This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
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 preliminary work on building a system able to synthesize concurrently the speech signal and a 3D animation of the speaker's face. This is done by concaten...
This paper describes our work on developing corpora of three varieties of Viennese for unit selection speech synthesis. The synthetic voices for Viennese varieties, implemented wi...

This paper introduces a new optimization technique for moving segment labels (phone and subphonetic) to optimize statistical parametric speech synthesis models. The choice of obje...
