Quantitative measurement of prosodic strength in Mandarin
We describe models of Mandarin prosody that allow us to make quantitative measurements of prosodic strengths. These models use Stem-ML, which is a phenomenological model of the muscle dynamics and planning process that controls the tension of the vocal folds, and therefore the pitch of speech. Because Stem-ML describes the interactions between nearby tones, we were able to capture surface tonal...
متن کاملUnsupervised Prosodic Break Detection in Mandarin Speech
We propose that, in Mandarin speech, an automatic prosodic break detector can be trained without any prosodically labeled training data. We use only lexical and acoustic cues to create a small labeled training set, then use semi-supervised learning to train a prosodic break detector. A generative mixture model is proposed as the learning algorithm that can learn with both labeled and unlabeled ...
متن کاملProsodic Word Grouping in Mandarin TTS System
This paper reports the methodology and results of prosodic word grouping for a Mandarin TTS system developed by the Fujitsu Laboratories. In view of any inner prosodic word break will make speech unintelligible or unnatural, a new prosodic word grouping framework is proposed. The word segmentation result can be regarded as an initial prosodic word sequence with grids inserted into each word bou...
متن کاملA Quantitative Comparative Study of Prosodic and Discourse Units, the Case of French and Taiwan Mandarin
Studies of spontaneous conversational speech grounded on large and richly annotated corpora are still rare due to the scarcity of such resources. Comparative studies based on such resources are even more rarely found because of the extra-need of comparability in terms of content, genre and speaking style. The present paper presents our efforts for establishing such a dataset for two typological...
متن کاملF0 Contour of Prosodic Word in Happy Speech of Mandarin
This paper focuses on analyzing the F0 contour of happy speech. We designed some declarative sentences and recorded them in happy and neutral expressive states. All of our speakers were asked to express these sentences in the same imaginary scene. It is known that emotion can be expressed through modifying acoustic features of speech in various ways, such as pitch, intensity, voice quality and ...
