Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We suggested that pitch pattern modeling method and pitch pattern generation method using multi-space probability distribution, and applied them to speech synthesis. However, these methods didn't use dynamic features on the border of voice/unvoiced segments, in some cases generated pitch patterns contain uncontinuous regions between two voiced segments separated by an unvoiced segment. This paper describes pitch pattern modeling and generation methods using dynamic features on the border of voiced/unvoiced segments.
