Intonation modelling using a muscle model and perceptually weighted matching pursuit

Philip Neil Garner, Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

We propose a physiologically based intonation model using perceptual relevance. Motivated by speech synthesis from a speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) point of view, we aim at a language independent way of modelling intonation. The model presented in thi ...
