Document-Level Neural TTS Using Curriculum Learning and Attention Masking
IEEE Access, 2021 Speech synthesis has been developed to the level of natural human-level speech synthesized through an attention-based end-to-end text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) model. However, it is difficult to generate attention when synthesizing a text longer than the

Speech Synthesis With Mixed Emotions
IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing, 2023 Emotional speech synthesis aims to synthesize human voices with various emotional effects. The current studies are mostly focused on imitating an averaged style belonging to a specific emotion type. In this paper, we seek to generate speech with a mixture of emotions at run-time.

Statistical parametric speech synthesis [PDF]
Speech Communication, 2007 This paper gives a general overview of techniques in statistical parametric speech synthesis. One of the instances of these techniques, called HMM-based generation synthesis (or simply HMM-based synthesis), has recently been shown to be very effective in generating acceptable speech synthesis.
