Preserve ordering property of generated LSPS for minimum generation error training in HMM-based speech synthesis
Ordering property is an important property of LSP and closely connected with the naturalness of reconstructed speech. When LSP is adopted as spectrum feature in HMM-based parametr...

Excitation modeling based on waveform interpolation for HMM-based speech synthesis
It is generally known that a well-designed excitation produces high quality signals in hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis systems. This paper proposes a novel techni...
