Improved F0 modeling and generation in voice conversion
F0 is an acoustic feature that varies largely from one speaker to another. F0 is characterized by a discontinuity in the transition between voiced and unvoiced sounds that present...

Continuous F0 in the source-excitation generation for HMM-based TTS: Do we need voiced/unvoiced classification?
Most HMM-based TTS systems use a hard voiced/unvoiced classification to produce a discontinuous F0 signal which is used for the generation of the source-excitation. When a mixed ...

Tonal context labeling using quantized F0 symbols for improving tone correctness in average-voice-based speech synthesis
This paper proposes a technique for improving tone correctness in Thai speech synthesis based on an average voice model trained with nonprofessional speech corpus. The proposed te...

Probablistic modelling of F0 in unvoiced regions in HMM based speech synthesis
HMM based synthesis has attracted great interest due to its compact and flexible modelling of spectral and prosodic parameters. In this approach, short term spectra, fundamental ...

Estimation of fundamental frequency from surface electromyographic data: EMG-to-F0
In this paper, we present our recent studies of F0 estimation from the surface electromyographic (EMG) data using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based voice conversion (VC) techni...
