As you may have noticed on the Blizzard Challenge 2017 web site,
there are two distinct parts to the Blizzard Challenge. Teams
may enter either one, or both. The first part of the challenge
follows the standard approach of previous years, and comprises
the single hub task (2017-EH1) which requires teams to build an
end-to-end text-to-speech system. The second part of the
challenge is novel and is designed to be accessible to the wider
machine learning community; it comprises two spoke tasks
(2017-ES1 and 2017-ES2).
See https://synsig.org/index.php/Blizzard_Challenge_2017 for
details.
