摘要翻译：
本文提出了一种神经文本到语音(TTS)模型，该模型只需少量的语音样本就能模拟新说话人的语音。我们仅使用一个6秒长的语音样本来演示语音模仿，而没有任何其他信息，如抄本。我们的模型还可以在不对模型进行额外训练的情况下立即进行语音模仿。我们将说话人嵌入网络与TTS模型Tacotron相结合，实现了语音模拟TTS模型。说话人嵌入网络获取新说话人的语音样本并返回说话人嵌入。嵌入目标句子的说话人被馈送到Tacotron,并用新说话人的声音生成语音。结果表明，通过说话人嵌入网络提取的说话人嵌入信息能够反映不同语音中的潜在结构。从我们的模型中生成的语音样本具有与从现有的多说话人TTS模型中生成的语音质量相当的语音质量。

英文摘要：
  We propose a neural text-to-speech (TTS) model that can imitate a new speaker's voice using only a small amount of speech sample. We demonstrate voice imitation using only a 6-seconds long speech sample without any other information such as transcripts. Our model also enables voice imitation instantly without additional training of the model. We implemented the voice imitating TTS model by combining a speaker embedder network with a state-of-the-art TTS model, Tacotron. The speaker embedder network takes a new speaker's speech sample and returns a speaker embedding. The speaker embedding with a target sentence are fed to Tacotron, and speech is generated with the new speaker's voice. We show that the speaker embeddings extracted by the speaker embedder network can represent the latent structure in different voices. The generated speech samples from our model have comparable voice quality to the ones from existing multi-speaker TTS models.
