Automatic pitch-synchronous phonetic segmentation
This paper deals with an HMM-based automatic phonetic segmentation (APS) system and proposes to increase its performance by employing a pitch-synchronous (PS) coding scheme. Such a coding scheme uses different frames of speech throughout voiced and unvoiced speech regions and enables thus better modelling of each individual phone. The PS coding scheme is shown to outperform the traditionally ut...
متن کاملA fusion approach for automatic speech segmentation of large corpora with application to speech synthesis
This paper deals with the automatic segmentation of large speech corpora in the case when the phonetic sequence corresponding to the speech signal is known. A direct and typical application is corpus-based Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis. We start by proposing a general approach for combining several segmentations produced by different algorithms. Then, we describe and analyse three automatic se...
متن کاملLocal refinement of phonetic boundaries: a general framework and its application using different transition models
In the last few years we have been experimenting with an automatic phonetic segmentation and labeling system based on a modified HMM phonetic recognizer followed by a local phonetic boundary refinement system. During this period we have used different approaches for the local refinement, including fuzzy rules and neural networks. In this paper we present a unified framework for the local refine...
متن کاملAutomatic detection and segmentation of pronunciation variants in German speech corpora
In this paper we present a hybrid statistical and rule-based segmentation system which takes into account phonetic variation of German. Input to the system is the orthographic representation and the speech signal of an utterance to be segmented. The output is the transcription (SAM-PA) with the highest overall likelihood and the corresponding segmentation of the speech signal. The system consis...
متن کاملA hybrid approach to automatic segmentation and labeling for Mandarin Chinese speech corpus
In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach to refine the phonetic boundaries in a Mandarin speech corpus. This approach employs different sets of acoustic features for different categories of phonetic transitions, except for the most difficult case of “periodic voiced + periodic voiced”, which is therefore handled by a heuristic scheme. Several experiments are designed to demonstrate the feasi...
