Text analysis tools are nowadays required to process increasingly large corpora which are often organized as small files (abstracts, news articles, etc). Cloud computing offers a ...
In this paper, we propose an F0 Frame Error (FFE) metric which combines Gross Pitch Error (GPE) and Voicing Decision Error (VDE) to objectively evaluate the performance of fundame...
This paper describes Pairwise Bisection: a nonparametric approach to optimizing a noisy function with few function evaluations. The algorithm uses nonparametric reasoning about si...
Our research aims at developing a system that paraphrases written language text to spoken language style. In such a system, it is important to distinguish between appropriate and i...
