This paper describes the design and evaluation of prosodically-sensitive concatenative units for a Korean text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system. The diphones used are prosodically...
This paper explores the effect that different corpus configurations have on the performance of a coreference resolution system, as measured by MUC, B3, and CEAF. By varying separa...
A critical aspect of semiconductor manufacturing is the design and analysis of material handling and production control polices to optimize fab performance. As wafer sizes have in...
In this paper we examine the effects of noise when creating a real-world weblog corpus for information retrieval. We focus on the DiffPost (Lee et al. 2008) approach to noise remo...
