Building HMM based unit-selection speech synthesis system using synthetic speech naturalness evaluation score
This paper proposes a unit-selection and waveform concatenation speech synthesis system based on synthetic speech naturalness evaluation. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Log Li...

Analysis of statistical parametric and unit selection speech synthesis systems applied to emotional speech
We have applied two state-of-the-art speech synthesis techniques (unit selection and HMM-based synthesis) to the synthesis of emotional speech. A series of carefully designed perc...

Evaluation of objective measures for intelligibility prediction of HMM-based synthetic speech in noise
In this paper we evaluate four objective measures of speech with regards to intelligibility prediction of synthesized speech in diverse noisy situations. We evaluated three intell...

Applying an analysis of acted vocal emotions to improve the simulation of synthetic speech
: All speech produced by humans includes information about the speaker, including conveying the emotional state of the speaker. It is thus desirable to include vocal affect in any ...

The role of higher-level linguistic features in HMM-based speech synthesis
We analyse the contribution of higher-level elements of the linguistic specification of a data-driven speech synthesiser to the naturalness of the synthetic speech which it genera...
