We address the problem in signal classification applications, such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems that employ the hidden Markov model (HMM), that it is necessary to...
This paper presents a new approach to speech synthesis in which a set of cross-word decision-tree state-clustered context-dependent hidden Markov models are used to define a set o...
A total corpus-based process of generating prosodic features from text is developed. The process first predicts pauses and phone durations, and then generates F0 contours. Since F...
Facial expression plays an important role in face to face communication in that it conveys nonverbal information and emotional intent beyond speech. In this paper, an approach for ...
