Text-to-Speech 시스템에서 자연스럽게 음성을 합성하기 위해서는 운율과 길이 에 대한 처리가 선행되어야 한다. 이를 위해서, 자연어 처리에 의해 분석된 문장들에 대해 억양 규칙을 적용한 후, 반복적인 실험을 통해 운율 및 길이 정보를 추출하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 정보를 이용하여 Text-to-Speech 시스템에서 자연성을 향상 시 킬 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 본 논문에서 제안하고 구현한 무제한 Text- to-Speech 시스템이 이러한 정보들을 사용하지 않는 시스템과 비교해서 더 자연스럽게 문장들을 합성해 낸다는 것을 보였다.

In wireless sensor network (WSN) environments, environmental noises are generated by, for example, small passing animals, crickets chirping or foliage blowing and will interfere target detection if the noises are higher than the sensor threshold value. For accurate tracking by acoustic WSNs, these environmental noises should be filtered out before initiating track. This paper presents the effect of environmental noises on target tracking and proposes a new algorithm for the noise mitigation in acoustic WSNs. We find that our noise mitigation algorithm works well even for targets with sensing range shorter than the sensor separation as well as with longer sensing ranges. It is also found that noise duration at each sensor affects the performance of the algorithm. A detection algorithm is also presented to account for the Doppler effect which is an important consideration for tracking higher-speed ground targets. For tracking, we use the weighted sensor position centroid to represent the target position measurement and use the Kalman filter (KF) for tracking.

본 논문은 소규모 시스템에 적용 가능한 한국어 문자-음성 변환 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 대한 연구를 목적으로 한다. 본 논문에서 채택한 음성합성 방법은 파라메터 합성법으로서 LPC(linear Predictive Coding)계열의 PARCOR(PARtial autoCORrelation) 계수를 음향 파라메터로 사용하였으며, 음성합성 단위로는 가장 기본적인 단위인 음소를 채택하였다. 합성 파라메터로는 유성음의 경우 PARCOR계수, 피치, 진폭을 무성음의 경우 잔차신호와 PARCOR계수를 사용하였다. 특히 무성음의 경우 LPC합성시 음질이 떨어진다는 단점이 있었으나, 본 논문에서는 LPC분석시 얻어지는 잔차신호를 무성음의 여기신호로 사용하여 단어 단위의 합성에서 60%의 이해도를 얻을 수 있었다. 합성결과 단어 단위의 합성에 적용 가능하였고, 문장단위의 합성을 위해서는 음소 지속시간 조절에 대한 연구가 진행되어야 할것이다. 본 논문의 구현환경으로는 486 PC상에서 음성의 입,출력을 위해 70[Hz]-4.5[KHz] 대역통과 필터와 증폭기, 그리고 TMS320C30 디지털 신호처리 프로세서를 장착한 DSP 보드를 사용하였다.

One of the most important scalability issues facing the current Internet is the rapidly increasing rate of BGP updates (BGP churn), to which route flap and path exploration are the two major contributors. Current countermeasures would either cause severe reachability loss or delay BGP convergence, and are becoming less attractive for the rising concern about routing convergence as the prevalence of Internet-based real time applications. Based on the observation that highly active prefixes usually repeatedly explore very few as-paths during path exploration, we propose a router-level mechanism, Path Exploration Aggregation (PEA), to scale BGP without either causing prefix unreachable or slowing routing convergence. PEA performs aggregation on the transient paths explored by a highly active prefix, and propagates the aggregated path instead to reduce the updates caused by as-path changes. Moreover, in order to avoid the use of unstable routes, PEA purposely prolongs the aggregated path via as-path prepending to make it less preferred in the perspective of downstream routers. With the BGP traces obtained from RouteViews and RIPE-RIS projects, PEA can reduce BGP updates by up to 63.1%, shorten path exploration duration by up to 53.3%, and accelerate the convergence 7.39 seconds on average per routing event.

This paper is on the development of computer software which can be utilized as a power system analysis tool for reliability assessment education. The input data of the developed software are so simple that even a non-expert easily understand how to use it. The software provides not only reliability indices but also their distributions, moreover, it provides the factors those effect the indices, which made the software even more useful for educational purpose. The developed software utilized Monte-carlo simulation based on the state duration sampling, therefore it can manage various probability distributions such as exponential, Weibull, gamma and lognormal distribution. Within the software, the parameters of the distribution can be decided automatically from its mean and variance, that is another advantage as an educational software.

It is a common practice to use a password in order to restrict access to information, or in a general sense, to assets. Right selection of the password is necessary for protecting the assets more effectively. Password finding/cracking try outs are performed for deciding which level of protection do used or prospective passwords offer, and password cracking algorithms are generated. These algorithms are becoming more intelligent and succeed in finding more number of passwords in less tries and in a shorter duration. In this study, the performances of possible password finding algorithms are measured, and a hybrid algorithm based on the performances of different password cracking algorithms is generated, and it is demonstrated that the performance of the hybrid algorithm is superior to the base algorithms.

A distributed virtual environment (DVE) allows multiple geographically distributed objects to interact concurrently in a shared virtual space. Most DVE applications use a non-replicated server architecture, which dynamically partitions a virtual space. An important issue in this system is effective scalability as the number of users increases. However, it is hard to provide suitable load balancing because of the unpredictable movements of users and hot-spot locations. Therefore, we propose a mechanism for sharing roles and separating service regions. The proposed mechanism reduces unnecessary partitions of short duration and supports efficient load balancing.

This paper delves into the comparative analysis of human interactions with AI agents based on the presence or absence of a facial representation, combined with the presence or absence of paralanguage voice elements. The "CASA (Computer-Are-Social-Actors)" paradigm posits that people perceive computers as social actors, not tools, unconsciously applying human norms and behaviors to computers. Paralanguages are speech voice elements such as pitch, tone, stress, pause, duration, speed that help to convey what a speaker is trying to communicate. The focus is on understanding how these elements collectively contribute to the generation of flow, intimacy, trust, and interactional enjoyment within the user experience. Subsequently, this study uses PLS analysis to explore the connections among all variables within the research framework. This paper has academic and practical implications.

Purpose - Benford's Law is a simple and effective auditor tool that detects fraud. This paper's purpose is to audit the efficiency of Benford's law, which uses a set of strange observations, certain numbers repeated over other numbers in the data set. Research design, data, and methodology - Benford's law was applied in numerical analysis. We can say that in addition to reducing the duration of the audit, the capacities of the audit were more robust. Results - Sample auditse valuated the ability of auditors to prove fraud and expand the use of analytical procedures in planning the audit. Additionally, the use of the analyses as part of the computer's internal controls helped to further improve the effectiveness of internal controls and reinforce them. Conclusions - Benford analysis should be carried out as appropriate. In subsequent studies, it can also be examined as a tool to reveal doubtful accounts. Numerical analysis of the data and a computer are necessary. Programs for data analysis in various applications such as auditing (SAS) and (ACL) and (Case Ware) and (IDEA) are available.
