Accent Conversion (AC) seeks to change the accent of speech from one (source) another (target) while preserving content and speaker identity. However, many existing AC approaches rely on source-target parallel data during training or reference at run-time. We propose a novel conversion framework without need for either speech. Specifically, text-to-speech (TTS) system is first pretrained with t...

an alumina supported co/ni catalyst was prepared by sol-gel procedure to study the catalytic behavior during fischer-tropsch synthesis in a fixed-bed reactor. the effect of co conversion (10-50%) on hydrocarbon product distribution (ch4, c5+ and c2-c4 olefin selectivities) was studied. selectivity for ch4 decreased, while those of c5+ and olefin selectivities increased with increasing co conver...
