Unsupervised intralingual and cross-lingual speaker adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis using two-pass decision tree construction
(IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, 2010)
Hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis systems possess several advantages over concatenative synthesis systems. One such advantage is the relative ease with which HMM-based systems are adapted to speakers not ...
Unsupervised cross-lingual speaker adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis using two-pass decision tree construction
(Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal ProcessingProceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, 2010)
This paper demonstrates how unsupervised cross-lingual adaptation of HMM-based speech synthesis models may be performed without explicit knowledge of the adaptation data
language. A two-pass decision tree construction ...
Autoregressive clustering for HMM speech synthesis
(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 models for statistical parametric speech synthesis
(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
(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 ...
