Fall 2018 term, arxiv submission in progress.

Abstract

Modified RNN based Seq2Seq Architecture (i.e Tacotron) to reduce model size and help speed up training, the following is implemented:

  1. Self attention (Similar to transformer paper)
  2. Guided Attention & Forced incremental Attention (From DCTTS paper)
  3. grapheme & Phoneme mixing input
