In this insightful episode, host Kylie Whitehead converses with Dr. Ivan Vulić, a Senior Scientist at PolyAI and a Principal Research Associate at the University of Cambridge. They discuss the development and advantages of 'Pheme', a new, more efficient model for voice generation developed by PolyAI. Unlike existing Text-To-Speech (TTS) models, Pheme is designed to generate more conversational and natural sounding speech, which can be tailored to the unique needs of different businesses and used for brand voices. They also touch on the balance between performance and quality in building conversational systems, and the ethical considerations surrounding voice synthesis.
