Unit selection for speech synthesis using splicing costs with weighted finite state transducers

In this paper we describe how unit selection for concatenative speech synthesis can be implemented efficiently for sub-phonetic units using weighted finite state transducers (WFST). We also introduce splicing costs as a measure to indicate which unit boundaries are particularly good or poor joint points. Splicing costs extend the flexibility offered by the unit selection paradigm. Through a per...

Efficient integrated response generation from multiple targets using weighted finite state transducers

In this paper, we describe how language generation and speech synthesis for spoken dialog systems can be efficiently integrated under a weighted finite state transducer architecture. Taking advantage of this efficiency, we show that introducing flexible targets in generation leads to more natural sounding synthesis. Specifically, we allow multiple wordings of the response and multiple prosodic ...

Learning with Weighted Transducers

Weighted finite-state transducers have been used successfully in a variety of natural language processing applications, including speech recognition, speech synthesis, and machine translation. This paper shows how weighted transducers can be combined with existing learning algorithms to form powerful techniques for sequence learning problems.

Multilingual syllabification using weighted finite-state transducers

This paper describes an approach to syllabification that has been incorporated into the English and German text-to-speech systems at Bell Labs. Implemented as a weighted finite-state transducer, the syllabifier is easily integrated – via mathematical composition – into the finite-state based text analysis component of the textto-speech system. The weights are based on frequencies of onset, nucl...

Weighted Grammar Tools: the Grm Library

We describe the algorithmic and software design principles of a general grammar library designed for use in spoken-dialogue systems, speech synthesis, and other speech processing applications. The library is a set of general-purpose software tools for constructing and modifying weighted finite-state acceptors and transducers representing grammars. The tools can be used in particular to compile ...
