One of the fundamental building blocks of text processing for textto-speech (TTS) synthesis is the assignment of a part-of-speech (POS) tag to each input word. POS tags are heavil...
When human listeners utter Listener Responses (e.g. back-channels or acknowledgments) such as ‘yeah’ and ‘mmhmm’, interlocutors commonly continue to speak or resume their ...
HMM-based acoustic models built from bootstrap are generally very large, especially when full covariance matrices are used for Gaussians. Therefore, clustering is needed to compac...
