A study of statistical models for query translation: finding a good unit of translation
This paper presents a study of three statistical query translation models that use different units of translation. We begin with a review of a word-based translation model that us...

Modelling the prepausal lengthening effect for speech recognition: a dynamic Bayesian network approach
Speech has a property that the speech unit preceding a speech pause tends to lengthen. This work presents the use of a dynamic Bayesian network to model the prepausal lengthening ...

Feature Selection for Improved Phone Duration Modeling of Greek Emotional Speech
In the present work we address the problem of phone duration modeling for the needs of emotional speech synthesis. Specifically, relying on ten well known machine learning techniqu...

Speaker Verification Using Speaker-Specific Prompts
Intra- and inter-speaker information, which include acoustical, speaker style, speech rate and temporal variation, despite their critical importance for the verification of claims...

A hidden Markov-model-based trainable speech synthesizer
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...
