| Abstract(in English) | This paper describes the statistical method for predicting, from the input text, phrase boundary tone labels which shows more varieties in expressive speech than in reading speech. This method uses both lexical information and phrase boundary locations obtained by the language analyzer in conventional reading style text-to-speech synthesizers. Accordingly, obtained models reflect both domain and speaker specific speaking styles. Through the experiments, we confirmed that our model uses simple and a few features to achieve the same or higher correlation coefficients with correct answer labels (Cohen's kappa) than the conventional classification tree based method. |
