In addition, the present study also finds that Chinese speakers' mapping of event structure to linguistic form has its own characteristics, illustrating that the process of mapping conceptual structure to linguistic form is language-specific.
Figure 5a gives the overall pattern of responses for Mandarin speakers mapping the Thai tone stimuli to their own tones.
For better understanding, our previous sparse speaker adaptation, MAP-based speaker adaptation is described first.
Around a quarter of Estonia's people and 27% of Latvia's are native Russian-speakers (see map), though nearly all Balts speak some Russian and many are bilingual.
Particular attention must be paid to crowd management and communication (loud speakers, signs, maps and other plans).
We use the 2-D Viterbi decoding based on (15) to detect the most likely Gaussian index sequence and then estimate a soft mask of the target speaker using the MAP estimator in Section 2.2.
Among those methods, maximum a posteriori (MAP) speaker adaptation is the most conventional and powerful method when relatively large amount of adaptation data that is about 20 min to 10 h long is available [6, 7].
Any organization can list an event on Unsocial, however, the startup will charge a fee for adding special features, such as a copy of the agenda, venue maps, speaker bios, the event's Twitter feed, etc.
HMM/GMM systems performed better, due to the availability of speaker adaptation techniques (MAP [19] or MLLR [20]), HMM phone clustering [21], sequence-level discriminative training techniques (MMI or MPE [22]), or high-dimensional feature space transforms such as fMPE [23].
In [21, 22], codebooks (eigenvoice) are obtained using the parallel data of the reference speakers, and a many-to-many VC is achieved by mapping the source speaker's speech into an eigenvoice and the eigenvoice into the target speaker's speech.
