| dc.description.abstract | A complete intonation model based on quantitative target approximation
is described for Yor`ub´a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis.
This model is evaluated analytically and perceptually
and compared to a fundamental frequency (F0) model using
the standard HTS implementation. Analytical results suggest
that the proposed approach more efficiently models F0 contours
given typical data constraints in under-resourced environments
and perceptual results comparing the proposed model with HTS
are encouraging. | en_US |
