abstract = {This work presents an approach for parameter estimation and prediction
of the Fujisaki model for Argentine Spanish. Language hypotheses were proposed
for estimation and tested by means of genetic algorithms. These hypotheses
were validated by comparison of the estimation performance relative to the standard
method. Prediction was then calculated based on input text information and
performed by CARTs reached a performance comparable to approximations presented
for Japanese and English. Objective measures showed that the predicted F0
contours are not close copies of the originals, nevertheless perceptual judgments
revealed an impression of good quality for the intonation which makes the method
a valuable tool for the development of TTS systems.},
