Motivated by the large number of vertices that future technologies will put in the front of path-search algorithms, and inspired by highly regular 2D mesh structures that exist in the domain applications, in this paper we propose a new allpairs shortest paths algorithm, for any given regular 2D mesh topology, with complexity O(|V|), where |V| is the number of vertices in the graph. The proposed...

In this paper, several experiments on F0 transformation within the voice conversion framework are presented. The conversion system is based on a probabilistic transformation of line spectral frequencies and residual prediction. Three probabilistic methods of instantaneous F0 transformation are described and compared. Moreover, a new modification of inter-speaker residual prediction is proposed ...

We define two classes of functions, called regular (respectively, first-order) list functions, which manipulate objects such as lists, lists of lists, pairs of lists, lists of pairs of lists, etc. The definition is in the style of regular expressions: the functions are constructed by starting with some basic functions (e.g. projections from pairs, or head and tail operations on lists) and putti...

In Mn(k), k an algebraically closed field, we call a matrix l-regular if each eigenspace is at most l-dimensional. We prove that the variety of commuting pairs in the centralizer of a 2-regular matrix is the direct product of various affine spaces and various determinantal varieties Zl,m obtained from matrices over truncated polynomial rings. We prove that these varieties Zl,m are irreducible, ...

Voice conversion is a process which modifies speech produced by one speaker so that it sounds as if it is uttered by another speaker. In this paper a new voice conversion system is presented. The system requires parallel training data. By using linear prediction analysis, speech is described with line spectral frequencies and the corresponding residua. LSFs are converted together with instantan...

Abstract We extend the so-called Chen–Jiang decompositions for pushforwards of pluricanonical bundles to abelian varieties setting klt pairs. also provide a geometric application this decomposition.
