The automated planning community has traditionally focused on the efficient synthesis of plans given a complete domain theory. In the past several years, this line of work met wi...
A new method is proposed to jointly estimate the shape parameter of a glottal model and its time position in a voiced segment. We show that, the idea of phase flatness (or phase ...
To improve the expressiveness of speech synthesis, the paper proposes a model to simulate the prosody features of exclamatory speech with modal tags. While compared with reading s...
We present an initial investigation into the acoustic realisation of tone in continuous utterances in Sepedi (a language in the Southern Bantu family). An analytic model for the g...
This paper presents a new method of extracting LF model based parameters using a spectral model matching approach. Strategies are described for overcoming some of the known diffic...
