    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Farrús, Mireia; Wanner, Leo (International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), 2017)
    This paper presents a demonstration of a stochastic prosody tool for enrichment of synthesized speech using SSML prosody tags applied over hierarchical thematicity spans in the context of a CTS application. The motivation ...
  • An automatic prosody tagger for spontaneous speech
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Farrús, Mireia; Wanner, Leo (COLING, 2016)

  • Praat on the Web: an upgrade of Praat for semi-automatic speech annotation
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Latorre, Iván; Farrús, Mireia; Codina Filbà, Joan; Wanner, Leo (COLING, 2016)
    This paper presents an implementation of the widely used speech analysis tool Praat as a web application with an extended functionality for feature annotation. In particular, Praat on the Web addresses some of the central ...
  • PyToBI: a toolkit for ToBI labeling under Python
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Rohrer, Patrick Louis; Soler Company, Juan (International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), 2019)
    PyToBI is introduced as a user-friendly toolkit for the automatic annotation of intonation contours using the Tones and Breaks Indexes convention, known as ToBI.
  • The Information structure-prosody interface revisited
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Farrús, Mireia; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Wanner, Leo (ISCA, 2014)
    Several grammar theories relate information structure and prosody, highlighting a major correspondence between theme and rheme, and intonation patterns. Although these theories have been successfully exploited in some ...
  • The Information structure-prosody interface: on the role of hierarchical thematicity in an empirically-grounded model
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2017-11-24)
    This dissertation presents an empirical study on the information structure– prosody interface based on: (i) a formal description of hierarchical thematicity within a systematic language model for natural language generation ...
  • The Information structure–prosody interface in text-to-speech technologies: an empirical perspective
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Farrús, Mireia; Wanner, Leo (De Gruyter, 2021)
    The correspondence between the communicative intention of a speaker in terms of Information Structure and the way this speaker reflects communicative aspects by means of prosody have been a fruitful field of study in ...
