The purpose of this paper is to develop parameter transformation strategies that improve the accuracy of the Variational Bayes (VB) approximation. The idea is to find a transform...
The voice activity detectors (VADs) based on statistical models have shown impressive performances especially when fairly precise statistical models are employed. Moreover, the ac...
Beamformers are spatial filters that pass source signals in particular focused locations while suppressing interference from elsewhere. The widely-used minimum variance adaptive b...
A significant challenge in Text-to-Speech (TtS) synthesis is the formulation of the prosodic structures (phrase breaks, pitch accents, phrase accents and boundary tones) of uttera...
