Speech discrimination is affected by the speed of speech. The speed of speech can be adjusted at the pause duration, the pause duration can take the resting time to avoid in overloading information. The study will be examine the effects of aging and audiological rehabilitation, and the auditory processing as basic research to investigate the normative data. 7 boys and 8 girls were participated. They have no problem with speech language pathologically and audiologically. There are 4 sets of test implement, and each test set was made out with 20 3-syllable words. Pause duration of all of these words are adjusted in normal(250 ms), slow(500 ms) and very slow(1000 ms). There are 4 words for a multiple-choice that including one word with written correctly and three words with written 1 phoneme wrong. Participant hear the word, and then have to choose one. Speech discrimination score in 250, 500, 1,000 ms of pause duration were $73{\pm}19.4%$, $84{\pm}12.2%$, $88{\pm}8.8%$, respectively.

본 논문에서는 품사 태깅을 위해 여러 통계 모델을 실험을 통하여 비교하였으며 이를 토대로 통계적 모델을 구성하였다. 형태소 패턴 사전을 이용하여 미등록어의 위치와 개수에 관계없는 일반적인 방법의 미등록어 처리 방법을 개발하고 통계모델이 가지는 단점을 보완할 수 있는 오류 수정 규칙을 함께 이용하여 혼합형 품사 태깅 시스템인 $POSTAG^{i}$를 개발하였다. 미등록어를 추정하는 형태소 패턴 사전은 한국어 음절 정보와 용언의 불규칙 정보를 이용하여 구성하고 다어절어 사전을 이용하여 여러 어절에 걸쳐 나타나는 연어를 효과적으로 처리하면서 전체적인 태깅 정확도를 개선할 수 있다. 또 오류 수정 규칙은 Brill이 제안한 학습을 통하여 자동으로 얻어진다. 오류 수정 규칙의 자동 추출시에 몇 가지의 휴리스틱을 사용하여 보다 우수하고 일반적인 규clr을 추출할 수 있게 하였다. 10만의 형태소 품사 말뭉치로 학습하고 학습에 참여하지 않은 2만 5천여 형태소로 실험하여 97.28%의 정확도를 보였다.

We proposed a probabilistic approach of using syllable bigrams to the word-spacing problem. Syllable bigrams are extracted and the frequencies are calculated for the large corpus of 12 million words. Based on the syllable bigrams, we performed three experiments: (1) automatic word-spacing, (2) detection and correction of word-spacing errors for spelling checker, and (3) automatic insertion of a space at the end of line in the character recognition system. Experimental results show that the accuracy ratios are 97.7 percent, 82.1 percent, and 90.5%, respectively.

Recently, systems based on speech recognition interface such as telematics terminals are being developed. However, many errors still exist in speech recognition and then studies about error correction are actively conducting. This paper proposes an error correction in post-processing of the speech recognition based on features of Korean phoneme. To support this algorithm, we used the phoneme similarity considering features of Korean phoneme. The phoneme similarity, which is utilized in this paper, rams data by mono-phoneme, and uses MFCC and LPC to extract feature in each Korean phoneme. In addition, the phoneme similarity uses a Bhattacharrya distance measure to get the similarity between one phoneme and the other. By using the phoneme similarity, the error of eo-jeol that may not be morphologically analyzed could be corrected. Also, the syllable recovery and morphological analysis are performed again. The results of the experiment show the improvement of 7.5% and 5.3% for each of MFCC and LPC.

Most of the previous automatic word spacing systems are not suitable to use for mobile devices with relatively low computing powers because they require many system resources. We propose an automatic word spacing system that requires reasonable memory usage and simple numerical computations for mobile devices with low computing powers. The proposed system is a two step model that consists of a statistical system and a rule-based system. To reduce the memory usage, the statistical system first corrects word spacing errors by using a modified hidden Markov model based on character unigrams. Then, to increase the accuracy, the rule-based system re-corrects miscorrected word spaces by using lexical rules based on character bigrams or more. In the experiments, the proposed system showed relatively high accuracy of 94.14% in spite of small memory usage of about 1MB.

In the generated model for the recognition vocabulary, tri-phones which is not make preparations are produced. Therefore this model does not generate an initial estimate of parameter words, and the system can not configure the model appear as disadvantages. As a result, the sophistication of the Gaussian model is fall will degrade recognition. In this system, we propose the error correction system using out-of vocabulary rejection algorithm. When the systems are creating a vocabulary recognition model, recognition rates are improved to refuse the vocabulary which is not registered. In addition, this system is seized the lexical analysis and meaning using probability distributions, and this system deactivates the string before phoneme change was applied. System analysis determine the rate of error correction using phoneme similarity rate and reliability, system performance comparison as a result of error correction rate improve represent 2.8% by method using error patterns, fault patterns, meaning patterns.

In this paper, we propose a rule-based model to correct errors in a speech recognition result in the mobile device environment. The proposed model considers the mobile device environment with limited resources such as processing time and memory, as follows. In order to minimize the error correction processing time, the proposed model removes some processing steps such as morphological analysis and the composition and decomposition of syllable. Also, the proposed model utilizes the longest match rule selection method to generate one error correction candidate per point, assumed that an error occurs. For the purpose of deploying memory resource, the proposed model uses neither the Eojeol dictionary nor the morphological analyzer, and stores a combined rule list without any classification. Considering the modification and maintenance of the proposed model, the error correction rules are automatically extracted from a training corpus. Experimental results show that the proposed model improves 5.27% on the precision and 5.60% on the recall based on Eojoel unit for the speech recognition result.

구어는 프로그래밍 언어와는 달리 주어진 문장 내에서의 해당 어휘의 뜻(semantic information)을 알고 다른 어휘들과의 연관성 (grammatical information)을 알아야만 적절한 형태소분석이 가능하다. 또한 구어는 방대한 양의 어휘들로 구성되어 있으며 사용하는 사람마다의 다양한 응용과 공식화되기 어려운 수많은 예외들로 운용되기 때문에 단순히 찾아보기표와 오토마타만으로는 형태소분석에 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 주어진 어휘집과 그 어휘들로 만들어진 다양한 문장들로부터 구어운용의 근본기제를 스스로 학습해나가는 강화학습중심의 언어모델을 제안하고 실제로 한국어 형태소분석에 적용하여 그 성능과 특성을 파악해보았다. 구어파서의 입력은 음절단위의 발음이며 인간이 문장을 듣거나 보는 것과 동일하게 시간에 따라 순차적으로 입력된다. 파서의 출력 또한 시간에 따라 변화되면서 나타나며 입력된 연속음절을 형태소단위로 분리(segmentation)하고 분류(labeling)한 결과를 나타낸다. 생성인식 언어모델이 기존의 언어모델과 다른 점은 구어 파싱에 있어서 필수적인 미등륵어에 대한 유연성과 앞단의 음성인식기 오류에 적절한 반응(fault tolerance)을 나타내는 것이다.

The conversational agents such as AI speakers utilize voice conversation for human-computer interaction. Voice recognition errors often occur in conversational situations. Recognition errors in user utterance records can be categorized into two types. The first type is misrecognition errors, where the agent fails to recognize the user's speech entirely. The second type is misinterpretation errors, where the user's speech is recognized and services are provided, but the interpretation differs from the user's intention. Among these, misinterpretation errors require separate error detection as they are recorded as successful service interactions. In this study, various text separation methods were applied to detect misinterpretation. For each of these text separation methods, the similarity of consecutive speech pairs using word embedding and document embedding techniques, which convert words and documents into vectors. This approach goes beyond simple word-based similarity calculation to explore a new method for detecting misinterpretation errors. The research method involved utilizing real user utterance records to train and develop a detection model by applying patterns of misinterpretation error causes. The results revealed that the most significant analysis result was obtained through initial consonant extraction for detecting misinterpretation errors caused by the use of unregistered neologisms. Through comparison with other separation methods, different error types could be observed. This study has two main implications. First, for misinterpretation errors that are difficult to detect due to lack of recognition, the study proposed diverse text separation methods and found a novel method that improved performance remarkably. Second, if this is applied to conversational agents or voice recognition services requiring neologism detection, patterns of errors occurring from the voice recognition stage can be specified. The study proposed and verified that even if not categorized as errors, services can be provided according to user-desired results.
