Abstract. In parametric Markov Decision Processes (PMDPs), transition probabilities are not fixed, but are given as functions over a set of parameters. A PMDP denotes a family of ...
A fast and exact procedure for the numerical synthesis of stationary multivariate Gaussian time series with a priori prescribed and well controlled autoand cross-covariance functi...
A method is described for synthesizing asynchronous circuits based on the Handshake Circuit paradigm but employing a data-driven, rather than a control-driven, style. This approach...

The speech parameter generation algorithm considering global variance (GV) for HMM-based speech synthesis proved to be effective against the over-smoothing problem. However, the c...
One problem in concatenative speech synthesis is how to incorporate prosodic factors in the unit selection. Imposing a predicted prosodic target is error-prone and does not benefi...
