| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | This paper proposes a style control technique of synthetic speech based on multiple regression HSMM (MRHSMM) using facial features. In the proposed technique, styles and their intensities are represented by Animation Unit (AU) parameters and are modeled by an assumption that mean parameters of acoustic models are given as multiple regressions of the AU parameters. Since correlation among AU parameters is problematic in the modeling, we conducted orthogonalization and dimiensionality reduction in advance. When synthesizing speech, we can generated synthetic speech with an intended style by inputting the corresponding facial expression. In this study, we examine the appropriate number of AU parameters and discuss the performance difference depending on the users. | |
