Description
Based on the analysis in #4252, propose an experiment to ensure that the 2nd syllable has higher F0 than the 1st syllable in non-final prosodic words during unit selection.
- Follows Task #4252: Analyze F0 differences in first two syllables of non-final prosodic words added

The experiments led to the improvements of the quality of synthesized samples (based on the results from the listening test) - the experiment & results are described in the paper:
Jůzová, Volín: F0 Post-Stress Rise Trends Consideration in Unit Selection TTS, in Text, Speech and Dialogue, ser. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 11107. Heidelberg: Springer, 2018.
The mentioned paper also includes the combining of this research with the last syllable experiment (to test whether the two experiments do not affect each other negatively).
It is planned to join the F0 experiment with all other promising experiments.
- Status changed from Feedback to Closed
