EM-style optimization of hidden conditional random fields for grapheme-to-phoneme conversion
We have recently proposed an EM-style algorithm to optimize log-linear models with hidden variables. In this paper, we use this algorithm to optimize a hidden conditional random ï...

Voice Conversion by Prosody and Vocal Tract Modification
In this paper we proposed some flexible methods, which are useful in the process of voice conversion. The proposed methods modify the shape of the vocal tract system and the chara...
