Using stacked transformations for recognizing foreign accented speech
A common problem in speech recognition for foreign accented speech is that there is not enough training data for an accent-specific or a speaker-specific recognizer. Speaker ada...

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...
