In this paper, a structural maximum a posteriori (SMAP) speaker adaptation approach to adjusting the speaking rate (SR)-dependent hierarchical prosodic model (SR-HPM) of an existing SR-controlled Mandarin text-to-speech system to a new speaker's data for producing a new voice is discussed. Two main issues are addressed. One is the small SR coverage of the adaptation data and is solved by using the...
In this paper, a speaker adaptation method to adapt an existing speaking rate-dependent hierarchical prosodic model (SR-HPM) of an SR-controlled Mandarin TTS system to new speaker's data for realizing a new voice is proposed. Two main problems are addressed: data sparseness for few adaptation utterances existing only in a small range of normal speaking rate and no adaptation data in both ranges of...
In this paper, a hierarchical prosody modeling approach for English speech is proposed. It is an extended version of the HPM approach proposed previously for Mandarin speech. It first designs a syllable-based, statistical prosodic model to describe various relationships of prosodic-acoustic features of the speech signal, linguistic features of the associated text, and prosodic tags representing the...
