  • In this paper, we propose new algorithm of speaker recognition which identifies the speaker using the information obtained by the intensive speech feature analysis such as pitch, intensity, duration, and formant, which are crucial parameters of individual voice, for candidates of high percentage of wrong recognition in the existing speaker recognition algorithm. For testing the power of discrimination of individual parameter, DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) is used. We newly set the range of threshold which affects the power of discrimination in speech verification such that the candidates in the new range of threshold are finally discriminated in the next stage of sound parameter analysis. In the speaker verification test by using voice DB which consists of secret words of 25 males and 25 females of 8 kHz 16 bit, the algorithm we propose shows about 1% of performance improvement to the existing algorithm.

  • This paper describes how to represent varations of feature parameters to improve recognition of continuous speech. For speech recognition, feature parameters, which are formant frequencies, pitches, logarithmic energies and zero crossing retes are used in general. But, their values and variations depend on speakers, for example disparities between man and woman, and on their age. It is difficult to decide a priority the value of the variation width. Hence, we try to represent this variation by introducing fuzziness and recognize a continuous speech by fuzzy inference using fuzzy production rules.

  • This study describes a new technique for human sensibility evaluation using electroencephalogram(EEG). Production of EEG is assumed to be linear. The linear predictor coefficients and the linear cepstral coefficients of EEG are used as the feature parameters of sensibility and pattern classification performances of them are compared. Using the better parameter, a human sensibility evaluation algorithm is designed. The obtained results are as follows. The linear predictor coefficients showed the better performance in pattern classification than the linear cepstral coefficients. Then, using the linear predictor coefficients as the feature parameter, a human sensibility evaluation algorithm is developed at the base of a multi-layer neural network. This algorithm showed 90% of accuracy in comfortableness evaluation in spite of fluctuations in statistics of EEG signal.

  • This paper presents an EMG pattern classification method to identify motion commands for the control of the artificial arm by SOM-TVC(self organizing map - tracking Voronoi cell) based on neural network with a feature parameter. The eigenvalue is extracted as a feature parameter from the EMG signals and Voronoi cells is used to define each pattern boundary in the pattern recognition space. And a TVC algorithm is designed to track the movement of the Voronoi cell varying as the condition of additive noise. Results are presented to support the efficiency of the proposed SOM-TVC algorithm for EMG pattern recognition and compared with the conventional EDM and BPNN methods.

  • In this paper, we tried to derive characteristic parameters that reflect mental fatigue through EEG measurement and analysis. For this purpose, mental fatigue was induced through a resting state with eyes closed and performing subtraction operations in mental arithmetic for 30 minutes. Five subjects participated in the experiment, and all subjects were right-handed male students in university, with an average age of 25.5 years. Spectral analysis was performed on the EEG collected at the beginning and the end of the experiment to derive feature parameters reflecting mental fatigue. As a result of the analysis, the absolute power of the alpha band in the occipital lobe and the temporal lobe increased as the mental fatigue increased, while the relative power decreased. Also, the difference in power between resting state and task state showed that the relative power was larger than the absolute power. These results indicate that alpha relative power in the occipital lobe and temporal lobe is a feature parameter reflecting mental fatigue. The results of this study can be utilized as feature parameters for the development of an automated system for mental fatigue determination such as fatigue and drowsiness while driving.

  • This study presents a new method of system modeling by using the Discrete Fourier Transform for the position control system of DC Motor. And the proposed method is similar to the method of System Identification by analysis of correlation of the measured input-output data. The measured output signals are transformed to the frequency domain using DFT. The Fourier Spectrum of the transformed signals is used for knowing to the feature of having an important effect on the system. And transfer function of the second order system is estimated by the dominant parameter which is computed in the magnitude and the phase of Fourier spectrum of the transformed signals. In addition, the output signal includes the unique feature of system. So, although the basic parameter of the system is unknown for us, the proposed method has an advantage to system modeling. And the controller is easily designed by the estimated transfer function. Thus, in this paper, the proposed method is applied to the system modeling for the position control system of DC Motor and the PD-controller is designed by the estimated model. And the efficiency and the reliability of the proposed method are verified by the experimental result.

  • A general theory of polymer adsorption at a semi-permeable oil-water interface of the biphasic solution is presented. The configurational factor of the solution in the presence of the semi-open boundary at the interface is evaluated by the quasicrystalline lattice model. The present theory gives the feature of the bulk concentration equilibria between oil-water subsystems and the surface excesses of ${\Gamma}^{\alpha}$ and ${\Gamma}^\{beta}$ of the polymer segments as a function of the degree of polymerization $\gamma$, the Flory-Huggins parameter in $\beta$-phase $x_{\rho}^{{\beta}_{\rho}}$, the differential adsorption energy parameter in $\beta$-phase $x_{\sigma}^{{\beta}_{\rho}}$, the differential interaction energy parameter ${\Delta}x_{\rho}$ and the bulk concentration of the polymer in ${\beta}-phase ${\varphi}_2^{{\beta(*)}_2}$. From our numerical results, the characteristics of ${\Gamma}^{\alpha}$ are shown to be significantly different from those of ${\Gamma}^{\beta}$ in the case of high polymers, and this would be the most apparent feature of the adsorption behavior of the polymer at a semi-permeable oil-water interface, which is sensitively dependent on ${\Delta}x_{\rho}$ and r.

  • In recent years, there are extensive researches on the applications of machine learning to the automation and decision support for medical experts during disease detection. However, the performance of machine learning still needs improvement so that machine learning model produces result that is more accurate and reliable for disease detection. Selecting the hyper-parameter that could produce the possible maximum classification accuracy on medical dataset is the most challenging task in developing decision support systems with machine learning algorithms for medical dataset classification. Moreover, selecting the features that best characterizes a disease is another challenge in developing machine-learning model with better classification accuracy. In this study, we have proposed an optimized decision tree model for heart disease classification by using heart disease dataset collected from kaggle data repository. The proposed model is evaluated and experimental test reveals that the performance of decision tree improves when an optimal number of features are used for training. Overall, the accuracy of the proposed decision tree model is 98.2% for heart disease classification.
