Speaker-adaptive learning of resonance targets in a hidden trajectory model of speech coarticulation
14 years 12 days ago
A novel speaker-adaptive learning algorithm is developed and evaluated for a hidden trajectory model of speech coarticulation and reduction. Central to this model is the process o...
