This experimental study shows that, in reading of the English isolated words that are enumerated, the releasing of the word-final stop is employed for signaling enumeration in company with the well-known intonational pattern for it. Furthermore, this study tries to find the aspects of the releasing of the stops in the word-final positions, focusing on the association of the stop releasing/nonreleasing with i) the POA (Place of Articulation) distinction of the word-final stop, ii) the various qualities of the vowel before the final stop, and iii) the voice distinction of the stop in the word-final position.

This study concerns the constraints of English Poetic Fixed Meter. In English poems, the metrical pattern doesn't always match the linguistic stress on the lines. These mismatches are found differently among the poets. For the lexical stress mismatched with the weak metrical position, ${\ast}W{\Rightarrow}$ Strength is established by the concept of the strong syllable. The peaked monosyllabic word mismatched with weak metrical position is divided according to which side of the boundary of a phonological domain it is adjacent to. In most poets, ${\ast}$Peak] is ranked higher than ${\ast}$[Peak. In Shakespeare, Adjacency Constraint is ranked higher than ${\ast}$Peak].

본 논문은 자동차의 편의성 및 안전성의 동시 확보를 위하여, 보조적 스위치의 조작없이 상시 음성의 입,출력이 가능하도록 하며, band pass filter를 이용하여 잡음환경에서 자동으로 정확하게 음성구간 검출(End Point Detection)을 하게 하였다. Reference Pattern은 Dynamic Multi-Section(DMS)[1] 모델을 사용하였고 차량의 속도에 따라 자동으로 잡음환경에 강인한 모델을 선택하도록 하였으며, 음성의 특징 파라미터와 인식 알고리즘은 Perceptual Linear Predictive(PLP) 13차와 One Stage Dynamic Programming(OSDP)를 사용하였다. 주행중인 자동차 환경(30~70km/h)에서 자주 사용되는 차량제어 명령 33개에 대하여 화자독립 92.98%, 화자종속 94.44% 인식율을 구하였다. 또한 주행중인 차량에서 카폰, 핸드폰 사용으로 인한 사고를 줄이기 위하여 음성으로 전화를 걸 수 있도록 하는 Voice Dialing 기능도 구현하였다.

This study investigated the articulatory and acoustic correlates of Korean /1/. In particular, direct comparison between Korean /1/ and English /1/ was made to evaluate the current assumption about Korean /1/ such that Korean /1/ is phonetically similar to English clear /1/. The present study revealed that Korea /1/ is different from English /1/ in several properties. First, F2 for Korean /1/ is around 600-700 Hz higher than F2 for English /1/. The overall higher F2 for Korean /1/ is attributed to the fact that Korean /1/ involves tongue body raising while it lacks a dorsal gesture. Second, F3 value for Korean /1/ becomes significantly lower when the preceeding vowel is a back vowel. This kind of variable F3 pattern was not observed in English /1/. The current study relates the F3 lowering to the retroflexion of Korean /1/ in the back vowel context.

In Korean, it has been well Down that vowel length plays an important role in differentiating word meanings. But the distinction between long and short vowels is often ignored by young generation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the change in rhythm patterns. In addition, it is also examined whether this change has resulted in the differences in prosodic features between young and old groups. This study is based on H. B. Lee's 'rhythm pattern theory' Based on his assumption, it is suggested that the loss of original vowel length has caused the place of accent to move from the first to the second syllable.

본 논문에서는 음성인식 알고리즘인 HMM을 사용하여 Windows 환경에서 온라인으로 사용할 수 있는 음성인식 게임“Voice Illust Magic”개발에 관하여 소개한다. 사용자와 컴퓨터가 상호작용(Interaction)할 수 있는 매체를 마우스와 키보드뿐만 아니라 게임에 필요한 명령어를 음성인식으로 실행함으로써 정보전달이 매우 효과적으로 이루어져 사용자가 접근하기 쉽고 편리하게 되었으며 의사전달 효율을 높일 수 있었다. 음성인식 과정을 온라인으로 마이크를 통해 들어온 음성을 자동으로 끝점을 검출한 후, Mel-Cepstrum을 추출하여 Word 단위의 reference HMM과 비교하여 최적의 model이 선택되면, 윈도우즈에게 메시지를 보내어 마우스나 키보드가 동작하는 것과 마찬가지로 실행되도록 하였다. 또한, 입력 음성을 모든 reference pattern과 비교하는 것이 아니라 그 상황에 적용될 수 있는 표준 패턴을 한정함으로써 탐색시간을 줄일 수 있었으며 높은 인식률을 나타내었다.

This is case report of true class III malocclusion with macroglossia is corrected by glossectomy in 13 years female patient. After orthodontic treatment, the patient is bound to glossectomy because the corrected condition is relapsed to the previous condition due to relatively enlarged tongue compared with the original dental arch. By the interpretation of the cephalogram and model analysis, it is approved that the growth pattern and direction are normal range and mandible is located anterioly to the cranium. The results are follows: 1. We could treat the true Cl III malocclusion. 2. We could prevent the relapse of the treated condition by the surgical intervention, such as partial glossectomy. 3. Sensory, speech, swallowing and so other functions after the operation have been with in normal limit without any serious complications or seguellae.

This paper proposes an algorithm for EEG pattern classification using the Multi-template method, which is a kind of speaker adaptation method for speech signal processing. 10-channel EEG signals are collected in various environments. The linear prediction coefficients of the EEGs are extracted as the feature parameter of human sensibility. The human sensibility classification algorithm is developed using neural networks. Using EEGs of comfortable or uncomfortable seats, the proposed algorithm showed about 75% of classification performance in subject-independent test. In the tests using EEG signals according to room temperature and humidity variations, the proposed algorithm showed good performance in tracking of pleasantness changes and the subject-independent tests produced similar performances with subject-dependent ones.

Neural networks has widely been be used for several practical applications such as speech, image processing, and pattern recognition. Thus, a approach to the voltage-controlled current source in areas of neural networks, the key features of CNN in locally connected only to its netighbors. Because the architecture of the interconnection elements between cells in very simple and space invariant, CNNs are suitable for VLSI implementation. In this paper, processing element of digital programmable CNN with variable template memory was implemented using CMOS circuit. CNN PE circuit was designe dto control gain for obtaining the optimal solutions in the CNN output. Performance of operation for 4*4 CNN circuit applied for fixed template and variable template analyzed with the result of simulation using HSPICE tool. As a result of simulations, the proposed variable template method verified to improve performance of operation in comparison with the fixed template method.

The paper deals with experimental results which was performed to investigate the characteristics of Korean lexical processing and representation of morphemes involved in Korean noun and verb Eojeols. The investigation is also related with the 'English past tense debate' which deals with human mental computation. Experiments using fMRI methods, show that Korean noun Eojeols and both regular and irregular verb Eojeols show a similar activation pattern. Thus, the results indicate that the morphological processing in Korean noun and verb Eojeols are performed quite differently than the Indo-European morphological processing.
