Popis: One of the most important parts of the synthesis of natural speech is the correct pause placement. Properly placed pauses in speech affect the perception of information. In this article, we consider the method of predicting pause positions for the synthesis of speech. For this purpose, two speech corpora were prepared in the Kazakh language. The input parameters were vector representations of words obtained from the cluster model and from the algorithm of the canonical correlations analysis. The support vector machine was used to predict the pauses within the sentence. Our results show F-1 = 0.781 for pause prediction.
