In continuous vocabulary recognition system by statistical method vocabulary recognition to be performed using probability distribution it also modeling using phoneme clustering for based sample probability parameter presume. When vocabulary search that low recognition rate problem happened in express vocabulary result from presumed probability parameter by not defined phoneme and insert phoneme and it has it's bad points of gaussian model the accuracy unsecure for one clustering modeling. To improve suggested probability distribution mixed gaussian model to optimized for based resemble Euclidean and Bhattacharyya distance measurement method mixed clustering modeling that system modeling for be searching phoneme probability model in clustered model. System performance as a result of represent vocabulary dependence recognition rate of 98.63%, vocabulary independence recognition rate of 97.91%.

Established continuous vocabulary recognition system improved recognition rate by using decision tree based tying modeling method. However, since system model cannot support the retrieve of phoneme data, it is hard to secure the accuracy. In order to improve this problem, we remodeled a system that could retrieve probabilistic model from continuous vocabulary clustering model to phoneme unit. Therefore in this paper showed 95.88%of recognition rate in system performance.

In continuous vocabulary recognition system by probability distribution of clustering method has used model parameters of an advance estimate to generated each contexts for phoneme data surely needed but it has it's bad points of gaussian model the accuracy unsecure of composed model for phoneme data. To improve suggested probability distribution mixed gaussian model to optimized that phoneme data search supported configuration thread system. This paper of configuration thread system has used extension facet classification user phoneme configuration thread information offered gaussian model the accuracy secure. System performance as a result of represent vocabulary dependence recognition rate of 98.31%, vocabulary independence recognition rate of 97.63%.

In this paper, we propose a variable vocabulary word recognizer that is able to recognize new words not exist in training data. For the variable vocabulary word recognizer, we must have an on-line lexicon generator to transform new candidate words to the corresponding pronunciation sequences of phones without any large lexicon table. And, we also must make outputs. In order to model the phones and allophones reliably, we define Korean allophones by triphone clustering based on phonetic knowledge of preceding and succeeding phones of each phone. Using the clustering method, we generated 1,548 allophones with POW (Phonetically Optimized Words) 3,848 word DB. We evaluated the proposed word recognizer with POW 3,848 DB, PBW (Phonetically Balanced Words) 445 DB, and 244 word DB in hotel reservation task. Experimental results showed word recognition accuracy of 79.6% for the POW DB corresponding to vocabulary-dependent case, 79.4% in case of 445 word lexicon and 88.9% in case of 100 word lexicon for the PBW DB, and 71.4% for the hotel reservation DB corresponding to vocabulary-independent case.

In this paper, we develop a keyword spotting system using vocabulary-independent speech recognition technique, and investigate several non-keyword modeling and post-processing methods to improve its performance. In order to model non-keyword speech segments, monophone clustering and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) are considered. We employ likelihood ratio scoring method for the post-processing schemes to verify the recognition results, and filler models, anti-subword models and N-best decoding results are considered as an alternative hypothesis for likelihood ratio scoring. We also examine different methods to construct anti-subword models. We evaluate the performance of our system on the automatic telephone exchange service task. The results show that GMM-based non-keyword modeling yields better performance than that using monophone clustering. According to the post-processing experiment, the method using anti-keyword model based on Kullback-Leibler distance and N-best decoding method show better performance than other methods, and we could reduce more than 50% of keyword recognition errors with keyword rejection rate of 5%.

In this paper, we implement a new vocabulary-independent speech recognition system that uses CV, VCCV, VC recognition unit. Since these recognition units are extracted in the trowel region of syllable, the segmentation is easy and robust. And in the case of not existing VCCV unit, the units are replaced by combining VC and CV semi-syllable model. Clustering of vowel group and applying combination rule to the substitution model in the case of not existing of VCCV model lead to 5.2% recognition performance improvement from 90.4% (Model A) to 95.6% (Model C) in the first candidate. The recognition results that is 98.8% recognition rate in the second candidate confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In an effort to improve speech recognition, we investigated the effect of the number of clusters. In usual LBG clustering, the number of codebook clusters is doubled on each bifurcation and hence cannot be chosen arbitrarily in a natural way. To have the number of clusters at our control, we combined adaptive resonance theory (ART2) with LBG and perform the clustering in two stages. The codebook thus formed was used in subsequent processing of fuzzy vector quantization (FVQ) and HMM for speech recognition tests. Compared to conventional LBG, our method was shown to reduce the best recognition error rate by 0${\sim$}0.9% depending on the vocabulary size. The result also showed that between 400 and 800 would be the optimal number of clusters in the limit of small and large vocabulary speech recognitions of isolated words, respectively.

DNN error is small compared to the conventional speech recognition system, DNN is difficult to parallel training, often the amount of calculations, and requires a large amount of data obtained. In this paper, we generate a phoneme unit to estimate the GMM parameters with each phoneme model parameters from the GMM to solve the problem efficiently. And it suggests ways to improve performance through clustering for a specific vocabulary to effectively apply them. To this end, using three types of word speech database was to have a DB build vocabulary model, the noise processing to extract feature with Warner filters were used in the speech recognition experiments. Results using the proposed method showed a 97.9% recognition rate in speech recognition. In this paper, additional studies are needed to improve the problems of improved over fitting.

In Speech recognition system, there is a problem with phoneme in the model training and it cause a stored mode regeneration process which come into being appear time and more costs. In this paper, we propose the methode of likely phoneme model schema using decision tree clustering. Proposed system has a robust and correct sound model which system apply the decision tree clustering methode form generate model, therefore this system reduce the regeneration process and provide a retrieve the phoneme unit in probability model. Also, this proposed system provide a additional likely phoneme model and configured robust correct sound model. System performance as a result of represent vocabulary dependence recognition rate of 98.3%, vocabulary independence recognition rate of 98.4%.

본 논문은 어휘독립(Vocabulary-Independent) 환경에서 별도의 훈련과정 없이 인식대상 어휘를 추가 및 변경할 수 있는 가변어휘(Variable Vocabulary) 음성인식에 관한 연구를 다룬다. 가변어휘 인식은 처음에 대용량 음성 데이터베이스(DB)로 음소모델을 훈련하고 인식대상 어휘가 결정되면 발음사전에 의거하여 음소모델을 연결함으로써 별도의 훈련과정 없이 인식대상 어휘를 변경 및 추가할 수 있다. 문맥 종속형(Context-Dependent) 음소 모델인 triphone을 사용하여 인식실험을 하였고, 인식성능의 비교를 위해 어휘종속 모델을 별도로 구성하여 인식실험을 하였다. Unseen triphone 문제와 훈련 DB의 부족으로 인한 모델 파라메터의 신뢰성 저하를 방지하기 위해 state-tying 방법 중 음성학적 지식에 기반을 둔 tree-based clustering(TBC) 기법[1]을 도입하였다. Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient(MFCC)와 대수에너지에 기반을 둔 3 가지 음성특징 벡터를 사용하여 인식 실험을 병행하였고, 연속 확률분포를 가지는 Hidden Markov Model(HMM) 기반의 고립단어 인식시스템을 구현하였다. 인식 실험에는 22 개 부서명 DB[3]를 사용하였다. 실험결과 어휘독립 환경에서 최고 98.4%의 인식률이 얻어졌으며, 어휘종속 환경에서의 인식률 99.7%에 근접한 성능을 보였다.
