  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel style modeling method using mutual information(MI) for end-to-end speech synthesis. MI is applied to increase target style information and suppress text information in style embedding by adding MI loss term in objective function. To estimate MI using neural networks, we adopt mutual information neural estimator (MINE). The proposed method was trained using VCTK database and shown to outperform the conventional Tacotron based Global Style Token method in both speech quality and style similarity.
