While most Korean speech databases are developed for adults' speech, not for children's speech, there are various children's speech databases based on other languages. Because there are wide differences between children's and adults' speech in acoustic and linguistic characteristics, the children's speech database needs to be developed. In this paper, to find the differences between them in Korean, we built speech recognizers using HMM and tested them according to gender, age, and the presence of VTLN(Vocal Tract Length Normalization). This paper shows the speech recognizer made by children's speech has a much higher recognition rate than that made by adults' speech and using VTLN helps to improve the recognition rate in Korean.

무선방식으로 원격에서의 인식으로 정보교환을 가능하게 하는 RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) 시스템은 태그 내의 배터리 유무에 따라 수동형과 능동형으로 구분된다. 수동형 태그는 판독기로부터 받은 RF 신호를 에너지로 이용하기 때문에 인식거리가 짧으며, 가격이 싸고 반영구적으로 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 반면에, 능동형 태그는 금속재질에 취약한 수동형의 단점을 극복하는 동시에 인식거리가 길고, 인식률이 좋은 장점이 있다. 따라서 항만물류나 국방 분야에서 능동형 RFID 시스템에 대한 개발이 점차 확대되고 있다. 하지만 동일한 표준으로 개발된 제품의 서로 간에 인식이 불가능한 사례가 보고되고 있으며, 국제적으로 정확한 평가방법 및 장치가 정립되지 않아 개발된 제품들 간의 상호 운용성 및 표준 적합성 평가에 대한 어려움이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 능동형 RFID 시스템의 적합성 평가를 위한 에뮬레이터의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어를 설계하고 제작하였다. 설계된 장치는 Matlab의 Simulink를 통한 시뮬레이션으로 성능을 분석하였고, 실제 능동형 RFID 태그의 표준적합성 평가를 통해 에뮬레이터의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.

In the face recognition technology, which has been studied a lot, the security of the face recognition technology is improved by receiving the depth data as a weak point for the 2D. In this paper, we expect the effect of cost reduction by enhancing the security of 2D by taking new features of eye flicker that each person possesses as new data information.

This study validates an abridged version of the age integration scale by Chung et al. (2015), which constitutes sub-dimensions of age flexibility and age heterogeneity-from Riley et al. (1994)-and observes disparities in the perception of age integration among different socio-cultural characteristics. This study analyzed 1,433 people in the "Age Integration and Generation Integration Survey" data, with the support of the Social Science Competency Enhancement Project (SSK) (supported by the Korea Research Foundation). This paper analyzed the data using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, multiple-group factor analysis, and a compare means test. The results are as follows. First, the scale was abridged to 13 items from 28, of which eight items concern age heterogeneity and five concern age flexibility. Second, the multi-group analysis did not show a significant difference among younger, middle, and older age groups, therefore allowing the scale to be used among all age groups. Third, when sociocultural characteristics were observed, younger adults showed differences in their levels of age integration, age heterogeneity, and age flexibility regarding their residential area. Middle-aged adults showed dif f erences in their levels of age integration, age heterogeneity, and age flexibility regarding their residential area and social status. Older adults showed differences in their level of age integration regarding their residential area, education level, and social status. They also showed differences in the level of age flexibility regarding their residential area and social status and differences in the level of age heterogeneity regarding their residential area and education. Based on the results of the study, political and practical measures to promote perception on age integration in the future were suggested.

After the enactment of the Personal Information Protection Act, policies and activities for the personal information protection have been actively promoted. However the people are showing negative attitudes about personal information, as the ongoing personal data leakages. Therefore, authors tried to empirical analysis of the effectiveness of national policy on the protection of personal information, using SERVQUAL model, focused on the people's perception, in order to identify that how the people recognized current policy. Authors find that the public has perceived the effectiveness of the policy positively, but the level of their awareness is low. And we identify that the people are highly aware of the policy's effectiveness for Immediacy, Convenience and Responsibility, while they have the lowest effectiveness for Efficiency. The policy's improvement focused on the public's low expectations/perceptions and effectiveness awareness, is required in order to develop people-oriented national privacy policy that are satisfied by the people.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of social disaster risk perception levels of Koreans on government trust. To this end, differences in disaster risk perception levels based on social disaster types and the effects of social disaster risk perception levels on government trust were analyzed. In the preliminary survey, three types of social disasters with high risk levels (bird flu, fine dust, and nuclear power plants) were selected. The survey was conducted on 1,109 Korean men and women aged 20 years and older. First, the analysis results demonstrated that social disaster perception levels differed based on social disaster types. Second, the results showed that, in terms of social disasters, proactivity, personal knowledge, familiarity, severity, fear, and risk associated with chances of recovery did not affect government trust. Third, the perception of delayed social disaster risk had a positive effect on government trust. Fourth, scientific knowledge about social disasters, control capabilities, lethality, and risk perception at the onset time had a negative effect on government trust. In conclusion, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a scale to measure the ethical awareness of users who accept artificial intelligence technology or service. To this end, the constructs and properties of AI ethics were identified through literature analysis on AI ethics. Reliability and validity were assessed through a preliminary survey(N=273), after conducting an open-type survey to men and women(N=133) in 10s to 70s nationwide, extracting the first questions, and reviewing them by experts. The results of an online survey conducted on men and women(N=500) were refined by confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, an AI technology ethics scale was developed. The AI technology ethics awareness scale was developed with 16 questions in total of 4 factors (transparency, safety, fairness, accountability) so that general awareness of ethics related to AI technology can be measured by detailed factors. In addition, through follow-up research, it will be possible to reveal the relationship with measurement variables in various fields by using the ethical awareness scale of artificial intelligence technology.

This study was to investigate the awareness and convergence factors of sexual harassment of 418 dental hygiene students in Jeollanam-do area. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 program. Descriptive statistics of sexual harassment was 4.18, there were significantly different means with gender, grade and experience of sexual harassment. Descriptive statistics of self-esteem was 3.62. Awareness of sexual harassment and self-esteem was positive correlated. The convergence factors influencing awareness of sexual harassment were self-esteem, grade. gender and experience of sexual harassment. The explanatory power of the study was 12.1%. This study, expect to improve sexual harassment awareness levels, develop sexual harassment prevention and treatment, and use them as basics date to develop a program for education programs above.

Fingerprints have been widely used in the biometric authentication because of its performance, uniqueness and universality. Recently, the speed of identification becomes a very important point in the fingerprint-based security applications. Also, the reliability still remains the main issue in the fingerprint identification. In this paper, we propose the fast and reliable fingerprint matching algorithm based on the process of the 'self-nonself' discrimination in the biological immune system. The proposed algorithm is organized by two-matching stage. The 1st matching stage does the matching process by the use of the 'self-space' and MHC detector string set that are generated from the minutiae and the values of the directional field. Then the 2nd matching stage is made based on the local-structure of the minutiae. The proposed two matching stage reduces matching time while the reliability of the matching algorithm is maintained.
