This paper presents a novel method for training hidden Markov models (HMMs) for use in HMM-based speech synthesis. The primary goal of HMM parameter optimization is to ensure that...
The speech parameter generation algorithm considering global variance (GV) for HMM-based speech synthesis proved to be effective against the over-smoothing problem. However, the c...
Parameter trajectory generation for HMM-based speech synthesis is practically achieved using only fixed-point arithmetic with 32-bit integers. Since processors for embedded devic...
