This paper presents preliminary work on building a system able to synthesize concurrently the speech signal and a 3D animation of the speaker's face. This is done by concaten...
This paper proposes a method to improve the quality delivered by statistical parametric speech synthesizers. For this, we use a codebook of pitch-synchronous residual frames, so a...

To achieve natural high quality synthesised speech in HMMbased speech synthesis, the effective modelling of complex acoustic and linguistic contexts is critical. Traditional appro...
Corpus-based concatenative speech synthesis is very popular these days due to its highly natural speech quality. The amount of computation required in the run time, however, is of...
This paper proposes a new technique for generating three-dimensional speech animation. The proposed technique takes advantage of both data-driven and machine learning approaches. ...
