  • Autoregressive models for statistical parametric speech synthesis 

    Shannon, Matt; Zen, Heiga; Byrne, William Joseph (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), 2013-03)
    We propose using the autoregressive hidden Markov model (HMM) for speech synthesis. The autoregressive HMM uses the same model for parameter estimation and synthesis in a consistent way, in contrast to the standard approach ...

  • The effect of using normalized models in statistical speech synthesis 

    Shannon, Matt; Zen, Heiga; Byrne, William Joseph (ISCA (International Speech Communication Association), 2011-08-27)
    The standard approach to HMM-based speech synthesis is inconsistent in the enforcement of the deterministic constraints between static and dynamic features. The trajectory HMM and autoregressive HMM have been proposed as ...
