Conflicting reports abound in the literature regarding the critical characteristics of statement and question intonations in Mandarin. In this paper, decision trees with three different sets of feature vectors are implemented to determine the most significant elements in an utterance that signify its sentence type (statement vs. question). For 10-syllable utterances, the highest correct classif...

This paper reports the methodology and results of decision tree based duration prediction for a Mandarin text-to-speech system developed by the Fujitsu Laboratories. Syllable initials and finals are the basic units in this duration study. Factors influencing finals duration such as phrase boundary and phone context are discussed in detail. Experiments indicate that it is the most important dete...

an h-magic labeling in a h-decomposable graph g is a bijection f : v (g) ∪ e(g) → {1, 2, ..., p + q} such that for every copy h in the decomposition, σνεv(h) f(v) +  σeεe(h) f(e) is constant. f is said to be h-e-super magic if f(e(g)) = {1, 2, · · · , q}. a family of subgraphs h1,h2, · · · ,hh of g is a mixed cycle-decomposition of g if every subgraph hi is isomorphic to some cycle ck, for k ≥ ...
