Table 5 presents the recognition rates for the six target voices, for nonadapted, adapted to singing, and adapted to target voice systems.
Goals In accordance with the Millennium Development Goals, the Global Malaria Action Plan GMAPP) from Roll Back Malaria, the goals contained in the outcome document of the UN Special Session on Children: "A World Fit for Children," A Promise Renewed and the universal coverage goal targets voiced by the UN Secretary General in 2008, UNICEF aims to help ensure that: How does UNICEF Help?
With STRAIGHT, we used converted spectra, F0, and source aperiodic components for synthesizing the target voice.
Our proposed framework, as shown in Fig. 6, transforms both the excitation and the filter features from the source voice to the target voice.
Then, we used these MCC features of the source and target voice as the input-layer data and output-layer data for DBNs.
The adaptation to singing was carried out in a one-pass global step, using all the singing material from except the target voice.
CTT is grounded in motor learning theory, focused on training target voice goals in spontaneous, conversational speech in the first session and throughout.
The best individuals for each frame compose a Klatt input file which is synthesized and outputs a synthetic voice file that aims at mimicking the target voice (steps 3 to 6).
To obtain the same number of frames, a dynamic time warping method is used to align the extracted features (spectrum and F0) of the source voice and target voice.
As described in Section 2, we extracted the spectral features and F0 features from both the source voice and target voice by the STRAIGHT, and then used DTW to align them.
