In this study, we evaluate our proposed methods for enhancing alaryngeal speech based on statistical voice conversion techniques. Voice conversion based on a Gaussian mixture mode...
Harmonic + Noise model (HNM) is a hybrid model of speech with a harmonic component and a noise component. While harmonic part describes efficiently the periodicities in speech si...
Our previous analysis of speaker-adaptive HMM-based speech synthesis methods suggested that there are two possible reasons why average voices can obtain higher subjective scores t...

We propose new algorithms for estimating autoregressive (AR), moving average (MA), and ARMA models in the spectral domain. These algorithms are derived from a maximum likelihood a...
Over the past decade, the notion of multi-modal access to technology has moved from the realms of science fiction to reality. It is not now unthinkable to communicate with a machi...
