One problem in concatenative speech synthesis is how to incorporate prosodic factors in the unit selection. Imposing a predicted prosodic target is error-prone and does not benefi...

We describe recent progress in the field of prosodic modeling for speaker verification. In a previous paper, we proposed a technique for modeling syllable-based prosodic feature...

A crucial step in processing speech audio data for information extraction, topic detection, or browsing/playback is to segment the input into sentence and topic units. Speech segm...

In this paper, we propose a new approach for extracting and representing prosodic features directly from the speech signal. We hypothesize that prosody is linked to linguistic uni...

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...
