A portion of the Chinese map showing several major cities surrounding Hefei, where USTC is located. Hefei is approximately one hour away from Nanjing and three hours away from Shanghai by train and the flight time from Hefei to Beijing is only two hours. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Yellow Mountain (or Huangshan) is known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly-shaped granite peaks, pine trees...

The USTC System for Blizzard Challenge 2016

This paper introduces the details of the speech synthesis entry developed by the USTC team for Blizzard Challenge 2016. A 5-hour corpus of highly expressive children’s audiobook was released this year to the participants. An hidden Markov model (HMM)-based unit selection system was built for the task. In addition, we utilized deep neural networks to improve the performance of our system, in bot...

The USTC System for Blizzard Challenge 2012

This paper introduces the speech synthesis system developed by USTC for Blizzard Challenge 2012. An audiobook speech corpus is adopted as the training data for system construction this year. Similar to our previous systems, the hidden Markov model (HMM) based unit selection and waveform concatenation approach is followed to develop our speech synthesis system using this corpus. Considering the ...
