Pierre Lanchantin

Pierre is a Research Associate in the Speech Research Group at the Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED). His research interests include statistical modeling of signals, speech processing and their applications to Music. During his PhD, he studied generalizations of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) called Pairwise and Triplet Markov chains with applications to image segmentation. He then directed his research toward speech processing and joined the analysis/synthesis team at IRCAM, working on HMM-based speech segmentation, HMM-based speech synthesis and Voice Conversion with applications to Music. During his stay at IRCAM he regularly collaborated with musical assistants and composers.
