Abstract
We propose an improvement to the centisecond TLHMM model
(Meziane, 1999) applied to the sound duration. Indeed, the
distribution of the sound duration depends on the speaking rate.
An adaptation in a post-processing step is needed. This
adaptation is studied by proposing a model of the speaking rate
based on average syllabic duration. The experiments elaborated on
a set of BDSONS show the interest of this approach.
This work is a continuation of those by Meziane (1999) and
Suaudeau (1994).
