Original Abstract Submitted
A device includes one or more processors configured to process an input audio spectrum of input speech to detect a first characteristic associated with the input speech. The one or more processors are also configured to select, based at least in part on the first characteristic, one or more reference embeddings from among multiple reference embeddings. The one or more processors are further configured to process a representation of source speech, using the one or more reference embeddings, to generate an output audio spectrum of output speech.
