Title
Using statistical models to predict phrase boundaries for speech synthesis
Abstract
This paper describes a variety of methods for insertingphrase boundaries in text. The methods work by examiningthe likelihood of a phrase break occurring in asequence of three part-of-speech tags. The paper explainsthis basic technique and desribes more sophisticaed variationsusing distance probabilities.1. INTRODUCTIONThe derivation of the prosodic phrase structure of a sentenceis an important part of the text analysis module ofany text-to-speech (TTS) system. The derived prosodic...
