This paper describes a talker discrimination experiment in which native English listeners were presented with two sentences spoken by bilingual talkers (English/German and English...
In this work, we compare different approaches for speech segmentation, of which some are constrained and the remaining are unconstrained by phone transcript. A high accuracy speec...
In this paper we evaluate a method for generating synthetic speech at high speaking rates based on the interpolation of hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) trained on speech data re...
