We synthesize natural-looking locomotion, reaching and grasping for a virtual character in order to accomplish a wide range of movement and manipulation tasks in real time. Our vi...
We propose an HMM Trajectory Tiling (HTT) approach to high quality TTS, which is our entry to Blizzard Challenge 2010. In HTT, first refined HMM is trained with the Minimum Genera...

Higher quality synthesized speech is required for widespread use of text-to-speech (TTS) technology, and prosodic pattern is the key feature that makes synthetic speech sound unna...
This paper proposes a technique for constructing independent parameter tying structures of mean and variance in HMMbased speech synthesis. Conventionally, mean and variance parame...
In this paper we describe the design and production of Catalan database for building synthetic voices. Two speakers, with 10 hours per speaker, have recorded 10 hours of speech. T...
