For speech recognition systems, rejection function as well as decoding function is necessary to improve the reliability. There have been many research efforts on out-of-vocabulary word rejection, however, little attention has been paid on non-target sentence rejection. Recently pronunciation approaches using speech recognition increase the need for non-target sentence rejection to provide more accurate and robust results. In this paper, we proposed filler model method and word/phoneme detection ratio method to implement non-target sentence rejection system. We made performance evaluation of filler model along to word-level, phoneme-level, and sentence-level filler models respectively. We also perform the similar experiment using word-level and phoneme-level word/phoneme detection ratio method. For the performance evaluation, the minimized average of FAR and FRR is used for comparing the effectiveness of each method along with the number of words of given sentences. From the experimental results, we got to know that word-level method outperforms the other methods, and word-level filler mode shows slightly better results than that of word detection ratio method.

Research efforts have been made for out-of-vocabulary word rejection to improve the confidence of speech recognition systems. However, little attention has been paid to non-recognition sentence rejection. According to the appearance of pronunciation correction systems using speech recognition technology, it is needed to reject non-recognition sentences to provide users with more accurate and robust results. In this paper, we introduce standard phoneme based sentence rejection system with no need of special filler models. Instead we used word spotting ratio to determine whether input sentences would be accepted or rejected. Experimental results show that we can achieve comparable performance using only standard phoneme based recognition network in terms of the average of FRR and FAR.

With the development of electronic journals and the emergence of various interdisciplinary studies, the selection of journals for publication has become a new challenge for researchers. Even if a paper is of high quality, it may face rejection due to a mismatch between the paper's topic and the scope of the journal. While research on assisting researchers in journal selection has been actively conducted in English, the same cannot be said for Korean journals. In this study, we propose a system that recommends Korean journals for submission. Firstly, we utilize SBERT (Sentence BERT) to embed abstracts of previously published papers at the document level, compare the similarity between new documents and published papers, and recommend journals accordingly. Next, the order of recommended journals is determined by considering the similarity of abstracts, keywords, and title. Subsequently, journals that are similar to the top recommended journal from previous stage are added by using a dictionary of words constructed for each journal, thereby enhancing recommendation diversity. The recommendation system, built using this approach, achieved a Top-10 accuracy level of 76.6%, and the validity of the recommendation results was confirmed through user feedback. Furthermore, it was found that each step of the proposed framework contributes to improving recommendation accuracy. This study provides a new approach to recommending academic journals in the Korean language, which has not been actively studied before, and it has also practical implications as the proposed framework can be easily applied to services.

음성인식 시스템에서 입력된 음성 데이터에 대해 비인식 대상에 대한 거부기능은 신뢰도 보장 측면에서 상당히 중요하다. 비인식 대상의 단어 거부는 지금까지 여러 연구가 이루어져 왔으나, 문장 거부에 대한 연구는 사실상 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 비인식 대상 문장 거부기능의 신뢰도를 한층 높일 수 있도록 음소 기반 네트워크에 유성자음(VC), 무성자음(C), 모음(V) 단위의 필러 음향 모델을 생성하여 다양한 음소기반 인식 네트워크의 구성방법을 적용하여 비인식 대상 문장에 대해 거부 기능을 구현하고, 그에 따라 인식률과 거부율이 달라질 수 있음을 보인다. 구현된 시스템에서 제안한 3가지 음소단위 인식 네트워크 중 문장의 각 단어별 필러 모델을 구성했을 때가 가장 좋은 구성임을 알 수 있었다.

음성인식 시스템에서 입력된 음성 데이터에 대해 비인식 대상을 거부하는 기능은 신뢰도 보장 측면에 있어서 상당히 중요하며, 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서는 단순한 인식기능 외에 부적절한 입력 패턴의 거부 기능이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 신뢰성 문제를 해결하기 위하여 음소기반 인식 네트워크에서 필러 모델 방법과 단어 검출률 방법을 사용하여 실험하였고, 문장의 단어 수에 따른 두 방법의 문장 거부 성능을 FAR과 FRR의 평균을 최소화 하는 값을 각각 구함으로써 비교${\cdot}$분석 하였다. 그 결과 필러모델 방법이 좀 더 나은 거부 성능을 보였고, 단어 검출률을 이용하는 방법이 인식 네트워크를 전부 거치지 않아도 되므로 실행속도와 메모리 절약에서 효과적이었다.

In this paper, we study the usage of phoneme duration information for rejection garbage sentence. First, we build a phoneme duration modeling in a speech recognition system based on dicicion tree state tying, We assume that phone duration has a Gamma distribution. Next, we build a verification module in which word-level confidence measure is used. Finally, we make a comparative study on phoneme duration with speech DB obtained from the live system. This DB consistes of OOT(out-of-task) and ING(in-grammar) utterences. the usage of phone duration information yields that OOT recognition rate is improved by 46％ and that another 8.4％ error rate is reduced when combined with utterence verification module.

In this paper, I attempted to show that 'Sorensen's Sorites' is not a successful argument for the vagueness of 'vague'. There are a lot of debates about it, but the central issue is whether Sorensen's Sorites is just small sorites; whether the vagueness certified by Sorensen's Sorites is just the vagueness of 'small'. Deas and Hull thought it was and rejected Sorensen's proof based on his sorites. But their rejection was rebutted by Varzi. The basis of his argument is that the subject of Sorensen's sentences - 'n-small' is vague - is not used but mentioned. I tried to reply on behalf of Deas and Hull and to show that the predicate 'vague' has not any effect on determining the truth value of "'n-small' is vague." Then it can be removed from the sentence. Of course I approve 'vague' is a homological term. What I do not agree with is only Sorensen's argument.
