Speech synthesisIn this paper, we present a result of HMM-based speech synthesis system applied to Indonesian expressive speech scorpus. The purpose is to observe speech quality of synthesized speech, conversely. Firstly, we selected expressive Indonesian conversation from movie, novel, and drama ...
HMM-based speech synthesisMaximum entropy modelSoft decision treeSoft context clusteringStatistical parametric speech synthesisThis paper proposes the use of a new binary decision tree, which we call a soft decision tree , to improve generalization performance compared to the conventional 'hard' decision...
This paper presents a minimum unit selection error (MUSE) training method for HMM-based unit selection speech synthesis system, which selects the optimal phone-sized unit sequence from the speech database by maximizing the combined likelihood of a group of trained HMMs. Under MUSE criterion, the...

2. HMM-BASED SPEECH SYNTHESIS SYSTEM 2.1. System overview Ablockdiagramof the HMM-based TTS systemis shown in Fig.1. The system consists of three stages, the training stage, the adapta- tion stage, and the synthesis stage. In the training stage, mel-cepstral coefficients [11] and loga...
In this paper we investigate external phone duration models (PDMs) for improving the quality of synthetic speech in hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis. Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) were used for this task. SVR and MLP PDMs were compared with the...
