Abstract

A speech synthesis method includes: converting a text input sequence into a text feature representation sequence; inputting the text feature representation sequence into an encoder including N encoding layers; the N encoding layers including an encoding layer Ei and an encoding layer Ei+1; the encoding layer Ei+1 including a first multi-head self-attention network; acquiring a first attention matrix and a historical text encoded sequence outputted by the encoding layer Ei, and generating a second attention matrix of the encoding layer Ei+1 according to residual connection between the first attention matrix and the first multi-head self-attention network and the historical text encoded sequence; and generating a target text encoded sequence of the encoding layer Ei+1 according to the second attention matrix and the historical text encoded sequence, and generating synthesized speech data matched with the text input sequence based on the target text encoded sequence.
