본 한글꼴은 음절 및 음소의 가시성을 높이고자 한글 음소의 이중 가로선형 배열을 통한 밀도 분산형 한글꼴과 음소 나열형 한글꼴 등의 새로운 한글꼴의 다양한 표현의 실험 연구이다. 일도 분산형 한글꼴은 새로운 음소형 한글코드(닿소리, 홑소리, 받침 조합형)와 서로 대응하드록 일원화 한글꼴로 한글 및 옛 한글의 음소 조합형의 입.출력이 가능하다. 이러한 시도는 1바이트 이내에서 현대한글 및 옛한글을 구현하며, 이는 한글의 구현원리에 따른 음소형 코드체계의 실현 가능성으로 한글 코드체계의 최적화에 대한 새로운 가설을 제시 한다.

우리말에서 띄어쓰기와 버금갈 정도로 어려운 것이 우리말의 발음이다. 이에 실생활에서 혼란스럽게 사용되는 발음법과 그로 인해 올바른 발음의 선택에 대한 어려움을 덜어낼 수 있도록 표준어 규정의 표준 발음법에 따른 한국어 음소열 자동 생성기를 구현하여 교육용으로 쓸 수 있도록 하는 것이 이 논문의 목적이다.

In this paper, we have developed the Auto Lip-Sync Maya plug-in for extracting Korean phonemes from voice data and text information based on Korean and produce high quality 3D lip-sync animation using divided phonemes. In the developed system, phoneme separation was classified into 8 vowels and 13 consonants used in Korean, referring to 49 phonemes provided by Microsoft Speech API engine SAPI. In addition, the pronunciation of vowels and consonants has variety Mouth Shapes, but the same Viseme can be applied to some identical ones. Based on this, we have developed Auto Lip-sync Maya Plug-in based on Python to enable lip-sync animation to be implemented automatically at once.

As a basic research to realize Korean speech recognition system, phoneme recognition was carried out to find out ; 1) the best place which represents each phoneme's characteristics, and 2) the reasonable length of duration for obtaining the best recognition rates. For the recognition experiments, multi-speaker dependent recognition with Bayesian decision rule using 21 order of cepstral coefficient as a feature parameter was adopted. It turned out that the best place of feature extraction for the highest recognition rates were 10~50ms in vowels, 40~100ms in fricatives and affricates, 10~50ms in nasals and liquids, and 10~50ms in plosives. And about 70ms of duration was good enough for the recognition of all 35 phonemes.

Recently attempts to we the syllable as the recognition unit to enhance performance in continuous speech recognition hate been reported. However, syllables are worse in their trainability than phones and the former have a disadvantage in that contort-dependent modeling is difficult across the syllable boundary since the number of models is much larger for syllables than for phones. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the trainability for the syllables in Korean and phoneme-context dependent syllable modeling across the syllable boundary. An experiment in which the proposed method is applied to word recognition shows average 46.23% error reduction in comparison with the common syllable modeling. The right phone dependent syllable model showed 16.7% error reduction compared with a triphone model.

In this paper we investigate context dependent acoustic models to improve the performance of the Korean speech recognition . The algorithm are using the Korean phonological rules and decision tree, By Successive State Splitting(SSS) algorithm the Hidden Merkov Netwwork(HM-Net) which is an efficient representation of phoneme-context-dependent HMMs, can be generated automatically SSS is powerful technique to design topologies of tied-state HMMs but it doesn't treat unknown contexts in the training phoneme contexts environment adequately In addition it has some problem in the procedure of the contextual domain. In this paper we adopt a new state-clustering algorithm of SSS, called Phonetic Decision Tree-based SSS (PDT-SSS) which includes contexts splits based on the Korean phonological rules. This method combines advantages of both the decision tree clustering and SSS, and can generated highly accurate HM-Net that can express any contexts To verify the effectiveness of the adopted methods. the experiments are carried out using KLE 452 word database and YNU 200 sentence database. Through the Korean phoneme word and sentence recognition experiments. we proved that the new state-clustering algorithm produce better phoneme, word and continuous speech recognition accuracy than the conventional HMMs.

In this paper, the PLP cepstrum which is close to human perceptual characteristics was extracted through the spread time area to get the temperal feature. Phonemes were recognized by artificial neural network similar to the learning method of human. The phoneme strings were matched by Markov models which well suited for sequence. Phoneme recognition for the continuous Korean speech had been done using speech blocks in which speech frames were gathered with unequal numbers. We parameterized the blocks using 7th order PLPs, PTP, zero crossing rate and energy, which neural network used as inputs. The 100 data composed of 10 Korean sentences which were taken from the speech two men pronounced five times for each sentence were used for the the recognition. As a result, maximum recognition rate of 94.4% was obtained. The sentence was recognized using Markov models generated by the phoneme strings recognized from earlier results the recognition for the 200 data which two men sounded 10 times for each sentence had been carried out. The sentence recognition rate of 92.5% was obtained.

음소를 인식의 기본 단위로 하는 소규모 음성 인식 시스템을 구현하기 위한 기초 연구로서 마 찰음(/ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅎ/) 과 파찰음(/ㅈ, ㅉ, ㅊ/) 에 대하여 지속시간, 평균패턴, 분산비를 이용하여 각 음소 의 특징을 분석하고 각 음소군 내에서의 식별에 유효한 parameter들을 추출하여 인식 실험을 실시하 였다. 지속시간의 분포, 평균패턴의 분포, 분산비의 분포를 이용하여 분석한 결과 6차원 정도의 cepstrum 계수만으로 마찰음 및 파찰음의 식별이 가능하고, 시간 방향의 정보는 음성의 시단으로부터 14 frame 정도의 특징을 인식 파라미터로 할 경우가 최적임을 알 수 있었다. 이를 이용한 인식실험 결과에서는 조음방법별로 분류된 음소군내의 각 음소에 대한 인식실험의 인식률 보다는 발음방법별 인식실험시의 인식률이 높게 나타나 동일 음소군 내에서의 각 음소에 대한 식별이 더 어려움을 알 수 있었고, 특징 파라미터의 길이를 음성의 시단으로부터 14 frame 정도로 했을 때 조음방법별 인식률은 평균 81.1%, 발음방법별 인식률은 평균 97.9%로 최고의 인식률을 나타내었다. 특징 파라미터의 길이 를 14 frame 이상으로 증가시켜도 인식률은 큰 변화가 없어 분석 결과를 잘 설명하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This study examined grapheme-to-phoneme regularity effect among late Korean-English bilinguals by using whole word level task (lexical processing) and two meta-phonological tasks(sub-lexical processing): [1] English word naming task(whole word level), [2] rhyme judgement task(rhyme level), and [3] phoneme deletion task(phoneme level). Forty-three late Korean-English bilinguals participated in all three tasks. In these tasks, participants showed better performance in regular word conditions compared to irregular word conditions, demonstrating a clear English regularity effect. Post-hoc correlational analysis revealed strong correlation between word naming task and rhyme judgement task, which is different from the results reported with English monolinguals. The contradicting results might be due to the relevantly low English proficiency level among late Korean-English bilingual speakers. In conclusion, this study suggests that late Korean-English bilinguals make use of L2 grapheme-to-phoneme conversion (GPC) rule when reading L2 English words.
