Abstract
A system includes a processor that is configured to generate audio that imitates cheering of a crowd, analyze generated audio and convert the generated audio into a digital format, and receive, as an input, a prompt for instructing generation of audio data and generate the audio data based on the prompt.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a communication interface coupled to a packet-switched network;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- receive, via the communication interface, request information from a terminal device, the request information comprising a prompt and associated condition information;
- preprocess the prompt by executing natural language processing to convert the prompt into a token sequence and a numerical representation, and supply the token sequence and the numerical representation as generation input data to a generative neural network model;
- execute the generative neural network model to generate, based on the generation input data, an audio signal comprising acoustic waveform data, and acquire the audio signal as digital audio data;
- apply a signal processing algorithm to the digital audio data to analyze at least one of frequency characteristics, sound pressure level, dynamic range, and noise components, and execute at least one of filtering processing, dynamic range compression processing, equalization processing, noise reduction processing, and volume normalization processing to generate processed audio data;
- and
- encode the processed audio data in accordance with a predetermined encoding scheme and transmit, to the terminal device via the packet-switched network, response information comprising the processed audio data and attribute information of the processed audio data.
