Simple methods for improving speaker-similarity of HMM-based speech synthesis
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...

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 ...

Utilizing glottal source pulse library for generating improved excitation signal for HMM-based speech synthesis
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...

Analysis of statistical parametric and unit selection speech synthesis systems applied to emotional speech
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...

HMM-based speech synthesiser using the LF-model of the glottal source
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. ...
