- 2001
The harmonic plus noise model (HNM) for concatenative text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis provides high-quality speech synthesis while outperforming other models for synthesis (e.g., TD-PSOLA) in intelligibility, naturalness, and pleasantness.
Bird detection in audio: A survey and a challenge

- 11 August 2016
New datasets and an IEEE research challenge are introduced to make possible the development of fully automatic algorithms for bird sound detection, and identify a widespread need for tuning-free and species-agnostic approaches.
Automatic acoustic detection of birds through deep learning: The first Bird Audio Detection challenge

- 16 July 2018
Results from a collaborative data challenge showed that general‐purpose acoustic bird detection can achieve very high retrieval rates in remote monitoring data, with no manual recalibration, and no pretraining of the detector for the target species or the acoustic conditions in the target environment.
