This paper presents a stochastic model of intonation contours for use in text-to-speech s. The model has two modules, a linguistic module that generates abstract prosodic rom text...
Tree based translation models are a compelling means of integrating linguistic information into machine translation. Syntax can inform lexical selection and reordering choices and...
It is generally known that a well-designed excitation produces high quality signals in hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis systems. This paper proposes a novel techni...
