About

I am a 2nd-year Master student at Saruwatari & Saito Lab., Graduate school of Information Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo, Japan. My research focuses on the domain of speech and language processing such as speech synthesis, voice conversion, and para/non-linguistic information modeling. I am especially interested in modeling and generating expressive prosody. Also, through it, I aim to the development of human-friendly speech agents that can adaptively and naturally communicate with a variety of people.

東京大学 大学院情報理工学系研究科 システム情報学専攻第一研究室 修士2年の山内一輝です． 音声合成，音声変換．パラ言語/非言語的情報のモデリングなど，音声言語情報処理の領域を中心に研究しています． その中でも特に，表現力豊かな韻律のモデリングと生成に興味を持っています． また，それを通して，様々な人と適応的かつ自然にコミュニケーションができる，ヒューマンフレンドリーな音声エージェントの開発を目指しています．
