Linguistic and Mixed Excitation Improvements on a HMM-based speech synthesis for Castilian Spanish
(6th ISCA Workshop on Speech Synthesis, Bonn, 22-24 of August 2007, 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 ...
Validation of an acoustical modelling of emotional expression in Spanish using speech synthesis techniques
(ITRW on Speech and Emotion, Newcastle, 5-7 of September 2000, 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 ...
GTM-URL Contribution to the INTERSPEECH 2009 Emotion Challenge
(10th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Associations, Brighton, 6-10 of September 2009, 2009-09)
This paper describes our participation in the INTERSPEECH
2009 Emotion Challenge [1]. Starting from our previous
experience in the use of automatic classification for the
validation of an expressive ...
Local minimum generation error criterion for hybrid HMM speech synthesis
(10th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Associations, Brighton, 6-10 of September 2009, 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 ...
La Conversión de Texto en Habla Multidominio: principios y portabilidad
(Universidad de Zaragoza, 2006-11-08)
La conversión de texto en habla (CTH) multidominio per-sigue conseguir una calidad sintética cercana a la de lossistemas de CTH diseñados para un determinado ámbi-to o aplicación, aumentando su flexibilidad ...
Multi-domain Text-to-Speech Synthesis by Automatic Text Classification
(Ninth International Conference on Spoken Language Processing. INTERSPEECH 2006, 2006-09-17)
This paper describes a multi-domain text-to-speech (MD-TTS)synthesis strategy for generating speech among different domainsand so increasing the flexibility of high quality TTS systems. Tothat ...
Multi-domain text classification for unit selectionText-to-Speech synthesis
(15th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS-15), 2003-08-03)
This paper presents a new approach for designing aconcatenative text-to-speech (TTS) system based onmulti-domain unit selection. The method achievesgood synthetic quality with reasonable ...

Este artículo resume la trayectoria del grupo de Tecnologías del Habla de Ingeniería La Salle (Universitat Ramon Llull) en el marco de la investigación y el desarrollo de sistemas de síntesis del habla. ...
Text Classification based on Associative Relational Networks for Multi-Domain Text-to-Speech Synthesis
(The SIGIR Workshop on Directions in Computational Analysis of Stylistics in Text Retrieval, Seattle, August 2006, 2006-08)
This work is a step further in our research towards developing a new strategy for high quality text-to-speech (TTS)
synthesis among different domains. In this context, it is
necessary to select the ...
Evolutionary weight tuning based on diphone pairsfor unit selection speech synthesis
(8th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology. EUROSPEECH 2003 - INTERSPEECH 2003, 2003-09-01)
Unit selection text-to-speech (TTS) conversion is an ongoingresearch for the speech synthesis community. This paper isfocused on tuning the weights involved in the target and con-catenation cost metrics. ...
