Farooq | فاروق<p>After my <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/wake_word_detection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wake_word_detection</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> has delievered fruits, I have plans to continue works in the voice domain. I would love if I could train a <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/TTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TTS</span></a> model which has <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/British" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>British</span></a> accent so I would use it to practice.</p><p>I was wondering if I could do the inference on <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/A311D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>A311D</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/NPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NPU</span></a>. However, as I am skimming papers of different models, having inference on A311D with reasonable performance seems unlikely. Even training of these models on my entry level <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/IntelArc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IntelArc</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/GPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPU</span></a> would be painful.</p><p>Maybe I could just finetune an already existing models. I am also thinking about using <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/GeneticProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneticProgramming</span></a> for some components of these TTS models to see if there will be better inference performance.</p><p>There are <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/FastSpeech2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FastSpeech2</span></a> and <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/SpeedySpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpeedySpeech</span></a> which look promising. I wonder how much natural their accents will be. But they would be good starting points.</p><p>BTW, if anyone needs opensource models, I would love to work as a freelancer and have an <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> job. Even if someone can just provide access to computation resources, that would be good.</p><p><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/forhire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>forhire</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/opensourcejob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensourcejob</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/job" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>job</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/hiring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hiring</span></a></p><p><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/VoiceAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VoiceAI</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/opensourceai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensourceai</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/ml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ml</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/speechrecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>speechrecognition</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/speechsynthesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>speechsynthesis</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/texttospeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>texttospeech</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/machinelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machinelearning</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/artificialintelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>artificialintelligence</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/getfedihired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>getfedihired</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/FediHire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediHire</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/hireme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hireme</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/wakeworddetection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wakeworddetection</span></a></p>
