Abstract. A formal prosody model is proposed together with its application in a text-to-speech system. The model is based on a generative of abstract prosodic functionally involved...
To improve the performance and wellbeing of humans in complex human-computer interaction settings, an interesting challenge for an ambient (or pervasive) agent system is to recogni...
This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
Data sparseness is an ever dominating problem in automatic emotion recognition. Using artificially generated speech for training or adapting models could potentially ease this: t...
