Attentive Memory Networks: Efficient Machine Reading for Conversational Search

1 code implementation19 Dec 2017 Tom Kenter, Maarten de Rijke

We argue that the process of building a representation of the conversation can be framed as a machine reading task, where an automated system is presented with a number of statements about which it should answer questions.

CHiVE: Varying Prosody in Speech Synthesis with a Linguistically Driven Dynamic Hierarchical Conditional Variational Network

no code implementations17 May 2019 Vincent Wan, Chun-an Chan, Tom Kenter, Jakub Vit, Rob Clark

The prosodic aspects of speech signals produced by current text-to-speech systems are typically averaged over training material, and as such lack the variety and liveliness found in natural speech.

Evaluating Long-form Text-to-Speech: Comparing the Ratings of Sentences and Paragraphs

no code implementations9 Sep 2019 Rob Clark, Hanna Silen, Tom Kenter, Ralph Leith

We compare the results obtained from evaluating sentences in isolation, evaluating whole paragraphs of speech, and presenting a selection of speech or text as context and evaluating the subsequent speech.
