Structural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai Expressive Speech
Problem statement: Appropriate modeling of fundamental Frequency (F0) contour for speech is a key factor to preserve the quality of speech prosody. One successful approach has been conducted for tonal language of Mandarin Chinese. It is based on the assumption that the behavioral characteristics of vocal-fold elongation in vibration could be approximated by those of a simple forced vibrating sy...
متن کاملStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency contour for Thai Tones
Problem statement: In Thai, tone is an essential feature of a prosodic syllable to identify the meanings of that syllable or that part of word. To generate the tonal speech with natural prosody, it is needed to manage the fundamental frequency (F0) of the speech appropriately. A successful approach of structural modeling from Mandarin Chinese has been adapted to model Thai tone. Approach: The s...
متن کاملModeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour of Thai Expressive Speech using Fujisaki’s Model and Structural Model
Problem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody effects on not only the naturalness but also the intelligibility of speech. Focusing on synthesis of Thai expressive speech, a number of systems has been developed for years. However, the expressive speech with various speaking styles has not been accomplishe...
متن کاملSpeaker-independent HMM-based voice conversion using quantized fundamental frequency
This paper proposes a segment-based voice conversion technique between arbitrary speakers with a small amount of training data. In the proposed technique, an input speech utterance of source speaker is decoded into phonetic and prosodic symbol sequences, and then the converted speech is generated from the pre-trained target speaker’s HMM using the decoded information. To reduce the required amo...
متن کاملFundamental Frequency Contour Reshaping in HMM-based Speech Synthesis and Realization of Prosodic Focus Using Generation Process Model
Frame-by-frame representation is not appropriate for prosodic features, which are tightly related to speech units spreading a wide time span, such as words, phrases and so on. This causes an inherit problem in fundamental frequency (F0) contour generation by HMM-based speech synthesis. Our formerlydeveloped method, which modify generated F0 contours in the framework of the generation process mo...
