Weekly schedule

Read the assignment “Introduction” and completed all tasks in “Access the compute facility” including: logging in to Eddie; setting up ssh keys; using tmux; using VS Code; copying a file to and from ECDF.

Trained a model on existing ARCTIC data. Booked (and ideally completed) your studio training session. After training, you should book your first recording session, where you will record ARCTIC A only.

Learned how to make recordings. Started your recordings of ARCTIC A. Decided whether to do automatic script selection, or a manual design.

Completed recording of ARCTIC A script.

Selected your limited domain. For automatic script selection, identified a source of text to select from.

Attempted to create a voice from your own ARCTIC A recordings.

Implemented your automatic script design algorithm, or manually created your additional script.

Completed all recordings, including your own additional material.

Listening test design started. Decided on method for implementing the test (e.g., online). Made decision about final set of voices required to test your hypotheses. Started creating those voices.

Listening test designed and implemented. Pilot listening test with one or two listeners completed.

Listening test underway. Continued experimentation to explore design choices.

Optional small follow-on listening test designed. Decided which hypotheses and experiments will feature in your lab report. Selected an evaluation method for each, which will be a listening test in some cases, but not all.

Completed draft write-up.
