Abstract. Glottal inverse filtering is a technique used to derive the glottal waveform during voiced speech. Closed phase inverse filtering (CPIF) is a common approach for achiev...
This paper presents methods for independently modifying the time and pitch scale of acoustic signals, with an emphasis on speech signals. The algorithms developed here use paramet...
In this paper, we describe an experiment to evolve oral tract (mouth) shapes for a set of vowels for two adult males. Target vowels were recorded in an acoustically anechoic room ...

Previously we have proposed different models for estimating articulatory gestures and vocal tract variable (TV) trajectories from synthetic speech. We have shown that when deploye...
