This paper proposes a technique for speaker and language adaptive training for HMM-based polyglot speech synthesis. Language-specific context-dependencies in the system are captur...
In this paper we evaluate a method for generating synthetic speech at high speaking rates based on the interpolation of hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) trained on speech data re...
