Determining the position of breaks in a sentence is a key task for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. We describe some methods for phrase break prediction in which the whole sentence ...
Humans are able to recognise a word before its acoustic realisation is complete. This in contrast to conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, which compute the lik...
The coincidence site lattice (CSL) problem and its generalization to Z-modules in Euclidean 3-space is revisited, and various results and conjectures are proved in a unified way, ...
This experiment assessed the effect of variation in speech rate on comprehension and persuasiveness of a message presented in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis to native and non-nat...
In this paper, we propose a neural network model for predicting the durations of syllables. A four layer feedforward neural network trained with backpropagation algorithm is used ...
