Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a speech synthesis frameworkbased on deep Gaussian processes (DGPs). DGP is a Bayesian deep learning modelthat is composed of stacked Gaussian process regression. In our preliminary experiments, DGP-based system yieldedmore natural-sounding synthetic speech than DNN-based one. However, the performance evaluation of DGP had not been done in detail. In this paper, we perform speech synthesis under various experimental conditionswith chainging kernel function and the number of layers, and examine the relationships between acoustic feature distortionsand model architectures.
