In this paper we revisit some basic configuration choices of HMMbased speech synthesis, such as waveform sampling rate, auditory frequency warping scale and the logarithmic scali...
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 describes a source modeling method for hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis for improved naturalness. A speech corpus is rst decomposed into the glottal sou...

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...

A major factor which causes a deterioration in speech quality in HMM-based speech synthesis is the use of a simple delta pulse signal to generate the excitation of voiced speech. ...
