[hts-users:03365] Re: Regarding GV for spectrum

[Kwan Lisa <lisakwan1102@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I thought I was using the GV model of the target speaker. But I am not
sure what kind of GV model I was using.
I found that when I use HMGenS to generate the voice for the speaker
independent(SI) model, my GV setting is:
GVHMMLIST       /home/rex/TTS/grad/TTS2/AST_realign_20speakers_5tone/gv/tiedlist
GVMODELMMF
/home/rex/TTS/grad/TTS2/AST_realign_20speakers_5tone/gv/clustered_all.mmf

When I use HMGenS to generate the voice for the speaker dependent(SD)
model, my GV setting is still:
GVHMMLIST       /home/rex/TTS/grad/TTS2/AST_realign_20speakers_5tone/gv/tiedlist
GVMODELMMF
/home/rex/TTS/grad/TTS2/AST_realign_20speakers_5tone/gv/clustered_all.mmf

According to my logs, it seemed that I didn't train GV model for the
target speaker. So I think the GV model I was using was the one of SI
model.
How should I train a speaker dependent GV model? I thought the GV
model used in the demo script was re-trained using adaptation data.
