Punctuation generation inspired linguistic features for mandarin prosodic boundary prediction
2012
2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
A novel statistical linguistic feature, called punctuation confidence, is proposed in this paper for assisting in prosodic break prediction in Mandarin text-to-speech. The punctuation confidence calculated from the input text is a measure of the likelihood of inserting a major PM at a word boundary. Since a punctuation in text tends to be pronounced as a break, the punctuation confidence associated with a punctuation estimate should provide useful information for break prediction from text. The
