“…There are also lexical resources for Croatian that are very useful for various tasks in processing the language, such as the Croatian Morphological Lexicon [30] and hrLex v1.3 [31], which are inflectional lexicons of Croatian. In recent years, resources for processing Croatian at the level of derivative morphology have been published, such as the Croatian Derivative Lexicon-CroDeriv [32] and DerivBase HR [33]. None of these lexicons, however, contain the lexical stress on words, which is a very important feature for the naturalness of synthesized speech and the performance of speech-to-text systems.…”

It is very popular today to integrate voice interfaces into IoT devices. The pronunciation and proper prosody of speech play a major role in the intelligibility and naturalness of synthesized voices. Each language has its own prosodic characteristics. In this paper, we present the results of a study aimed at testing the applicability of methods for modelling and predicting the prosodic features of the Croatian language. The extent to which their performance can be improved by incorporating linguistic features and linguistic peculiarities specific to the Croatian language was investigated. In the model learning process, tree classification was used to predict the lexical stress position and the type of stress in a word, and a lexicon of 1,011,785 word forms was used as the model learning set. Separate models were created for predicting the position and type of lexical stress. The results improved significantly after the rules for atonic words (clitics) were applied. A hybrid approach combining a rule-based approach and a modelling approach was also proposed. The final accuracy of assigning lexical stress using the hybrid approach was 95.3%.
