This paper is the study for recognizing single vowels of speaker-independent, and we suppose a method of speech recognition using VQ(Vector Quantization)/NN(Neural Network). This method makes a VQ codebook, which is used for obtaining the observation sequence, and then claculates the probability value by comparing each codeword with the data, finally uses these probability values for the input value of the neural network. Korean signle vowels are selected for our recognition experiment, and ten male speakers pronounced eight single vowels ten times. We compare the performance of our method with those of fuzzy VQ/HMM and conventional VQ/NN According to the experiment result, the recognition rate by VQ/NN is 92.3%, by VQ/HMM using fuzzy is 93.8% and by VQ/NN using fuzzy is 95.7%. Therefore, it is shown that recognition rate of speech recognition by fuzzy VQ/NN is better than those of fuzzy VQ/HMM and conventional VQ/HMM because of its excellent learning ability.

본 논문에서는 비구조적인 의사결정문제를 효과적으로 해결하기 위하여 감독학습 인공신경망 모형과 비감독학습 인공신경망 모형을 결합한 하이브리드 인공신경망 모형인 HYNEN(HYbrid NEural Network) 모형을 제안한다. HYNEN모형은 주어진 자료를 클러스터화 하는 CNN(Clustering Neural Network)과 최종적인 출력을 제공하는 ONN(Output Neural Network)의 2단계로 구성되어 있다. 먼저 CNN에서는 주어진 자료로부터 적정한 퍼지규칙을 찾기 위하여 클러스터를 구성한다. 그리고 이러한 클러스터를 지식베이스로하여 ONN에서 최종적인 의사결정을 한다. CNN에서는 SOFM(Self Organizing Feature Map)과 LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization)를 클러스터를 만든 후 역전파학습 인공신경망 모형으로 이를 학습한다. ONN에서는 역전파학습 인공신경망 모형을 이용하여 각 클러스터의 내용을 학습한다. 제안된 HYNEN 모형을 우리나라 기업의 도산자료에 적용하여 그 결과를 다변량 판별분석법(MDA:Multivariate Discriminant Analysis)과 ACLS(Analog Concept Learning System) 퍼지 ARTMAP 그리고 기존의 역전파학습 인공신경망에 의한 실험결과와 비교하였다.

In an effort to the practical realization of phonetic typewriter, we concentrate on the classification of consonants in this paper. Since many of consonants do not show periodic behavior in time domain and thus the validity for Fourier analysis of them are not convincing, vector quantization (VQ) via LBG clustering is first performed to check if the feature vectors of MFCC and LPCC are ever meaningful for consonants. Experimental results of VQ showed that it's not easy to draw a clear-cut conclusion as to the validity of Fourier analysis for consonants. For classification purpose, two kinds of neural networks are employed in our study: self organizing map (SOM) and learning vector quantization (LVQ). Results from SOM revealed that some pairs of phonemes are not resolved. Though LVQ is free from this difficulty inherently, the classification accuracy was found to be low. This suggests that, as long as consonant classification by LVQ is concerned, other types of feature vectors than MFCC should be deployed in parallel. However, the combination of MFCC/LVQ was not found to be inferior to the classification of phonemes by language-moded based approach. In all of our work, LPCC worked worse than MFCC.

This paper presents a learning rule that weights more on data near decision boundary. This learning rule generates better decision boundary by reducing the effect of outliers on the decision boundary. The proposed learning rule is integrated into IAFC neural network. IAFC neural network is stable to maintain previous learning results and is plastic to learn new data. The performance of the proposed fuzzy neural network is compared with performances of LVQ neural network and backpropagation neural network. The results show that the performance of the proposed fuzzy neural network is better than those of LVQ neural network and backpropagation neural network.

This paper presents a method of detecting surface flaw of cold-rolled steel plate using image processing technique and a neural network classifier. The amount of steel plate surface image data is reduced by the wavelet transform. Features are extracted from the co-occurence matrix of the partial image corresponding to the low-frequency region, and a MLP neural network classifies into predetermined surface flaw categories. Simulations show the neural network classifier outperforms conventional vector quantization method.

Combat fatigues are issued to military personnel with ready made clothes. Ready made combat fatigues should be fitted to various bodies of military personnel within given standard size. This paper develops a standard sizes selection method in order to increase the coverage rate and fitness for combat fatigues. The method utilizes a generalized learning vector quantization(GLVQ) algorithm that is one of cluster algorithm in neural networks techniques. The GLVQ moves the standard sizes from initial arbitrary sizes to next sizes in order to increase more coverage rate and fitness. Finally, when it cannot increase those, algorithm is terminated. The results of this method show more coverage rate and fitness than those of the other methods.

In the compression methods widely used today, the image compression by VQ is the most popular and shows a good data compression ratio. Almost all the methods by VQ use the LBG algorithm that reads the entire image several times and moves code vectors into optimal position in each step. This complexity of algorithm requires considerable amount of time to execute. To overcome this time consuming constraint, we propose an enhanced self-organizing neural network for color images. VQ is an image coding technique that shows high data compression ratio. In this study, we improved the competitive learning method by employing three methods for the generation of codebook. The results demonstrated that compression ratio by the proposed method was improved to a greater degree compared to the SOM in neural networks.

Recently, advanced video coding techniques using segmentation technique have been actively researched as candidates for video coding of MPEG-4 standard. The conventional segmentation techniques are unsuitable for real-time process because they have sequential structure. In this paper, we propose a new image segmentation technique using competitive learning neural network for vector quantization. The proposed segmentation procedure consist of prefiltering, primary and secondary segmentation, and a small region ellimination process. Primary segmentation segments input image in detail. Secondary segmentation merges similar region using a repetitive FSCL(Frequency sensitive competive learning) neural network. In this process, it is possible to segment an image from high resolution to low resolution by adjusting the number of repetition. Finally, small regions are merged into adjacent regions. Experimental results show that the procedure described yields reconstructed images of reasonably acceptable quality at bit rates of 0. 25 - 0.3 bit/pel.

This paper evaluates the clustering performance of a neural network and a statistical method. Algorithms which are used in this paper are the GLVQ(Generalized Learning vector Quantization) for a neural method and the k-means algorithm fer a statistical clustering method. For comparison of two methods, we calculate the Rand's c statistics. As a result, the mean of c value obtained with the GLVQ is higher than that obtained with the k-means algorithm, while standard deviation of c value is lower. Experimental data sets were the Fisher's IRIS data and patterns extracted from handwritten numerals.

Until recently, the inductive loop detecters(ILD) have been used to collect a traffic information in a part of traffic manangment and control. The ILD is able to collect a various traffic data such as a occupancy time and non-occupancy time, traffic volume, etc. The occupancy time of these is very important information for traffic control algorithms, which is required a high accuracy. This accuracy may be improved by classifying a vehicle type with ILD. To classify a vehicle type based on a Analog Digital Converted data collect form ILD, this study used a typical and modifyed statistic method and General Learning Vector Quantization unsuperviser neural network model and a hybrid model of GLVQ and statistic method, As a result, the hybrid model of GLVQ neural network model is superior to the other methods.
