Prosody modeling with soft templates
This paper describes a novel prosody generation model. We intend it to broadly support many linguistic theories and multiple languages, for the model imposes no restriction on accent categories and shapes. This capability is crucial to the next generation of text-to-speech systems that will need to synthesize intonation variations for different speech acts, emotions, and styles of speech. The s...
متن کاملImplications of Prosody Modeling for Prosody Recognition
This paper introduces Stem-ML, which is a model of the prosody generation process with an associated description language, and suggests how it may help prosody recognition. We applied Stem-ML modeling to three topics: the modeling of prosodic strengths, intonation types, and noun phrase patterns. Stem-ML parameters derived from )&* contours may have a more consistent relationship with prosodic ...
متن کاملExploring goodness of prosody by diverse matching templates
In automatic speech grading systems, rare research is followed through addressing the issue of GOR (Goodness Of pRosody). In this paper we propose a novel method by taking the advantage of our QBH (Query By Humming) techniques in 2008 MIREX evaluation task. A set of standard samples related to the top-cream students are initially picked up as templates, a cascade QBH structure is then taken fro...
متن کاملPlant leaves as templates for soft lithography
We report a simple fast, practical and effective method for the replication of the complex venation patterns of natural leaves into PDMSwith accuracy down to a lateral size of 500 nm. Optimising the amount of crosslinker enabled the replication and sealing of the microvascular structures to yield enclosed microfluidic networks. The use of plant leaves as templates for soft lithography was demon...
متن کاملPlastic masters-rigid templates for soft lithography.
We demonstrate a simple process for the fabrication of rigid plastic master molds for soft lithography directly from (poly)dimethysiloxane devices. Plastics masters (PMs) provide a cost-effective alternative to silicon-based masters and can be easily replicated without the need for cleanroom facilities. We have successfully demonstrated the use of plastics micromolding to generate both single a...
