Abstract. Given an image, digital matting consists in extracting a foreground element from the background. Standard methods are initialized with a trimap, a partition of the image ...
In many applications of natural language processing it is necessary to determine the likelihood of a given word combination. For example, a speech recognizer may need to determine...
Neural fields are an interesting option for modelling macroscopic parts of the cortex involving several populations of neurons, like cortical areas. Two classes of neural field equ...
This paper proposes a new framework of speech synthesis based on the Bayesian approach. The Bayesian method is a statistical technique for estimating reliable predictive distribut...
