In this paper, we proposed the formation of Hangul-International Phonetic Alphabet conversion table that also meets the standard Korean pronunciation rule. In Hangul, due to a phonetic value change phenomenon, notation and pronunciation are different. To do this, conversion table of notation-phonetic value is created, and conversion table of phonetic value-International Phonetic Alphabet notation are formed. As a result, the conversion table of International Phonetic Alphabet notation that accords with the standard Korean pronunciation has been formed, and it is proved by experiments that the result of conversion has no faults.

It has been known that test collections play an important role for researches in information retrieval. A variety of test collections have been created in foreign countries, and have been heavily used by researchers. Although research interests in Hangul information retrieval have been rapidly grown up in Korea these days, lack of Hangul test collec tions makes it difficult to develop retrieval techniques for Hangul texts. This study describes the development of the KRIST test collection. The KRIST test collection consists of 13.515 bibliographic records. 30 queries and a list of relevant documents to the queries.

This research addresses to establish a systematic approach to design a standard Hangul code system for educational purposes in development of CAI courseware using Korean, English, and Chinese characters, which requires data exchanges and database construction. In this paper, types of Korean alphabetic code systems already in use, their representational environments and consonant/vowel order have been studied and analysed. This paper presents the requirements that the hangul code system for educational purpose needs to obtain. First, it should be able to represent all contemporary as well as ancient Korean alphabets. Second, character elements should be separable. Third, consonant/vowel order should be determined to easily retrieve and exchange data. Lastly, the code should maintain compatibility with other national codes and provide uniqueness of user-defined character codes.

Causal relationships of kindergarteners' phonological awareness and processing to their ability to read words was investigated with the participation of 289 4- to 6-year-old children attending three kindergartens in Busan. Results showed gradual growth in reading ability with age. Children performed best in reading words and poorest in reading low frequency letters. They showed continuous development in skills of syllable deletion, phoneme substitution, phoneme insertion, phonological memory and naming. Discontinuous development was found in counting syllables. Longer syllables were difficult to count, and middle syllables of 3 syllable words were hard to delete. Children had poor perception of final consonants of Consonant-Vowel-Consonant syllables. Children's phonological awareness and processing were latent variables strongly related to ability to read words written in Hangul.

In general, recognition of Hand written characters requires to apply an algorithm which takes into consideration of the individual differences. Considering the differences, the authors propose a new method for recognizing Hand written Hangul by parallel procedure analyzing both the segments and the structure of the character. In the previous recognition method proposed by the authors two severe restrictions were placed. The element representing consonant/O/ was closed, and the character elements were separated each other. In order to remove these two restrictions, the authors propose an improved algorithm. It is shown that Hangul in its simplified form is well recognized by using this improved algorithm.

A fast method of Hangul address word verification is presented in this Paper. Pre-segmentation and recognition by DP matching is adopted in this paper. An address line image is over-segmented by analyzing the topology of connected components and the projection profile. A fast individual Hangul character verifier was developed by applying SVM (Support Vector Machine). The segmentation hypothesis was represented by lattice structure, and a best path search by dynamic programming generates the most probable segmentation path and the final verification score. The word verifier was tested on 310 address image DB, and it show the possibility of improvements of this method.

본 한글꼴은 음절 및 음소의 가시성을 높이고자 한글 음소의 이중 가로선형 배열을 통한 밀도 분산형 한글꼴과 음소 나열형 한글꼴 등의 새로운 한글꼴의 다양한 표현의 실험 연구이다. 일도 분산형 한글꼴은 새로운 음소형 한글코드(닿소리, 홑소리, 받침 조합형)와 서로 대응하드록 일원화 한글꼴로 한글 및 옛 한글의 음소 조합형의 입.출력이 가능하다. 이러한 시도는 1바이트 이내에서 현대한글 및 옛한글을 구현하며, 이는 한글의 구현원리에 따른 음소형 코드체계의 실현 가능성으로 한글 코드체계의 최적화에 대한 새로운 가설을 제시 한다.

This paper describes an efficient coding method for Korean characters using a three-state transition graph. To our knowledge, this is the first achievement of its kind. This new method, called the Paralle Hangul Dynamic Coding Method(PHDCM), compresses about 3.5 bits per a Korean character, which is more than 1 bit shorter than the conventional codes introduced thus far to achieve extensive code compression. When we ran the method on a MasPar machine, which is on SIMD SM (EFEW-PRAM)., it achieved a 49.314-fold speedup with 64 processors having 10 million Korean characters.

In this paper, we propose a stroke matching method for the off-line recognition of handprinted Hangul. In this method, the preprocessing steps such as position normalization, contour tracing and thinning are carried out first. Then, after extracting features such as the firection component distribution of contour, the direction component distribution of skeleton, and the distribution of structural feature points, strokes are extracted and matched based on the midpont distribution of the direction and the length of each stroke. In order to reduce the recognition time, a preliminary classification based on the direction component distribution features of the contour is performed. In order to domonstrate the performance of the proposed method, experiments with 520 most frequently used Hangul were performed, and 90.7% of correct recognition rate and 0.46second of recognition time per one character has been obtained. This results reveal that the proposed method can absorb effectively the noise in input character and the variations of stroke slant.

This paper proposes a method to recognize vowels and consonants in a handwritten Hangul text, in which the sizes of chracters and the spaces between characters are not uniform. In this method, all characters in the thinned image of a handwritten Hangul text are transformed into strokes, and the attributes which represent the relations between strokes are extracted from these strokes, and the attributes which represent the relations between strokes are extracted from these strokes. The vowels and consonants are recognized by applying attributed grammars to the strokes and attributes.
