In this paper, a probability based method is proposed for the
annotation of Chinese prosodic levels. We investigated the
acoustic correlates (F0 pitches, durations and pauses) of the
prosodic boundaries and tried to annotate the levels of the
boundaries using Gaussian model and Bayesian decision. The
method allows efficient and automatic labeling for the large scale
speech corpus and can be used to instruct the unit selection in
TTS system.
