| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the research is to develop a novel statistical parametric speech synthesis framework based on Gaussian process regression (GPR). We have proposed prosody generation techniques including pitch pattern prediction and phone duration prediction as well as the spectral parameter generation technique based on GPR. We developed a GPR-based speech synthesis system and showed its effectiveness through assessment of synthetic speech quality. Furthermore, we examined the proposed framework for generating expressive speech. We also examined it for generating more natural-sounding prosody in speech synthesis of a tonal language.
