A model for the f0 reset in corpus-based intonation approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concatenative intonation systems model the intonation contours as the concatenation of small natural units extracted from suitable contexts. The special characteristics of this type of models make it difficult to include some factors whose effect overcomes the phonic group domain. In this paper one of those factors, the f0 reset related to the sentence internal pauses, is addressed.

Affective Intonation-Modeling for Mandarin Based on PCA
The speech fundamental frequency (henceforth F0) contour plays an important role in expressing the affective information of an utterance. The most popular F0 modeling approaches mainly use the concept of separating the F0 contour into a global trend and local variation. For Mandarin, the global trend of the F0 contour is caused by the speaker’s mood and emotion. In this paper, the authors addre...
متن کاملProsodic Features of Utterances in the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese: Intonation Phrase–based Approach
It is unclear how the prosodic features in long spontaneous speech change. We focused on the F0 declination of an utterance to investigate the F0 transition by taking into consideration the length and syntactic structure of a Japanese utterance. In the case of an utterance without a strong syntactic boundary, the F0 range is fixed to a certain width, and the F0s decline toward the end of the ut...
متن کاملModeling segment intonation for Slovene TTS system
A scheme for modeling the F0 contour for different types of intonation units for the Slovene language is presented. It is based on results of analyzing F0 contours, using a quantitative model. Data from ten speakers was collected, resulting in a large corpora, mainly of declarative sentences. A way of generating the F0 contour for given utterances was defined, using only the text of the utteran...
متن کاملComparing two different principles of parametric F0 modeling
A number of data-based approaches to intonation modeling represent F0 movements using continuous parameters. This is contradictory to most intonation theories, which suggest that intonation can be modeled with a set of distinct phonological entities that are phonetically realized as F0 movements. This principle has rarely been incorporated into data-based intonation modeling. In this study we c...
متن کاملModelling Japanese intonation using PENTAtrainer2
This paper presents results from Japanese intonation modelling using PENTAtrainer2, an articulatory synthesiser. Our first aim is to show that PENTA, on which PENTAtrainer2 is based, can achieve high accuracy in predictive synthesis of varying intonation contours. We trained the synthesiser on a 6251-sentence functionally annotated corpus and generated F0 contours for each communicative conditi...
