The Minimum Description Length principle for online sequence estimation/prediction in a proper learning setup is studied. If the underlying model class is discrete, then the total...
Correct stress placement is important in text-to-speech systems, in terms of both the overall accuracy and the naturalness of pronunciation. In this paper, we formulate stress ass...
We present a practical scheme for error-resilient digital video broadcasting, using the Wyner-Ziv coding paradigm. We apply the general framework of systematic lossy source-channe...
One of the main problems in developing a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesizer for French lies in grapheme-to-phoneme conversion. Automatic converters produce still too many errors in ...
We consider sequential regression of individual sequences under the square error loss. Using a competitive algorithm framework, we construct a sequential algorithm that can achieve...
