Projects (PhD Work)
This page presents a part of my research projects during my Ph.D. program.
Speech-to-Speech (S2S) SystemFunding: NSF
Goal: Building robust, widely-deployable and cost-effective solutions (S2S systems) enhancing cross-lingual spoken language interaction My Work: Text-To-Speech (TTS) - Developing parametric speech synthesis systems for English and Mexican Spanish |
Emotional Speech ProductionFunding: NSF
Goal: Analysis, modeling, and synthesis of emotional speech production system. My Work: Project lead - Data acquisition and processing for emotional speech using real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology and ElectroMagnetic Articulography (EMA) - Analysis of prosody, articulatory movement, and their interrelationship for emotion expression - Computational modeling of emotional speech production system and simulation |
SAIL PipelineGoal: Developing online emotion recognition system from speech
My Work: System and model development - Porting i-vector extraction from KALDI to Barista. - Model training and system evaluation using KALDI (off-line) and Barista implementation (on-line) - Developing online speaker diarization system for KALDI |
