情感语音合成——研究现状与发展

Emotional Speech Synthesis:Present Status of and Development in Researches

在语音合成过程中加入情感的效果的研究已经持续了将近20年了。许多原型及试验系统已经在不同的合成技术的基础上建立起来,并且有相当一部分有了相应的研究课题。这篇文章给出了语音合成及情感计算的研究现状,在此基础上介绍了情感语音合成的一些合成方法。随后提出现行的一些新研究方法和研究方向。最后结合作者的研究,提出了新的研究设想。

There has been a decade since people attempt to add emotion effects to synthesised speech. Several prototypes and experimental systems have been built based on different synthesis techniques, and quite a number of studies have been conducted. This paper gives an overall view of speech synthesis and effective computing techniques and the efforts done in emotional speech synthesis, and at the same time, some related techniques are introduced. This paper introduces some new methoies and directions in this researching field.
