Abstract
Statistical parametric speech synthesis is based on the combination of a fully parametric speech representation and a generative statistical framework. The first part of this talk describes the speech production mechanism from a signal processing point of view and provides an introduction to modern vocoding techniques. The second part of this talk addresses vocoding in the context of statistical parametric speech synthesis and discusses modern techniques that alleviate the inherent unnaturalness of the sound produced by those systems.
Series This talk is part of the speech synthesis seminar series series.
