Method for generating text script of high efficiency
First Claim
1. A method of generation text script of high efficiency, said method comprising:
- selecting N1 sentences with best integrated efficiency from a source corpus comprised by at least a sentence and resulting N1 sets, wherein each set of said N1 sets comprised by at least a sentence;
repeating procedures for generating text script of high efficiency until satisfying a termination criterion, said procedures comprising;
deleting the sentences in said Ni sets from said source corpus and resulting Ni corpora;
selecting Mi+1 sentences with best integrated efficiency from each of said Ni corpora and resulting Ni+Mi+1 sets; and
selecting Ni+1 sets with best integrated efficiency from said Ni×
Mi+1 sets;
when a termination criterion satisfied, said Ni+1 sets being said text script of high efficiency, otherwise said Ni+1 sets replacing said Ni sets. wherein i meaning an ith procedure, i=1, 2, . . . ;
Ni+1 being a number of said selected sets with best integrated efficiency in said ith procedure;
Mi+1 being a number of said selected sentences with best integrated efficiency from a Ni corpuse;
Mj and Nj being an integer and greater than one, j=1, 2, . . . ; and
said integrated efficiency being decided upon a integrated efficiency function that comprising reciprocals of total unit instances of said Ni corpuses.

Abstract
This proposal presents performance indices and search criteria for the text script generation in the design of corpus-based TTS systems. Based on our criteria a new search method is presented to solve the text selection problem more systematically and efficiently, unlike previous researches either concentrated on covering rate or on hit rate. By control a weighting factor, the covering rate of unit types can be increased to improve the robustness of the TTS system. Finally, the scalable and controllable design of the multi-stage search can produce various kinds of text scripts ideally suitable for the requirement of various kinds of corpus-based TTS systems.
