In one or more embodiments, a Gaussian inverse autoregressive flow is distilled from an autoregressive WaveNet by minimizing a novel regularized Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between their highly-peaked output distributions. Embodiments of the methodology computes the KL divergence in a closed-form, which simplifies the training process and provides very efficient distillation. Embodiments of a novel text-to-wave neural architecture for speech synthesis are also described, which are fully convolutional and enable fast end-to-end training from scratch. These embodiments significantly outperform the previous pipeline that connects a text-to-spectrogram model to a separately trained WaveNet. Also, a parallel waveform synthesizer embodiment conditioned on the hidden representation in an embodiment of this end-to-end model were successfully distilled."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Waveform generation using end-to-end text-to-waveform system","description":"Described herein are embodiments of an end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) system with parallel wave generation.
