Convolutional Pitch Target Approximation Model for Speech Synthesis
In this paper, we investigate pitch contour modelling in speech synthesis based on segmental units. A convolutional pitch target approximation model is proposed. This model allows jointly stochastic modelling of framewise pitch and pitch contour of longer units, of which the intuitive relations are revealed by a convolutional target approximation filter. The pitch contour is stylized by a linea...
متن کاملPitch target analysis of Thai tones using quantitative target approximation model and unsupervised clustering
This paper presents the integration between the quantitative target approximation (qTA) model and the unsupervised clustering technique to study Thai tones. The qTA model simulates F0 production on the basis of articulation process. Parameters extracted from the F0 of Thai speech by analysisand-synthesis method were further analyzed by K-means clustering. The number and form of pitch target wer...
متن کاملon the relationship between using discourse markers and the quality of expository and argumentative academic writing of iranian english majors
the aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency and the type of discourse markers used in the argumentative and expository writings of iranian efl learners and the differences between these text features in the two essay genres. the study also aimed at examining the influence of the use of discourse markers on the participants’ writing quality. to this end the discourse markers us...
15 صفحه اولAn entropy-based approach for comparing prosodic properties in tonal and pitch accent languages
Our previous work shows strong prosodic characteristics are present in tonal and pitch accent languages leading to better performance in detecting these languages. This study uses an entropy-based approach to analyze prosodic features for effective modeling. 17 tonal or pitch accent languages, including a number of under-resourced languages in Africa, are studied. Prosodic trigrams are rated as...
متن کاملThe Speech-to-Song Illusion Is Reduced in Speakers of Tonal (vs. Non-Tonal) Languages
The speech-to-song illusion has attracted interest as a probe of the perceptual interface between language and music. One might anticipate differential speech-to-song effects in tonal vs. non-tonal languages, since these language classes differ importantly in the linguistic value they assign to tones. Here we addressed this issue for the first time in a cohort of 20 healthy younger adults whose...
