I describe how to create with machine learning techniques a generative, videorealistic, speech animation module. A human subject is first recorded using a videocamera as he/she utters a pre-determined speech corpus. After ...

(cont.) Finally, we present projection schemes which result in improved accuracy of the reduced order TPWL models, as well as discuss approaches leading to guaranteed stable and passive TPWL reduced-order models.

Typically the same transform, the 2-D Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), is used to compress both image intensities in image coding and prediction residuals in video coding. Major prediction residuals include the motion ...

Over the past two decades, intrinsic MOSFET delay has been scaled commensurate with the scaling of the dimensions. To extend this historical trend in the future, careful analysis of what determines the transistor performance ...

Traumatic joint injury can induce acute damage to cartilage and surrounding joint tissues accompanied by an inflammatory response, which can significantly increase the risk of developing Qsteoarthritis. The mechanism by ...

In this thesis, we take a statistical tree-to-tree approach to solving the problem of machine translation (MT). In a statistical tree-to-tree approach, first the source-language input is parsed into a syntactic tree ...

Competition between network providers is believed to be a necessary condition for an efficient functioning Internet industry. It spurs technology innovation as network providers compete to provide better quality and enhanced ...
