Using the segmentation corpus to define an inventory of concatenative units for Cantonese speech synthesis |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The problem of word segmentation affects all aspects of Chinese language processing, including the development of text-to-speech synthesis systems. In synthesizing a Hong Kong Cantonese text, for example, words must be identified in order to model fusion of coda [p] with initial [h], and other similar effects that differentiate word-internal syllable boundaries from syllable edges that begin or end words. Accurate segmentation is necessary also for developing any list of words large enough to identify the word-internal cross-syllable sequences that must be recorded to model such effects using concatenated synthesis units. This paper describes our use of the Segmentation Corpus to constrain such units. |
