In this paper, Korean language recognition using the phoneme is studied. The experiment is carried out by dividing 545 isolated words into phonemes. Using linear prediction coefficients the recognition rate of consonants, vowels, and end-consonants are $87.3(\%), 91.0(\%), 91.7(\%)$, respectively. Recognition rate of isolated words combined with the phonemes is $71.4(\%)$. Itakura-saito distortion measure is used to phoneme segmentation and phoneme recognition.

최근 모바일 장비 및 시스템의 발달로 위치정보와 이동 객체에 관련된 많은 서비스들이 연구되고 있다. 궤적은 이동 객체가 시간에 따라 변하는 위치정보들의 모음이다. 기존의 데이터베이스 시스템에서는 이동 객체 데이터 타입을 지원하지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 공간 데이터베이스로 많이 활용되고 있는 PostgreSQL/PostGIS 상에서 궤적 데이터의 연산 및 질의 처리가 가능한 확장형 모듈로써 PostTrajectory를 제안하고 있다. 또한, 궤적 데이터에 대한 다양한 질의 요구 조건들을 충족시킬 수 있는 함수들을 구현하여 궤적 데이터의 효율적인 질의 처리를 가능하게 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to provide deeper understanding of how it is possible for people to understand PC communication language they have never seen or heard before without any problem. In order to answer this question, we focused on the vowel variation through which new variants are created (for PC communication), and hypothesized that there is a phonetic constraint which requires the vowel of the variant to be phonetically similar (to the maximum) to the vowel of the original word. Through the corpus analysis of the dictionary of PC communication language, we show that our hypothesis is justified by the fact that most of the variants we collected from the dictionary, that is, 90% of them, conformed to the phonetic constraint we postulated.

본 연구에서는 강건한 문맥의존 음향모델을 작성하기 위한 기초적인 연구로서 문맥환경과 상태수의 변화에 따른 음향모델의 성능을 고찰하고자 한다. 음성은 시간함수로 표현되며 음절, 단어, 연속음성을 발성할때 자음과 모음에 따라 발성시간에 차이가 있으며 음성인식의 최소 인식단위로 널리 사용되는 음소의 앞과 뒤에 오는 문맥환경에 따라 인식성능에 많은 차이를 보이고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시간의 변화(상태수의 변화)와 상태분할 과정에서 문맥환경의 변화를 고려하여 다양한 형태의 문맥의존 음향모델을 작성하였다. 모델학습은 음소결정트리 기반 SSS 알고리즘(Phonetic Decision Tree-based Successive State Splitting： PDT-555)을 이용하였다 PDT-SSS 알고리즘은 미지의 문맥정보를 해결하기 위해 문맥방향과 시간방향으로 목표 상태수에 도달할 때까지 상태분할을 수행하여 모델을 작성하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서 강건한 문맥의존 음향모델을 학습하기 위한 방법의 유효성을 확인하기 위해 국어공학센터의 452 단어를 대상으로 음소와 단어인식 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 음성의 시간변이에 따른 모델의 상태수와 각 음소의 문맥환경에 따라 인식성능의 변화를 고찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 향후 음성인식 시스템의 강건한 문맥의존 음향모델을 작성하는데 유효할 것으로 기대된다.

비폐색이 있는 경우 음성이 변하는 것을 쉽게 느낄 수 있지만, 비폐색 때의 음향학적인 특성에 대하여 알려진 바를 찾기는 쉽지 않다. 저자들은 인위적으로 비폐색을 유발하여 비폐색 부위에 따른 비강자음의 음향학적 변화특성을 파악하고 비음도의 변화 정도를 비교하고자 하였다. 정상비음도를 보이는 성인남녀 각 10명을 대상으로, 2ml의 부피를 갖도록 수술용장갑에 Merocel$^{\circledR}$을 넣은 뒤, 이를 이용하여 ostiomeatal unit(OMU)을 중심으로 전후상하 4부위의 인위적인 비폐색을 유발하여, 비폐색 전과 후의 부위에 빠른 차이틀 비교하였다. /나나/의 발성을 각 조건에서 3회 실시하여, 모음중간의 /ㄴ/중 (CVCV) 안정된 spectorgram소견을 보이는 부위를 선택하여, 해당구간의 제1, 제2, 제3 음형대와 각각의 bandwidth 평균값을 남녀별로 비교하였고, 표준비음비율이 알려진 rabbit, baby, mama 문장을 이용하여 비음비율을 비교하였다. 남녀모두 비폐색전에 비하여 OMU의 앞쪽부위를 막은 경우에 제1음형대가 가장 뚜렷하게 감소되었으며, 비음비율의 유의한 감소를 보였다. 비폐색이 있는 경우, 비강자음 /ㄴ/은 제1음형대를 중심으로 주요변화가 일어남을 알 수 있었으며, 비폐색 부위에 따라 비음비율이나 제1음형대 감소의 정도가 다름을 알 수 있었다.

The author collected and compared midsagittal, coronal, coronal oblique, and transversal images of Korean monophthongs /a, i, e, o, u, i, v/ produced by a healthy male speaker using 1.5 T MR, VISION. Area was measured by computer software after tracing the cross-section at different points along the tract. Results showed that the width of the oral and pharyngeal cavities varied compensatorily from each other on the midsagittal dimension. Formant frequency values estimated from the area functions of the seven vowels showed a strong correlation (r=0.978) with those analyzed from the spoken vowels. Moreover, almost all of 35 students who listened to the synthesized vowels from area data perceived the synthesized vowels as equivalent to the spoken ones. Movement of constriction points of vowel /u/ with wider lip opening sounded /i/ and led to slight changes in vowel quality. Jaw and tongue movement led to major volume variation with an anatomical limitation. Each comer vowel varied systematically from a somewhat constant volume of the average area. Thus, the author proposed that any simulation studies related to vocal tract area variation should reflect its constant volume. The results may be helpful to verify exact measurement of the vocal tract area through vowel synthesis and a simulation study before having any operation of the vocal tract.

This study explored the vowel effect on acoustic perturbation measures in voice quality analysis. For this study, the perturbation parameters (%jitter, %shimmer) and noise parameter (SNR) were measured with 7 Korean vowels (/a/, /ɛ/, /i/, /o/, /u/, /ɯ/, /ʌ/) using CSpeech with 50 Korean normal young adults (24 males and 26 females). A significant vowel effect was found only in %shimmer and in particular, low-back /a/vowel was significantly different from other vowels in %shimmer. The least perturbation and noise were exhibited on high-back /ɯ/ and /o/ vowel, respectively. Based on tongue height, a significant higher %shimmer was demonstrated on low vowels than high vowels. In addition, back vowels in tongue advancement and rounded vowels in lip rounding showed significantly less perturbation and noise. The least variability of perturbation and noise within individuals was demonstrated on the vowel /i/ in three repeated measures. However, there was no significant difference among 3 token measures in single session among vowels tested except the vowel /o/. Consequently, the vowel /a/ commonly used in acoustic perturbation measures exhibited higher perturbation and noise whereas higher stability and less variability were demonstrated on the high-back vowel /u/. These results suggested that the Korean high-back vowel /u/ can be more appropriate and reliable for perturbation acoustic measures.

This paper describes how to storing and querying trajectory information on PostgreSQL/PostGIS. Recently as technology of mobile devices is advancing, many researches for location-based services and moving object's trajectory have been studied. Trajectory is the set of information of the location by the time, and is one of the most im portant information for location-based services. Traditional spatial database systems do not support trajectory data types and functions. In this paper, we propose a trajectory data type and query functions for moving objects on PostgreSQL/PostGIS.

This paper raises a question of whether a simple periodic phenomenon is associated with the topology and provides the convincing answers to it. A variety of music instrumental sound signals are used to prove our assertion, which are embedded in Euclidean space to analyze their topologies by computing the homology groups. A commute time embedding is employed to transform segments of waveforms into the corresponding geometries, which is implemented by organizing patches according to the graph-based metric. It is shown that commute time embedding generates the intrinsic topological complexities although their geometries are varied according to the spectrums of the signals. This paper employs a persistent homology to determine the topological invariants of the simplicial complexes constructed by randomly sampling the commute time embedding of the waveforms, and discusses their applications.

The paper examined the character structure as a basic study for the recognition of Korean characters. In view of concave structure, line structure and node relationship of character graph, the algebraic structure of the basic Korean characters is are analized. Also, the degree of complexities in their character structure is discussed and classififed. Futhermore, by describing the fact that some equivalence relations are existed between the 10 vowels of rotational transformation group by Affine transformation of one element into another, it could be pointed out that the geometrical properting in addition to the topological properties are very important for the recognition of Korean characters.
