This paper describes the design and evaluation of prosodically-sensitive concatenative units for a Korean text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system. The diphones used are prosodically...
Active learning (AL) is a framework that attempts to reduce the cost of annotating training material for statistical learning methods. While a lot of papers have been presented on...
Grammar induction, also known as grammar inference, is one of the most important research areas in the domain of natural language processing. Availability of large corpora has enc...
In this paper, we propose a neural network model for predicting the durations of syllables. A four layer feedforward neural network trained with backpropagation algorithm is used ...
A novel speaker-adaptive learning algorithm is developed and evaluated for a hidden trajectory model of speech coarticulation and reduction. Central to this model is the process o...
