dc.description.abstract
We describe a Polish prosody modelling module for the Festival
speech synthesis system. The module uses classification and regression
trees for accent type prediction and a linear regression
technique for F0 contour generation for these contours. The
techniques used to attempt to overcome problems with the only
available data are shown. We demonstrate how improvements
were achieved by the use of a modified F0 stylisation, accent
type clustering and language specific features. Results of a formal
perception study show a significant preference for the new
intonation model over the original one.
