The part-of-speech determination is necessary for resolving the part-of-speech ambiguity in English-Korean machine translation. The part-of-speech ambiguity causes high parsing complexity and makes the accurate translation difficult. In order to solve the problem, the resolution of the part-of-speech ambiguity must be performed after the lexical analysis and before the parsing. This paper proposes the CatAmRes model, which resolves the part-of-speech ambiguity, and compares the performance with that of other part-of-speech tagging methods. CatAmRes model determines the part-of-speech using the probability distribution from Bayesian network training and the statistical information, which are based on the Penn Treebank corpus. The proposed CatAmRes model consists of Calculator and POSDeterminer. Calculator calculates the degree of appropriateness of the partof-speech, and POSDeterminer determines the part-of-speech of the word based on the calculated values. In the experiment, we measure the performance using sentences from WSJ, Brown, IBM corpus.

Korean part-of-speech taggers decompose a compound morpheme into unit morphemes and attach part-of-speech tags. So, here is a disadvantage that part-of-speech for morphemes are over-classified in detail and complex word types are generated depending on the purpose of the taggers. When using the part-of-speech tagger for keyword extraction in deep learning based language processing, it is not required to decompose compound particles and verb-endings. In this study, the part-of-speech tagging problem is simplified by using a Head-Tail tokenization technique that divides only two types of tokens, a lexical morpheme part and a grammatical morpheme part that the problem of excessively decomposed morpheme was solved. Part-of-speech tagging was attempted with a statistical technique and a deep learning model on the Head-Tail tokenized corpus, and the accuracy of each model was evaluated. Part-of-speech tagging was implemented by TnT tagger, a statistical-based part-of-speech tagger, and Bi-LSTM tagger, a deep learning-based part-of-speech tagger. TnT tagger and Bi-LSTM tagger were trained on the Head-Tail tokenized corpus to measure the part-of-speech tagging accuracy. As a result, it showed that the Bi-LSTM tagger performs part-of-speech tagging with a high accuracy of 99.52% compared to 97.00% for the TnT tagger.

Korean is an agglutinative language, and one or more morphemes are combined to form a single word. Part-of-speech tagging method separates each morpheme from a word and attaches a part-of-speech tag. In this study, we propose a new Korean part-of-speech tagging method based on the Head-Tail tokenization technique that divides a word into a lexical morpheme part and a grammatical morpheme part without decomposing compound words. In this method, the Head-Tail is divided by the syllable boundary without restoring irregular deformation or abbreviated syllables. Korean part-of-speech tagger was implemented using the Head-Tail tokenization and deep learning technique. In order to solve the problem that a large number of complex tags are generated due to the segmented tags and the tagging accuracy is low, we reduced the number of tags to a complex tag composed of large classification tags, and as a result, we improved the tagging accuracy. The performance of the Head-Tail part-of-speech tagger was experimented by using BERT, syllable bigram, and subword bigram embedding, and both syllable bigram and subword bigram embedding showed improvement in performance compared to general BERT. Part-of-speech tagging was performed by integrating the Head-Tail tokenization model and the simplified part-of-speech tagging model, achieving 98.99% word unit accuracy and 99.08% token unit accuracy. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the performance of part-of-speech tagging improved when the maximum token length was limited to twice the number of words.

In this paper i offer a new part-of-speech tagging method for Korean, it can solve difficulty of statistical data acquisition and ambiguities due to same part-of-speech stream input and make good use of the Corpus. This method can solve that the corpus don't have huge. This method uses pattern information about part-of-speech among eojols and constraint-rules in order to perform part-of-speech tagging. The Constraint-rule is used to select appropriate part-of-speech pattern.

source of speech signal is actually composed of combination of periodic and aperiodic components, although it is often modeled to either one of those. In the paper an experiment which can separate periodic and aperiodic components from speech source. Linear predictive residual signal was used as a approximated vocal source the original speech to obtain the estimated aperiodic part. Iterative extrapolation method was used to compute the aperiodic part.

Natural language processing has several ambiguity problems, and English-Korean machine translation especially includes those problems to be solved in each translation step. This paper focuses on resolving part-of-speech ambiguity of English words in order to improve the efficiency of English analysis, which is in part of efforts for developing practical English-Korean machine translation system. In order to improve the efficiency of the English analysis, the part-of-speech determination must be fast and accurate for being integrated with machine translation system. This paper proposes the probabilistic models for part-of-speech determination. We use Penn Treebank corpus in building the probabilistic models. In experiment, we present the performance of the part-of-speech determination models and the efficiency improvement of the machine translation system by the proposed part-of-speech determination method.

This paper presents the part-of-speech set which is highly efficient at knowledge-based word sense disambiguation for Korean nouns. 174,000 sentences extracted for test set from Sejong semantic tagged corpus whose sense is based on Standard korean dictionary. We disambiguate selected nouns in test set using glosses and examples in Standard Korean dictionary. 15 part-of-speeches which give the best performance for all test set and 17 part-of-speeches which give the best performance for accuracy average of selected nouns are selected. We obtain 12% more performance by those part-of-speech sets than by full 45 part-of-speech set.

In this paper, we carried out recognition experiments for noisy speech having various levels of car noise and output of an audio system using the speech interface. The speech interface consists of three parts: pre-processing, acoustic echo canceller, post-processing. First, a high pass filter is employed as a pre-processing part to remove some engine noises. Then, an echo canceller implemented by using an FIR-type filter with an NLMS adaptive algorithm is used to remove the music or speech coming from the audio system in a car. As a last part, the MMSE-STSA based speech enhancement method is applied to the out of the echo canceller to remove the residual noise further. For recognition experiments, we generated test signals by adding music to the car noisy speech from Aurora 2 database. The HTK-based continuous HMM system is constructed for a recognition system. Experimental results show that the proposed speech interface is very promising for robust speech recognition in a noisy car environment.

This paper investigates the use of Fuzzy vector quantizer(FVQ) in speech synthesis. To compress speech data, we employ K-means algorithm to design codebook and then FVQ technique is used to analysize input speech vectors based on the codebook in an analysis part. In FVQ synthesis part, analysis data vectors generated in FVQ analysis is used to synthesize the speech. We have fined that synthesized speech quality depends on Fuzziness values in FVQ, and the optimum fuzziness values maximized synthesized speech SQNR are related with variance values of input speech vectors. This approach is tested on a sentence, and we compare synthesized speech by a convensional VQ with synthesized speech by a FVQ with optimum Fuzziness values.

In this paper, I examined the types of the Korean compound word exclamations based on the internal structure, and the factors that determine the whole composition of them as exclamation. For these purposes, I consider all of the compound word excerpts listed in 『Standard Korean Language Dictionary』 as object in this paper. Especially, I focused on the word-type compound exclamations that composed of exclamations. First, there were two types in 'combined type of exclamation not used as another part of speech'; the type in which the leading and trailing elements are both exclamations, and the type in which the preceding element is an exclamation. Second, there were three types in 'type with exclamation used for other parts of speech'; the type that the preceding element is an exclamation used as another part of speech, the type that the both preceding element and trailing element are an exclamation used as another part of speech, and the type that the trailing element is an exclamation used as another part of speech. Third, there were two types in 'type that contains components whose grammatical categories are unclear'; the type of the preceding element whose grammatical category is unclear, and the type of the trailing element whose grammatical category is unclear. I examined the internal structure of these types of the compound exclamations by focusing on the meaning of the components. And as a result, I have examined the parts of these compound exclamations.
