We investigate techniques for acoustic modeling in automatic recognition of context-independent phoneme strings from the TIMIT database. The baseline phoneme recognizer is based on...
Abstract. After the years of hesitation the conservative Slovak telecommunication market seems to become conscious of the need of voice driven services. In the last year, all the t...
Abstract. A formal prosody model is proposed together with its application in a text-to-speech system. The model is based on a generative of abstract prosodic functionally involved...
In this paper a speaker adaptation methodology is proposed, which first automatically determines a number of speaker clusters in the training material, then estimates the paramete...
This paper presents a new unit selection process for Very Low Bit Rate speech encoding around 500 bits/sec. The encoding is based on speech recognition and speech synthesis technol...
In this paper we report on the acquisition and content of a new database intended for developing audio-visual speech recognition systems. This database supports a speaker dependen...
This paper describes experiments in automatic recognition of context-independent phoneme strings from meeting data using audiovisual features. Visual features are known to improve ...
