This module continues the topic of unit selection speech synthesis, and here we add more detail about the target cost. Before starting this module, make sure you have a good general understanding of the motivations behind unit selection speech synthesis, provided in the previous module.

You should also already have a reasonable understanding of:

  • at least one form of regression model that can predict a continuous value given discrete and/or continuous input features: for example, a Regression Tree or a Neural Network
  • how to compare two vectors: for example, Euclidean distance
