  • Autoregressive clustering for HMM speech synthesis 

    Shannon, SM; Byrne, William Joseph (ISCA (International Speech Communication Association)Proceedings of the 11th Annual Conference of the International Speech CommunicationProceedings of the 11th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication, 2011)
    The autoregressive HMM has been shown to provide efficient parameter estimation and high-quality synthesis, but in previous experiments decision trees derived from a non-autoregressive system were used. In this paper we ...

  • Autoregressive HMMs for speech synthesis 

    Shannon, SM; Byrne, William Joseph (ISCA (International Speech Communication Association), 2009)
    We propose the autoregressive HMM for speech synthesis. We show that the autoregressive HMM supports efficient EM parameter estimation and that we can use established effective synthesis techniques such as synthesis ...
