ISCA Speech Synthesis Workshop (SSW)

Papers in all areas of speech synthesis technology are encouraged to be submitted, including but not limited to:

Grapheme-to-phoneme conversion for synthesis
Text processing for speech synthesis (text normalization, syntactic and semantic analysis, intent detection)
Segmental-level and/or concatenative synthesis
Signal processing/statistical model for synthesis
Speech synthesis paradigms and methods; articulatory synthesis, articulation-to-speech synthesis, parametric synthesis etc.
Prosody modeling, transfer and generation
Expression, emotion and personality generation
Voice conversion and modification, morphing (parallel and non-parallel)
Concept-to-speech conversion speech synthesis in dialog systems
Avatars and talking faces
Cross-lingual and multilingual aspects for synthesis (e.g. automatic language switching)
Applications of synthesis technologies to communication disorders
TTS for embedded devices and computational issues
Tools and data for speech synthesis
Quality assessment/evaluation metrics in synthesis
End-to-end text-to-speech synthesis
Direct speech waveform modelling and generation
Neural vocoding for speech synthesis
Speech synthesis using non-ideal data (‘found’, user-contributed, etc.)
Natural language generation for speech synthesis
Special topics:
Incremental processing
Multimodal synthesis of coverbal behaviors
Human in the loop: adaptation (alignment, chamelon effect, etc)
Evaluation issues: beyond MOS
