EMPHASIS: An Emotional Phoneme-based Acoustic Model for Speech Synthesis System

Understand

We present EMPHASIS, an emotional phoneme-based acoustic model for speech synthesis system.

• EMPHASIS includes a phoneme duration prediction model and an acoustic parameter prediction model.
• It uses a CBHG-based regression network to model the dependencies between linguistic features and acoustic features.
• We modify the input and output layer structures of the network to improve the performance.
