This paper presents a new approach to speech synthesis in which a set of cross-word decision-tree state-clustered context-dependent hidden Markov models are used to define a set o...
A major factor which causes a deterioration in speech quality in HMM-based speech synthesis is the use of a simple delta pulse signal to generate the excitation of voiced speech. ...
In this paper, we propose a novel area of research referred to as singing information processing. To shape the concept of this area, we first introduce singing understanding syst...
Despite a large research effort, software distributed shared memory systems have not been widely used to run parallel applications across clusters of computers. The higher perform...
Limitations in scope but also difficulties with the efficiency and scalability of present algorithms seem to have so far limited the industrial uptake of existing automated FMEA t...
