Generating F0 Contours by Statistical Manipulation of Natural F0 Shapes
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...

Setup for acoustic-visual speech synthesis by concatenating bimodal units
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...

Optimizing segment label boundaries for statistical speech synthesis
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...
