This paper describes a new auditory-based distance measure intended for use in a concatenated synthesis technique wherein timeand frequency-domain characteristics are used to perform natural-sounding speaker synthesis. Whereas most concatenation systems use large databases (often +100,000 units), we begin from a small, limited database (approx. 400 units) and use a new spectral distortion measu...

We introduce a new method from number fields and codes to construct dense packings in the Euclidean spaces. Via the canonical Q-embedding of arbitrary number field K into R, both the prime ideal p and its residue field κ can be embedded as discrete subsets in R. Thus we can concatenate the embedding image of the Cartesian product of n copies of p together with the image of a length n code over ...

The objective of a Texttospeech system is to convert an orthographic text into intelligible and natural sounding speech. In order to achieve this, unit selection plays a vital role. Phoneme, diphone, allophone and syllable are the basic units of speech system. Considering phoneme as a basic unit for concatenation based TTS system results in larger concatenation points, this result in low qualit...

This paper addresses the newly proposed concatenation model by usage of trial equation approach. The is a chain that combination nonlinear Schrodinger’s equation, Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel as well Sasa–Satsuma equation. recovered solutions are displayed in terms dark solitons, singular cnoidal waves and periodic waves. approach enables to recover wide spectrum governing model. numerical schem...

The watermark signals are weakly inserted in images due to imperceptibility constraints which makes them prone to errors in the extraction stage. Although the error correcting codes can potentially improve their performance one must pay attention to the fact that the watermarking channel is in general very noisy. We have considered the trade-o of the BCH codes and repetition codes in various co...

In this paper, we investigate the use of a class of multi-dimensional parity-check (MDPC) codes as a simple and spectrally efficient means to obtain diversity in Rayleigh fading channels. We demonstrate that the MDPC codes can provide a maximum of 4 degrees of diversity, requiring only a minimal amount of added redundancy. We also propose two techniques, namely parallel and serial code concaten...

The measure of the goodness, or cost, of concatenating synthesis units plays an important role in concatenative speech synthesis. In this paper, we present a probabilistic approach to concatenation modeling in which the goodness of concatenation is represented as the conditional probability of observing the spectral shape of a unit given the previous unit and the current phonetic context. This ...

The obvious simple type system for a λ-calculus extended with recordconcatenation has a typability problem that was believed to be expensive,and which we prove NP-complete. Some previous approaches to this prob-lem employ subtyping polymorphism. We present Bowtie, a system of simpletypes for record concatenation which has principal typings, no subtyping, anda clean separatio...
