| Abstract(in English) | We proposed a new scheme to derive the characteristics of vowels from LSP parameters as well as compress information by using cascaded sand-glass type neural network (nonlinear, 5-layers) (CSNN(NL5)). Here, it was shown that LSP parameters can be restored with well feasibility for practical use of speech synthesis from the compressed LSP parameters. In order to verify their audibility, we performed auditory evaluation of synthesized speech by using artificial parameters on the hidden layer output plane. As a result, we verified the compressed LSP parameters by our scheme have workable quality for speech synthesis. |
