한국통신의 음성인식 시스템에서 사용하는 기본 음소의 효율적인 설정을 위하여 음소인식률을 구하고 유사하게 인식되는 음소들의 집합인 cohort set을 구하여, 인식률을 최대로 하는 기본음소 집합을 찾는 방법이다. 실험 방식은 기본음소 59개로부터 시작하여 음소를1개씩 줄여가면서 최대 음소 인식률이 나오도록 하였다. 실험 결과 최고 성능을 나타내는 기본 음소 set을 구할 수 있었다.

This paper is a study on the recognition of Korean proverb using neural network and Markov model. The neural network uses, at the stage of training neurons, features such as the rate of zero crossing, short-term energy and PLP-Cepstrum, covering a time of 300ms long. Markov models were generated by the recognized phoneme strings. The recognition of words and proverbs using Markov models have been carried out. Experimental results show that phoneme and word recognition rates are 81. 2%, 94.0% respectively for Korean proverb recognition experiments.

In this paper we used Support Vector Machines(SVMs) recently proposed as the loaming method, one of Artificial Neural Network, to divide continuous speech into phonemes, an initial, medial, and final sound, and then, performed continuous speech recognition from it. Decision boundary of phoneme is determined by algorithm with maximum frequency in a short interval. Recognition process is performed by Continuous Hidden Markov Model(CHMM), and we compared it with another phoneme divided by eye-measurement. From experiment we confirmed that the method, SVMs, we proposed is more effective in an initial sound than Gaussian Mixture Models(GMMs).

In order to cluster the Input pattern neatly, some neural network modified from Kohonen's self organizing feature map is introduced and Korean phoneme recognition experiments are performed using the modified self organizing feature map(MSOFM) and the auditory model.

Most Korean students who have not studied Japanese pronounced Japanese phoneme /k/ as /kk/ in Korean, regardless of sex. But analysis considering many phoneme environments gives us different results. Although the middle syllable which comes after 'the joon' does not show any specific distinctions, the rest cases show that the half of the subjects pronounced it as /kk/ and the other half as /k/. To draw concrete conclusions, further studies must be done.

There has been increasing interest in English-to-Korean transliteration recently. Previous ,works are related to a direct method like $\rightarrow$Korean graphemes> and a pivot method like $\rightarrow$English phoneme$\rightarrow$Korean graphemes>. Though most of the previous works focus on the direct method, transliteration, however, is a phonetic process rather than an orthographic one. In this point of view, we present an English-Korean transliteration model using grapheme and phoneme information. Unlike the previous works, our method uses phonetic information such as phonemes and their context. Moreover, we also use graphemes corresponding to phonemes. Our method shows about $60\%$ word accuracy.

Determining the similarity between two strings can be applied various area such as information retrieval, spell checker and spam filtering. Similarity calculation between Korean strings based on dynamic programming methods firstly requires a definition of the similarity between phonemes. However, existing methods have a limitation that they use manually set similarity scores. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically calculate inter-phoneme similarity from a given set of variant words using a PAM-like probabilistic model. Our proposed method first finds the pairs of similar words from a given word set, and derives derivation rules from text alignment results among the similar word pairs. Then, similarity scores are calculated from the frequencies of variations between different phonemes. As an experimental result, we show an improvement of 10.1%~14.1% and 8.1%~11.8% in terms of sensitivity compared with the simple match-mismatch scoring scheme and the manually set inter-phoneme similarity scheme, respectively, with a specificity of 77.2%~80.4%.

In this paper, study and experiments are performed for finding recognition unit fit which can be used in large vocabulary recognition system. Specifically, a phoneme that is currently used as recognition unit and a syllable in which Korean is well characterized are selected. From comparisons of recognition experiments, the study is performed whether a syllable can be considered as recognition unit of Korean recognition system. For report of an objective result of the comparison experiment, we collected speech data of a male speaker and processed them by hand-segmentation for phoneme boundary and labeling to construct speech database. And for training and recognition based on HMM, we used HTK (HMM Tool Kit) 2.0 of commercial tool from Entropic Co. to experiment in same condition. We applied two HMM model topologies, 3 emitting state of 5 state and 6 emitting state of 8 state, in Continuous HMM on training of each recognition unit. We also used 3 sets of PBW (Phonetically Balanced Words) and 1 set of POW(Phonetically Optimized Words) for training and another 1 set of PBW for recognition, that is "Speaker Dependent Medium Vocabulary Size Recognition." Experiments result reports that recognition rate is 95.65% in phoneme unit, 94.41% in syllable unit and decoding time of recognition in syllable unit is faster by 25% than in phoneme.

In this paper, we have constructed phoneme discriminant filters [PDF] according to the linear discriminant function. These discriminant filters do not follow the heuristic rules by the experts but the mathematical methods in iterative learning. Proposed system. is based on the piecewise linear classifier and error correction learning method. The segmentation of speech and the classification of phoneme are carried out simutaneously by the PDF. Because each of them operates independently, some speech intervals may have multiple outputs. Therefore, we introduce the unified coefficients by the output unification process. But sometimes the output has a region which shows no response, or insensitive. So we propose time windows and median filters to remove such problems. We have trained this system with the 549 monosyllables uttered 3 times by 3 male speakers. After we detect the endpoint of speech signal using threshold value and zero crossing rate, the vowels and consonants are separated by the PDF, and then selected phoneme passes through the following PDF. Finally this system unifies the outputs for competitive region or insensitive area using time window and median filter.

There are two method of error correction in vocabulary recognition system. one error pattern matting base on method other vocabulary mean pattern base on method. They are a failure while semantic of key-word problem for error correction. In improving, in this paper is propose system of key-word error correction using algorithm of syllable restoration. System of key-word error correction by processing of semantic parse through recognized phoneme meaning. It's performed restore by algorithm of syllable restoration phoneme apply fluctuation before word. It's definitely parse of key-word and reduced of unrecognized. Find out error correction rate using phoneme likelihood and confidence for system parse. When vocabulary recognition perform error correction for error proved vocabulary. system performance comparison as a result of recognition improve represent 2.3% by method using error pattern learning and error pattern matting, vocabulary mean pattern base on method.
