Accurate parameter generation using fixed-point arithmetic for embedded HMM-based speech synthesizers
Parameter trajectory generation for HMM-based speech synthesis is practically achieved using only fixed-point arithmetic with 32-bit integers. Since processors for embedded devic...

Integrating articulatory features using Kullback-Leibler divergence based acoustic model for phoneme recognition
In this paper, we propose a novel framework to integrate articulatory features (AFs) into HMM- based ASR system. This is achieved by using posterior probabilities of different AFs...

Using stacked transformations for recognizing foreign accented speech
A common problem in speech recognition for foreign accented speech is that there is not enough training data for an accent-specific or a speaker-specific recognizer. Speaker ada...
