Hierarchical prosody structure generation is an important but challenging component for speech synthesis systems. In this paper, we investigate the use of enhanced embedding (joint learning of character and word embedding (CWE)) features and different model fusion approaches at both character and word level for Mandarin prosodic boundaries prediction. For CWE module, the internal structures of ...

Let (W, S) be a finite Coxeter system and A := Z[0] be the group algebra of a finitely generated free abelian group 0. Let H be an Iwahori-Hecke algebra of (W, S) over A with parameters vs . Further let K be an extension field of the field of fractions of A and KH be the extension of scalars. In this situation Kazhdan and Lusztig have defined their famous basis and the so called left cell modul...

We show that a connected split reductive group G over a field of characteristic 0 is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by specifying a maximal torus T of G , the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible representations of G , and the character homomorphism from the Grothendieck ring of G to that of T .

we investigate buchbaum and eisenbud's construction of the second symmetric power $s_r(x)$ of a chain complex $x$ of modules over a commutative ring $r$. we state and prove a number of results from the folklore of the subject for which we know of no good direct references. we also provide several explicit computations and examples. we use this construction to prove the following ...

A general purpose Japanese character recognition system, Cherry Blossom, has been developed at CEDAR in past years. It is designed to recognize Japanese document images in low resolution or with poor print quality. The system includes modules for page skew correction, document segmentation, text segmentation, character recognition and postprocessing. The API code for each module has been develo...

Let M be a free finitely generated Z-module with basis B and ∆M the kernel of the homomorphism M → Z which maps B to 1. A basis of ∆M can be easily constructed from the basis B of M . Let further R be a submodule of M such that N = M/R is free. The subject of investigation is the module ∆N = (∆M + R)/R. We compute the index [N : ∆N ] and construct bases of ∆N with the help of a basis of N . Fin...

Let W (̟k) be the finite-dimensional irreducible module over a quantized affine algebra U ′ q(g) with the fundamental weight ̟k as an extremal weight. We show that its crystal B(W (̟k)) is isomorphic to the Demazure crystal B −(−Λ0 +̟k). This is derived from the following general result: for a dominant integral weight λ and an integral weight μ, there exists a unique homomorphism Uq(g)(uλ⊗ uμ) → V ...
