Microsoft’s AI generates voices that sing in Chinese and English
Researchers at Zhejiang University and Microsoft claim they’ve developed an AI system — DeepSinger — that can generate singing voices in multiple languages by training on data from music websites. In a prepint paper they describe the novel approach, which leverages a specially-designed component to capture the timbre of singers from noisy singing data.
