本稿では,市販 CD等の歌声と伴奏を含む音楽音 響信号と歌詞の時間的対応付け手法について述べる. つまり,音楽音響信号と対応する歌詞のアラインメン トをとることで,歌詞の各フレーズの開始時刻と終 了時刻を推定する.本手法は,音楽ビデオのテロップ 自動作成や,歌詞を用いた頭出しなどに応用できる. 関連する先行研究として,Wangらが開発した LyricAlly [1]がある.彼らは,歌声の音韻的特徴を考慮 せず,歌詞中の各音素の持続長のみを用いて時間的対 応関係を推定していた.しかし,音素の持続長は楽曲 中の登場位置によって大きく異なるので,正確な対応 付けはできなかった. 本研究では,音声認識で用いられる強制アライン メントに基づき,歌声の音韻的特徴を用いて時間的 対応関係を推定する.しかし,現在の音声認識で用 いられるアラインメント手法は,背景音等を含まな いクリーンな話し声しか対...
