Towards End-to-End Prosody Transfer for Expressive Speech Synthesis with Tacotron [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We present an extension to the Tacotron speech synthesis architecture that learns a latent embedding space of prosody, derived from a reference acoustic representation containing the desired prosody. We show that conditioning Tacotron on this learned embedding space results in synthesized audio that matches the prosody of the reference signal with fine

Vitamin B12 Levels Association with Functional and Structural Biomarkers of Central Nervous System Injury in Older Adults

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
At low levels of B12, specifically when bound to transcobalamin for cellular uptake, evidence of slower conductivity in the brain could point toward impaired myelin. At high levels of B12, specifically when bound to the biologically inert transport protein haptocorrin, biomarkers of neurodegeneration appear in the serum, indicating neuroaxonal injury ...

Towards Fine-Grained Prosody Control for Voice Conversion [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In a typical voice conversion system, prior works utilize various acoustic features (e.g., the pitch, voiced/unvoiced flag, aperiodicity) of the source speech to control the prosody of generated waveform. However, the prosody is related with many factors, such as the intonation, stress and rhythm.

DrawSpeech: Expressive Speech Synthesis Using Prosodic Sketches as Control Conditions [PDF]

arXiv
Controlling text-to-speech (TTS) systems to synthesize speech with the prosodic characteristics expected by users has attracted much attention. To achieve controllability, current studies focus on two main directions: (1) using reference speech as prosody prompt to guide speech synthesis, and (2) using natural language descriptions to control the ...

Numerical simulation of zonal disintegration of surrounding rock in the deep‐buried chamber

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 174-182, December 2022., 2022
Based on the finite difference software FLAC3D, the numerical simulation of cavern surrounding rock under different working conditions was carried out by using Bilinear Strain‐Softening Ubiquitous‐Joint Model (Subi). The effects of buried depth, cohesion and internal friction angle of surrounding rock on the discontinuous deformation are analyzed, and ...

Generalization of Computer Assisted Prosody Training: Quantitative and Qualitative Findings

Language Learning and Technology, 2004
Two experiments investigated the effectiveness of computer-assisted prosody training, its generalization to novel sentences and segmental accuracy, and the relationship between prosodic and lexical information in long-term memory.
