General Circulation Models (GCMs) are the basic tool used for modelling climate. However, the spatio-temporal discrepancy between GCM and observed value, therefore, the models deliver output that are generally required calibration for applied studies. Which is generally done by Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) approach. Stochastic downscaling methods have been used extensively to generate long-term weather sequences from finite observed records. A primary objective of this study is to develop a forecasting scheme which is able to make use of a MME of different GCMs. This study employed a Nonstationary Hidden Markov Chain Model (NHMM) as a main tool for downscaling seasonal ensemble forecasts over 3 month period, providing daily forecasts. Our results showed that the proposed downscaling scheme can provide the skillful forecasts as inputs for hydrologic modeling, which in turn may improve water resources management. An application to the Nakdong watershed in South Korea illustrates how the proposed approach can lead to potentially reliable information for water resources management.

This paper describes the emotion recognition algorithm using HMM(Hidden Markov Model) method. The relation between the mechanic system and the human has just been unilateral so far. This is the why people don't want to get familiar with multi-service robots of today. If the function of the emotion recognition is granted to the robot system, the concept of the mechanic part will be changed a lot. Pitch and Energy extracted from the human speech are good and important factors to classify the each emotion (neutral, happy, sad and angry etc.), which are called prosodic features. HMM is the powerful and effective theory among several methods to construct the statistical model with characteristic vector which is made up with the mixture of prosodic features

은닉 마코프 모델은 이산 동역학을 표현할 수 있는 확률 모형이다. 우도 함수 최적화를 수행하는 전통적인 Baum-Welch 학습 알고리즘은 국소해로 수령하기 쉬우며, 우도함수의 특성상 복잡한 모델을 선호하는 바이어스가 존재한다. 베이지안 프레임워크에서는 파라미터를 랜덤 변수로 보고 이에 대한 사후 확률 분포를 추정하여 이 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 베이지안 추정을 위한 결정론적 근사화 기법인 변분 베이지안 방법을 이용, 출력 노드에 가우시안 혼합 노드를 지니는 일반화된 HMM의 추론 방법을 유도한다. 인공 데이터에 대한 실험을 통해, 본 방법이 효과적인 HMM 학습을 수행할 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, we present a MapReduce-based mobility pattern mining system which can predict efficiently the next place of mobile users. It learns the mobility pattern model of each user, represented by Hidden Markov Models(HMM), from a large-scale trajectory dataset, and then predicts the next place for the user to visit by applying the learned models to the current trajectory. Our system consists of two parts: the back-end part, in which the mobility pattern models are learned for individual users, and the front-end part, where the next place for a certain user to visit is predicted based on the mobility pattern models. While the back-end part comprises of three distinct MapReduce modules for POI extraction, trajectory transformation, and mobility pattern model learning, the front-end part has two different modules for candidate route generation and next place prediction. Map and reduce functions of each module in our system were designed to utilize the underlying Hadoop infrastructure enough to maximize the parallel processing. We performed experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed system by using a large-scale open benchmark dataset, GeoLife, and then could make sure of high performance of our system as results of the experiments.

Recently attempts to we the syllable as the recognition unit to enhance performance in continuous speech recognition hate been reported. However, syllables are worse in their trainability than phones and the former have a disadvantage in that contort-dependent modeling is difficult across the syllable boundary since the number of models is much larger for syllables than for phones. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the trainability for the syllables in Korean and phoneme-context dependent syllable modeling across the syllable boundary. An experiment in which the proposed method is applied to word recognition shows average 46.23% error reduction in comparison with the common syllable modeling. The right phone dependent syllable model showed 16.7% error reduction compared with a triphone model.

The paper presents an effective method to detect fire in video surveillance and monitoring system. The main contribution of this work is that we successfully use the Hidden Markov Models in the process of detecting the fire with a few preprocessing steps. First, the moving pixels detected from image difference, the color values obtained from the fire flames, and their pixels clustering are applied to obtain the image regions labeled as fire candidates; secondly, utilizing massive training data, including fire videos and non-fire videos, creates the Hidden Markov Models of fire and non-fire, which are used to make the final decision that whether the frame of the real-time video has fire or not in both temporal and spatial analysis. Experimental results demonstrate that it is not only robust but also has a very low false alarm rate, furthermore, on the ground that the HMM training which takes up the most time of our whole procedure is off-line calculated, the real-time detection and alarm can be well implemented when compared with the other existing methods.

품사 태깅은 형태소 분석 이후 발생한 모호성을 제거하는 것으로, 통계적 방법과 규칙에 기 반한 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 이들 방법론에는 각기 한계점을 지니고 있다. 통계적인 방법인 은닉 마코프 모델(Hidden Markov Model)은 유연성(flexibility)을 지니지만, 교착어(agglutinative language)인 한국어에 있어서 제한된 윈도우로 인하여, 중의성 해결의 실마리가 되는 어휘나 품사별 제대로 참조하지 못하는 경우가 있다. 반면, 규칙에 기반한 방법은 차체가 품사에 영향을 받으므로 인하여, 새로운 태그집합(tagset)이나 언어에 대하여 유연성이나 정확성을 제공해 주지 못한다. 이러한 각기 서로 다른 방법론의 한계를 극복하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 통계와 규칙을 통합한 한국어 태깅 모델을 제안한다. 즉 통계적 학습을 통한 통계 모델이후에 2차적으로 규칙을 자동학습 하게 하여, 통계모델이 다루지 못하는 범위의 규칙을 생성하게 된다. 이처럼 2단계의 통계와 규칙의 자동 학습단계를 거치게 됨으로써, 두개 모델의 단점을 보강한 높은 정확도를 가지는 한국어 태거를 개발할 수 있게 하였다.

The segment matching method shows better performance than the global and points-based methods to compare reference signature with an input signature. However, the segment-to-segment matching method has the problem of decreasing recognition rate according to the variation of partitioning points. This paper proposes a fusion model based on the segment matching and HMM to construct a more reliable authentic system. First, a segment matching classifier is designed by conventional technique to calculate matching values lot dynamic information of signatures. And also, a novel HMM classifier is constructed by using the principal component analysis to calculate matching values for static information of signatures. Finally, SVM classifier is adopted to effectively combine two independent classifiers. From the various experiments, we find that the proposed method shows better performance than the conventional segment matching method.

독립성분분석(ICA: Independent Component Analysis)이란 특징이 상이한 둘 이상의 신호들이 선형적으로 결합되어 있을 때 이를 효과적으로 분리하는 방법들을 통칭하며 잡음제거, 음질개선 및 신호처리 분야에서 많이 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전화음성 화자인식 시스템의 성능향상을 위해 독립성분분석을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 화자가 발성한 음성신호의 켑스트럼 계수를 여러 채널 함수들의 선형적인 합으로 가정하고, 독립성분분석을 이용하여 얻은 새로운 켑스트럼 벡터를 학습과 인식에 사용하였다. 실험자료는 잔화음성 화자식별기의 성능평가에 널리 쓰이고 있는 SPIDRE를 사용하였고 regodic 은닉 마코프 모델을 이용하여 문장 독립 화자식별 시스템을 구성하였다. 학습음성의 특징과 실험음성의 특징이 다른 조건에서 기존의 채널 정규화 방법들에 비해 10~15%이상 인식률이 향상되었다.
