The fundamental frequency variation spectrum
Kornel Laskowski, Mattias Heldner, Jens Edlund · 2008
This paper describes a recently introduced vector-valued representation of fundamental frequency variation – the FFV spectrum – which has a number of desirable properties. In particular, it is instantaneous, continuous, distributed, and well-suited to application of standard acoustic modeling techniques. We show what the representation looks like, and how it can be used to model prosodic sequences.
