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 ...

This paper presents a very low bit-rate F0 coding technique for speaker-dependent phonetic vocoder based on hidden Markov model (HMM) using quantized F0 context. In the proposed t...
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 ...
