This paper proposes a speaker recognition algorithm using a perceptron neural network and LPC (Linear Predictive Coding) cepstrum coefficients. The proposed algorithm first detects the voiced sections at each frame. Then, the LPC cepstrum coefficients which have speaker characteristics are obtained by the linear predictive analysis for the detected voiced sections. To classify the obtained LPC cepstrum coefficients, a neural network is trained using the LPC cepstrum coefficients. In this experiment, the performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated using the speech recognition rates based on the LPC cepstrum coefficients and the neural network.

This paper proposes a gender recognition algorithm which classifies a male or female speaker. In this paper, characteristic vectors for the male and female speaker are analyzed, and recognition experiments for the proposed gender recognition by a neural network are performed using these characteristic vectors for the male and female. Input characteristic vectors of the proposed neural network are 10 LPC (Linear Predictive Coding) cepstrum coefficients, 12 LPC cepstrum coefficients, 12 FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) cepstrum coefficients and 1 RMS (Root Mean Square), and 12 LPC cepstrum coefficients and 8 FFT spectrum. The proposed neural network trained by 20-20-2 network are especially used in this experiment, using 12 LPC cepstrum coefficients and 8 FFT spectrum. From the experiment results, the average recognition rates obtained by the gender recognition algorithm is 99.8% for the male speaker and 96.5% for the female speaker.

In this study, eight function discrimination and recognition of the EMG signal from the biceps and triceps of 4 subjects were executed, using the Euclidean and weighted cepstral distance measure with LPC cepstrum coefficients. In case of Euclidean cepstral distance measure, as the number of LPC cepstrum coefficients was increased in 8, 10, 12, 14 the recognition rates of functions are 94.69, 95.63, 96.56, and 96.88[%], respectively, but increasing rates of recognition were inclined to decrease. In case of weighted cepstral distance measure, when the number of LPC cepstrum coefficients was 8, 10, 12 and 14, the recognition rates of functions were 91.88, 95, 99.69, and 96.63[%], respectively.

본 논문에서는 인간의 감정 변화의 영향을 적게 받는 음성 인식 시스템의 특정 파라메터에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 다양한 감정이 포함된 음성 데이터베이스를 사용하여 감정 변화가 음성 인식 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향과 감정 변화의 영향을 적게 받는 특정 파라메터에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 LPC 켑스트럼 계수, 멜 켑스트럼 계수, 루트 켑스트럼 계수, PLP 계수와 RASTA 처리를 한 멜 켑스트럼 계수와 음성의 에너지를 사용하였다. 또한 음성에 포함된 편의(bias)를 제거하는 방법으로 CMS 와 SBR 방법을 사용하여 그 성능을 비교하였다. HMM 기반의 화자독립 단어 인식기를 사용한 실험 결과에서 RASTA 멜 켑스트럼과 델타 켑스트럼을 사용하고 신호편의 제거 방법으로 CMS를 사용한 경우에 가장 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 이러한 것은 멜 켑스트럼을 사용한 기준 시스템과 비교하여 59%정도 오차가 감소된 것이다.

This paper studied the feature parameters less affected by the emotional variation for the development of the robust speech recognition technologies. For this purpose, the effect of emotional variation on the speech recognition system and robust feature parameters of speech recognition system were studied using speech database containing various emotions. In this study, LPC cepstral coefficient, met-cepstral coefficient, root-cepstral coefficient, PLP coefficient, RASTA met-cepstral coefficient were used as a feature parameters. And CMS and SBR method were used as a signal bias removal techniques. Experimental results showed that the HMM based speaker independent word recognizer using RASTA met-cepstral coefficient :md its derivatives and CMS as a signal bias removal showed the best performance of $7.05\%$ word error rate. This corresponds to about a $52\%$ word error reduction as compare to the performance of baseline system using met - cepstral coefficient.

In this paper the possibility of snorer-dependent snore recognition using cepstral coefficients was suggested. We assumed that snore and speech sounds have some similarities and we used cepstral coefficients which are widely used for speech recognition. Snoring data were acquired from 18 persons including 5 patients diagnosed as snore patient. To evaluate the performance of proposed method, the distance ratio based on LPC cepstral coefficients was selected as an index for snorer-dependent snore recognition. As a result, distance ratio of 3 was selected as optimal value showing the most efficient snorer-dependent snore recognition, which is high accuracy of 95.05％ on average. In conclusion, the proposed method showed the possibilities to be applied in clinical applications for snorer-dependent snore recognition.

음소의 확률적 분포를 이용하는 음소 HMM 모델을 결정하기 위한 여러 가지 거리 측정방법에 대한 연구이다. 음소 HMM 모델 결정을 위해서 LPC 계수를 이용하고, 거리 측정자를 LPC 계수, LPC 스첵트럼, LPC 켑스트럼 등의 파라미터를 이용하고, 또한 양자화 과정은 k-means 와 LBG 알고리즘을 혼합한 하이브리드 알고리듬을 사용하였다. LPC 코드북을 구성하기 위해 세 가지 파라미터를 유클리디안 거리로 거리측정에 이용하였다. 이렇게 양자화한 파라미터의 평균과 분산을 구하고, 양자화한 파라미터 코드북의 확률갑승ㄹ 비교해 한국어 음소 HMM 모델 결정을 위한 거리 측정 파라미터를 비교하였으며, 그 결과 LPC 계수를 주파수 영역으로 변환하여 유클리디안 거리를 이용한 코드북의 분산이 작으므로 상대적으로 높은 확률을 가짐을 보았다.

A voice personality transformation algorithm using orthogonal vector space conversion is proposed in this paper. Voice personality transformation is the process of changing one person's acoustic features (source) to those of another person (target). In this paper, personality transformation is achieved by changing the LPC cepstrum coefficients, excitation spectrum and pitch contour. An orthogonal vector space conversion technique is proposed to transform the LPC cepstrum coefficients. The LPC cepstrum transformation is implemented by principle component decomposition by applying the Karhunen-Loeve transformation and minimum mean-square error coordinate transformation(MSECT). Additionally, we propose a pitch contour modification method to transform the prosodic characteristics of any speaker. To do this, reference pitch patterns for source and target speaker are firstly built up, and speaker's one. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in both subjective and objective evaluations.
