{"product_id":"speech-prosody-in-speech-synthesis-keikichi-hirose-9783662452578","title":"Speech Prosody in Speech Synthesis: Modeling and Generation of Prosody for High Quality and Flexible Speech Synthesis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe volume addresses issues concerning prosody generation in speech synthesis, including prosody modeling, how we can convey para- and non-linguistic information in speech synthesis, and prosody control in speech synthesis (including prosody conversions). A high level of quality has already been achieved in speech synthesis by using selection-based methods with segments of human speech. Although the method enables synthetic speech with various voice qualities and speaking styles, it requires large speech corpora with targeted quality and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccordingly, speech conversion techniques are now of growing interest among researchers. HMM\/GMM-based methods are widely used, but entail several major problems when viewed from the prosody perspective; prosodic features cover a wider time span than segmental features and their frame-by-frame processing is not always appropriate. The book offers a good overview of state-of-the-art studies on prosody in speech synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keikichi Hirose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 366245257X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783662452578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Keikichi Hirose","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073680666879,"sku":"9783662452578","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39bdaed6-3489-4b59-a57e-c1b7c8941f16.jpg?v=1685449266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speech-prosody-in-speech-synthesis-keikichi-hirose-9783662452578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
