| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | This paper proposes a technique for automatically estimating accent phrase boundaries for text-to-speech synthesis systems. To construct speech synthesis systems, we need to prepare a database that has annotations of prosodic information including accents. However, manual annotation for this purpose generally requires costly process. In contrast, the proposed method utilizes conditional random field (CRF) for the language models of accent phrase boundary and accent type, and uses hidden markov model (HMM) for the acoustic feature model. In this paper, we confirmed that the proposed method improved the estimation accuracy for reading-style speech data compared with conventional method. | |
