Data-driven extraction of intonation contour classes
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we introduce the first steps towards a new datadriven method for extraction of intonation events that does not require any prerequisite prosodic labelling. Provided with data segmented on the syllable constituent level it derives local and global contour classes by stylisation and subsequent clustering of the stylisation parameter vectors. Local contour classes correspond to pitch movements connected to one or several syllables and determine the local f0 shape. Global classes are connected to intonation phrases and determine the f0 register. Local classes initially are derived for syllabic segments, which are then concatenated incrementally by means of statistical language modelling of co-occurrence patterns. Due to its generality the method is in principal language independent and potentially capable to deal also with other aspects of prosody than intonation.

Linking bottom-up intonation stylization to discourse structure
A new approach for intonation stylization is introduced, that enables the extraction of an intonation representation from prosodically unlabeled data. This approach yields global and local intonation contour classes arising from a contour-based, parametric and superpositional intonation stylization. Based on findings about the linguistic interpretation of the contour classes derived from corpus...
متن کاملAutomatisation of intonation modelling and its linguistic anchoring
This paper presents a fully machine-driven approach for intonation description and its linguistic interpretation. For this purpose, a new intonation model for bottom-up F0 contour analysis and synthesis is introduced, the CoPaSul model which is designed in the tradition of parametric, contour-based, and superpositional approaches. Intonation is represented by a superposition of global and local...
متن کاملCoPaSul Manual - Contour-based parametric and superpositional intonation stylization
The purposes of the CoPaSul toolkit are (1) automatic prosodic annotation and (2) prosodic feature extraction from syllable to utterance level. CoPaSul stands for contour-based, parametric, superpositional intonation stylization. In this framework intonation is represented as a superposition of global and local contours that are described parametrically in terms of polynomial coefficients. On t...
متن کاملPrediction of intonation patterns of accented words in a corpus of read Swedish news through pitch contour stylization
This paper describes an initial attempt at the construction of a data-driven model of Swedish intonation. The study is mainly concerned with model-building and prediction of the intonation patterns of accented words in a corpus of read news in Swedish. Extraction of pitch information is achieved by performing a stylization of the pitch contours. The information is used to build a model for the ...
متن کاملEstimation of the parameters of the quantitative intonation model with continuous wavelet analysis
Intonation generation in state-of-the-art speech synthesis requires the analysis of a large amount of data. Therefore reliable algorithms for the extraction of the parameters of an intonation model from a given F0 contour are required. This contribution proposes improvements concerning the extraction of the parameters of the quantitative intonation model developed by Fujisaki. The improvements ...
