A technique for harmonic analysis is presented that partitions a piece of music into contiguous regions and labels each with the key, mode, and functional chord, e.g. tonic, domin...
For decades, Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) have been the state-of-the-art technique for acoustic modeling despite their unrealistic independence assumptions and the very limited rep...
Voice conversion has become more and more important in speech technology, but most of current works have to use parallel utterances of both source and target speaker as the traini...
— A solution for the slow convergence of most learning rules for Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) has been proposed under the terms Liquid State Machines (LSM) and Echo State Netw...
