Towards automatic parameter extraction of command-response model for Cantonese
نویسندگان
چکیده
Command-response model is one of the quantitative models capable of illustrating the voice fundament frequency (F0) characteristics of different languages. In recent years, the model has been adapted to tone languages including Cantonese. This paper presents an automatic optimization procedure to enhance parameter extraction of command-response model for short phrases of Cantonese. We conduct a parameter extraction test on 128 speech segments produced by three speakers, all of which are modeled by single phrase command in the commandresponse model. The extracted parameters attained accuracy compatible with that obtained from the conventional manual estimation.

A General Approach for Automatic Extraction of Tone Commands in the Command-Response Model for Tone Languages
Although the command-response model for the process of F0 contour generation has been successfully applied to many languages, the inverse problem, viz., automatic derivation of the model parameters from an observed F0 contour, is more challenging, especially for tone languages which have tone commands of both polarities. Since the polarities of tone commands cannot be inferred directly from the...
متن کاملAnalysis of fundamental frequency contours of Cantonese based on a command-response model
As a major Chinese dialect, Cantonese is well known for its complex tone system. This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the F0 contours of Cantonese using a command-response model. Experiments are conducted on a set of designed sentences, from which a set of appropriate tone command patterns for each tone is derived by Analysis-by-Synthesis. The model shows a high accuracy of approximati...
متن کاملAnalysis and Synthesis of Cantonese F0 Contours Based on the Command-response Model
Cantonese is a well-known Chinese dialect with a quite complex tone system. We have applied the command-response model to represent F0 contours of Cantonese speech by defining a set of appropriate tone command patterns. In this paper, the analysis is extended to Cantonese utterances at three different speech rates. By incorporating the effects of tone coarticulation, word accentuation and phras...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of intonation patterns produced by Cantonese speakers with Parkinson's disease: a preliminary study
This preliminary study aimed to apply the command-response model to the analysis of disrupted intonation patterns in speakers with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Three Cantonese PD speakers with mild prosodic impairment participated. The speech stimuli were 36 utterances (questions and statements). Productions were analyzed using the model parameters (base frequency, magnitude and onset time of each...
متن کاملAnalysis of F0 contours of Cantonese utterances based on the command-response model
As a major Chinese dialect, Cantonese is well known for its complex tone system. This paper applies the commandresponse model to represent the F0 contours of Cantonese speech. Analysis-by-Synthesis is conducted on both utterances of carrier sentences and utterances with less constrained structures, from which a set of appropriate tone command patterns is derived. By intrinsically incorporating ...
