A Flexible Rule Compiler for Speech Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a exible rule compiler developed for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. The compiler converts a set of rules into a nite-state transducer (FST). The input and output of the FST are subject to parameterization, so that the system can be applied to strings and sequences of feature-structures. The resulting transducer is guaranteed to realize a function (as opposed to a relation), and therefore can be implemented as a deterministic device (either a deterministic FST or a bimachine).

Compost: a rule-compiler for speech synthesis
COMPOST is the result of our first reflections on the computing requirements for synthetic speech generation. It combines the basic facilities of a rule-oriented software with object-oriented design. COMPOST is a tree compiler : it manipulates and transforms not only lists of atoms but also trees and subtrees. Basic atoms involved into the tree inherit of properties of user defined classes Feat...
متن کاملA Bimachine Compiler for Ranked Tagging Rules
This paper describes a novel method of compiling ranked tagging rules into a deterministic nite-state device called a bimachine. The rules are formulated in the framework of regular rewrite operations and allow unrestricted regular expressions in both left and right rule contexts. The compiler is illustrated by an application within a speech synthesis system.
متن کاملA Parser-based Text Preprocessor for Romanian Language Tts Synthesis
Text preprocessing plays an important role in a textto-speech (TTS) synthesis system. The correct detection and interpretation of input strings influence the overall system accuracy and contribute to the conversion of an unrestricted text into synthetic speech. This paper describes the design philosophy of a preprocessing module for a TTS system in Romanian language. The preprocessor is impleme...
متن کاملLearning Intonation Rules for Concept - to - Speech Generation . Ph . D . Thesis Proposal
We aim to design and develop a Concept-to-Speech (CTS) generation system, a speech synthesis system producing speech from semantic representations, by integrating language generation with speech synthesis. We focus on five issues (1) how to employ newly available accurate discourse, semantic, and syntactic information produced by a natural language generation system to improve the quality of sy...
متن کاملOn Reductions for Synthesis Procedures
A synthesis procedure acts as a compiler for declarative specifications. It accepts a formula describing a relation between inputs and outputs, and generates a function implementing this relation. This paper presents synthesis procedures for data structures. Our procedures are reductions that lift a synthesis procedure for the elements into synthesis procedures for containers storing these elem...
