Admissible stopping in viterbi beam search for unit selection in concatenative speech synthesis
Corpus-based concatenative speech synthesis is very popular these days due to its highly natural speech quality. The amount of computation required in the run time, however, is of...

Using F0 to constrain the unit selection Viterbi network
The goal of the work described here is to limit the computation needed in unit selection Viterbi search for text-to-speech synthesis. The broader goal is to improve speech quality...

Enhancements of viterbi search for fast unit selection synthesis
The paper describes the optimisation of Viterbi search used in unit selection TTS, since with a large speech corpus necessary to achieve a high level of naturalness, the performan...

Prosodic control of unit-selection speech synthesis: A probabilistic approach
One problem in concatenative speech synthesis is how to incorporate prosodic factors in the unit selection. Imposing a predicted prosodic target is error-prone and does not benefi...
