We propose nonlinear GMM-based transformation functions in an attempt to deal with the over-smoothing effects of linear transformation for voice processing. The proposed methods adopt RBF networks as a local transformation function to overcome the drawbacks of global nonlinear transformation functions. In order to obtain high-quality modifications of speech signals, our voice conversion is implemented using the Harmonic plus Noise Model analysis/synthesis framework. Experimental results are reported on the English corpus, MOCHA-TIMIT.

본 논문은 디지털 음성통신에서 사용되는 예측부호화(predictive coding) 방식에 관하여 기술하고 있다. 특히 전송속도가 16∼48kbit/s 대역에서 많이 사용하고 있는 adaptive differential pulse code modulation(ADPCM)과 adaptive delta modulation(ADM)에 관하여 중점적으로 토의한다. 또한 variable-rate ADPCM과 ADM에 관해서 기술하고, 이들 시스템의 noisy channel에서의 효과 및 성능개선방법, 그리고 PCM과의 transcoding에서의 문제점 등을 통의한다. ADPCM은 최근 CCITT에서의 표준화 결과로 앞으로 PCM과 함께 많이 쓰여질 전망이며, ADM은 시스템이 간단하고 또한 channel error에 강한 이유로 특수통신에 많이 쓰여질 것이다.

디지털이라는 말은 우리 일상 생활에서 흔히 듣는다. 시계, 체온계, 체중계, 자동차의 속도계, 혈압계 등 요즘에는 디지털 표시 제품이 아주 많아 졌다 디지털이라는 말을 영어사전에서 찾아보면 '손가락의', '계수형의' 등의 뜻으로 쓰여져 있다. 그리고 측정분야에서 디지털이라는 말은 '이산적', '불연속적' 이라는 뜻이 있으며, 이것은 값이 드문드문 있다는 의미이며, 디지털의 특징으로 미리 정해진 자리수로만 값을 표현할 수 있는 것을 뜻한다. 디지털에 대해 반대 의미를 갖는 것이 아날로그이다. (중략)

The necessity of the filter coefficients compensation for the LTJ adaptive filter was explained generally and easily by analyzing it with respect to the time-varying transform domain adaptive filter. And also the reduction method of computational complexity for filter coefficients compensation was proposed and its effectiveness was verified through experiments using artificial and real speech signals. The proposed adaptive filter reduces the computational complexity for filter coefficients compensation by 95%, and when the filter is applied to the acoustic echo canceller with 1000 taps, the total complexity is reduced by 82%

본 논문에서는 분절 특징을 모수적 궤적 모델을 이용하여 표현하고, 이 특징을 분절 HMM(segmental HMM)의 입력으로 하는 음성 신호의 모델링 방식을 제안한다. 분절 특징은 음성의 경향을 나타내는 궤적으로 표현되고, 그 궤적은 연속되는 프레임 상에서 전이 정보를 포함하도록 디자인 행렬과 다항식의 회귀 함수를 이용하여 구해진다. 이 궤적을 분절 HMM에 적용하기 위하여, 외적 분절 변이와 내적 분절 변이에 대한 확률 분포 표현을 개선하였다. 제안된 방법의 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 TIMIT 데이터 베이스를 이용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 분절 특징은 음성 신호의 인접한 프레임간의 상관관계를 표현하는 동적 특징과 같은 효과를 보였으며, 1차 미분계수를 포함하여 분절 특징을 구한 경우에는 기존의 특징 표현보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Condition monitoring is very important in turbo machinery because single failure could cause critical damages to its plant. So, automatic fault recognition has been one of the main research topics in condition monitoring area. We have used a relatively new fault recognition method, Hidden Markov Model(HMM), for mechanical system. It has been widely used in speech recognition, however, its application to fault recognition of mechanical signal has been very limited despite its good potential. In this paper, discrete HMM(DHMM) was used to recognize the faults of rotor system to study its fault recognition ability. We set up a rotor kit under unbalance and oil whirl conditions and sampled vibration signals of two failure conditions. DHMMS of each failure condition were trained using sampled signals. Next, we changed the setup and the rotating speed of the rotor kit. We sampled vibration signals and each DHMM was applied to these sampled data. It was found that DHMMs trained by data of one rotating speed have shown good fault recognition ability in spite of lack of training data, but DHMMs trained by data of four different rotating speeds have shown better robustness.

Classification of moving targets in Pulse Doppler Radar(PDR) for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes is generally carried out based on listening and training experience of Doppler audio signals by radar operator. In this paper, we proposed the automatic classification method to identify the class of moving target with Doppler audio signals using the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCC) and the Hidden Markov Model(HMM) algorithm which are widely used in speech recognition and the classification performance was analyzed and verified by simulations.

This paper proposes a Gaussian mixture model(GMM)-based music discrimination system for FM broadcasting. The objective of the system is automatically archiving music signals from audio broadcasting programs that are normally mixed with human voices, music songs, commercial musics, and other sounds. To improve the system performance, make it more robust and to accurately cut the starting/ending-point of the recording, we also added a post-processing module. Experimental results on various input signals of FM radio programs under PC environments show excellent performance of the proposed system. The fixed-point simulation shows the same results under 3MIPS computational power.

Blind Source Separation (BSS) is a technique used to separate supposed independent sources of signals from a given set of observations. In this paper, the High Exploration Particle Swarm Optimization (HEPSO) algorithm, which is an enhancement of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, has been used to separate a set of source signals. Compared to PSO algorithm, HEPSO algorithm depends on two additional operators. The first operator is based on the multi-crossover mechanism of the genetic algorithm while the second one relies on the bee colony mechanism. Both operators have been employed to update the velocity and the position of the particles respectively. Thus, they are used to find the optimal separating matrix. The proposed method enhances the overall efficiency of the standard PSO in terms of good exploration and performance. Based on many tests realized on speech and music signals supplied by the BSS demo, experimental results confirm the robustness and the accuracy of the introduced BSS technique.

This study outlines two viewpoints the classification of phone likely unit (PLU) which is the foundation of korean large vocabulary speech recognition, and the effectiveness of Chiljongseong (7 Final Consonants) and Paljogseong (8 Final Consonants) of the korean language. The phone likely classifies the phoneme phonetically according to the location of and method of articulation, and about 50 phone-likely units are utilized in korean speech recognition. In this study auditory phonetical knowledge was applied to the classification of phone likely unit to present 45 phone likely unit. The vowels 'ㅔ, ㅐ'were classified as phone-likely of (ee) ; 'ㅒ, ㅖ' as [ye] ; and 'ㅚ, ㅙ, ㅞ' as [we]. Secondly, the Chiljongseong System of the draft for unified spelling system which is currently in use and the Paljongseonggajokyong of Korean script haerye were illustrated. The question on whether the phonetic value on 'ㄷ' and 'ㅅ' among the phonemes used in the final consonant of the korean fan guage is the same has been argued in the academic world for a long time. In this study, the transition stages of Korean consonants were investigated, and Ciljonseeng and Paljongseonggajokyong were utilized in speech recognition, and its effectiveness was verified. The experiment was divided into isolated word recognition and speech recognition, and in order to conduct the experiment PBW452 was used to test the isolated word recognition. The experiment was conducted on about 50 men and women - divided into 5 groups - and they vocalized 50 words each. As for the continuous speech recognition experiment to be utilized in the materialized stock exchange system, the sentence corpus of 71 stock exchange sentences and speech corpus vocalizing the sentences were collected and used 5 men and women each vocalized a sentence twice. As the result of the experiment, when the Paljongseonggajokyong was used as the consonant, the recognition performance elevated by an average of about 1.45% : and when phone likely unit with Paljongseonggajokyong and auditory phonetic applied simultaneously, was applied, the rate of recognition increased by an average of 1.5% to 2.02%. In the continuous speech recognition experiment, the recognition performance elevated by an average of about 1% to 2% than when the existing 49 or 56 phone likely units were utilized.
