To improve the expressiveness of speech synthesis, the paper proposes a model to simulate the prosody features of exclamatory speech with modal tags. While compared with reading s...
This paper presents a new probabilistic framework of Mandarin speech recognition by incorporating a sophisticated hierarchical prosody model into the conventional HMM-based system...
The paper investigates a new method to solve concatenation problems of Mandarin speech synthesis which is based on the hybrid approach of HMM-based speech synthesis and unit selec...
Higher quality synthesized speech is required for widespread use of text-to-speech (TTS) technology, and prosodic pattern is the key feature that makes synthetic speech sound unna...
