현재 유니코드 CJK 한자코드는 부수 기준 배열방식을 따르고 있어 한자의 한글음가를 기준으로 하는 우리의 문자생활 방식과 차이가 있으며, 우리나라 고유한자나 동형이음어, 이두문자, 그리고 이체자 관계 등을 모두 수록하고 있지 않아 정보시스템에 그대로 적용하기에는 무리가 있다. 따라서 유니코드 기반 정보시스템의 정확한 한자표현 및 한자검색을 위해서는 한자를 포함하는 자료에 대한 정확한 이해를 바탕으로 여러 가지 지원방안을 마련해야 한다. 이러한 측면에서 역사분야 정보검색시스템에서는 한글음가 및 한국에서만 사용되는 동형이음어 처리를 위한 한자-한글음가 사전, 본래 한자의 음가와 다르게 읽히는 한자를 위한 특수용어사전, 이형자와이체자를 위한 이체자사전, 그리고 유니코드 CJK 통합한자에 등록되어 있지 않은 한자를 위한 신출 한자목록을 지원하고 있다.

본 논문에서 음성신호를 사용하여 인간의 감정를 인식하기 위한 특징 파라메터 비교에 관하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 여러 가지 감정 상태에 따라 분류된 한국어 음성 데이터 베이스를 이용하여 얻어진 음성 신호의 피치와 에너지의 평균, 표준편차와 최대 값 등 통계적인 정보 나타내는 파라메터와 음소의 특성을 나타내는 MFCC 파라메터가 사용되었다. 파라메터들의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 문장 및 화자 독립 감정 인식 시스템을 구현하여 인식 실험을 수행하였다. 성능 평가를 위한 실험에서는 운율적 특징으로 피치와 에너지와 각각의 미분 값을 사용하였고, 음소의 특성을 나타내는 특징으로 MFCC와 그 미분 값을 사용하였다. 벡터 양자화 방법을 사용한 화자 및 문장 독립 인식 시스템을 사용한 실험 결과에서 MFCC와 델타 MFCC를 사용한 경우가 피치와 에너지를 사용한 방법보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

Database segmented and labeled up to phoneme level plays an important role in phonetic research and speech engineering. However, it usually requires manual segmentation and labeling, which is time-consuming and may also lead to inconsistent consequences. Automatic segmentation and labeling can be introduced to solve these problems. In this paper, we investigate a method to improve the performance of automatic segmentation and labeling system, where Spectral Variation Function(SVF), modification of silence model, and use of energy variations in postprocessing stage are considered. In this paper, SVF is applied in three ways: (1) addition to feature parameters, (2) postprocessing of phoneme boundaries, (3) restricting the Viterbi path so that the resulting phoneme boundaries may be located in frames around SVF peaks. In the postprocessing stage, positions with greatest energy variation during transitional period between silence and other phonemes were used to modify boundaries. In order to evaluate the performance of the system, we used 452 phonetically balanced word(PBW) database for training phoneme models and phonetically balanced sentence(PBS) database for testing. According to our experiments, 83.1% (6.2% improved) and 95.8% (0.9% improved) of phoneme boundaries were within 20ms and 40ms of the manually segmented boundaries, respectively.

In this paper, we consider the implementation of connected digit recognition system using tree structured lexicon model. To implement efficiently the fixed or variable length digit recognition system, finite state network (FSN) is required. We merge the word network algorithm that implements the FSN with lexical tree search algorithm that is used for general speech recognition system for fast search and large vocabulary systems. To find the efficient modeling of digit recognition system, we investigate some performance changes when the lexical tree search is applied.

본 논문에서는 음절이 잘 발달되어 있는 한국어에 대해서 신뢰할 수 있는 완전 자동화된 레이블링 시스템을 제안한다. 음운 및 음향학적인 정보를 최대한 이용하고 분할에러를 줄이기 위해서 조절 메카니즘의 하나로 DAC개념을 사용하여 음성을 speechlet으로 나누고 분할 된 음성 구간에 대해서 레이블링을 시도하는 DAC기반 분할알고리즘이다. HMM방법이 획일적이고 확정적인 성능을 갖는 반면 본 제안 방법은 음성학적인 특화지식을 컴포넌트로 개발 추가 계속 향상시킬 수 있는 프레임워크를 제시하고 있다는 점에서 주요 의의가 있다고 하겠다. MM과 같은 통계학적인 방법을 이용하지 않고 음운학적, 음향학적 지식만을 이용하는 새로운 방법은 수행속도와 음성학적인 특화 지식컴포넌트를 확장함에 따라 일관성이 있으며 효과적 방법으로 적용가능 할 것이다. 제안 방법을 검증하기 위하여 실험결과를 제시하였다.

In order to produce high quality synthesized speech, it is very important to get an accurate grapheme-to-phoneme conversion and prosody model from texts using natural language processing. Robust preprocessing for non-Korean characters should also be required. In this paper, we analyzed Korean texts using a morphological analyzer, part-of-speech tagger and syntactic chunker. We present a new grapheme-to-phoneme conversion method for Korean using a hybrid method with a phonetic pattern dictionary and CCV (consonant vowel) LTS (letter to sound) rules, for unlimited vocabulary Korean TTS. We constructed a prosody model using a probabilistic method and decision tree-based method. The probabilistic method atone usually suffers from performance degradation due to inherent data sparseness problems. So we adopted tree-based error correction to overcome these training data limitations.

We have developed a realtime phonetic typewriter implemented on IBM PC with sound card based on Windows 95. In this system, analyzing of speech signal, learning of neural network, labeling of output neurons and visualizing of recognition results are performed on realtime. The developing environment for speech processing is established by adding various functions, such as editing, saving, loading of speech data and 3-D or gray level displaying of spectrogram. Recognition experimental using Korean phone had a 71.42% for 13 basic consonant and 90.01% for 7 basic vowel accuracy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and quantitatively describe the acoustic characteristics of current Korean monophthongs. Recordings were made of 33 men and 27 women producing the vowels /i, e, ${\varepsilon}$, a, (표현불가), O, u, (표현불가)/ in a carrier phrase "This character is _." A listening test was conducted in which 19 participants judged each vowel. F1, F2, and F3 were measured from the vowels judged as intended vowels by more than 17 people from the listening test. Analysis of formant data shows some interesting results including the undeniable confirmation of 7-vowel system in current Korean.

In this paper, we present a new approach to creating speech animation with emotional expressions using a small set of example models. To generate realistic facial animation, two example models called key visemes and expressions are used for lip-synchronization and facial expressions, respectively. The key visemes represent lip shapes of phonemes such as vowels and consonants while the key expressions represent basic emotions of a face. Our approach utilizes a text-to-speech (TTS) system to create a phonetic transcript for the speech animation. Based on a phonetic transcript, a sequence of speech animation is synthesized by interpolating the corresponding sequence of key visemes. Using an input parameter vector, the key expressions are blended by a method of scattered data interpolation. During the synthesizing process, an importance-based scheme is introduced to combine both lip-synchronization and facial expressions into one animation sequence in real time (over 120Hz). The proposed approach can be applied to diverse types of digital content and applications that use facial animation with high accuracy (over 90%) in speech recognition.

The teach pendant and keyboard have been used as an input device of control command in human-robot sustem. But, many problems occur in case that the usef is a novice. So, speech recognition system is required to communicate between a human and the robot. In this study, Korean voice commands, eitht robot commands, and ten digits based on the broad phonetic analysis are described. Applying broad phonetic analysis, phonemes of voice commands are divided into phoneme groups, such as plosive, fricative, affricative, nasal, and glide sound, having similar features. And then, the feature parameters and their ranges to detect phoneme groups are found by minimax method. Classification rules are consisted of combination of the feature parameters, such as zero corssing rate(ZCR), log engery(LE), up and down(UD), formant frequency, and their ranges. Voice commands were recognized by the classification rules. The recognition rate was over 90 percent in this experiment. Also, this experiment showed that the recognition rate about digits was better than that about robot commands.
