Using a pitch-synchronous residual codebook for hybrid HMM/frame selection speech synthesis
This paper proposes a method to improve the quality delivered by statistical parametric speech synthesizers. For this, we use a codebook of pitch-synchronous residual frames, so a...

Line spectral pairs
A minimum generation error (MGE) criterion had been proposed to solve the issues related to maximum likelihood (ML) based HMM training in HMM-based speech synthesis. In this paper...
