We introduce a method for learning a mapping between signals, and use this to drive facial animation directly from vocal cues. Instead of depending on heuristic intermediate representations such as phonemes or visemes, the system learns its own representation, which includes dynamical and contextual information. In principle, this allows the system to make optimal use of context to handle ambig...

A new natural coumarin, angepubebisin (1), and a new furan, angepubefurin (2), together with the five known compounds, umbelliferone, angelol B (3), ulopterol (4), peucedanol (5), and scopoletin, were isolated from the roots of Angelica pubescens Maxim. f. biserrata Shan et Yuan. The structures of angepubebisin (1) and known compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods, including IR, UV, ...
