Excitation modeling based on waveform interpolation for HMM-based speech synthesis
It is generally known that a well-designed excitation produces high quality signals in hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis systems. This paper proposes a novel techni...

Articulatory Speech Re-synthesis: Profiting from Natural Acoustic Speech Data
The quality of static phones (e.g. vowels, fricatives, nasals, laterals) generated by articulatory speech synthesizers has reached a high level in the last years. Our goal is to ex...
