The mean-shift algorithm, based on ideas proposed by Fukunaga and Hostetler (1975), is a hill-climbing algorithm on the density defined by a finite mixture or a kernel density e...
This paper describes a novel approach to voice conversion using both a joint density model and a speaker model. In voice conversion studies, approaches based on Gaussian Mixture M...
In this paper, we present a novel technique for modeling the posterior probability estimates obtained from a neural network directly in the HMM framework using the Dirichlet Mixtu...

Estimating the ratio of two probability density functions (a.k.a. the importance) has recently gathered a great deal of attention since importance estimators can be used for solvi...

We present a multivariate statistical model to represent the human skin color. In our approach, there are no limitations regarding if the person is white or black, once the model ...
