Generation of Fundamental Frequency Contours of Mandarin in HMM-based Speech Synthesis using Generation Process Model
The HMM-based speech synthesis system can produce high quality synthetic speech with flexible modeling of spectral and prosodic parameters. In this approach, short term spectra, fundamental frequency (F0) and duration are generated by multi-stream HMMs separately. However the quality of synthetic speech degrades when feature vectors used in training are noisy. Among all noisy features, pitch tr...
متن کاملCorpus-based synthesis of fundamental frequency contours based on a generation process model
A mode-constrained corpus-based synthesis strategy was developed for fundamental frequency (F0) contours of Japanese sentences. In the training phase, the relationship between linguistic factors and the command values (amplitudes and locations) of F0 contour generation process model was learned for a prediction module; a neural network in the current paper. Input parameters consist of linguisti...
متن کاملGeneration of fundamental frequency contours for Mandarin speech synthesis based on tone nucleus model
A new method for generating sentence F0 contours of Mandarin speech is proposed. The method assumes the F0 contour generation process model, but generates the tone and phrase components in different ways and sums them to produce a sentence F0 contour. The tone component is generated concatenating F0 patterns of tone nuclei, which are predicted by a corpus-based scheme (binary decision trees). E...
متن کاملData-Driven Synthesis of Fundamental Frequency Contours for TTS Systems Based on a Generation Process Model
A data-driven method of fundamental frequency (F0) contour synthesis was developed for Japanese text-to-speech (TTS) conversion systems. In the method, synthesis is done using the F0 contour generation process model, and the model parameters for each accent phrase are estimated using statistical methods. Although it was already shown that the synthesized F0 contours sounded highly natural as th...
متن کاملCorpus-based synthesis of fundamental frequency contours of Japanese using automatically-generated prosodic corpus and generation process model
We have been developing corpus-based synthesis of fundamental frequency (F0) contours for Japanese. Since, in our method, the synthesis is done under the constraint of F0 contour generation process model, a rather good quality is still kept even if the prediction process is done poorly. Although it was already shown that the synthesized F0 contours sounded as highly natural as those using heuri...
