چکیده

Whistler Text-to-Speech engine was designed so that we can automatically construct the model parameters from training data. This paper will focus on recent improvements on prosody and acoustic modeling, which are all derived through the use of probabilistic learning methods. Whistler can produce synthetic speech that sounds very natural and resembles the acoustic and prosodic characteristics of the original speaker. The underlying technologies used in Whistler can significantly facilitate the process of creating generic TTS systems for a new language, a new voice, or a new speech style. Whisper TTS engine supports Imaginary Speech API and requires less than 3 MB of working memory.

A Trainable Similarity Measure for Image Classification

In object recognition problems a two-stage system is usually adopted composed of a fast and simple detector and a more complex classifier. This paper studies a design of the second stage classifier based on the recently proposed trainable similarity measure which is specifically designed for supervised classification of images. Common global measures such as correlation suffer from uninformativ...

Subspace Dimension Selection and Averaged Learning Subspace Method in Handwritten Digit Classification

We present recent improvements in using subspace classiiers in recognition of handwritten digits. Both non-trainable CLAFIC and trainable ALSM methods are used with four models for initial selection of subspace dimensions and their further error-driven reenement. The results indicate that these additions to the subspace classiication scheme noticeably reduce the classiication error.
