In speaker-adaptive HMM-based speech synthesis, there are a few speakers whose synthetic speech sounds worse than that of other speakers, despite having the same amount of adaptat...

Monaural speech segregation is a very challenging problem which has been studied by many researchers. In this paper, we focus on voiced speech segregation. Different strategies ar...
A major factor which causes a deterioration in speech quality in HMM-based speech synthesis is the use of a simple delta pulse signal to generate the excitation of voiced speech. ...
The speech signal is usually considered as stationary during short analysis time intervals. Though this assumption may be sufficient in some applications, it is not valid for high...
Spectral voice conversion is usually performed using a single model selected in order to represent a tradeoff between goodness of fit and complexity. Recently, we proposed a new ...
