The effects of linear acoustic channels have been analyzed and compensated at mel-frequency feature domain. Unlike popular RASTA filtering our approach incorporates separate filters for each mel-frequency band, which results in better recognition performance for heavy-reverberated speeches.

본 연구는 텍스트 분류를 위한 효율적인 자질선정 방법으로 자질 순위화 기법의 성능을 구체적으로 검토하였다. 지금까지 자질 순위화 기법은 주로 문헌빈도에 기초한 경우가 대부분이며, 상대적으로 용어빈도를 사용한 경우는 많지 않았다. 따라서 텍스트 분류를 위한 자질선정 방법으로 용어빈도와 문헌빈도를 개별적으로 적용한 단일 순위화 기법들의 성능을 살펴본 다음, 양자를 함께 사용하는 조합 순위화 기법의 성능을 검토하였다. 구체적으로 두 개의 실험 문헌집단(Reuters-21578, 20NG)과 5개 분류기(SVM, NB, ROC, TRA, RNN)를 사용하는 환경에서 분류 실험을 진행하였고, 결과의 신뢰성 확보를 위해 5-fold cross validation과 t-test를 적용하였다. 결과적으로, 단일 순위화 기법으로는 문헌빈도 기반의 단일 순위화 기법(chi)이 전반적으로 좋은 성능을 보였다. 또한, 최고 성능의 단일 순위화 기법과 조합 순위화 기법 간에는 유의한 성능 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 충분한 학습문헌을 확보할 수 있는 환경에서는 텍스트 분류의 자질선정 방법으로 문헌빈도 기반의 단일 순위화 기법(chi)을 사용하는 것이 보다 효율적이라 할 수 있다.

Joint time-frequency images of the broadband acoustic echoes of six fish species were obtained using the smoothed pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution (SPWVD). The acoustic features were extracted by changing the sliced window widths and dividing the time window by a 0.02-ms interval and the frequency window by a 20-kHz bandwidth. The 22 spectrum amplitudes obtained in the time and frequency domains of the SPWVD images were fed as input parameters into an artificial neural network (ANN) to verify the effectiveness for species-dependent features related to fish species identification. The results showed that the time-frequency approach improves the extraction of species-specific features for species identification from broadband echoes, compare with time-only or frequency-only features. The ANN classifier based on these acoustic feature components was correct in approximately 74.5% of the test cases. In the future, the identification rate will be improved using time-frequency images with reduced dimensions of the broadband acoustic echoes as input for the ANN classifier.

The distortion effects of microphones have been analyzed and compensated at mel-frequency feature domain. Unlike popular bias removal algorithms a linear transformation of mel-frequency spectrum is incorporated. Although a diagonal matrix transformation is sufficient for medium-quality microphones, a full-matrix transform is required for low-quality microphones with severe nonlinearity. Proposed compensation algorithms are tested with HTIMIT database, which resulted in about 5 percents improvements in recognition rate over conventional CMS algorithm.

A new data-driven method for the design of a blind modulation frequency filter that suppresses the slow-varying noise components is proposed. The proposed method is based on the temporal local decorrelation of the feature vector sequence, and is done on an utterance-by-utterance basis. Although the conventional modulation frequency filtering approaches the same form regardless of the task and environment conditions, the proposed method can provide an adaptive modulation frequency filter that outperforms conventional methods for each utterance. In addition, the method ultimately performs channel normalization in a feature domain with applications to log-spectral parameters. The performance was evaluated by speaker-independent isolated-word recognition experiments under additive noise environments. The proposed method achieved outstanding improvement for speech recognition in environments with significant noise and was also effective in a range of feature representations.

The rapid growth of the World Wide Web and online information services has generated and made accessible a huge number of text documents. To analyze texts, selecting important keywords is an essential step. In this paper, we propose a feature selection method that combines a term frequency-inverse document frequency technique and symmetrical conditional probability. The proposed method can identify features with N-gram, the sequential multiword. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a real text data from the machine learning repository, University of California, Irvine.

This paper presents a new method of classification of the induction machine faults using Time Frequency Representation, Particle Swarm Optimization and artificial neural network. The essence of the feature extraction is to project from faulty machine to a low size signal time-frequency representation (TFR), which is deliberately designed for maximizing the separability between classes, a distinct TFR is designed for each class. The feature vectors size is optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization method (PSO). The classifier is designed using an artificial neural network. This method allows an accurate classification independently of load level. The introduction of the PSO in the classification procedure has given good results using the reduced size of the feature vectors obtained by the optimization process. These results are validated on a 5.5-kW induction motor test bench.

본 논문에서는 해저 퇴적물 분류를 위한 특징 추출 기법을 제안하고 검증한다. 기존 연구에서는 주파수의 영향이 없는 반사계수를 이용하여 퇴적물을 분류해 왔다. 그러나 해저 퇴적물의 음향 감쇠계수는 주파수의 함수이며 퇴적 성분에 따라 서로 다른 특성을 나타낸다. 따라서 주파수에 따른 감쇠계수 변화량을 이용하여 특징벡터를 생성하였다. 감쇠계수 변화량은 Chirp 신호에 의해 생성된 두 번째 층 반사신호를 이용하여 추정한다. Chirp 신호의 다중대역 특징이 다차원 벡터를 형성하기 때문에 기존의 방법에 비해 우수한 특성을 갖는다. 반사계수에 의한 분류 성능과 비교하기 위해 선형 판별 분석법 (LDA, Linear Discriminant Analysis)를 이용하여 차원을 축소하였다. Biot 모델을 이용하여 모의실험 환경을 구축하고 Fisher score와 MLD(Maximum Likelihood Decision)를 기반의 분류 정확도를 이용해 제안된 특징을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 특징은 반사계수에 비해 높은 변별력을 보이며, 측정 및 깊이 추정오차에도 강인한 특성을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 행렬 분해 (Matrix Factorization)를 이용하여 음성 스펙트럼의 부분적 특정을 나타낼 수 있는 새로운 음성 파라마터를 제안한다. 제안된 파라미터는 행렬내의 모든 원소가 음수가 아니라는 조건에서 행렬분해 과정을 거치게 되고 고차원의 데이터가 효과적으로 축소되어 나타남을 알 수 있다. 차원 축소된 데이터는 입력 데이터의 부분적인 특성을 표현한다. 음성 특징 추출 과정에서 일반적으로 사용되는 멜 필터뱅크 (Mel-Filter Bank)의 출력 을 Non-Negative 행렬 분해(NMF:Non-Negative Matrix Factorization) 알고리즘의 입 력으로 사용하고, 알고리즘을 통해 차원 축소된 데이터를 음성인식기의 입력으로 사용하여 멜 주파수 캡스트럼 계수 (MFCC: Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient)의 인식결과와 비교해 보았다. 인식결과를 통하여 일반적으로 음성인식기의 성능평가를 위해 사용되는 MFCC에 비하여 제안된 특정 파라미터가 인식 성능이 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a feature extraction method using wavelet transform for speech recognition. Speech recognition system generally carries out the recognition task based on speech features which are usually obtained via time-frequency representations such as Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Linear Predictive Coding(LPC). In some respects these methods may not be suitable for representing highly complex speech characteristics. They map the speech features with same may not frequency resolutions at all frequencies. Wavelet transform overcomes some of these limitations. Wavelet transform captures signal with fine time resolutions at high frequencies and fine frequency resolutions at low frequencies, which may present a significant advantage when analyzing highly localized speech events. Based on this motivation, this paper investigates the effectiveness of wavelet transform for feature extraction of wavelet transform for feature extraction focused on enhancing speech recognition. The proposed method is implemented using Sampled Continuous Wavelet Transform (SCWT) and its performance is tested on a speaker-independent isolated word recognizer that discerns 50 Korean words. In particular, the effect of mother wavelet employed and number of voices per octave on the performance of proposed method is investigated. Also the influence on the size of mother wavelet on the performance of proposed method is discussed. Throughout the experiments, the performance of proposed method is discussed. Throughout the experiments, the performance of proposed method is compared with the most prevalent conventional method, MFCC (Mel0frequency Cepstral Coefficient). The experiments show that the recognition performance of the proposed method is better than that of MFCC. But the improvement is marginal while, due to the dimensionality increase, the computational loads of proposed method is substantially greater than that of MFCC.
