    • HMM-based Spanish speech synthesis using CBR as F0 estimator 

      Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Alías Pujol, Francesc; Monzo Sánchez, Carlos (2007-05)
      Hidden Markov Models based text-to-speech (HMM-TTS) syn thesis is a technique for generating speech from trained statisti cal models where spectrum, pitch and durations of basic speech units are modelled ...
    • Linguistic and Mixed Excitation Improvements on a HMM-based speech synthesis for Castilian Spanish 

      Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Monzo Sánchez, Carlos; Martínez Marroquín, Elisa (Proceedings of the 6th ISCA Workshop on Speech Synthesis, 2007-08)
      HiddenMarkov Models based text-to-speech(HMM-TTS)synthesis is one of the techniques for generating speech from trained statistical models where spectrum and prosody of basic speech units are modelled ...
    • Local minimum generation error criterion for hybrid HMM speech synthesis 

      Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Gutkin, Alexander; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Taylor, Paul (2009-09)
      This paper presents an HMM-driven hybrid speech synthesis approach in which unit selection concatenative synthesis is used to improve the quality of the statistical system using a Local Minimum Generation ...
    • Un modelo híbrido orientado a la síntesis multimodal del habla 

      Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Alías Pujol, Francesc; Melenchón Maldonado, Javier (Procesamiento del lenguaje natural, No. 29 (2002), 2002)
      En este articulo se presenta un sistema de conversión texto-habla de alta calidad utilizando voz segmentada en difonemas y trifonemas. El sistema de síntesis implementado se basa en un modelo híbrido ...
    • Validation of an acoustical modelling of emotional expression in Spanish using speech synthesis techniques 

      Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Guaus Termens, Roger; Rodríguez, Angel; Lázaro, Patricia; Montoya, Norminanda; Blanco, Josep Maria; Bernadas, Dolors; Oliver, Josep Manel; Tena Parera, Daniel; Longhi, Ludovico (2000-09)
      This paper describes the methodology used for validating the results obtained in a study about acoustical modelling of emotional expression in Castilian Spanish. We have obtained a set of rules that ...
