| Abstract(in English) | In the traditional HMM-based speech synthesis, generated speech parameters tend to be excessively over-smoothed. To alleviate this problem, we have proposed a spectral parameter generation method with rich context models and have showed its effectiveness. In this paper, we propose a F0 contour generation method with the rich context models, which are successfully applied to Multi-Space probability Distribution HMM (MSD-HMM) for modeling F0 contour. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed method yields significant improvements in the quality of synthetic speech. |
