In many settings we may wish to learn dynamics at multiple timescales. For example, in the context of speech analysis, we may wish to model both the dynamics within individual phonemes as well as the dynamics across phonemes [68, 18]. In the context of modeling behavior, motion [51], or handwriting [67], it is natural to decompose movements into steps, while still modeling the statistics of the...

This study describes the tree-based modeling of prosodic phrasing, pause duration between phrases and segmental duration for Korean TTS systems. We collected 400 sentences from various genres and built a corresponding speech corpus uttered by a professional female announcer. The phonemic and prosodic boundaries were manually marked on the recorded speech, and morphological analysis, grapheme-to...

Nowadays, many supermarkets implement a customer tier program to increase their profits because it is expected raise customers' willingness purchase by setting thresholds. However, designing an appropriate difficult each customer's heterogeneous behavior capture. Therefore, we simultaneously modeled frequency and amount through marked point process approach while considering effects characteris...
