A Comprehensive Model of Intonation for Application in Speech Technology
This paper presents a new method of the stylization of intonation contours, which is the first step towards developing an intonation model for application in Polish unit selection speech synthesis. The paper starts with an overview of the existing F0 stylization algorithms underlying various intonation models followed by an overview of descriptions of Polish intonation. Then the assumptions beh...
متن کاملStudy on Unit-Selection and Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis Techniques
One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...
متن کاملEstimation of the parameters of the quantitative intonation model with continuous wavelet analysis
Intonation generation in state-of-the-art speech synthesis requires the analysis of a large amount of data. Therefore reliable algorithms for the extraction of the parameters of an intonation model from a given F0 contour are required. This contribution proposes improvements concerning the extraction of the parameters of the quantitative intonation model developed by Fujisaki. The improvements ...
متن کاملA Study on Detection of Intonation Events of Assamese Speech Required for Tilt Model
This paper has done a study and experimental analysis on different intonation events of Assamese speech. Assamese is a North East Indian language and spoken by lacks of people in India. The researchers need intonation model to identify language specific intonation events, which are necessary for synthesis process of that particular language. The paper shows outcomes of some experiments done wit...
متن کاملTowards intonation control in unit selection speech synthesis
We propose to control intonation in unit selection speech synthesis with a mixed CART-HMM intonation model. The Finite State Machine (FSM) formulation is suited to incorporate the intonation model in the unit selection framework because it allows for combination of models with different unit types and handling competing intonative variants. Subjective experiments have been carried out to compar...
