Dominguez M, Farrus M, Wanner L. A Thematicity-based Prosody Enrichment Tool for CTS. Interspeech 2017.

This paper presents a demonstration of a stochastic prosody tool for enrichment of synthesized speech using SSML prosody tags applied over hierarchical thematicity spans in the context of a CTS application. The motivation for using hierarchical thematicity is exemplified, together with the capabilities of the module to generate a variety of prosody control tags within a controlled range of values depending on the input thematicity label.
