Atom decomposition-based intonation modelling
2015
2015 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
Current statistical parametric text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis methods allow production of neutral speech with acceptable quality. However, prosody is often qualified as unsatisfactory and sounding too flat. In this paper, we address intonation modelling for TTS based on physiological aspects of prosody production. A set of gamma distribution shaped atoms is defined and then intonation decomposition is performed using a matching pursuit algorithm. Some preliminary experiments show that this
