This paper presents the perceptual experiments that were carried out in order to validate the methodology of transforming expressive speech styles using voice quality (VoQ) parameters modelling, along ...

HiddenMarkov Models based text-to-speech(HMM-TTS)synthesis is one of the techniques for generating speech from trained statistical models where spectrum and prosody of basic speech units are modelled ...

Las técnicas multimodales de procesamiento de señal están llamadas a jugar un papel preponderante en la implementación de interfaces que faciliten la interacción natural entre los ordenadores y los ...

This paper describes our participation in the INTERSPEECH 2009 Emotion Challenge [1]. Starting from our previous experience in the use of automatic classification for the validation of an expressive ...

This paper presents an HMM-driven hybrid speech synthesis approach in which unit selection concatenative synthesis is used to improve the quality of the statistical system using a Local Minimum Generation ...

Ports and harbours are logistic nodes characterized by noisy operations. Noise pollution analysis iscomplicated, because several types of noise usually can occur in the same area: ferries, cruises, ...

Ports and harbours are logistic nodes characterized by several types of noise, which can usually occur in a concurrent manner in the same harbour premises: ferries, cruises, fishing and trade ships ...
