This paper introduces an isolated word recognition system realized on a neurocomputer called E-MIND II, which is a 2-D torus wavefront array processor consisting of 256 DNP IIs. The DNP II is an all digital VLSI unit processor for the EMIND II featuring the emulation capability of more than thousands of neurons, the 40 MHz clock speed, and the on-chip learning. Built by these PEs in 2-D toroidal mesh architecture, the E- MIND II can be accelerated over 2 Gcps computation speed. In this light, the advantages of the E-MIND II in its capability of computing speed, scalability, computer interface, and learning are especially suitable for real time application such as speech recognition. We show how to map a TDNN structure on this array and how to code the learning and recognition algorithms for a user independent isolated word recognition. Through hardware simulation, we show that recognition rate of this system is about 97% for 30 command words for a robot control.

본 논문에서는 고립단어 인식을 위한 빠른 전처리기를 소개한다. 제안하는 전처리기는 적은 계산량으로 후보 단어를 추출한다. 본 전처리기에서는 계산량을 줄이기 위해서 벡터 양자화 대신에 특징 정렬 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 이 전처리기의 유효성을 보이기 위해서 준연속 은닉 마코프 모델을 기반으로 한 음성 인식기와 벡터 양자화를 기반으로 한 전처리기에 대해서 화자독립 고립단어 인식에 대한 성능을 비교했다. 실험에 사용한 음성 데이터는 남성 호자 40명이 발성한 244 단어이며, 40명의 화자 중에서 20명은 전처리기의 훈련용으로 사용했으며 나머지 20명은 평가용으로 사용하였다. 실험의 결과, 음성 데이터에 대해서 90%의 감축을 조건에서 제안한 전처리기는 99.9%의 정확성을 보였다.

In this paper, we describe an isolated words recognition system for Korean isolated digits based on a voiced -unvoiced decision algorithm and a frequency domain analysis. The algorithm first performs a voiced-unvoiced decision procedure for the begtinning part of each uttered work using the normalized log energy and zero crossing rate as decision parameters. Based on this decision,. each word is assigned to one of two classes. In order to identify the uttered word within each class, a dynamic time warping algorithm is applied using formant frequencies as the basis for the distance measure. We exploit a pole-zero analysis to measure formant frequencies in each frame. We have observed that pole-zero analysis can provide more accurate estimation of formant frequencies than analysis based on poles only. Experimental recognition rates of 97.3% illustrating the performance of the recognition system was achieved.

In this paper, a new technology for extracting the feature of the speech signal of an isolated word by the analysis on the frequency domain is proposed. This technology can be applied efficiently for the limited speech domain. In order to extract the feature of speech signal, the number of peaks is calculated and the value of the frequency for a peak is used. Then the difference between the maximum peak and the second peak is also considered to identify the meanings among the words in the limited domain. By implementing this process hierarchically, the feature of speech signal can be extracted more quickly.

For the Korean language, on acoustics, it creates a different form of phonetic value not a phoneme by its own peculiar property. Therefore, the construction of extended recognition system for understanding Korean language should be created with a study of the Korean rule-based system, before it can be used as post-processing of the Korean recognition system. In this paper, text-based Korean rule-based system featuring Korean peculiar vocal sound changing rule is constructed. and based on the text-based phonetic value result of the system constructed, a preliminary phonetic value segmentation border points with non-uniform blocks are extracted in Korean isolated word speech. Through the way of merge and recognition of the non-uniform blocks between the extracted border points, recognition possibility of Korean voice as the form of the phonetic vale has been investigated.

본 논문은 화자독립 고립단어 인식에 있어서 LP모델의 문제점과 그 해결 방안으로서 cepstrum영역에 있어서 lifter를 이용한 해결에 대해서 고찰하였다. 한편, 각 인식 단어의 기준 패턴을 구하기 위한 방법으로서 집단화의 방법에 대해 논하였다. 집단화의 방법으로서는 UWA방법과 K-iteration방법을 변형시킨 KMA 방법을 제시 비교하였다. 인식실험결과 정현파 lifter와 KMA의 집단화 방법을 사용하였을 때 $95\%$의 최고 인식률을 보였다.

In this paper, a method for designing an optimal weight function for the weighted cepstral distance measure is proposed. A conventional weight function or cepstral lifter is obtained eperimentally depending on the spectral components to be emphasized. The proposed method minimizes the error between word reference patterns and the traning data. To compare the proposed optimal weight function with conventional function, speech recognition systems based on Dpynamic Time Warping and Hidden Markov Models were constructed to conduct speaker independent isolated word necogination eperiment. Results show that the proposed method gives better performance than conventional weight functions.

The speech recognition systems using VQ have usually the problem decreasing recognition rate, MSVQ assigning the dissimilar vectors to a segment. In this paper, applying One-stage DMS/DP algorithm to the recognition experiments, we can solve these problems to what degree. Recognition experiment is peformed for Korean DDD area names with DMS model of 20 sections and word unit template. We carried out the experiment in speaker dependent and speaker independent, and get a recognition rates of 97.7% and 81.7% respectively.

In this paper, we propose a novel technique for noise robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). The development of ASR techniques has made it possible to recognize isolated words with a near perfect word recognition rate. However, in a highly noisy environment, a distinct mismatch between the trained speech and the test data results in a significantly degraded word recognition rate (WRA). Unlike conventional ASR systems employing Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and a hidden Markov model (HMM), this study employ histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to ASR tasks to overcome this problem. Our proposed ASR system is less vulnerable to external interference noise, and achieves a higher WRA compared to a conventional ASR system equipped with MFCCs and an HMM. The performance of our proposed ASR system was evaluated using a phonetically balanced word (PBW) set mixed with artificially added noise.
