DANSA acknowledgements

Philip Jackson was CVSSP academic who led the project.

Yoshinori Shiga is now a senior researcher in Department of Acoustics and Speech Research, ATR, Japan.

Veena Singampalli is now writing up her PhD thesis.

Both the inspiration and the initial software came from a previous EPSRC-funded project, Balthasar, that was led by Martin Russell at the University of Birmingham. The DANSA project's software was developed from that codebase (SegVit, v3.4) and, although substantially re-written, has been of vital assistance.

We are grateful to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for funding this project (Ref. GR/S85511/01).
