Recent parallel neural text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis methods are able to generate speech with high fidelity while maintaining high performance. However, these systems often lack control over the output prosody, thus restricting the semantic information conveyable for a given text. This paper proposes a hierarchical parallel neural TTS system for prosodic emphasis control by learning a …
Within logistics, shipping is a vast and delicate ecosystem. Over the last couple of years many people were directly impacted by complete production shutdowns, huge and unexpected swings in consumer demand, lack of labor at ports, a shortage of shipping containers… just to name a few! Addressing challenges with business analytics To help with some …
