Prosody Is Not Identity: A Speaker Anonymization Approach Using Prosody Cloning
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2023 Prosody is closely linked to the identity of a speaker, leading to individual pitch and intonation patterns. Therefore, it is challenging in speaker anonymization to generate speech utterances that both keep the original audio’s main prosodic structure ...

Fully-Hierarchical Fine-Grained Prosody Modeling For Interpretable Speech Synthesis [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 This paper proposes a hierarchical, fine-grained and interpretable latent variable model for prosody based on the Tacotron 2 text-to-speech model. It achieves multi-resolution modeling of prosody by conditioning finer level representations on coarser ...

Generating Diverse and Natural Text-to-Speech Samples Using a Quantized Fine-Grained VAE and Autoregressive Prosody Prior [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 Recent neural text-to-speech (TTS) models with fine-grained latent features enable precise control of the prosody of synthesized speech. Such models typically incorporate a fine-grained variational autoencoder (VAE) structure, extracting latent features ...

CopyCat: Many-to-Many Fine-Grained Prosody Transfer for Neural Text-to-Speech [PDF]
Interspeech, 2020 Prosody Transfer (PT) is a technique that aims to use the prosody from a source audio as a reference while synthesising speech. Fine-grained PT aims at capturing prosodic aspects like rhythm, emphasis, melody, duration, and loudness, from a source audio ...

Mark my words: tone of voice changes affective word representations in memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The present study explored the effect of speaker prosody on the representation of words in memory. To this end, participants were presented with a series of words and asked to remember the words for a subsequent recognition test. During study, words were

Hierarchical Prosody Modeling for Non-Autoregressive Speech Synthesis [PDF]
Spoken Language Technology Workshop, 2020 Prosody modeling is an essential component in modern text-to-speech (TTS) frameworks. By explicitly providing prosody features to the TTS model, the style of synthesized utterances can thus be controlled.

La Bretagne linguistique, 1993 How do the language and its accentuation adapt to the constraints of the melody? Which of these two elements takes precedence in the development of a song? The aim of musical prosody is to highlight the relationship between the accentuation of the lyrics and the melody.

“Textual Prosody” Can Change Impressions of Reading in People With Normal Hearing and Hearing Loss
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Recently, dynamic text presentation, such as scrolling text, has been widely used. Texts are often presented at constant timing and speed in conventional dynamic text presentation.

Camp: A Two-Stage Approach to Modelling Prosody in Context [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 Prosody is an integral part of communication, but remains an open problem in state-of-the-art speech synthesis. There are two major issues faced when modelling prosody: (1) prosody varies at a slower rate compared with other content in the acoustic ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 How listeners handle prosodic cues of linguistic and paralinguistic origin is a central question for spoken communication. In the present EEG study, we addressed this question by examining neural responses to variations in pitch accent (linguistic) and ...
