Modelling Basque Intonation Using Fujisaki’s Model and Carts
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an analysis of the intonation for the Basque language. Based on Fujisaki’s model, parameters for a set of about 300 sentences have been manually and automatically calculated and used to train a set of regression trees. Results show that the model is valid for Basque.

Basque intonation modelling for text to speech conversion
The present paper presents the modeling of standard Basque intonation to be used in text to speech conversion systems. The parameterization process of the Basque f0 curves made according to Fujisaki’s intonation model is explained: experiments made in the placing of the phrase commands of the model are described and the results of these experiments are analyzed. The statistical analysis of the ...
متن کاملSubjective Evaluation of Synthetic Intonation
This paper describes a method for evaluating the quality of synthetic intonation using subjective techniques. This perceptual method of assessing intonation, not only evaluates the quality of synthetic intonation, but also allows us to compare different models of intonation to know which one is the most natural from a perceptual point of view. This procedure has been used to assess the quality ...
متن کاملAutomatic Analysis and Synthesis of Fujisaki’s Intonation Model for TTS
This paper deals with the automatic analysis and synthesis of intonation using Fujisaki’s model. We propose an analysis method which imposes strong linguistic constraints. This method produces good representations of the F0 contour when compared to other current methods which do not impose such constrains. Furthermore, this option limits the variability and is more predictable so it is the best...
متن کاملAn Overview of Prosodic Modelling for Croatian Speech Synthesis
In order to include prosody into the text to speech (TTS) systems prosody knowledge needs to be acquired, represented and incorporated. Two main features of prosody important for modelling prosody for TTS systems are duration and F0 contour. There are various approaches to modelling those features and they can be categorized into three main groups: rule based, statistical and minimalistic. Some...
متن کاملJoint extraction and prediction of fujisaki's intonation model parameters
This paper presents a joint extraction and prediction framework for intonation modeling applied to Fujisaki’s intonation model for text-to-speech conversion. Previous methods in the area extract the parameters of accent and phrase commands for each sentence. Then, these parameters are related to linguistic features for prediction. In our approach commands that share the same linguistic features...
