20100286986 | Methods and Apparatus for Rapid Acoustic Unit Selection From a Large Speech Corpus - A speech synthesis system can select recorded speech fragments, or acoustic units, from a very large database of acoustic units to produce artificial speech. The selected acoustic units are chosen to minimize a combination of target and concatenation costs for a given sentence. However, as concatenation costs, which are measures of the mismatch between sequential pairs of acoustic units, are expensive to compute, processing can be greatly reduced by pre-computing and aching the concatenation costs. Unfortunately, the number of possible sequential pairs of acoustic units makes such caching prohibitive. However, statistical experiments reveal that while about 85% of the acoustic units are typically used in common speech, less than 1% of the possible sequential pairs of acoustic units occur in practice. A method for constructing an efficient concatenation cost database is provided by synthesizing a large body of speech, identifying the acoustic unit sequential pairs generated and their respective concatenation costs, and storing those concatenation costs likely to occur. By constructing a concatenation cost database in this fraction, the processing power required at run-time is greatly reduced with negligible effect on speech quality. | 11-11-2010 |

20120296648 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE N-BEST STRINGS - Systems and methods for identifying the N-best strings of a weighted automaton. A potential for each state of an input automaton to a set of destination states of the input automaton is first determined. Then, the N-best paths are found in the result of an on-the-fly determinization of the input automaton. Only the portion of the input automaton needed to identify the N-best paths is determinized. As the input automaton is determinized, a potential for each new state of the partially determinized automaton is determined and is used in identifying the N-best paths of the determinized automaton, which correspond exactly to the N-best strings of the input automaton. | 11-22-2012 |

The system then synthesizes speech, identifies the acoustic unit sequential pairs generated and their respective concatenation costs, and stores those concatenation costs likely to occur. | 11-06-2014 |
