Analysis of statistical parametric and unit selection speech synthesis systems applied to emotional speech
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...

Speech denoising using nonnegative matrix factorization with priors
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...
