Abstract

Text-to-speech synthesis systems are usually deployed in different environments such as cloud-edge-end devices, which require fast synthesis speed, small memory storage, and low computation cost. However, early neural TTS models usually leverage deep neural networks that are usually with large computation/memory/time costs. In this chapter, we introduce the technologies for model-efficient TTS. We categorize these technologies according to the methods they use as follows: (1) Parallel generation, which can increase the parallelism of the computation and improve the inference (or training) speed. (2) Lightweight modeling, which aims to develop lightweight and efficient models with small model sizes, low computation, and fast inference speed. (3) Efficient modeling with domain knowledge, which designs efficient models by leveraging the domain knowledge of speech.
