3D lip shapes from video: A combined physical-statistical model
Tracking human lips in video is an important but notoriously dicult task. To accurately recover their motions in 3D from any head pose is an even more challenging task, though s...

Heteroscedastic discriminant analysis and reduced rank HMMs for improved speech recognition
We present the theory for heteroscedastic discriminant analysis (HDA), a model-based generalization of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) derived in the maximum-likelihood framewo...

A stochastic model of intonation for text-to-speech synthesis
This paper presents a stochastic model of intonation contours for use in text-to-speech s. The model has two modules, a linguistic module that generates abstract prosodic rom text...

Dimensionality reduction of electropalatographic data using latent variable models
We consider the problem of obtaining a reduced dimension representation of electropalatographic (EPG) data. An unsupervised learning approach based on latent variable modelling is...
