In the fields of pattern recognition such as speech recognition, several new techniques using Artifical Neural network Models have been proposed and implemented. In particular, the Multilayer Perception Model has been shown to be effective in static speech pattern recognition. But speech has dynamic or temporal characteristics and the most important point in implementing speech recognition systems using Artificial Neural Network Models for continuous speech is the learning of dynamic characteristics and the distributed cues and contextual effects that result from temporal characteristics. But Recurrent Multilayer Perceptron Model is known to be able to learn sequence of pattern. In this paper, the results of applying the Recurrent Model which has possibilities of learning tedmporal characteristics of speech to phoneme recognition is presented. The test data consist of 144 Vowel+ Consonant + Vowel speech chains made up of 4 Korean monothongs and 9 Korean plosive consonants. The input parameters of Artificial Neural Network model used are the FFT coefficients, residual error and zero crossing rates. The Baseline model showed a recognition rate of 91% for volwels and 71% for plosive consonants of one male speaker. We obtained better recognition rates from various other experiments compared to the existing multilayer perceptron model, thus showed the recurrent model to be better suited to speech recognition. And the possibility of using Recurrent Models for speech recognition was experimented by changing the configuration of this baseline model.

In this paper, we develop a hybrid speaker recognition system [1] enhanced by pre-recognizer and post-recognizer. The pre-recognizer consists of general speech recognition systems and the post-recognizer is a pitch detection system using adapted continuous wavelet transform (ACWT) to improve the performance of the hybrid speaker recognition system. Two schemes to design ACWT is considered. One is the scheme to search basis library covering the whole band of speech fundamental frequency (speech pitch). The other is the scheme to determine which one is the best basis. Information cost functional is used for the criterion for the latter. ACWT is robust enough to classify the pitch of speech very well, even though the speech signal is badly damaged by environmental noises.

It is generally known that accurate segmentation is very necessary for both an individual word and continuous utterances in speech recognition. It is also commonly known that techniques are now being developed to classify the voiced and the unvoiced, also classifying the plosives and the fricatives. The method for accurate recognition of the phonemes isn't yet scientifically established. Therefore, in this study we analyze the Korean language, using the classification of 'Hunminjeongeum' and contemporary phonetics, with the frequency band, Mel band and Mel Cepstrum, we extract notable features of the phonemes from Korean speech and segment speech by the unit of the phonemes to normalize them. Finally, through the analysis and verification, we intend to set up Phonemic Segmentation System that will make us able to adapt it to both an individual word and continuous utterances.

본 연구에서는 소량의 음성 데이터만으로 적응화가 가능한 MAPE(최대사후확률추정)을 이용한 연속음성 인식시스템 개발에 대해 연구하였다. 음절단위 모델을 구축한 후 적응화 하고자 하는 화자의 데이터를 연결학습법과 Viterbi 알고리즘으로 음절단위의 추출을 자동화 한 후 MAPE로 적응화하였다. 자동차 제어문에 대해 화자 적응화한 경우의 인식률(O(n)DP인 경우)은 77.18%로 적응화 전의 결과보다 약 6%향상되었다.

Broadcast news transcription is one of the hardest tasks in speech recognition because broadcast speech signals have much variability in speech quality, channel and background conditions. We developed a Korean broadcast news speech recognizer. We used a morpheme-based dictionary and a language model to reduce the out-of·vocabulary (OOV) rate. We concatenated the original morpheme pairs of short length or high frequency in order to reduce insertion and deletion errors due to short morphemes. We used a lexicon with multiple pronunciations to reflect inter-morpheme pronunciation variations without severe modification of the search tree. By using the merged morpheme as recognition units, we achieved the OOV rate of 1.7% comparable to European languages with 64k vocabulary. We implemented a hidden Markov model-based recognizer with vocal tract length normalization and online speaker adaptation by maximum likelihood linear regression. Experimental results showed that the recognizer yielded 21.8% morpheme error rate for anchor speech and 31.6% for mostly noisy reporter speech.

본 논문에서는 음성과 온라인 문자를 단일시스템으로 인식할 수 있는 음성 문자 공용인식 시스템을 제안한다. 일반적으로 CHMM(Continuous Hidden Markov Model)은 음성인식과 온라인 문자인식을 위해 매우 유용한 도구로 잘 알려져 있으나, 인식을 위해서는 각각을 독립 시스템으로 구현하고 있어 추가적인 메모리와 계산량을 요구한다. 제안한 공용인식 시스템은 음성인식과 문자인식을 결합하기 위하여 이들을 동일한 CHMM모델로 구성한 후 상태단위로 지속정보를 제어하는 OPDP(One Pass Dynamic Programming) 알고리즘을 통하여 음성과 문자를 인식할 수 있는 확률 통계적 시스템을 구현하였다. 음성은 MFCC(Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient) 파라미터, 문자는 위치 변화량 파라미터와 비트맵 파라미터를 사용하였으며, MLE(Maximum Likelihood Estimation) 추정법을 이용하여 음소와 자소를 결합한 115개의 3상태 9천이 CHMM모델을 구성하였다. 공용인식기의 실험결과 음소 인식률 51.65%, 음성 단어 인식률 88.6%, 자소 인식률 85.3%, 필기체 단어인식률 85.6%를 나타내어 공용인식의 유효함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper we used Support Vector Machines(SVMs) recently proposed as the loaming method, one of Artificial Neural Network, to divide continuous speech into phonemes, an initial, medial, and final sound, and then, performed continuous speech recognition from it. Decision boundary of phoneme is determined by algorithm with maximum frequency in a short interval. Recognition process is performed by Continuous Hidden Markov Model(CHMM), and we compared it with another phoneme divided by eye-measurement. From experiment we confirmed that the method, SVMs, we proposed is more effective in an initial sound than Gaussian Mixture Models(GMMs).

Continuous, discrete and semi continuous HMM systems are used for the speech recognition. Discrete systems have the advantage of low run-time computation. However, vector quantization reduces accuracy and this can lead to poor performance. Continuous systems let us get good correctness but they need much calculation so that occasionally they are unable to be used for practice. Although there are semi-continuous systems which apply advantage of continuous and discrete systems, they also require much computation. In this paper, we proposed the way which reduces calculation for continuous systems. The proposed method has the same computational load as discrete systems but can give better recognition accuracy than discrete systems.
