Optimizing segment label boundaries for statistical speech synthesis
2009
2009 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing
This paper introduces a new optimization technique for moving segment labels (phone and subphonetic) to optimize statistical parametric speech synthesis models. The choice of objective measures is investigated thoroughly and listening tests show the results to significantly improve the quality of the generated speech equivalent to increasing the database size by 3 fold.
