This paper presents a stochastic model of intonation contours for use in text-to-speech s. The model has two modules, a linguistic module that generates abstract prosodic rom text...
Abstract. The prosodic specification of an utterance to be spoken by a Textto-Speech synthesis system can be devised in break indices, pitch accents and boundary tones. In particu...
We introduce a facial animation system that produces real-time animation sequences including speech synchronization and non-verbal speech-related facial expressions from plain tex...
The paper analyzes both acoustic and linguistic features with different Chinese prosodic boundaries. Then a rule-learning approach was used to do the prosodic boundary labelling. ...
