Although word-level prosody modeling in neural text-to-speech (TTS) has been investigated
in recent research for diverse speech synthesis, it is still challenging to control speech …

Serious design of digital games is aiming at impact. Humans players may be affected by
experiences in virtual worlds. Game designers anticipate potential experiences …

The aim of this research is to segment spontaneous speech using an unsupervised learning
technique. We are especially interested from a machine perception or detection point-of …

Studies of digital games bridge the gap from game design and technology to the impact of
play, thus, being highly interdisciplinary by nature. The scientific discourse is difficult. Pattern …

Several studies use idealized, fluent utterances to comprehend spoken language.
Disfluencies are often regarded to be just a noise in the speech flow. Other works argue that …

This letter is interested in assessing the pros and contras of using an overall continuous
versus a disrupted, not overall defined F0 estimate and compare formal and informal speech …

This paper presents evaluation of energy and duration features in detection of phrase
breaks. The training feature set is developed from evaluation of targeted phrase break in …

Prosodic phrasing is useful to segment lengthy spontaneous speech into smaller meaningful
utterance without analysis of linguistic information. A simpler approach is presented to …

Continuous speech sentences are delivered in several shorter phrasing segments which
can be considered as units of information. The paper proposes a technique to improve …

A simpler approach to identify and classify phrase breaks in prosodic phrasing using energy
patterns and duration is useful in speech segmentation. Prosodic phrasing is useful to …
