In this Paper. a method for improving the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for conversational speech is proposed. which mainly focuses on increasing the robustness against the rapidly speaking utterances. The proposed method doesn't require an additional speech recognition task to represent speaking rate quantitatively. Energy distribution for special bands is employed to detect the vowel regions, the number of vowels Per unit second is then computed as speaking rate. To improve the Performance for fast speech. in the pervious methods. a sequence of the feature vectors is expanded by a given scaling factor, which is computed by a ratio between the standard phoneme duration and the measured one. However, in the method proposed herein. utterances are classified by their speaking rates. and the scaling factor is determined individually for each class. In this procedure, a maximum likelihood criterion is employed. By the results from the ASR experiments devised for the 10-digits mobile phone number. it is confirmed that the overall error rate was reduced by $17.8\%$ when the proposed method is employed

In this paper, we study efficient gene selection methods by using conditional mutual information. We suggest gene selection methods using conditional mutual information based on semiparametric methods utilizing multivariate normal distribution and Edgeworth approximation. We compare our suggested methods with other methods such as mutual information filter, SVM-RFE, Cai et al. (2009)'s gene selection (MIGS-original) in SVM classification. By these experiments, we show that gene selection methods using conditional mutual information based on semiparametric methods have better performance than mutual information filter. Furthermore, we show that they take far less computing time than Cai et al. (2009)'s gene selection but have similar performance.

In this paper, induction motor drives with low switching acoustic noise based on the 2 phase modulated RLL(Random Lead-Lag) PWM is proposed and implemented. The proposed switching method is much bettor than 3 phase modulated RLL-PWM from the standpoint of the broadening effect of the acoustic noise spectrum. Along with the randomization of PWM Pulses, SVM(Space Vector Modulation) is executed in the TMS320C31 DSP(Digital Signal Processor). To verify the validity of the proposed RPWM(Random PWM), the experimental study was tried. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method and the 3 phase center-aligned SVM / conventional RLL-PWM are nearly the same from the viewpoint of the constant v/f centrel. But, in case of the proposed 2 phase modulated RLL-PWM, the spectrum characteristics of the voltage and the switching acoustic noise are shown to have better broadening effect than 3 phase modulated one.

하천에서 평수기 유량측정은 도섭법을 이용하기 위한 지점식 측정보다는 초음파 도플러 유속계(ADCP, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)를 보트에 탑재하여 운용하는 측정 방식이 점차 일반화되고 있다. ADCP는 초음파의 도플러효과를 이용하여 수심이나 횡방향의 유속 분포를 측정할 수 있는 측정 장비로 일반적으로 사용되는 down-looking ADCP는 수심방향의 유속분포와 수심을 측정하여 보트의 이동속도와의 벡터 내적을 이용하여 유량을 산정하게 된다. 그러나, 이동식 ADCP 유량 측정 성과의 불확도는 제공되지 않고 있는 상황인데, 이는 불확도 산정 표준안 미비, 유속 및 수심 등 측정 요소의 관측 환경 별 불확도 정보 부족, 불확도를 산정할 수 있는 툴의 부재 등에 기인한다. 본 연구에서는 이동식 ADCP 불확도 산정 표준안을 개발하고 현장 실험을 통해 불확도 요인에 대한 규명, 불확도를 편리하게 산정할 수 있는 툴을 개발하고자 하였다. 불확도 산정 표준안으로 최근 WMO를 위시한 국제적으로 하천 유량 측정 불확도 표준안으로 채택되고 있는 GUM(Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty Measurement)을 기반으로 이동식 ADCP 유량 산정 알고리즘을 적용하여 불확도 적용 기법을 개발하였다. GUM 표준안을 기반으로 유량 측정불확도를 산정하기 위한 불확도 요인분석은 실규모 하천의 특성을 대부분 모의할 수 있는 한국건설기술연구원의 안동하천실험센터에서 수행된 실험자료를 기반으로 다양한 인자들에 대한 요소 별 불확도 분석을 수행하였다. GUM 표준안에 의하면 불확도 요인들은 오차전파의 법칙에 기반하여 전체 불확도에 전파되며, 이렇게 합성된 불확도는 t-분포의 신뢰수준 95%일 경우의 보정계수 2를 곱하여 최종적으로 확장불확도를 산정하게 된다. 이동측정방식의 ADCP의 경우 GUM 표준안에 적용하여 불확도를 평가하기 위해서 사용되는 수식이 방대하고, 매우 복잡하기 때문에 이를 실무자가 평가하기에는 한계가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 ADCP의 유량 측정불확도를 보다 편리하게 평가하기 위하여 ADCP 유량 측정불확도 평가 소프트웨어인 AQUA(ADCP Discharge Uncertainty Assesment)를 개발하였으며, 이를 통해 실무자나 연구자들이 ADCP의 불확도 평가에 보다 편리하게 접근할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Multi-view video is obtained by capturing one three-dimensional scene with many cameras at different positions. Multi-view video coding requires high computational complexity. To reduce computational complexity and maintain the image quality, an effective early termination motion estimation method is proposed in this paper. The proposed method exploiting the characteristic of motion vector distribution uses a hierarchical search strategy. This strategy method consists of multi-grid square search pattern, modified diamond search pattern, small diamond search pattern and raster search pattern. Experiment results show that the speedup improvement of the proposed method over TZ search method and FS(Full Search) method JMVC (Joint Multiview Video Coding) can be up to 1.7~4.5 times and 90 times faster respectively while maintaining similar video quality and bit rates.

A core technological base to provide enhanced data rates required by 5G mobile wireless communications is the improved bandwidth efficiency using massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission requires the channel estimation using the channel state information reference signaling (CSI-RS) and appropriate beamforming, thus the design of the codebook defining proper beamforming vectors is an important issue. In this paper, we propose a multi-rank codebook based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix, by utilizing statistical properties of the channel generated by the spatial channel model (SCM). The proposed method includes a structural change of the precoding matrix indicator (PMI) by considering the phase difference distributions between adjacent antenna elements, as well as the selected codevector characteristics of each transmission layer. Performance gain of the proposed method is evaluated and verified by making the performance comparison to the 3GPP standard codebooks adopted by Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems.

A fluid transport technique is a key issue for the development of microfluidic systems. In this study, the movement of a droplet on horizontal hydrophilic/hydrophobic surfaces, which is a new concept to transport droplets without external power sources that was recently proposed by the author, was simulated using an in-house solution code(PowerCFD). This code employs an unstructured cell-centered method based on a conservative pressure-based finite-volume method with interface capturing method(CICSAM) in a volume of fluid(VOF) scheme for phase interface capturing. The droplet transport mechanism is examined through numerical results that include velocity vectors, pressure contours, and total kinetic energy inside and around the droplet.

The UHF band wind profiler radars of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), which produces the vertical profile of the wind, need to be calibrated for better performance. The capabilities of the radar in detecting even light precipitation were used for the calibration of which reference takes the hourly series of ground rainfall rate measured by a rain gauge at the radar site. This calibration must be renewed regularly according to the methodology implemented in this work since errors occur on the wind vectors in the clear sky without reflectivity calibration. Comparing the wind by wind profiler with that by radiosonde, the optimal radar constant contributed to the improvement of wind accuracy.
