چکیده
The generation of a pleasant pitch contour is an important issue for the naturalness of each TTS system. Till now the results are far from being satisfactory. In this paper we present a speakerand task specific approach realized by a neural network. Personal and task specific characteristics are maintained and the demand of gcneralization decreases. So the results in application can signilicantly be improved. I!sing an optimized network structure global and well localized paltems can be covered and trained simultaneously within one network. Correlation analysis of the data base versus the sensitivity of the trained network validates the importance of distinctive paramctcrs in training. Based on this comparison we give a discussion of the generalization properties of the nn trained speaker and task dependency. Finally a variation of the context range helps to find an optimized tuning of the input parameter set.

Although, speech recognition systems are widely used and their accuracies are continuously increased, there is a considerable performance gap between their accuracies and human recognition ability. This is partially due to high speaker variations in speech signal. Deep neural networks are among the best tools for acoustic modeling. Recently, using hybrid deep neural network and hidden Markov mo...
متن کاملTraffic Signal Prediction Using Elman Neural Network and Particle Swarm Optimization
Prediction of traffic is very crucial for its management. Because of human involvement in the generation of this phenomenon, traffic signal is normally accompanied by noise and high levels of non-stationarity. Therefore, traffic signal prediction as one of the important subjects of study has attracted researchers’ interests. In this study, a combinatorial approach is proposed for traffic signal...

Most of existing researches for multi response optimization are based on regression analysis. However, the artificial neural network can be applied for the problem. In this paper, two approaches are proposed by consideration of both methods. In the first approach, regression model of the controllable factors and S/N ratio of each response has been achieved, then a fuzzy programming has been app...
