Event-based interpretation of HMM state sequences for speech analysis
In this paper, we propose a hidden Markov model based approach to capture the effects of core articulatory changes that occur in the speech production mechanism. The changes that are integral to the production of a given sound unit, and must be exercised by all speakers for producing that sound, are considered as events. In this approach, the events are interpreted from a suitable subset of the...
متن کاملAligning letters and phonemes for speech synthesis
A common requirement in speech technology is to align two different symbolic representations of the same linguistic ‘message’. For instance, we often need to align letters of words listed in a dictionary with the corresponding phonemes specifying their pronunciation. As dictionaries become ever bigger, manual alignment becomes less and less tenable yet automatic alignment is a hard problem for ...
متن کاملState-Correlated Duration Model for HMM-Based Speech Synthesis System1
This paper proposes a State-Correlated Duration model for HMM-based speech synthesis system. It uses an improved forward-backward algorithm to estimate the state-duration transition probability between the neighboring states. In the synthesis part, we determine the state duration taking account of the state-duration transition probability. Experiment results show that the speech we synthesized ...
متن کاملHeating Hmm State Densities for Speech Recogniton
Currently, the best performing state-of-art large vocabulary speech recognition systems are statistical pattern classifiers which model sound units using hidden Markov models (HMMs). Given a sequence of data X derived from the speech signal, the classification problem that is solved is that of finding the class c(X) for which the following expression, given by Bayes classification rule, is maxi...
متن کاملHMM training strategy for incremental speech synthesis
Incremental speech synthesis aims at delivering the synthetic voice while the sentence is still being typed. One of the main challenges is the online estimation of the target prosody from a partial knowledge of the sentence’s syntactic structure. In the context of HMM-based speech synthesis, this typically results in missing segmental and suprasegmental features, which describe the linguistic c...
