Bayesian speaker recognition using Gaussian mixture model and laplace approximation
This paper presents a Bayesian approach for Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based speaker identification. Some approaches evaluate the speaker score of a test speech utterance using ...

Context adaptive training with factorized decision trees for HMM-based speech synthesis
To achieve natural high quality synthesised speech in HMMbased speech synthesis, the effective modelling of complex acoustic and linguistic contexts is critical. Traditional appro...

Extractive summarization using a latent variable model
Extractive multi-document summarization is the task of choosing sentences from a set of documents to compose a summary text in response to a user query. We propose a generative ap...

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...

Synthesis of fast speech with interpolation of adapted HSMMs and its evaluation by blind and sighted listeners
In this paper we evaluate a method for generating synthetic speech at high speaking rates based on the interpolation of hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) trained on speech data re...

Incremental word learning using large-margin discriminative training and variance floor estimation
We investigate incremental word learning in a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) framework suitable for human-robot interaction. In interactive learning, the tutoring time is a crucial fac...

A comparative study of constrained and unconstrained approaches for segmentation of speech signal
In this work, we compare different approaches for speech segmentation, of which some are constrained and the remaining are unconstrained by phone transcript. A high accuracy speec...
