October 28th Synthesis Meeting

Actions:​

  • Simplify synthesis server, for ABAIR and user -> one container
  • Containerize LTS to allow local testing.
  • Meeting next week.

All​

  • Meet next week

  • Help John & Simon

John & Simon​

  • Copy Synthesis & LTS VM from ENV and containerize

Meeting Overview:​

  • Goal: Ensure Synthesis Availibility
  • John explains maturity models, from cyber security
  1. Initial
  2. Repeatable
  3. Defined
  4. Managed - At least, monitored, documented - GOAL
  5. Optimised

Idea:​

Partition API between Software/Systems Engineers and model developer (researcher). Gateway API | Load balancing | Service API (Reaseacher)

Current Issue:​

  • model maturity 1.

Synthesis System:​

  1. Written text -> LTS -> returns phonemes.
  2. Phonemes -> config map file -> token IDs (by dialect).
  3. Tokens ID representation of text -> synthesis input.
  4. Synthesis input -> Model -> output

  • NB Added complexity in restarting the server, not as simple as just restarting the container.

    Further thoughts:

  • Separate VM for testing

  • Synthesis: Letter To Sound (LTS, C-based) + normalization (numbers to dates (rules set)) server crashing, not synthesis server (Recent, with dialect changes, but should be much better).
