Using mother tongue in English classroom is controversial. Native speaking instructors seem to be for English-only classes whereas many Korean teachers of English feel it's effective to conduct classes in Korean especially for explaining usages and functions of certain grammar or new vocabulary. In fact, many studies have supported using mother tongue. However, excessive use of it hinders students from practicing the target language. Obviously it doesn't necessarily have to be all or nothing system. The study shows the positive role of mother tongue in written form based on the results of the students' academic performance at Chung-Ang University's summer program 2000. The results indicate that using mother tongue in written form helps beginning level students understand grammar and vocabulary more effectively, leads them to do better on tests than those of English-only class, and encourages them to actively get involved in class discussion and responses.

면접자나 면접관이나 인재들이 해당 조직에서 일을 해보지 않고서는 조직문화와 직무에 적합한지에 대해 확신 할 수 없고 만약 적합하지 않다면 면접자나 조직이나 서로 피해를 입는 상황이 발생한다. 이러한 상황들을 개선하기 위해 감성 어휘를 기반으로 한 이미지 스케일과 감성어휘 분류 시스템을 분석한다. 또한 면접자들의 이력서와 자기소개서에 있는 단어들을 분석하여 조직문화와 해당 직무에 적합한 인재 선발에 참고 자료를 제공할 수 있는 감성 어휘를 기반으로 한 인재 검색 시스템에 기초가 되는 이미지 스케일과 감성 어휘 분류체계에 대해 연구한다.

영어 교육 시장 확대로 다양한 영어 학습 시스템이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 어휘의 문맥적 이해와 효과적인 학습 방법을 결합한 지능형 어휘 학습 시스템에 대한 연구는 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 임의의 n 개 영어 단어가 한 그룹으로 제시되고, 이들을 모두 포함한 예문을 제공하는 지능형 영어 어휘 학습 시스템을 개발한다. 본 연구에서는 임의의 n 개 영어 단어가 주어졌을 때 문맥에 맞는 영어 예문을 자동으로 생성하는 모델을 개발하였다. 어휘 평가를 바탕으로 자동으로 취약 어휘를 선정하며 학습자들이 해당 어휘를 학습 할 수 있도록 진행한다. 본 연구에서 개발한 지능형 영어 어휘 학습 시스템의 사용성 평가를 위해 설문 검사를 실시하였다. 설문 결과는 문맥 및 어휘 그룹 기반의 지능형 영어 학습 시스템은 사용자들이 사용하기 편리하고 어휘 능력을 향상시키는데 도움이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

In a template-matchig-based speech recognition syste, excessive weight given to perceptually unimportant spectral variations is undesirable for discriminating among acoustically similar words. By introducing a simple threshold-type nonlinearity applied to the distance metric, the word recognition performance can be improved for a vocabulary with similar sounding words, without modifying the system structure.

This paper describes development of small scale voice dialing system using TMS320C30. Recognition vocabuliary is used 50 department name within university. In vocabulary below the middle scale, word unit recognition is more practice than phoneme unit or syllable unit recognition. In this paper, we performend recognition and model generation using DMS(Dynamic Multi-Section) and implemeted voice dialing system using TMS320C30. As a result of recognition, we achieved a 98% recognition rate in condition of section 22 and weight 0.6 and recognition time took 4 seconds.

We propose an efficient pre-classification algorithm extracting candidate words to reduce the recognition time in a large-vocabulary recognition system and also propose the use of spectral and temporal smoothing of the observation probability to improve its classification performance. The proposed algorithm computes the coarse likelihood score for each word in a lexicon using the observation probabilities of speech spectra and duration information of recognition units. With the proposed approach we could reduce the computational amount by 74% with slight degradation of recognition accuracy in 1160-word recognition system based on the phoneme-level HMM. Also, we observed that the proposed coarse likelihood score computation algorithm is a good estimator of the likelihood score computed by the Viterbi algorithm.

'Emotional value' has been a buzz word for design and ergonomics in the era of business innovation. However, the complication of 'emotion' in terms of literal and practical meaning has made it a challenging but confusing task for designers to develop a new product with emotional value. 'Sensibility' and 'emotion' are interchangeable terms to describe human feeling ('gamsung' in Korean). The confusion reached at its peak with Korean terms. Even scholars in Korean language, psychologists, ergonomists, and designers are bewildered at the choice of proper expression for human feeling in both Korean and English. The difficulty could explain the problems in 'sensibility ergonomics' in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to provide both fundamental and satisfying information with people in the area of 'sensibility ergonomics'. Therefore, in this paper, a number of articles and books on sensibility, psychology, sensibility ergonomics, and design were reviewed to clarify the meaning of sensibility and relationship among similar words that have been used with unintentional misunderstanding. Also many adjectives on human sensibility were collected and complied for the use of sensibility evaluation.

In emergency dispatching at 119 Command & Dispatch Center, some inconsistencies between the 'standard emergency aid system' and 'dispatch protocol,' which are both mandatory to follow, cause inefficiency in the dispatcher's performance. If an emergency dispatch system uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) to process the dispatcher's protocol speech during the case registration, it instantly extracts and provides the required information specified in the 'standard emergency aid system,' making the rescue command more efficient. For this purpose, we have developed a Korean large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system for 400,000 words to be used for the emergency dispatch system. The 400,000 words include vocabulary from news, SNS, blogs and emergency rescue domains. Acoustic model is constructed by using 1,300 hours of telephone call (8 kHz) speech, whereas language model is constructed by using 13 GB text corpus. From the transcribed corpus of 6,600 real telephone calls, call logs with emergency rescue command class and identified major symptom are extracted in connection with the rescue activity log and National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS). ASR is applied to emergency dispatcher's repetition utterances about the patient information. Based on the Levenshtein distance between the ASR result and the template information, the emergency patient information is extracted. Experimental results show that 9.15% Word Error Rate of the speech recognition performance and 95.8% of emergency response detection performance are obtained for the emergency dispatch system.

This study is to implement the search system of human sensibility ergonomics in the internet shopping mall, which is a the electronic commerce in the contemporary as a shopping culture on the internet. Instead a category of business, an item, cost & size is using the keyword of a search in a existing shopping mall, the research is accomplished the center of system selecting products by the sensitivity feeling in products. The search system chooses the proper item and makes database with the sensible vocabulary for its image and then searches the item chosen by customers with keywords of the vocabulary after constructing web-server on the internet. This study - systematizes customers' sensible needs with more practical ways. - recognize the customers' sense on items and provides the applied technology conditions tor customers. - gives more opportunities of choice to customers on the internet shopping mall. - supplies various information and approaches to the customers' needs with practice.

This paper is a study on the word recognition using neural network. A limited vocabulary, speaker independent, isolated word recognition system has been built. This system recognizes isolated word without performing segmentation, phoneme identification, or dynamic time wrapping. It needs a static pattern approach to recognize a spatio-temporal pattern. The preprocessing only includes preceding and tailing silence removal, and word length determination. A LPC analysis is performed on each of 24 equally spaced frames. The PARCOR coefficients plus 3 other features from each frame is extracted. In order to simplify a structure of neural network, we composed binary code form to decrease output nodes.
