Speech parameter generation algorithms for HMM-based speech synthesis
This paper derives a speech parameter generation algorithm for HMM-based speech synthesis, in which speech parameter sequence is generated from HMMs whose observation vector consists of spectral parameter vector and its dynamic feature vectors. In the algorithm, we assume that the state sequence (state and mixture sequence for the multi-mixture case) or a part of the state sequence is unobserva...
متن کاملLocal minimum generation error criterion for hybrid HMM speech synthesis
This paper presents an HMM-driven hybrid speech synthesis approach in which unit selection concatenative synthesis is used to improve the quality of the statistical system using a Local Minimum Generation Error (LMGE) during the synthesis stage. The idea behind this approach is to combine the robustness due to HMMs with the naturalness of concatenated units. Unlike the conventional hybrid appro...
متن کاملSpeech parameter generation algorithm considering global variance for HMM-based speech synthesis
This paper describes a novel parameter generation algorithm for the HMM-based speech synthesis. The conventional algorithm generates a trajectory of static features that maximizes an output probability of a parameter sequence consisting of the static and dynamic features from HMMs under an actual constraint between the two features. The generated trajectory is often excessively smoothed due to ...
متن کاملA speech parameter generation algorithm using local variance for HMM-based speech synthesis
This paper proposes a parameter generation algorithm using local variance (LV) constraint of spectral parameter trajectory for HMM-based speech synthesis. In the parameter generation process, we take account of both the HMM likelihood of speech feature vectors and a likelihood for LVs. To model LV precisely, we use dynamic features of LV with context-dependent HMMs. The objective experimental r...
متن کاملAn improved minimum generation error based model adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis
Aminimum generation error (MGE) criterion had been proposed for model training in HMM-based speech synthesis. In this paper, we apply the MGE criterion to model adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis, and introduce an MGE linear regression (MGELR) based model adaptation algorithm, where the regression matrices used to transform source models are optimized so as to minimize the generation err...
