Artificial Voices in Human Choices – Deep Learning for Speech Synthesis with Emotional Tone

Voice assistants are becoming more and more popular. Today, most available voice assistants still talk with non-emotional tone. However, recent press announcements and patents of big IT companies indicate that this is about to change.

For example, could a voice assistant with an exciting tone make consumers impulsively buy products they hadn’t planned to buy before? In this talk, Carolin and Rene presented a new deep learning model which synthesizes speech with emotional tone requiring only a small amount of voice recordings and they showed how the emotional tone of a voice assistant affects consumer’s behavior in a shopping experiment.
