摘要翻译：
我们研究了噪声语言特征对基于神经网络的日语语音合成系统性能的影响，该系统使用WaveNet声码器。我们比较了一个在训练和测试集中使用人工校正的语言特征（包括音素和韵律信息）的理想系统与其他几个使用损坏的语言特征的系统。主观和客观的结果都表明，由于训练集和测试集之间的不匹配条件，语言特征尤其是测试集中的语言特征在统计意义上对理想系统的性能有显著的影响。有趣的是，虽然一个话语级别的图灵测试表明，听者很难区分合成语音和自然语音，但它进一步表明，在训练集的语言特征中添加噪声可以部分地减少不匹配的影响，使模型规整化，并帮助系统在测试集的语言特征有噪声时表现得更好。

二级分类：Computation and Language 计算与语言
分类描述：Covers natural language processing. Roughly includes material in ACM Subject Class I.2.7. Note that work on artificial languages (programming languages, logics, formal systems) that does not explicitly address natural-language issues broadly construed (natural-language processing, computational linguistics, speech, text retrieval, etc.) is not appropriate for this area.
涵盖自然语言处理。大致包括ACM科目I.2.7类的材料。请注意，人工语言（编程语言、逻辑学、形式系统）的工作，如果没有明确地解决广义的自然语言问题（自然语言处理、计算语言学、语音、文本检索等），就不适合这个领域。

英文摘要：
We investigated the impact of noisy linguistic features on the performance of a Japanese speech synthesis system based on neural network that uses WaveNet vocoder. We compared an ideal system that uses manually corrected linguistic features including phoneme and prosodic information in training and test sets against a few other systems that use corrupted linguistic features. Both subjective and objective results demonstrate that corrupted linguistic features, especially those in the test set, affected the ideal system's performance significantly in a statistical sense due to a mismatched condition between the training and test sets. Interestingly, while an utterance-level Turing test showed that listeners had a difficult time differentiating synthetic speech from natural speech, it further indicated that adding noise to the linguistic features in the training set can partially reduce the effect of the mismatch, regularize the model, and help the system perform better when linguistic features of the test set are noisy.
