We address the problem of synthesizing narrow-focus word-stress in TTS by controlling the different prosodic features, namely, duration, F0 and intensity profiles. Towards this, we perform a prosody modification of a neutral carrier sentence to create narrow-focus stress on specific target words, by controlling the three prosodic features at word-level and syllable-level. The specific control of the...
We address the problem of estimation of the Fujisaki model parameters for F0 synthesis. For this, we propose the use of a very efficient search and optimization method termed the ‘direct-search’ (Hooke and Jeeves, 1961) which belongs to the class of derivative-free unconstrained optimization methods, in the sense that it is applicable for non-linear optimization problems which are not amenable for...
We propose a framework for phonetically-conditioned prosody generation for TTS which has two phases: first, in an off-line phase, it learns the phonetic-to-prosodic mapping underlying a target prosody database in an unsupervised manner using a ‘segmental K-means’ algorithm; secondly, for a given input text, it uses a segmental unit-selection framework to select appropriate prosodic-profiles from the...
In this report, we present a systematic design and implementation of the Smart Console for vehicles which makes use of fingerprint for the purpose of vehicle ignition. The system includes on board hardware construction through digital display with a speedometer (Speed indicated in kmph), odometer (Distance covered in km). It also includes light intensity control for headlight using LDR and timer circuits...
