Average-Voice-Based Speech Synthesis
This thesis describes a novel speech synthesis framework " Average-Voice-based Speech Synthesis. " By using the speech synthesis framework, synthetic speech of arbitrary target speakers can be obtained robustly and steadily even if speech samples available for the target speaker are very small. This speech synthesis framework consists of speaker normalization algorithm for the parameter cluster...
متن کاملAcoustic model training based on linear transformation and MAP modification for HSMM-based speech synthesis
This paper describes the use of combined linear regression and expost MAP methods for average-voice-based speech synthesis system based on HMM. To generate more natural sounding speech using the average-voice-based speech synthesis system when a large amount of training data is available, we apply ex-post MAP estimation after the linear transformation based adaptation. We investigate how the am...
متن کاملObjective and subjective feature evaluation for speaker-adaptive visual speech synthesis
This paper describes an evaluation of a feature extraction method for visual speech synthesis that is suitable for speaker-adaptive training of a Hidden Semi-Markov Model (HSMM)-based visual speech synthesizer. An audio-visual corpus from three speakers was recorded. While the features used for the auditory modality are well understood, we propose to use a standard Principal Component Analysis ...
متن کاملModel adaptation and adaptive training using ESAT algorithm for HMM-based speech synthesis
In speaker adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis, model adaptation and adaptive training techniques play key roles. For reducing dependency on an initial model and adapting the model to wide-ranging target speakers, we propose speaker adaptation and adaptive training algorithms based on ESAT algorithm for HMM-based speech synthesis. The ESAT algorithm estimates contributing rate of several ...
متن کاملA style control technique for singing voice synthesis based on multiple-regression HSMM
This paper proposes a technique for controlling singing style in the HMM-based singing voice synthesis. A style control technique based on multiple regression HSMM (MRHSMM), which was originally proposed for the HMM-based expressive speech synthesis, is applied to the conventional technique. The idea of pitch adaptive training is introduced into the MRHSMM to improve the modeling accuracy of fu...
