The purpose of this paper is to report the whole process of developing Korean Standard Speech Database (KSS DB). This project is supported by SPO (Supreme Prosecutors' Office) research grant for three years from 2014 to 2016. KSS DB is designed to provide speech data for acoustic-phonetic and phonological studies and speaker recognition system. For the samples to represent the spoken Korean, sociolinguistic factors, such as region (9 regional dialects), age (5 age groups over 20) and gender (male and female) were considered. The goal of the project is to collect over 3,000 male and female speakers of nine regional dialects and five age groups employing direct and indirect methods. Speech samples of 3,191 speakers (2,829 speakers and 362 speakers using direct and indirect methods, respectively) are collected and databased. KSS DB designs to collect read and spontaneous speech samples from each speaker carrying out 5 speech tasks: three (pseudo-)spontaneous speech tasks (producing prolonged simple vowels, 28 blanked sentences and spontaneous talk) and two read speech tasks (reading 55 phonetically and phonologically rich sentences and reading three short passages). KSS DB includes a 16-bit, 44.1kHz speech waveform file and a orthographic file for each speech task.

Many standard methods are used for secret text files and secrete short messages cryptography, these methods are efficient when the text to be encrypted is small, and the efficiency will rapidly decrease when increasing the text size, also these methods sometimes have a low level of security, this level will depend on the PK length and sometimes it may be hacked. In this paper, a new method will be introduced to improve the data protection level by using a changeable secrete speech file to generate PK. Highly Secure Data Encryption (HSDE) method will be implemented and tested for data quality levels to ensure that the HSDE destroys the data in the encryption phase, and recover the original data in the decryption phase. Some standard methods of data cryptography will be implemented; comparisons will be done to justify the enhancements provided by the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 심층 신경망을 이용하여 손상된 음성파일을 복원하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 다루는 음성파일 복원은 기존의 파일 카빙(file carving) 기반의 복원과는 다른 개념으로, 기존 기법으로는 복원할 수 없었던 손실된 정보를 복원하는 것이 목적이다. 새로운 복원 기법을 수행하는 과정에서 필요한 작업이지만 사람이 직접 수행할 수 없거나 너무 많은 시간이 소요되는 작업을 심층 신경망을 활용해 자동화할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였으며 관련한 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 심층 신경망을 활용해 음성, 비음성 분류나 음성파일 부호화 방식의 식별이 가능해 기존 파일 카빙 기반 방법이 복원하지 못하는 파일을 복원할 수 있었다.

This paper describes procedures to model and synthesize emotional speech in a multimedia environment. At first, procedures to model the visual representation of emotional speech are proposed. To display the sequences of the images in synchronized form with speech, MSF(Multimedia Speech File) format is proposed and the display software is implemented. Then the emotional speech sinal is collected and analysed to obtain the prosodic characteristics of the emotional speech in limited domain. Multi-emotional sentences are spoken by actors. From the emotional speech signals, prosodic structures are compared in terms of the pseudo-syntactic structure. Based on the analyzed result, neutral speech is transformed into a specific emotinal state by modifying the prosodic structures.

This paper presents durational characteristics of Korean distant-talking speech using speech data, which consist of 500 distant-talking utterances and 500 normal utterances of 10 speakers (5 males and 5 females). Each file was segmented and labeled manually and the duration of each segment and each word was extracted. Using a statistical method, the durational change of distant-talking speech in comparison with normal speech was analyzed. The results show that the duration of words with distant-talking speech is increased in comparison with normal style, and that the average unvoiced consonantal duration is reduced while the average vocalic duration is increased. Female speakers show a stronger tendency towards lengthening the duration in distant-talking speech. Finally, this study also shows that the speakers of distant-talking speech could be classified according to their different duration rate.

This paper presents durational characteristics of Korean Lombard speech using data, which consist of 500 Lombard utterances and 500 normal utterances of 10 speakers (5 males and 5 females). Each file was segmented and labeled manually and the duration of each segment and each word was extracted. The durational change of Lombard effect in comparison with normal speech was analyzed using a statistical method. The results show that the duration of words with Lombard effect is increased in comparison with normal style, and that the average unvoiced consonantal duration is reduced while the average vocalic duration is increased. Female speakers show a stronger tendency towards lengthening the duration in Lombard speech, but without statistical significance. Finally, this study also shows that the speakers of Lombard speech could be classified according to their different duration rate.

스마트폰의 대중화로 인하여 근래 범죄의 증거자료로 제출되는 녹취 파일은 대부분 스마트폰을 통하여 생산되고 있으며, 스마트폰을 기반으로 한 녹음 파일의 무결성(위변조) 여부가 수사와 재판 과정에서 주요 쟁점으로 떠오르고 있다. 가장 높은 국내 시장 점유율을 가진 삼성 스마트폰은 통화 및 음성 녹음, 그리고 편집이 가능한 자체 음성녹음 편집 어플리케이션이 탑재되어 유통되고 있으며, 자체 어플리케이션을 통한 편집은 외부 어플리케이션을 통한 편집과 다르게 원본 파일과의 유사성이 높기에, 무결성을 입증하기 위해 더 정밀한 분석 기법 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 삼성 스마트폰 34개 기종에서 생성된 원본 녹음 파일과 자체 제공 음성녹음 편집 어플리케이션을 통한 편집 파일의 메타데이터 구조와 속성을 분석하여, 원본과 편집본 사이의 음성 파일 메타데이터 구조 및 속성 값에서 유의미한 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, in order to protect music copyrights, we propose a music identification system which is scalable to the number of pieces of registered music and robust to signal-level variations of registered music. For its implementation, we define the new concepts of 'music word' and 'music phoneme' as recognition units to construct 'music acoustic models'. Then, with these concepts, we apply the HMM-based framework used in continuous speech recognition to identify the music. Each music file is transformed to a sequence of 39-dimensional vectors. This sequence of vectors is represented as ordered states with Gaussian mixtures. These ordered states are trained using Baum-Welch re-estimation method. Music files with a suspicious copyright are also transformed to a sequence of vectors. Then, the most probable music file is identified using Viterbi algorithm through the music identification network. We implemented a music identification system for 1,000 MP3 music files and tested this system with variations in terms of MP3 bit rate and music speed rate. Our proposed music identification system demonstrates robust performance to signal variations. In addition, scalability of this system is independent of the number of registered music files, since our system is based on HMM method.

The transmission of confidential data using cover media is called steganography. The three requirements of any effective steganography system are high embedding capacity, security, and imperceptibility. The text file's structure, which makes syntax and grammar more visually obvious than in other media, contributes to its poor imperceptibility. Text steganography is regarded as the most challenging carrier to hide secret data because of its insufficient redundant data compared to other digital objects. Unicode characters, especially non-printing or invisible, are employed for hiding data by mapping a specific amount of secret data bits in each character and inserting the character into cover text spaces. These characters are known with limited spaces to embed secret data. Current studies that used Unicode characters in text steganography focused on increasing the data hiding capacity with insufficient redundant data in a text file. A sequential embedding pattern is often selected and included in all available positions in the cover text. This embedding pattern negatively affects the text steganography system's imperceptibility and security. Thus, this study attempts to solve these limitations using the Part-of-speech (POS) tagging technique combined with the randomization concept in data hiding. Combining these two techniques allows inserting the Unicode characters in randomized patterns with specific positions in the cover text to increase data hiding capacity with minimum effects on imperceptibility and security. Format-preserving encryption (FPE) is also used to encrypt a secret message without changing its size before the embedding processes. By comparing the proposed technique to already existing ones, the results demonstrate that it fulfils the cover file's capacity, imperceptibility, and security requirements.
