This paper outlines the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology / Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (NICT/ATR) research activities in developing a spoken language translation system, specially for translating Indonesian spoken utterances into/from Japanese or English. Since the NICT/ATR Japanese-English speech translation system is an established...
We propose an approach to modeling Chinese tonal patterns, focusing on the basic fundamental frequency (F0) patterns characterized by the contextual linguistic features that can be directly extracted from text. We analyze tonal patterns as sparse target points (tonal F0 peaks and valleys) and represent them in parametric form within the framework of a functional F0 model. The relationships between...
Chinese is a tonal language. It has both lexical tones and intonation. The fundamental frequency (F0) contours thereby consist of tone and intonation components. This paper presents an approach to modeling the two components in separate ways and combining them to form the final F0 contours based on a functional F0 model. We analyze tonal patterns as sparse target points (tonal F0 peaks and valleys)...
