We present a study on purely data-based recognition of animal sounds, performing evaluation on a real-world database obtained from the Humboldt-University Animal Sound Archive. As...
This paper proposes a technique for constructing independent parameter tying structures of mean and variance in HMMbased speech synthesis. Conventionally, mean and variance parame...
The speech parameter generation algorithm considering global variance (GV) for HMM-based speech synthesis proved to be effective against the over-smoothing problem. However, the c...
In this paper, we present an audio segmentation system for broadcast news, and its results in the Albayzín-2010 evaluation. First of all, the Albayzín-2010 evaluation setup, dev...
The use of speaker adaptation transforms as features for speaker recognition is an appealing alternative to conventional short-term cepstral features. In general, this kind of met...
