Automatic Evaluation of two Intonational Phrasing Algorithms for Dutch

Intonational phrasing is a research topic in both phonological theory and speech synthesis. Both disciplines can benefit from a systematic evaluation and fine tuning of intonational phrasing algorithms. This article presents a method for the evaluation of intonational phrasing algorithms. The method allows for a largely automatic evaluation. A number of advantages of this approach are discussed...
