Computer graphics as well as related disciplines often benefit from understanding the human visual system and its input. In this paper, we study statistical regularities of both ...
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...
This work presents a new statistical approach to region merging where regions are modeled as arbitrary discrete distributions, directly estimated from the pixel values. Under this...
We describe a methodology for rapid experimentation in statistical machine translation which we use to add a large number of features to a baseline system exploiting features from...
