A minimum generation error (MGE) criterion had been proposed to solve the issues related to maximum likelihood (ML) based HMM training in HMM-based speech synthesis. In this paper...
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...
— Line spectral frequencies (LSF) and immittance spectral frequencies (ISF) are widely used in modern speech codecs based on autoregressive model. This paper addresses LSF and IS...
Abstract: The nonlinear conjugate gradient method is widely used in unconstrained optimization. However, the line search is very difficult or expensive sometimes. In this paper, we...
We report a new error-aware monocular visual odometry method that only uses vertical lines, such as vertical edges of buildings and poles in urban areas as landmarks. Since vertic...
