Toward the realization of dialogue speech synthesis with capability to
control paralinguistic information,
we have proposed the HMM-based speech synthesis based on dialogue
corpus that accompanies with paralinguistic information labels of
abstract dimensions such as pleasantness or arousal.
As methods for controlling paralinguistic information,
context information-based method and adaptive
training/conversion-based method have been proposed so far.
In this report, effectiveness of these methods are compared from the
viewpoints of naturalness and controllability of paralinguistic
information.
The results of subjective evaluation tests by 16 subjects revealed
that the conversion-based method can better control paralinguistic
information than the context information-based method, without
sacrificing naturalness. |
