소음상황에서의 어음 이해 능력은 효과적인 의사소통을 위한 중요한 기술이다. 이러한 능력을 평가하는 방법으로 Hearing In Noise Test(HINT) 도구가 제안되어 사용되고 있다. 하지만 국내에서 이 유용한 도구가 초기의 기대와 달리 임상에서 적극적으로 활용되지 못하고 있다. 연령이 높아질수록 정상 청력을 가지고 있을지라도 양이에서 들어오는 신호들을 처리하는데 어려움을 겪게 되고, 특히 배경 소음이 있는 상황에서 듣기는 더욱 어려워진다. 하지만, 어음이해에 상당한 문제점을 갖고 있는 노인 인구들을 임상적으로 평가하는 도구들이 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 검사법이 근거하고 있는 기전에 있는 인지적 특성과 임상에서의 문제점을 분 석하여 개선점을 제안하고자 한다. 기본 임상 사례로 정상 청력을 가진 20대와 70대의 대표적 HINT점수를 비교하고, 소음이 어떤 조건에서 제시되는가에 따른 문장 인지 특징을 조명하였다. 대상자의 HINT score는 Quiet(Q), Noise Front(NF), Noise Right(NR), Noise Left(NF)조건에서 분석되었다. 여러 임상적 관점에서 유용한 점은 배경 소음이 있을 때 노인의 경우 청년보다 더 많은 신호대잡음비를 필요함을 나타내는 정량적 변수를 보여주고, 양이차폐감소차이(Binaural Masking Level Difference, BMLD)효과도 보여주고 있다는 점이다. 효과적 임상적 적용에는 세부 연령대별 비교 가능한 표준 자료가 극히 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 유용성 확인과 함께 임상 관련 개선점을 제시하였다.

구어 연구를 위한 전사 과정에서 문자로 표현된 발화를 녹음 음성에 연결해주는 작업을 레이블링이라고 한다. 기존 레이블링 도구들은 대부분 수동으로 작업이 이루어진다. 제안하는 반자동 레이블링은 자동화 모듈과 수동 조정 모듈로 구성된다. 자동화 모듈은 G.Saha 알고리즘을 활용하여 음성구간을 추출하고, 기구축된 발화텍스트의 발화 수와 발화의 길이 정보를 이용하여 발화구간을 예측한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 수동 도구의 정확성을 유지하기 위하여 자동 레이블링된 발화구간을 보정하기 위한 수동 조정 사용자 인터페이스를 제공한다. 제안하는 반자동 레이블링 알고리즘으로 구현한 도구는 기존 수동 레이블링 도구와 비교하여 작업 속도가 평균 27% 향상되었다.

Objective: This study aims to implement a non-contact gesture-based interface for presentation purposes and to analyze the effect of the proposed interface as information transfer assisted device. Background: Recently, research on control device using gesture recognition or speech recognition is being conducted with rapid technological growth in UI/UX area and appearance of smart service products which requires a new human-machine interface. However, few quantitative researches on practical effects of the new interface type have been done relatively, while activities on system implementation are very popular. Method: The system presented in this study is implemented with KINECT$^{(R)}$ sensor offered by Microsoft Corporation. To investigate whether the proposed system is effective as a presentation support tool or not, we conduct experiments by giving several lectures to 40 participants in both a traditional lecture room(keyboard-based presentation control) and a non-contact gesture-based lecture room(KINECT-based presentation control), evaluating their interests and immersion based on contents of the lecture and lecturing methods, and analyzing their understanding about contents of the lecture. Result: We check that whether the gesture-based presentation system can play effective role as presentation supporting tools or not depending on the level of difficulty of contents using ANOVA. Conclusion: We check that a non-contact gesture-based interface is a meaningful tool as a sportive device when delivering easy and simple information. However, the effect can vary with the contents and the level of difficulty of information provided. Application: The results presented in this paper might help to design a new human-machine(computer) interface for communication support tools.

The process of physical therapy uses a problem-solving approach to enhance a patients's functioning status. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health(ICF) is the common concept for the functioning in the world. Physical therapists require the ability to identify problems, formulate hypothesis, and plan intervention strategies through clinical reasoning. In the clinical process, physical therapists need to use standard and common languages in speech and in documentation. The purpose of this study was to suggest the process of making strategy for efficient intervention, examining and evaluating the functional problem of the person with stroke using ICF tools. For the first step in this process model, therapists could list the information relating to functional problems used by the ICF Core set and then could identify the interaction among the problems using the ICF assessment sheet. For the next step, therapist is needed to make the hypothesis and hypothesis testing, and then set a primary functional goals and therapeutic goals in detail after prioritizing the problems to be managed based on the problem list. Finally, after setting the identified problems as the purpose of intervention through the hypothesis testing, therapist could do some intervention after making a plan to solve these problems, and find out the outcomes using the ICF evaluation display. This report illustrates how to apply the process based on ICF concept into physical therapy practice. Making a decision for the most efficient intervention requires that therapists use the clinical reasoning process based on ICF concept.

The Hadith is the second source of Islamic jurisprudence after Qur'an. Both sources are indispensable for muslims to practice Islam. All Ahadith are collected and are written. But most books of Hadith contain Ahadith that can be weak or rejected. So, quite a long time, scholars of Hadith have defined laws, rules and principles of Hadith to know the correct Hadith (Sahih) from the fair (Hassen) and weak (Dhaif). Unfortunately, the application of these rules, laws and principles is done manually by the specialists or students until now. The work presented in this paper is part of the automatic treatment of Hadith, and more specifically, it aims to automatically process the chain of narrators (Hadith Isnad) to find its different components and affect for each component its own tag using a statistical method: the Hidden Markov Models (HMM). This method is a power abstraction for times series data and a robust tool for representing probability distributions over sequences of observations. In this paper, we describe an important tool in the Hadith isnad processing: A chunker with HMM. The role of this tool is to decompose the chain of narrators (Isnad) and determine the tag of each part of Isnad (POI). First, we have compiled a tagset containing 13 tags. Then, we have used these tags to manually conceive a corpus of 100 chains of narrators from "Sahih Alboukhari" and we have extracted a lexicon from this corpus. This lexicon is a set of XML documents based on HPSG features and it contains the information of 134 narrators. After that, we have designed and implemented an analyzer based on HMM that permit to assign for each part of Isnad its proper tag and for each narrator its features. The system was tested on 2661 not duplicated Isnad from "Sahih Alboukhari". The obtained result achieved F-scores of 93%.

Multimedia contents what we call Digital Items include various types of resources such as music, speech, text, video, graphics, and so on. The current Adaptation QoS described in the ISO/IEC 21000-7 CD-Part 7: Digital Item Adaptation, however, lacks adaptation methods for audio signals. The goal of this paper is to provide adaptation methods that are necessary to deal with audio signals. Two operations are introduced in order to adapt audio items. One method is to make use of the functionality of Fine Grain Scalability, and the other is intended to drop the channel of audio output channel. This paper provides a DIA description tool that associates the operators with the corresponding values of the constraint and the utility. Furthermore, the operations are evaluated and compared to alternative solutions.

As two dimensional bar code can collect data and information quickly, it is used and recognized as a useful tool for the many industrial application field. But the information capacity of two dimensional bar code is still limited. Recently, the two dimensional AD bar code (analog-digital code) that can increase its application range and overcome capacity limitation is developed. In this paper, we implement an effective system which can transform text information into voice using two dimensional AD bar code and TTS(Text To Speech). It can be transmitted to blind people by capturing the AD bar code on the papers or the books.
