Our previous analysis of speaker-adaptive HMM-based speech synthesis methods suggested that there are two possible reasons why average voices can obtain higher subjective scores t...

Canonical distributed quantization schemes do not scale to large sensor networks due to the exponential decoder storage complexity that they entail. Prior efforts to tackle this i...
In this paper we present a number of improvements that were recently made to the template based speech recognition system developed at ESAT. Combining these improvements resulted ...

A recent approach to surround sound is to perform exact control of the sound field over a region of space. Here, the driving signals for an array of loudspeakers are chosen to cr...
In this paper, we propose a new vector quantization method to create video thumbnail. In particular, we employ video time density function (VTDF) to explore the temporal character...
