Abstract

A timbre vector space construction system for building a timbre vector space has an input. The input is configured to receive a first speech segment in a first voice and a second speech segment in a second voice. The system also includes a temporal receptive field to transform the first speech segment into a first plurality of analytical segments, and the second speech segment into a second plurality of analytical segments. Each of the first plurality of smaller analytical segments, and each of the second plurality of analytical segments have a frequency distribution that represents a different portion of the timbre data of the respective voices. The system also includes a machine learning system configured to map the first voice relative to the second voice in the timbre vector space as a function of the frequency distribution of the first plurality of analytical segments the second plurality of analytical segments.
