This paper presents a novel extension of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs): type-2 fuzzy HMMs (type-2 FHMMs). The advantage of this extension is that it can handle both randomness and f...
The use of large speech corpora in example-based approaches for speech recognition is mainly focused on increasing the number of examples. This strategy presents some difficulties ...
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 ...
In this paper, we propose a novel parts-based binary-valued feature for ASR. This feature is extracted using boosted ensembles of simple threshold-based classifiers. Each such cl...
