Comparisons among Four Statistics Based Methods of Prosody Structure Prediction

چکیده
Prosody structure prediction plays an important role in text-tospeech (TTS) conversion systems. It is the must and prior step to parametric prosody prediction. Dynamic programming (DP) and decision tree (DT) are widely used for prosody structure prediction [1][2][3] but with well-known limitations. In this paper, two other new methods, combination of dynamic programming with decision tree and combination of decision tree with finite state machine (FSM), are proposed. Then, based on a manually labeled corpus, comprehensive comparisons among the four methods are done. It could be concluded from these experiments that combination of dynamic programming with decision tree method is the best choice for prosody word boundary prediction and combination of decision tree with FSM is the best candidate for prosody phrase boundary prediction.

A comparison of different network based modeling methods for prediction of the torque of a SI engine equipped with variable valve timing
Nowadays, due to increasing the complexity of IC engines, calibration task becomes more severe and the need to use surrogate models for investigating of the engine behavior arises. Accordingly, many black box modeling approaches have been used in this context among which network based models are of the most powerful approaches thanks to their flexible structures. In this paper four network base...

In this paper, we discuss the prediction problem based on censored coherent system lifetime data when the system structure is known and the component lifetime follows the proportional reversed hazard model. Different point and interval predictors based on classical and Bayesian approaches are derived. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the prediction methods used in this paper. Mont...
متن کاملClustering and Feature Prediction for Chinese S
The paper describes a Chinese prosody model based on clustering and feature learning method. As the tonal language, the features of Chinese prosody are analyzed in accordance with the various context information. Focusing on the notion of prosody templates, we confirmed that a F0 pattern can be extracted based on various context parameters for each syllable. Statistic algorithm was used for tem...

متن کاملPhylogenetically enhanced statistical tools for RNA structure prediction
MOTIVATION Methods that predict the structure of molecules by looking for statistical correlation have been quite effective. Unfortunately, these methods often disregard phylogenetic information in the sequences they analyze. Here, we present a number of statistics for RNA molecular-structure prediction. Besides common pair-wise comparisons, we consider a few reasonable statistics for base-trip...
