Current speech synthesis technology is difficult to understand in everyday noise situations. Although there is a significant body of work on how humans modify their speech in nois...
The EC-funded project DICIT developed distant-talking interfaces for interactive TV. The final DICIT prototype system processes multimodal user input by speech and remote control....
One of the biggest challenges in emotional speech resynthesis is the selection of modification parameters that will make humans perceive a targeted emotion. The best selection me...
The organization of a computational control model of articulatory speech synthesis is outlined in this paper. The model is based on general principles of neurophysiology and cognit...
This paper presents a novel method for training hidden Markov models (HMMs) for use in HMM-based speech synthesis. The primary goal of HMM parameter optimization is to ensure that...
