Fighting Game Commentator with Pitch and Loudness Adjustment Utilizing Highlight Cues
This paper presents a commentator for providing real-time game commentary in a fighting game. The commentary takes into account highlight cues, obtained by analyzing scenes during gameplay, as input to adjust the pitch and loudness of commentary to be spoken by using a Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. We investigate different designs for pitch and loudness adjustment. The proposed AI consists of two parts: a dynamic adjuster for controlling pitch and loudness of the TTS and a real-time game commentary generator. We conduct a pilot study on a fighting game, and our result shows that by adjusting the loudness significantly according to the level of game highlight, the entertainment of the gameplay can be enhanced.

Developing a spontaneous speech corpus would be beneficial for spoken language processing and understanding. We present a speech corpus named the SMASH corpus, which includes spontaneous speech of two Japanese male comme…
Human Echolocation in Static Situations: Auditory Models of Detection Thresholds for Distance, Pitch, Loudness and Timbre
We investigated, by using auditory models, how three perceptual parameters, loudness, pitch and sharpness, determine human echolocation. We used acoustic recordings from two previous studies, both from stationary situati…
