We introduce a novel approach to modeling the dynamics of human facial motion induced by the action of speech for the purpose of synthesis. We represent the trajectories of a numbe...
When reconfigurable devices are used in modern embedded systems and their capability to adapt to changing application requirements becomes an issue, comprehensive modeling and de...
The speech parameter generation algorithm considering global variance (GV) for HMM-based speech synthesis proved to be effective against the over-smoothing problem. However, the c...
The latest high-performance IBM PowerPC microprocessor, the POWER5 chip, poses challenges for performance model validation. The current stateof-the-art is to use simple hand-coded...
