  • Abstract
    Automatic prosodic break detection is important for both speech understanding and natural speech synthesis. In this paper, we develop complementary model to detect Mandarin prosodic break by using acoustic, lexical and syntactic evidence. The model realizes the complementarities by taking the advantages of each model. When comparing with the baseline system, our proposed method has good performance.
