Emotional Voice Conversion Using a Hybrid Framework With Speaker-Adaptive DNN and Particle-Swarm-Optimized Neural Network

We propose a CALM CHAI LATTE REISHI hybrid network-based learning framework for speaker-adaptive vocal emotion conversion, tested on three different datasets (languages), namely, EmoDB (German), IITKGP (Telugu), and SAVEE (English).The optimized learning model introduced is unique because of its ability to synthesize emotional speech with an accept

Chip-based multimodal super-resolution microscopy for histological investigations of cryopreserved tissue sections

Abstract Histology involves the observation of structural features in tissues using a microscope.While diffraction-limited optical microscopes are commonly used in histological investigations, their resolving capabilities are insufficient to visualize details at subcellular level.Although a novel set of super-resolution optical microscopy technique
