This paper addresses intonation synthesis combining both statistical and generative models to manipulate fundamental frequency (F0) contours in the framework of HMM-based speech synthesis. An F0 contour is represented as a superposition of micro, accent, and register components at logarithmic scale in light of the Fujisaki model. Three component sets are extracted from a speech...
Human uses intonation to make focal prominence to give emphasis that highlights the focus of speech. Automatic extraction of proper intonation features from a speech corpus is desirous for processing speech prosody, especially in the context of speech synthesis. This paper presents a method to extract pitch register from observed F0 contours for this purpose. The method utilizes a constrained tone...
