Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method for modeling text-to-articulatory movement conversion is provided. In the method, text features are generated for a plurality of texts, wherein the text feature comprises a phoneme. Articulatory features are determined for the plurality of texts from a plurality of audio signals and a plurality of visual signals, wherein the audio signals record speeches of the plurality of texts, the visual signals record three-dimensional images of an articulator when speaking the plurality of texts, and the articulatory features indicate articulatory positions of the articulator in the speeches. A text-to-articulatory movement model is established with the text features as inputs and the articulatory features as outputs.
