| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | A new research strategy based on a recently proposed morphing algorithm, time varying multi-aspect N-way speech morphing algorithm, is applied to investigate evaluation and control of speech (voice) ``attractiveness.'' The new algorithm generates a morphed speech using arbitrarily many numbers of speech samples in a one staged procedure. The morphing rates in this formulation can be manipulated independently using a time series for each of five physical parameters and, in addition, can have negative values. In the current report, a set of representative utterances of spoken sentences having different ``attractiveness'' were selected to generate a set of stimulus continuum using the morphing procedure. Preliminary tests indicated that morphing of physical parameter actually morphs ``attractiveness'' in a monotonic way. Using independent control of physical attributes, morphed speech stimuli which are corresponding to vertices of a five dimensional hyper cube in the attribute space were generated. They were evaluated their ``attractiveness'' by subjective tests of paired comparison to investigate contributions of each physical attribute. Finally, exploratory research using speech neutralization and caricaturization, which were made feasible by the new algorithm, discussed as a prospective direction of further study. | |
