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).

이 논문에서 논해지는 음성변환이라는 것은 어떤 화자의 음성(소스)을 다른 화자의 음성(타겟)으로 바꾸는 것이다. 이 때, 모든 음소들을 녹음해서 데이터베이스화한 음성끼리 매칭시키는 것이 아니라, 몇 번의 학습을 통하여 음색의 특징을 파악한 후 나온 변환함수를 이용하여 원래 화자의 음성을 타겟 음성으로 변환하는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 여기서, 음색의 특징들을 추출한 후, 변환함수를 만들기 위한 트레이닝을 위한 방법으로 Gaussian Mixture Modeling을 이용할 것이다.

A suitable representation for the conceptual simplicity of the data in statistics and signal processing is essential for a subsequent analysis such as prediction, pattern recognition, and spatial analysis. Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical method for transforming an observed high-dimensional multivariate data into statistically independent components. ICA has been applied increasingly in wide fields of spectrum application since ICA is able to extract unknown components of a mixture from spectra. We focus on application of ICA for separating independent sources and predicting each composition using extracted components. The theory of ICA is introduced and an application to a metal surface spectra data will be described, where subsequent analysis using non-negative least square method is performed to predict composition ratio of each sample. Furthermore, some simulation experiments are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.

본 논문에서는 기존의 정보량(Entropy) 기반 클러스터링 기법을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로서 퍼지 정보량을 이용하였다 가우시안 혼합 모델을 이용하면, 프로토타입의 목적 함수를 이용하는 클러스터링 기법보다 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있고, Parameter의 조정이 요구되지 않는다. 그러나, 가우시안 혼합 모델의 사용은 주어진 패턴 집합을 클러스터링하는데 계산량의 증가를 초래하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 가우시안 혼합 모델의 정형화에 요구되는 계산량을 감소시키는 방법을 제시한다 또한 퍼지정보량(Fuzzy Entropy)을 적용하여 기존의 정보량 기반의 클러스터링 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

For exact classification of the defect, good feature selection and classifier is necessary. In this paper, various features such as brightness features, shape features and statistical features are stated and Bayes classifier using Gaussian mixture model is used as classifier. Also feature extraction method based on spectral graph theory is presented. Experimental result shows that feature extraction method using graph Laplacian result in better performance than the result using PCA.

This paper presents the improvement of the SCHMM using discrete VQ and One-Pass algorithm for keywords recognition in Korean continuous speech. The SCHMM using discrete VQ is a simple model that is composed of a variable mixture gaussian probability density function with dynamic mixture number. One-Pass algorithm is improved such that recognition rates are enhanced by fathoming any undesirable semisyllable with the low likelihood and the high duration penalty, and computation time is reduced by testing only the frame which is dissimilar to the previously testd frame. In recognition experiments for speaker-dependent case, the improved One-Pass algorithm has shown recognition rates as high as 99.7% and has reduced compution time by about 30% compared with the currently abailable one-pass algorithm.

This paper describes the emotion recognition algorithm using HMM(Hidden Markov Model) method. The relation between the mechanic system and the human has just been unilateral so far. This is the why people don't want to get familiar with multi-service robots of today. If the function of the emotion recognition is granted to the robot system, the concept of the mechanic part will be changed a lot. Pitch and Energy extracted from the human speech are good and important factors to classify the each emotion (neutral, happy, sad and angry etc.), which are called prosodic features. HMM is the powerful and effective theory among several methods to construct the statistical model with characteristic vector which is made up with the mixture of prosodic features

One of major problems in speech recognition is performance degradation due to the mismatch between the training and test environments. Recently, Stereo-based Piecewise LInear Compensation for Environments (SPLICE), which is frame-based bias removal algorithm for cepstral enhancement using stereo training data and noisy speech model as a mixture of Gaussians, was proposed and showed good performance in noisy environments. In this paper, we propose several methods to improve the conventional SPLICE. First we apply Cepstral Mean Subtraction (CMS) as a preprocessor to SPLICE, instead of applying it as a postprocessor. Secondly, to compensate residual distortion after SPLICE processing, two-stage SPLICE is proposed. Thirdly we employ phonetic information for training SPLICE model. According to experiments on the Aurora 2 database, proposed method outperformed the conventional SPLICE and we achieved a 50% decrease in word error rate over the Aurora baseline system.

Independent component analysis (ICA)는 주어진 데이터를 통계적으로 독립인 요소들의 선형 결합으로 표시하는 통계학적 방법이다. ICA의 주요한 적용분야중의 하나는 source들의 선형 mixture로부터 어떠한 서전 정보도 없는 상태에서 원래의 통계학적 독립변수인 source를 복원하는 blind separation이다. ICA와 source separation을 위한 다양한 신경 학습 알고리듬이 제시되어왔다. ICA의 학습 알고리듬에서는 비선형 함수가 중요한 역할을 한다. 이 논문에서는 generalized 가우시안 prior를 도입하여 다양한 확률분포를 갖는 source들의 mixture를 분리하는 효율적인 source separation 알고리즘을 제시한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방법의 우수성을 살펴본다.
