— Ordinal regression is an important type of learning, which has properties of both classification and regression. Here we describe an effective approach to adapt a traditional ...
In this paper, we present a novel technique for modeling the posterior probability estimates obtained from a neural network directly in the HMM framework using the Dirichlet Mixtu...

Neural networks are a useful alternative to Gaussian mixture models for acoustic modeling; however, training multilayer networks involves a difficult, nonconvex optimization that...
In this paper, we propose to use Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for voice conversion. We have exploited the mapping abilities of ANN to perform mapping of spectral features of ...
