英文摘要 | This paper describes a unified Deep Metric Learning (DML) framework to predict the target cost directly by supervised learning method. The conventional methods to calculate the target cost include two separate steps: feature extraction and standard distance measurement. The proposed DML framework aims to measure the similarity between the candidate units and the target units more reasonably and directly. Firstly, the symmetrical DML framework is pre-trained to learn the metric between pairs of candidate units and the target units. The relabeling procedure is added to correct the initial designed label of the target cost. Secondly, the acoustic features of the target units is removed, which fits the runtime of the unit-selection synthesizer. The asymmetrical DML is fine-tuned to learn the metric between candidate units and target units. Compared to the conventional methods, the proposed unified DML framework can avoid the accumulation of errors in separate steps and improve the accuracy in labeling and predicting the target cost. The evaluation results demonstrate that the naturalness of synthetic speech has been improved by adopting DML framework to predict target cost. |
