Abstract: Described is a technology by which synthesized speech generated from text is evaluated against a prosody model (trained offline) to determine whether the speech will sound unnatural. If so, the speech is regenerated with modified data. The evaluation and regeneration may be iterative until deemed natural sounding. For example, text is built into a lattice that is then (e.g., Viterbi) searched to find a best path. The sections (e.g., units) of data on the path are evaluated via a prosody model. If the evaluation deems a section to correspond to unnatural prosody, that section is replaced, e.g., by modifying/pruning the lattice and re-performing the search. Replacement may be iterative until all sections pass the evaluation. Unnatural prosody detection may be biased such that during evaluation, unnatural prosody is falsely detected at a higher rate relative to a rate at which unnatural prosody is missed.

Abstract: Described is a technology in which a finite state machine-based method segments original sequential data into high level units. Segments with similar sub-sequences are treated as the same unit. In general, the finite state machine indentifies sub-sequences in the sequential data that have similar tree-like microstructures.

Also described is aggregating sub-sequences of a same unit to produce an access structure corresponding to the unit.
