When software projects evolve their actual implementation and their intended architecture may drift apart resulting in problems for further maintenance. As a countermeasure it is g...
A new method is proposed to jointly estimate the shape parameter of a glottal model and its time position in a voiced segment. We show that, the idea of phase flatness (or phase ...
This paper focuses on confidence scores for use in acoustic model adaptation. Frame-based confidence estimates are used in linear transform (CMLLR and MLLR) and MAP adaptation. ...
Abstract. We propose a novel method for addressing the model selection problem in the context of kernel methods. In contrast to existing methods which rely on hold-out testing or t...
The transformation of the voiced segments of a speech recording has many applications such as expressivity synthesis or voice conversion. This paper addresses the pitch transposit...
