Evaluation of Synthetic Speech by GMM-Based Continuous Detection of Emotional States
Original language description
The paper describes a system for automatic evaluation of synthetic speech quality based on continuous detection of emotional states throughout the spoken sentence using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classification. The final evaluation decision is made by statistical analysis of the results of emotional class differences between the sentences of original male or female voices and the speech synthesized by various methods with different parameters, approaches to prosody manipulation, etc. The basic experiments confirm the functionality of the developed system producing results comparable with those obtained by the standard listening test method. Additional investigations have shown that a number of mixtures, types of speech features, and a speech database used for creation and training of GMMs have a relatively great influence on continuous emotional style detection and the final quality evaluation of the tested synthetic speech.
