Nuclear infrastructure systems play an important role in national security. The functions and missions of nuclear infrastructure systems are vital to government, businesses, society and citizen's lives. It is crucial to design nuclear infrastructure for scalability, reliability and robustness. To do this, we can use machine learning, which is a state of the art technology used in various fields ranging from voice recognition, Internet of Things (IoT) device management and autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we propose to design and develop a machine learning algorithm to perform predictive maintenance of nuclear infrastructure. Support vector machine and logistic regression algorithms will be used to perform the prediction. These machine learning techniques have been used to explore and compare rare events that could occur in nuclear infrastructure. As per our literature review, support vector machines provide better performance metrics. In this paper, we have performed parameter optimization for both algorithms mentioned. Existing research has been done in conditions with a great volume of data, but this paper presents a novel approach to correlate nuclear infrastructure data samples where the density of probability is very low. This paper also identifies the respective motivations and distinguishes between benefits and drawbacks of the selected machine learning algorithms.

The smart product market is growing year by year and is being used in many areas. There are various ways of interacting with smart products and users by inputting voice recognition, touch and finger movements. It is most important to detect an accurate hand region as a whole step to recognize hand movement. In this paper, we propose a method to detect accurate hand region in real time in various environments. A conventional method of detecting a hand region includes a method using depth information of a multi-sensor camera, a method of detecting a hand through machine learning, and a method of detecting a hand region using a color model. Among these methods, a method using a multi-sensor camera or a method using a machine learning requires a large amount of calculation and a high-performance PC is essential. Many computations are not suitable for embedded systems, and high-end PCs increase or decrease the price of smart products. The algorithm proposed in this paper detects the hand region using the color model, corrects the problems of the existing hand detection algorithm, and detects the accurate hand region based on various experimental environments.

The rapid proliferation of wireless networks provides a ubiquitous channel for delivering instructional materials at the convenience of the user. By delivering content through portable devices linked to the Internet, the full spectrum of multimedia capabilities is available for engaging the user's interest. This capability encompasses not only text but images, video, speech generation and voice recognition. Moreover, the incorporation of machine learning capabilities at the source provides the ability to tailor the material to the general level of expertise of the user as well as the immediate needs of the moment: for instance, a request for information regarding a particular city might be covered by a leisurely presentation if solicited from the home, but more tersely if the user happens to be driving a car. This paper presents system architecture to support mobile instruction in conjunction with knowledge-based tutoring capabilities. For concreteress, the general concepts are examined in the context of a system for mathematics education on the Web.

Today, leading smartphone manufacturers offer biometric technologies such as fingerprints, voice recognition, and iris patterns in their flagship models. These biometric technologies are used for authentication. Biometric authentications are widely used in device security and even in financial transaction. This paper examines cases where a user uses biometric authentication during financial transaction (both online and smartphone banking), and explains biometric for non-repudiation by digital signature. Finally, the paper also explains technical and legal requirements for biometric authentication in the area of financial services.

Regardless of their intention, listeners tend to assess speakers' personalities based on the sounds of the speech they hear. Assessment criteria, however, have not been fully investigated to indicate whether there is any relationship between the acoustic cue of produced speech sounds and perceived personality impression. If properly investigated, the potential relationship between these two will provide crucial insights on the aspects of human communications and further on human-computer interaction. Since human communications have distinctive characteristics of simultaneity and complexity, this investigation would be the identification of minimum essential factors among the sounds of speech and perceived personality impression. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to identify significant associations between the speech sounds and perceived personality impression of speaker by the listeners. Twenty eight subjects participated in the experiment and eight acoustic parameters were extracted by using Praat from the recorded sounds of the speech. The subjects also completed the Neo-five Factor Inventory test so that their personality traits could be measured. The results of the experiment show that four major factors(duration average, pitch difference value, pitch average and intensity average) play crucial roles in defining the significant relationship.

Number of disabled persons in Japan that have been registered in 2011 was about 2.5 million people, it is continuously increasing. Given the potential failure considering the aging, to increase more and more. This fault is open, and how to use the facilities, we examined Disabled Facilities DB how to build, how to take advantage. In the development of information technology, the use of technology to increase smartphone, fused evolves, disabled and was able to get the information easily. It is possible to take advantage of this amenities DB, to ensure convenient facilities for handicapped and provide equipment and position information of the user easily by using the audio position.

본 논문은 주행중인 자동차 환경에서 운전자의 안전성 및 편의성의 동시 확보를 위하여, 보조적인 스위치 조작 없이 상시 음성의 입, 출력이 가능한 시스템을 제안하였다. 이대 잡음에 강인한 threshold 값을 구하기 위하여, 1.5초마다 기준 에너지와 영 교차율을 변경하였으며 대역 통과 여과기를 이용하여 1차, 2차로 나누어 실시간 상태에서 자동으로, 정확하게 끝점 검출을 처리하였다. 또한 남성, 여성을 피치검출로 구분하여 모델을 선택하게 하였고, 주행중인 자동차 속도에 따라 가장 적합한 모델을 사용하기 위하여 Idle-40km, 40-80km, 80-100km로 구분하여 남성, 여성 모델을 각각 구분하여 인식할 수 있게 하였다. 그리고, 음성의 특징 벡터와 인식 알고리즘은 PLP 13차와 OSDP(one-Stage Dynamic Programming)을 사용하였다. 본 실험은 서울시내 도로 및 내부 순환도로에서 각각 속도별로 구분하여 화자독립 인식 실험을 한 결과 40-80km 상태에서 남자는 96.8%, 여자는 95.1%, 80-100km 상태에서는 남자 91.6%, 여자는 90.6%의 인식결과를 얻을 수 있었고, 화자종속 인식실험 결과 40-80km 상태에서 남자는 98%, 여자는 96%, 80-100km 상태에서는 남자는 96%, 여자는 94%의 높은 인식률을 얻었으므로, system의 유효성을 입증하였다.

네트워크상에서 전달되는 음성데이터는 전달되는 과정에서 잡음 등의 외부 요인으로 인하여 데이터에 손실이 생기는 문제가 발생한다. 이렇게 전달된 음성데이터가 음성 인식기를 통과하면 바로 음성 인식기를 통과했을 때 보다 인식률이 낮아진다. 본 연구에서는 홈 네트워크를 제어하는데 있어서 음성 인식률을 향상시키기 위해서 음성 데이터를 입력받아, 이를 음소단위 기반의 유사율 알고리즘을 적용시켜 이미 구축된 홈 네트워크 용어 관련 사전에 등록된 단어와의 유사성을 검토하여 추출된 결과로 홈 네트워크를 제어하는 방안을 제안한다. 음소단위 기반의 유사율 알고리즘과 다중발화를 이용했을 때 Threshold 값이 85% 일 경우 사전에 구축된 단어와 매칭된 인식률은 100%였으며, 사전에 없는 단어의 오인식률은 2%로 감소되었다.

To help emergency medical dispatchers receive rapid and accurate identification and corrective action status determination of an emergency call, and to support the automatic processing of a voice recognition system to the Korean emergency medical dispatch system, emergency call records were analyzed. Furthermore, a list of Korean symptoms expression were produced and the characteristics of the symptoms that appear on the actual wording of the telephone records were identified. This language list and its characteristics will be useful for training emergency medical dispatchers.

In this paper, maximum likelihood-based automatic lexicon generation using mixed-syllables is proposed for unlimited vocabulary voice interface for East Asian languages (e.g. Korean, Chinese and Japanese) in AI-assistant based interaction with mobile devices. The conventional lexicon has two inevitable problems: 1) a tedious repetition of out-of-lexicon unit additions to the lexicon, and 2) the propagation of errors during a morpheme analysis and space segmentation. The proposed method provides an automatic framework to solve the above problems. The proposed method produces a level of overall accuracy similar to one of previous methods in the presence of one out-of-lexicon word in a sentence, but the proposed method provides superior results with the absolute improvements of 1.62%, 5.58%, and 10.09% in terms of word accuracy when the number of out-of-lexicon words in a sentence was two, three and four, respectively.
