Background: Accurate assessment of disease progression requires proper understanding of natural disease process which is often hidden and unobservable. For this purpose, disease status should be clearly detected. But in most diseases it is not possible to detect such status. This study, therefore, aims to present a model which both investigates the unobservable disease process and considers the error probability in diagnosis of disease states. Materials and Methods: Data from 330 patients with gastric cancer undergoing surgery at the Iran Cancer Institute from 1995 to 1999 were analyzed. Moreover, to estimate and assess the effect of demographic, diagnostic and clinical factors as well as medical and post-surgical variables on transition rates and the probability of misdiagnosis of relapse, a hidden Markov multi-state model was employed. Results: Classification errors of patients in alive state without a relapse ($e_{21}$) and with a relapse ($e_{12}$) were 0.22 (95% CI: 0.04-0.63) and 0.02 (95% CI: 0.00-0.09), respectively. Only variables of age and number of renewed treatments affected misdiagnosis of relapse. In addition, patient age and distant metastasis were among factors affecting the occurrence of relapse (state1${\rightarrow}$state2) while the number of renewed treatments and the type and extent of surgery had a significant effect on death hazard without relapse (state2${\rightarrow}$state3)and death hazard with relapse (state2${\rightarrow}$state3). Conclusions: A hidden Markov multi-state model provides the possibility of estimating classification error between different states of disease. Moreover, based on this model, factors affecting the probability of this error can be identified and researchers can be helped with understanding the mechanisms of classification error.

본 논문에서는 한국어 음성 데이터를 대상으로 HM-Net(Hidden Markov Network) 음성인식 시스템의 성능평가를 수행하였다. 음향모델 작성은 음성인식에서 널리 사용되고 있는 통계적인 모델링 방법인 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)을 개량한 HM-Net을 도입하였다. HM-Net은 기존의 SSS(Successive State Splitting) 알고리즘을 개량한 PDT(Phonetic Decision Tree)-SSS 알고리즘에 의해 문맥방향과 시간방향의 상태분할을 수행하여 생성되는데, 특히 문맥방향 상태분할의 경우 학습 음성데이터에 출현하지 않는 문맥정보를 효과적으로 표현하기 위해 음소결정트리를 채용하고 있으며, 시간방향 상태분할의 경우 학습 음성데이터에서 각 음소별 지속시간 정보를 효과적으로 표현하기 위한 상태분할을 수행하며, 마지막으로 파라미터의 공유를 통해 triphone 형태의 최적인 모델 네트워크를 작성하게 된다. 인식에 사용된 알고리즘은 음소 및 단어인식의 경우에는 One-Pass Viterbi 빔 탐색을 사용하며 트리 구조 형태의 사전과 phone/word-pair 문법을 채용하고 있다. 연속음성인식의 경우에는 단어 bigram과 단어 trigram 언어모델과 목구조 형태의 사전을 채용한 Multi-Pass 빔 탐색을 사용하고 있다. 전체적으로 본 논문에서는 다양한 조건에서 HM-Net 음성인식 시스템의 성능평가를 수행하였으며, 지금까지 소개된 음성인식 시스템과 비교하여 매우 우수한 인식성능을 보임을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

논문에서는 연속HMM(Continuos Hidden Markov Model)을 이용하여 실시간으로 발매기 명령어(314개 역명)를 인식 할 수 있도록 음성인식 시스템을 구현하였다. 특징 벡터로 39 MFCC를 사용하였으며, 인식률 향상을 위하여 895개의 tied-state 트라이폰 음소 모델을 구성하였다. 시스템 성능 평가 결과 다중 화자 종속 인식률은 99.24%, 다중화자 독립 인식률은 98.02%의 인식률을 나타내었으며, 실제 노이즈가 있는 환경에서 다중 화자 독립 실험의 경우 93.91%의 인식률을 나타내었다.

Many construction projects involve a plethora of safety-related problems that can cause loss of productivity, diminished revenue, time overruns, and legal challenges. Incorporating data collection and analytics methods can help overcome the root causes of many such problems. However, in a dynamic construction workplace collecting data from a large number of resources is not a trivial task and can be costly, while many contractors lack the motivation to incorporate technology in their activities. In this research, an Android-based mobile application, Preemptive Construction Site Safety (PCS2) is developed and tested for real-time location tracking, trajectory prediction, and prevention of potential collisions between workers and site hazards. PCS2 uses ubiquitous mobile technology (smartphones) for positional data collection, and a robust trajectory prediction technique that couples hidden Markov model (HMM) with risk-taking behavior modeling. The effectiveness of PCS2 is evaluated in field experiments where impending collisions are predicted and safety alerts are generated with enough lead time for the user. With further improvement in interface design and underlying mathematical models, PCS2 will have practical benefits in large scale multi-agent construction worksites by significantly reducing the likelihood of proximity-related accidents between workers and equipment.
