This paper introduces a new optimization technique for moving segment labels (phone and subphonetic) to optimize statistical parametric speech synthesis models. The choice of obje...
We have applied two state-of-the-art speech synthesis techniques (unit selection and HMM-based synthesis) to the synthesis of emotional speech. A series of carefully designed perc...

We present our current state of development regarding animated agents applicable to affective dialogue systems. A new set of tools are under development to support the creation of...
In this study, we evaluate our proposed methods for enhancing alaryngeal speech based on statistical voice conversion techniques. Voice conversion based on a Gaussian mixture mode...
We present a technique for denoising speech using nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) in combination with statistical speech and noise models. We compare our new technique to s...
