This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
Fitting statistical models is a widely employed technique for the segmentation of medical images. While this approach gives impressive results for simple structures, shape models a...
Statistical discrimination methods are suitable not only for classification but also for characterisation of differences between a reference group of patterns and the population u...

Active shape model (ASM) statistically represents a shape by a set of well-defined landmark points and models object variations using principal component analysis (PCA). However, ...
As a principled approach to capturing semantic relations of words in information retrieval, statistical translation models have been shown to outperform simple document language m...
