The paper investigates a new method to solve concatenation problems of Mandarin speech synthesis which is based on the hybrid approach of HMM-based speech synthesis and unit selec...
We consider estimation of the noise spectral variance from speech signals contaminated by highly nonstationary noise sources. In each time frame, for each frequency bin, the noise...
This paper describes a source modeling method for hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis for improved naturalness. A speech corpus is rst decomposed into the glottal sou...
