Probabilistic Modeling of Pitch Contours Toward Prosody Synthesis and Conversioncan potentially be useful for many speech applications such as speech synthesis, speaker identification, speech conversion, and dialogue systems, in which prosodic information plays a significant role. In this chapter, we formulate a statistical model of .. contours by translating the “Fujisaki mode

Communicative Speech Synthesis as Pan-Linguistic Prosody Controling lexical attributes showing their impressions, Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) has revealed that three-dimensional perceptual impression space (positive–negative, confident–doubtful, allowable–unacceptable) nicely correlates to F0 heights and their dynamics. Based on these correlations, a communi

Mandarin Stress Analysis and Prediction for Speech Synthesisd is one important feature in forming the highs and lows of the pitch contour, which makes the speech sounds more expressive. In this chapter, we introduce a largescale stress annotated continuous Mandarin corpus. Then the stress distribution and its stability are thoroughly analyzed from aspects of

Statistical Models for Dealing with Discontinuity of Fundamental Frequency because F0 values are normally considered to depend on a binary voicing decision such that they are continuous in voiced regions and undefined in unvoiced regions. Namely, estimated F0 value is a discontinuous function of time, whose domain is partly continuous and partly discrete. This chapter inv

By handling fundamental frequency contours in the framework of the generation process model, flexible prosody control becomes possible for speech synthesis. The model can be used to s

The small changes due to segmental articulation—consonants and vowels—are different both in their temporal scope and magnitude when compared to word, phrase, and utterance level changes. Words represent perhaps the most important prosodic level in terms o
