HQSYN16

We continued our research on automatic (objective) evaluation of synthetic speech. We showed that for two voices under consideration the ANOVA-based artifact detection, and GMM-based artifact localization and classification yield results comparable to the those obtained by subjective listening tests when a special care is given to feature preparation and/or to the determination of region of interest. As similar results were obtained for age and gender classification in Czech and Slovak, the proposed approach should work for other voices too.
