In recent years, rapid advances in speech technology have been made possible by machine
learning challenges such as CHiME, REVERB, Blizzard, and Hurricane. In the Clarity …

Code-switching, the alternation of languages within a conversation or utterance, is a
common communicative phenomenon that occurs in multilingual communities across the …

In this paper, we present a new objective prediction model for synthetic speech naturalness.
It can be used to evaluate Text-To-Speech or Voice Conversion systems and works …

Building text-to-speech (TTS) synthesisers is a difficult task, especially for low resource
languages. Language-specific modules need to be developed for system building. End-to …

The world of statistical parametric speech synthesis continues to improve with recent
investigations of different machine learning techniques to better model spectrum, F0 and …

Codemixing-phenomenon where lexical items from one language are embedded in the
utterance of another-is relatively frequent in multilingual communities. However, TTS …

Abstract Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems convert text into phonetic pronunciations which are
then processed by Acoustic Models. TTS frontends typically include text processing, lexical …

Most Indians are inherently bilingual or multilingual owing to the diverse linguistic culture in
India. As a result, code-switching is quite common in conversational speech. The objective …

Subjective evaluation is a crucial problem in the speech processing community and
especially for the speech synthesis field, no matter what system is used. Indeed, when trying …

Code Mixing-phenomenon where lexical items from one language are embedded in the
