Claim 13:
14. An apparatus for generating speech through multilingual neural text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, comprising:
a text input receiving module, for receiving a text input in at least a first language and a target speaker ID;
a speaker latent space information providing module, for providing speaker latent space information of a target speaker in the form of a speaker embedding vector associated with the target speaker ID;
a language latent space information providing module, for providing language latent space information of a second language in the form of a language embedding vector associated with a target language ID;
an acoustic feature predicting module, for generating at least one acoustic feature based on the text input, the speaker latent space information and the language latent space information of the second language; and
a speech waveform generating module, for generating a speech waveform corresponding to the text input based on the at least one acoustic feature and the speaker latent space information.
