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...
We present a new framework based on walks in a graph for analysis and inference in Gaussian graphical models. The key idea is to decompose the correlation between each pair of var...

One of the central problems in cognitive science is determining the mental representations that underlie human inferences. Solutions to this problem often rely on the analysis of ...
—We present a framework for analyzing the shape deformation of structures within the human brain. A mathematical model is developed describing the deformation of any brain struct...

This paper presents a framework for maximum a posteriori (MAP) speaker adaptation of state duration distributions in hidden Markov models (HMM). Four key issues of MAP estimation, ...
