We present somple block methods for blind maximal ratio combining (MRC) based on a maximum likelihood (ML) principle and finite alphabet properties (FAP) inherent in digital communication systems. The methods can provide accurate estimates of channel parameters even with a small subset of data, thus realizing nearly perfect combining. The channel parameters of diversity branches and the data sequence are estimated simultaneously by using an alternating projection technique. Two different methods, that is, (1) Joint combining and data sequence estimation(JC-DSE) method and (2) Pre-combining and blind phase estimation (PC-BPE) method are presented. Efficient initiallization schemes that can assure the convergence to the global optimum are also presented. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of two methods on the symbol error rate (SER) and the estimated accuracy of the channel parameters.

To search a pattern P in a text, such index data structures as suffix trees and suffix arrays are widely used in diverse applications of string processing and computational biology. It is well known that searching in suffix trees is faster than suffix ways in the aspect of time complexity, i.e., it takes O(${\mid}P{\mid}$) time to search P on a constant-size alphabet in a suffix tree while it takes O(${\mid}P{\mid}+logn$) time in a suffix way where n is the length of the text. In this paper we present a linear-tim8 search algorithm in suffix arrays for constant-size alphabets. For a gene.al alphabet $\Sigma$, it takes O(${\mid}P{\mid}log{\mid}{\Sigma}{\mid}$) time.

이 논문은 한국어 음성인식 성능을 개선하고자 기존 음성인식 과정을 자모단위 음성인식 모델과 신경망 기반 자모 병합 모델 총 두 단계로 구성하였다. 한국어는 조합어 특성상 음성 인식에 필요한 음절 단위가 약 2900자에 이른다. 이는 학습 데이터셋에 자주 등장하지 않는 음절에 대해서 음성인식 성능을 저하시키고, 학습 비용을 높이는 단점이 있다. 이를 개선하고자 음절 단위의 인식이 아닌 51가지 자모 단위(ㄱ-ㅎ, ㅏ-ㅞ)의 음성인식을 수행한 후 자모 단위 인식 결과를 음절단위의 한글로 병합하는 과정을 수행할 수 있다[1]. 자모단위 인식결과는 초성, 중성, 종성을 고려하면 규칙 기반의 병합이 가능하다. 하지만 음성인식 결과에 잘못인식된 자모가 포함되어 있다면 최종 병합 결과에 오류를 생성하고 만다. 이를 해결하고자 신경망 기반의 자모 병합 모델을 제시한다. 자모 병합 모델은 분리되어 있는 자모단위의 입력을 완성된 한글 문장으로 변환하는 작업을 수행하고, 이 과정에서 음성인식 결과로 잘못인식된 자모에 대해서도 올바른 한글 문장으로 변환하는 오류 수정이 가능하다. 본 연구는 한국어 음성인식 말뭉치 KsponSpeech를 활용하여 실험을 진행하였고, 음성인식 모델로 Wav2Vec2.0 모델을 활용하였다. 기존 규칙 기반의 자모 병합 방법에 비해 제시하는 자모 병합 모델이 상대적 음절단위오류율(Character Error Rate, CER) 17.2% 와 단어단위오류율(Word Error Rate, WER) 13.1% 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The Purpose of this study is to investigate if the relative legibility of optotypes affects the corrected visual acuity in visual acuity test. Methods: After measuring the relative legibility of 'Landolt ring target', 'arabic number target', 'alphabet target' by showing as a single-letter-target in 24 subjects without specific ocular diseases and ocular surgery experience, the relative legibility of 0.8, 1.0, 1.25 row of vision according to type of target in 7 types of chart were compared. After then we compared by measuring the corrected visual acuity according to type of target by using binocular MPMVA test (#7A) in 60 myopic subjects. Results: In 3 types of target the worst relative legibility target was 'Landolt ring target' with legible distance of $98.97{\pm}4.57cm$ and the best relative legibility target was 'alphabet target' with legible distance of $108.42{\pm}3.46cm$. There was no difference of the relative legibility according to type of chart or visual acuity level in the row of vision if other conditions are the same. In 1.0 and 1.25 row of vision the difference of relative legibility according to type of target was shown the statistically significant difference between 'Landolt ring target' and 'alphabet target' as $-0.07{\pm}0.06$ (p=0.02) and $-0.06{\pm}0.06$ (p=0.04) respectively. In myopia the difference of corrected visual acuity according to type of target was statistically significant difference between 'Landolt ring target' and 'arabic number target' as $-0.04{\pm}0.02$ (p=0.02) and it was especially remarkable in the low myopia. Conclusions: Measuring visual acuity with different optotypes could cause the errors in best vision measurement value because there was difference of the relative legibility according to type of target even though visual acuity level is same in the row of vision.

Objectives To review the case studies and controlled studies about Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture treatment. Methods We searched 92 studies about Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture from 6 Korean web databases, using words 'Jungsongouhyul', 'Jungsongouhyul and pharmacopuncture', 'ouhyulpharmacopuncture' and 'ouhyul and pharmacopuncture' in Korean alphabet. We removed 63 duplicated studies. And we excluded 12 studies by reviewing abstract and the contents of a study. Results We selected 5 case studies and 12 controlled studies, excluding experimental research and study not on humans, not using the Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture for major treatment. Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture was used mostly in whiplash injury and all studies showed that Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture is effective treatment. But we found some lacking parts with study design in most studies. Conclusions We found out that Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture is effective in various diseases. But we need to do more well-designed study to increasing reliability of Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture treatment.

Sino-Korean words make almost 70% of Korean words. Chinese Characters are very different from Hangul (Korean alphabet system) in form and they are semantic symbols. Therefore Korean and foreign students are very likely to have difficulty in mastering the Sino-Korean characters. This paper aims at reviewing the problems of teaching Chinese characters to Koreans and foreigners in Korea, and proposing how to teach them effectively. For this purpose, we first look into the realities of the national system of Chinese characters' education, and then suggest more effective instructions in teaching Chinese characters.

Syllabary called Idu that used the Chinese characters to transcribe the sounds of Korean was superseded by the Korean alphabet in the 15th century. In the middle of Koryo Dynasty, 'Hyang-yak-myeong'(鄕藥名), the Idu common names of herbs began to appear in herbal books of Korea as the synonyms of the Chinese names. Those Idu names were also introduced by the Japanese herbals such as 'Honzo-komoku-keimo' (本草綱目 啓蒙) and it is interesting to point out that some of them were mistakenly cited in the books for lack of the knowledge of Korean language.

An annotation model of a non-native speech database has been devised, wherein English is the target language and Korean is the native language. The proposed annotation model features overt transcription of predictable linguistic information in native speech by the dictionary entry and several predefined types of error specification found in native language transfer. The proposed model is, in that sense, different from other previously explored annotation models in the literature, most of which are based on native speech. The validity of the newly proposed model is revealed in its consistent annotation of 1) salient linguistic features of English, 2) contrastive linguistic features of English and Korean, 3) actual errors reported in the literature, and 4) the newly collected data in this study. The annotation method in this model adopts the widely accepted conventions, Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (SAMPA) and the TOnes and Break Indices (ToBI). In the proposed annotation model, SAMPA is exclusively employed for segmental transcription and ToBI for prosodic transcription. The annotation of non-native speech is used to assess speaking ability for English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners.

Neural oscillator can be applied to oscillator systems such as analysis of image information, voice recognition and etc, Conventional learning algorithms(Neural Network or EBPA(Error Back Propagation Algorithm)) are not proper for oscillatory systems with the complicate input patterns because of its too much complex structure. However, these problems can be easily solved by using a synchrony characteristic of neural oscillator with PLL(phase locked loop) function and a simple Hebbian learning rule, Therefore, in this paper, it will introduce an technique for Recognition of the Korean Character using Phase Synchronization Neural Oscillator and will show the result of simulation.

This study aimed to compare and analyze two respective versions of Jusikbangmun: Nogajae's and National Library of Korea. Types and composition of recipes, archives, classification of names and contents, techniques, tools, and measurement were analyzed. Nogajae's, owned by the Yuwagong family, has established sources while the writer and its publication year are unknown. The other version from the National Library of Korea, on the other hand, has a clear publication year (February, Year Jeongmi) while writer is unclear. In terms of its archive, Nogajae's is twice the size as that of the National Library of Korea, which is the same percentage (85.42%) as that from Nogajae's. However, six types of liquor have been written in its 2 books, respectively, and no overlaps occurred. Considering the Korean alphabet, Nogajae's was published earlier. Nogajae's and the one from the National Library of Korea have 104 kinds of foods (118 times) and 50 kinds of foods (51 times), respectively.
