Unit selection synthesis inventories have coverage issues, which lead to missing syllable or diphone units. In the conventional back-off strategy of substituting the missing unit ...
This paper presents a new take on how argument dependencies in natural language are established and constrained. The paper starts with a rather standard view that (quantificationa...
Global parametrization of surfaces requires singularities (cones) to keep distortion minimal. We describe a method for finding cone locations and angles and an algorithm for glob...
