Unit selection text-to-speech systems currently produce very natural synthesized phrases by concatenating speech segments from a large database. Recently, increasing demand for de...
Information distillation is the task that aims to extract relevant passages of text from massive volumes of textual and audio sources, given a query. In this paper, we investigate...
The goal of this work was to explore the optimization of the feature extraction module (front-end) parameters to improve bird species recognition. We explored optimizing the spect...
