Research on prosody has recently become an important focus in various disciplines,
including Linguistics, Psychology, and Computer Science. This article reviews recent …

In this tutorial we present evidence that, because syntax does not fully predict the way that
spoken utterances are organized, prosody is a significant issue for studies of auditory …

Text to speech (TTS), or speech synthesis, which aims to synthesize intelligible and natural
speech given text, is a hot research topic in speech, language, and machine learning …

In this work, we propose “global style tokens”(GSTs), a bank of embeddings that are jointly
trained within Tacotron, a state-of-the-art end-to-end speech synthesis system. The …

We present an extension to the Tacotron speech synthesis architecture that learns a latent
embedding space of prosody, derived from a reference acoustic representation containing …

This second edition presents a completely revised overview of research on intonational
phonology since the 1970s, including new material on research developments since the mid …

" This book is an absolute necessity for instructors at all levels, as well as an indispensible
reference for researchers. Introducing NLP, computational linguistics, and speech …

Two channels have been distinguished in human interaction: one transmits explicit
messages, which may be about anything or nothing; the other transmits implicit messages …

Tone and Intonation are two types of pitch variation, which are used by speakers of all
languages in order to give shape to utterances. More specifically, tone encodes segments …

We present V-measure, an external entropybased cluster evaluation measure. V-measure
provides an elegant solution to many problems that affect previously defined cluster …
