Statistical prosodic modeling from corpus design to parameter estimation.

The increasing availability of carefully designed and collected speech corpora opens up new possibilities for the statistical estimation of formal multivariate prosodic models. At Apple Computer, statistical prosodic modeling exploits the Victoria corpus, created to broadly support ongoing speech sy...
