价RC2最小，即确定出候选语音片段a1与候选语音片段b2属于目标语音片段，进行最终的语音拼接，并得到最终的合成语音。
表一
Figure PCTCN2017097314-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2017097314-appb-000002
在本发明实施例中，以上述的第四组候选拼接方案即候选语音片段a1与候选语音片段b2为例，拼接代价模型可以采用如下公式定义：
Figure PCTCN2017097314-appb-000003
wn＝[wn＝1 wn＝2 … wn＝N]T
Figure PCTCN2017097314-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2017097314-appb-000005
CC为拼接代价，该CC用于表征候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2的连续性，T为候选语音片段a1或候选语音片段b2的重叠帧的帧数，wt为候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2的第t个重叠帧的声学特征对应的第二权值，N为候选语音片段a1或候选语音片段b2包含的声学特征的个数，wn为候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2的第n个声学特征对应的第一权值，|Δf|为候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2的第n个声学特征的声学距离测度，F为候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2对应的拼接差异矩阵。可选的，|Δf|为候选语音片段a1的第n个声学特征与候选语音片段b2的第n个声学特征之间的声学距离测度。
结合参考图1B，当候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2拼接时，假设候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2只有1个重叠帧，候选语音片段a1在该重叠帧上具有N个声学特征(或者说N维声学特征)，候选语音片段b2在该重叠帧上对应存在N个声学特征(或者说N维声学特征)文本基元w1文本基元w2。由于用户发音时，对于不同的相邻候选语音片段，口型过渡和音调过渡是不同的，即不同的相邻候选语音片段所对应的第n个声学特征对应的第一权值wn和第t个重叠帧(图1B中假设只有1个重叠帧)的声学特征对应的第二权值wt也是不同的。根据候选语音片段a1或候选语音片段b2包含的声学特征的个数，将候选语音片段a1和候选语音片段b2的每个声学特征的声学距离测度 与相对应的第一权值wn相乘求和，再根据候选语音片段a1或候选语音片段b2的重叠帧的帧数，将与第i个重叠帧相对应的第一权值wn相乘求和的结果再与相对应的第二权值wt相乘求和得到拼接代价。
其中，通过奇异值矩阵分解，可以将拼接代价的计算公式进行如下变形：
Figure PCTCN2017097314-appb-000006
根据上述的几个公式可知，服务器可以预先通过训练语音数据(相当于训练样本)计算得到拼接差异矩阵F，根据拼接差异矩阵F，计算得到第一权值wn和第二权值wt，即当第一权值wn与第一分解矩阵U正交且第二权值wt与第二分解矩阵V正交，即u＝0、v＝0时，拼接代价最小，将此时的第一权值wn和第二权值wt确定为目标拼接权值。为此，本发明提供如下实施例。
请参考图2，其示出了本发明一个实施例提供的语音合成方法的方法流程图。该语音合成方法可由具有语音处理能力的服务器或终端来执行，该语音合成方法包括：
步骤202，获取训练语音数据。
可选的，服务器获取待训练的训练语音数据，该训练语音数据包括多个训练语音片段。

可选的，服务器确定该训练语音数据所包括的至少两个训练语音片段，至少两个训练语音片段的标注类型包括第一标注类型和/或第二标注类型，从至少两个训练语音片段中提取x个具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段，x为正整数。
步骤206，根据具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段在拼接前所对应的相邻候选语音片段，计算得到平均差异矩阵。
可选的，在提取出x个具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段之后，对于每个具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段，服务器根据该训练语音片段在拼接前所对应的相邻候选语音片段，计算得到拼接差异矩阵。对于多组属于同一类拼接组合关系的拼接差异矩阵求均值，计算得到该类拼接组合关系所对应的平均差异矩阵。
步骤208，根据平均差异矩阵，生成具有目标拼接权值的拼接代价模型。
可选的，服务器根据计算得到的平均差异矩阵，通过预设公式计算得到拼接代价模型，该拼接代价模型具有目标拼接权值。
步骤210，通过具有目标拼接权值的拼接代价模型进行语音合成，得到合成的语音信息。
可选的，当服务器确定需要进行语音合成的文本信息时，服务器通过该拼接代价模型将确定的文本信息进行语音合成，得到合成的语音信息。
在实际的语音合成过程中，服务器将生成的拼接代价模型传输给终端，使得终端能够采用拼接代价模型进行应用。
可选的，终端从服务器中获取生成的拼接代价模型，当终端接收到需要进行语音合成的文本信息时，终端通过该拼接代价模型将输入的文本信息进行语音合成，得到合成的语音信息。
需要说明的是，步骤202至步骤208可以单独实现成为一种模型生成方法，该模型生成方法通常由服务器来完成，用于生成具有目标拼接权值的拼接代价模型；步骤210为一种语音合成方法，该语音合成方法通常由服务器或终端来完成，用于采用步骤202至步骤208所生成的拼接代价模型将输入的文本信息进行语音合成，得到合成的语音信息。下面，仅以服务器完成模型生成方法，且终端完成语音合成方法为例进行说明，
综上所述，本实施例通过根据具有第一标注类型的多个训练语音片段在拼接前所对应的相邻候选语音片段，计算得到平均差异矩阵，根据平均差异矩阵生成具有目标拼接权值的拼接代价模型；其中，每个平均差异矩阵用于表征属于同一类拼接组合关系的多组相邻候选语音片段在声学特征上的平均差异，由于拼接代价模型是根据平均差异矩阵计算得到的，因此使得生成的拼接代价模型具有精准的权值，减少了手工调整次数，避免了需要多次手工调整拼接代价模型中的权值，且最终得到的权值仍然不够准确的情况。

其中，TCi为文本基元wi对应的目标代价，wn为预设的第一权值，|fa,n-fa',n|为文本基元wi对应的预测声学特征a’中的第n个声学特征与候选语音片段a的第n个声学特征之间的声学距离测度。
可选的，若声学特征采用具体的声学参数取值来表示，则声学距离测度可以取欧几里德距离或差值绝对值。
示意性的，若存在10个文本基元wi，则服务器从语料库中对应选择出10个具有最小目标代价的语音片段vi。
步骤301d，服务器根据选择出的语音片段vi所组成的训练语音片段序列(v1，v2，…，vn)进行语音合成，得到与待训练的文本信息对应的训练语音数据。
步骤302，服务器从训练语音数据中提取具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段。
可选的，步骤302可以被替代实现为步骤302a和步骤302b，如图4B所示：
步骤302a，服务器获取训练语音数据中至少一个训练语音片段的标注类型，每个训练语音片段的标注类型为第一标注类型或第二标注类型，第一标注类型所对应的语音连续性优于第二标注类型所对应的语音连续性。

步骤303，服务器对于每个具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段，根据训练语音片段在拼接前所对应的相邻候选语音片段计算得到拼接差异矩阵。
可选的，训练语音片段为多个，比如几百个、几千个或者上万个。服务器对于每个具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段，根据该训练语音片段在拼接前所对应的相邻候选语音片段计算得到与该训练语音片段所对应的拼接差异矩阵。
服务器计算拼接差异矩阵的步骤包括：
1)对于每个具有第一标注类型的训练语音片段，服务器获取训练语音片段在拼接前所对应的候选语音片段a和候选语音片段b。
2)服务器获取候选语音片段a的每个重叠帧对应的第一组声学特征和候选语音片段b的每个重叠帧对应的第二组声学特征。
可选的，候选语音片段a和候选语音片段b的重叠帧的帧数可以是一帧，也可以是多帧。示意性的，如图5所示，设当前时刻为t0，候选语音片段a的最后一帧所在时刻为t0，候选语音片段b的第一帧所在时刻为t0，当拼接窗口长度T＝1帧时，候选语音片段a的最后一帧与候选语音片段b的第一帧重叠，即“a(t0)+b(t0)”；也即，在拼接过程中，候选语音片段a和候选语音片段b存在一个重叠帧。
示意性的，如图6所示，设当前时刻为t0，候选语音片段a的最后一帧所在时刻为t0，候选语音片段b的第一帧所在时刻为t0，当拼接窗口长度T取任意值时，候选语音片段a的第t0帧至第t0+T-1帧分别与候选语音片段b的第t0-T+1帧至第t0帧重叠，即“a(t0：t0+T-1)+b(t0-T+1：t0)”，本发明实施例对重叠帧的帧数T不加以限定，示意性的，该重叠帧的帧数T为20帧。

其中，拼接差异矩阵集合包括属于同一种拼接组合关系的m个拼接差异矩阵，m为正整数。
可选的，每个测量语音片段所对应的相邻候选语音片段能够计算出一个拼接差异矩阵，若测量语音片段为一万个，则可以计算出一万个拼接差异矩阵。
候选语音片段具有不同的音素或音节类型，若一个训练语音片段是由a类型的语音片段在前且b类型的语音片段所拼接得到的，则该训练语音片段所对应的拼接组合关系是：a类型的语音片段在前且b类型的语音片段在后。
示意性的，若候选语音片段采用音素为单位进行划分，比如候选语音片段a是拼音“y”所对应的语音片段，候选语音片段b是拼音“i”所对应的语音片段，则拼音“y”和拼音“i”所形成的组合关系就是一种拼接组合关系。对于拼音“y”和拼音“i”所形成的拼接组合关系，可能存在几百个拼接差异矩阵，则这几百个拼接差异矩阵都归类至与拼接组合关系“y+i”所对应的拼接差异矩阵集合。
步骤305，服务器对每个拼接差异矩阵集合中的拼接差异矩阵计算均值，得到与每一种拼接组合关系所对应的平均差异矩阵。

其中，ab代表由a类型的语音片段在前且b类型的语音片段在后的拼接组合关系；示意性的，该类型是指音素类型。
步骤307，服务器将第一分解矩阵U的正交矩阵生成为第一权值wn，将第二分解矩阵V的正交矩阵生成为第二权值wt。
可选的，服务器通过如下公式定义拼接代价：
Figure PCTCN2017097314-appb-000009
根据上述公式可知，当第一权值wn与第一分解矩阵U正交且第二权值wt与第二分解矩阵V正交，即u＝0、v＝0时，拼接代价最小，将此时的第一权值wn和第二权值wt确定为目标拼接权值。
步骤308，服务器生成具有第一权值wn和第二权值wt的拼接代价模型。
服务器生成拼接代价模型如下：

步骤309，终端通过具有目标拼接权值的拼接代价模型进行语音合成，得到合成的语音信息。
综上所述，本实施例还通过对每个拼接差异矩阵集合中的拼接差异矩阵计算均值，得到与每一种拼接组合关系所对应的平均差异矩阵，通过对每个平均差异矩阵进行奇异值分解确定第一权值和第二权值，从而使得计算出的权值更加精确。
在一种可能的实施例中，上述实施例中，由服务器得到的拼接代价模型可 以传输给终端在实际的语音合成过程中进行应用。此时，步骤309可以被替代实现为步骤309a、步骤309b、步骤309c、步骤309d和步骤309e，如图7所示：
