Noise robustness in HMM-TTS speaker adaptation
Speaker adaptation for TTS applications has been receiving more attention in recent years for applications such as voice customisation or voice banking. If these applications are offered as an Internet service, there is no control on the quality of the data that can be collected. It can be noisy with people talking in the background or recorded in a reverberant environment. This makes the adapt...
متن کاملFrequency Warping for Speaker Adaptation in HMM-based Speech Synthesis
Speaker adaptation in speech synthesis transforms a source utterance to a target utterance that differs from the source in terms of voice characteristics. In this paper, we employ vocal tract length normalization, which is generally used in speech recognition to remove individual speaker characteristics, to speaker adaptation in speech synthesis. We propose a frequency warping approach based on...
متن کاملRestructuring HMM states for speaker adaptation in Mandarin speech recognition
With the tendency of posterior probability taken into account, a state-restructuring method is proposed based on confusions between HMM states. In the method, HMM state is restructured by sharing Gaussian components with its related states and the re-estimation of the increased-parameters, i.e., the inter-state weights, is derived under the EM framework. Experiments are performed on speaker-ind...
متن کاملAn incremental speaker-adaptation technique for hybrid HMM-MLP recognizer
One of the problems of the speaker-independent continuous speech recognition systems is their inability to cope with the inter-speaker variability. When we find test speakers with different characteristics from the ones presented in the training pool we observe a large degradation on the system performance. To overcome this problem speaker-adaptation techniques may be used to provide near speak...
متن کاملCross-lingual Speaker Adaptation for Hmm-based Speech Synthesis
This paper explores a cross-lingual speaker adaptation technique for HMM-based speech synthesis, where a source voice model for English is transformed into a target speaker model using Mandarin Chinese speech data from the target speaker. A phone mappingbased method is adopted to map Chinese Initial/Finals into English phonemes and two types of mapping rules, including one-to-one and one-to-seq...
