Application developers utilizing event-based middleware have sought to leverage domain-specific modeling for the advantages of intuitive specification, code synthesis, and suppo...
Improving on recent work on joint source-filter analysis of speech waveforms, we explore improvements to an autoregressive model with exogenous inputs represented by flexible ba...
This paper proposes a technique for constructing independent parameter tying structures of mean and variance in HMMbased speech synthesis. Conventionally, mean and variance parame...
The transformation of the voiced segments of a speech recording has many applications such as expressivity synthesis or voice conversion. This paper addresses the pitch transposit...
In this paper we describe the compression of diphone inventories used by the acoustic synthesis of a concatenative synthesis system. The inventory compression is based on a codebo...
