Automatic labelling of German prosody
One limitation in prosody research is the lack of sufficient prosodically labelled speech data. In this paper, we present research on an automatic labelling system that is able to produce a phonological tonal labelling according to the ToBI like intonation model for German developed by Féry. The system is not totally dependent on the specific language and/or labelling system, as it uses corpus ...
متن کاملM = Syntax + Prosody: A syntactic-prosodic labelling scheme for large spontaneous speech databases
In automatic speech understanding, division of continuous running speech into syntactic chunks is a great problem. Syntactic boundaries are often marked by prosodic means. For the training of statistical models for prosodic boundaries large databases are necessary. For the German Verbmobil (VM) project (automatic speech-to-speech translation), we developed a syntactic±prosodic labelling scheme ...
متن کاملSLAM: Automatic Stylization and Labelling of Speech Melody
This paper presents SLAM : a simple method for the automatic Stylization and LAbelling of speech Melody. This main contributions over existing methods are : the alphabet of melodic contours is fully data-driven, an explicit time-frequency representation is used to derive complex melodic contours, and melodic contours can be determined over arbitrary prosodic/syntactic units. Additionally, the s...
متن کاملAutomatic Prosody Labelling of read Norwegian
In this paper we present initial work on a method for automatic stress and boundary labelling of read EastNorwegian. The context of this work is automatic corpus annotation for unit selection speech synthesis. A phonological model of Norwegian prosody is described. The identification of syllable stress and major intonational boundaries are key prosodic events for building a prosodic description...
متن کاملAutomatic prominence annotation of a German speech synthesis corpus: towards prominence-based prosody generation for unit selection synthesis
This paper describes work directed towards the development of a syllable prominence-based prosody generation functionality for a German unit selection speech synthesis system. A general concept for syllable prominence-based prosody generation in unit selection synthesis is proposed. As a first step towards its implementation, an automated syllable prominence annotation procedure based on acoust...
