                   which participants build voices from a common dataset.
                   A large listening test is conducted which allows
                   comparison of systems in terms of naturalness and
                   intelligibility. New sections were added to the
                   listening test for 2007 to test the perceived
                   similarity of the speaker's identity between natural
                   and synthetic speech. In this paper, we present the
                   results of the listening test and the subsequent
                   statistical analysis. },

abstract = {The Blizzard Challenge 2008 was the fourth annual
Blizzard Challenge. This year, participants were asked
to build two voices from a UK English corpus and one
voice from a Man- darin Chinese corpus. This is the
first time that a language other than English has been
included and also the first time that a large UK
English corpus has been available. In addi- tion, the
English corpus contained somewhat more expressive
speech than that found in corpora used in previous
Blizzard Challenges. To assist participants with
limited resources or limited ex- perience in
UK-accented English or Mandarin, unaligned la- bels
were provided for both corpora and for the test
sentences. Participants could use the provided labels
or create their own. An accent-specific pronunciation
dictionary was also available for the English speaker.
A set of test sentences was released to participants,
who were given a limited time in which to synthesise
them and submit the synthetic speech. An online
listening test was con- ducted, to evaluate
naturalness, intelligibility and degree of similarity
to the original speaker.},

@article{mayo:clark:king:10,

  title = {Listeners' Weighting of Acoustic Cues to Synthetic
                   Speech Naturalness: A Multidimensional Scaling Analysis},
  journal = {Speech Communication},
  volume = {53},
  number = {3},
  pages = {311--326},
  abstract = {The quality of current commercial speech synthesis
                   systems is now so high that system improvements are
                   being made at subtle sub- and supra-segmental levels.
                   Human perceptual evaluation of such subtle improvements
                   requires a highly sophisticated level of perceptual
                   attention to specific acoustic characteristics or cues.
                   However, it is not well understood what acoustic cues
                   listeners attend to by default when asked to evaluate
                   synthetic speech. It may, therefore, be potentially
                   quite difficult to design an evaluation method that
                   allows listeners to concentrate on only one dimension
                   of the signal, while ignoring others that are
                   perceptually more important to them. The aim of the
                   current study was to determine which acoustic
                   characteristics of unit-selection synthetic speech are
                   most salient to listeners when evaluating the
                   naturalness of such speech. This study made use of
                   multidimensional scaling techniques to analyse
                   listeners' pairwise comparisons of synthetic speech
                   sentences. Results indicate that listeners place a
                   great deal of perceptual importance on the presence of
                   artifacts and discontinuities in the speech, somewhat
                   less importance on aspects of segmental quality, and
                   very little importance on stress/intonation
                   appropriateness. These relative differences in
                   importance will impact on listeners' ability to attend
                   to these different acoustic characteristics of
                   synthetic speech, and should therefore be taken into
                   account when designing appropriate methods of synthetic
                   speech evaluation.},
