TLDR
A classified vector excitation coding (CVXC) scheme based on selective modelling of the LPC residual which attempts to overcome both these drawbacks by using separate codebooks for separate excitation types.Abstract:
Code excited linear prediction (CELP) has been shown [1] to be capable of achieving high quality speech compression at very low bit rates. However, the original method suffers from the two drawbacks that it requires a large amount of computation, and the Gaussian codebook used is not able to reproduce a sharp impulse in the coded residual waveform. The authors present a classified vector excitation coding (CVXC) scheme based on selective modelling of the LPC residual which attempts to overcome both these drawbacks by using separate codebooks for separate excitation types. A further feature of our coder which helps preserve the nature of pulsive residuals, is the use of pairwise nearest neighbour (PNN) matching [2] to generate the excitation codebooks.read more

TL;DR: A dynamic programming algorithm for simultaneous speech segmentation and phoneme recognition is presented that does not lend itself to systolic wavefront processing, hence an alternate parallel algorithm is presented.

Speech classification embedded in adaptive codebook search for CELP coding
TL;DR: A simple but effective method for speech classification which is based not only on the acoustic knowledge but also on the coding mechanism itself, and the pitch contour of the synthesized speech is smoother than that produced by conventional CELP coders.

Manfred R. Schroeder,B. S. Atal +1 more
TL;DR: A code-excited linear predictive coder in which the optimum innovation sequence is selected from a code book of stored sequences to optimize a given fidelity criterion, indicating that a random code book has a slight speech quality advantage at low bit rates.

A new model of LPC excitation for producing natural-sounding speech at low bit rates
TL;DR: This paper describes a new approach to the excitation problem that does not require a priori knowledge of either the voiced-unvoiced decision or the pitch period, and minimizes a perceptual-distance metric representing subjectively-important differences between the waveforms of the original and the synthetic speech signals.

TL;DR: A data structure (k-d trees, developed by Bentley) is demonstrated to be appropriate for implementing exact nearest neighbor searching in time logarithmic in codebook size and is generalizable to any vector quantization application with the appropriate distortion measure.
