We apply independent component analysis (ICA) for extracting an optimal basis to the problem of finding efficient features for a speaker. The basis functions learned by the algori...
The hierarchical nature of Chinese characters has inspired radical-based recognition, but radical segmentation from characters remains a challenge. We previously proposed a radica...
Our previous analysis of speaker-adaptive HMM-based speech synthesis methods suggested that there are two possible reasons why average voices can obtain higher subjective scores t...

Measurement and evaluation of biometric device performance is critical to end users and consumers of these devices. In this paper we present explicit theoretical correlation model...
