Stroke-based composite HMMs with articulation states are proposed to deal with 3D spatio-temporal trajectory gestures. The direct use of 3D data provides more naturalness in generating gestures, thereby avoiding some of the constraints usually imposed to prevent performance degradation when trajectory data are projected into a specific 2D plane. Also, the decomposition of gestures into more primitive strokes is quite attractive, since reversely concatenating stroke-based HMMs makes it possible to construct a new set of gesture HMMs without retraining their parameters. Any deterioration in performance arising from decomposition can be remedied by a partial tuning process for such composite HMMs.

It has been known that there is strong relationship between human voices and the movements of the articulatory facial muscles. In this paper, we utilize this knowledge to implement an automatic speech recognition scheme which uses solely surface electromyogram (EMG) signals. The EMG signals were acquired from three articulatory facial muscles. Preliminary, 10 Korean digits were used as recognition variables. The various feature parameters including filter bank outputs, linear predictive coefficients and cepstrum coefficients were evaluated to find the appropriate parameters for EMG-based speech recognition. The sequence of the EMG signals for each word is modelled by a hidden Markov model (HMM) framework. A continuous word recognition approach was investigated in this work. Hence, the model for each word is obtained by concatenating the subword models and the embedded re-estimation techniques were employed in the training stage. The findings indicate that such a system may have a capacity to recognize speech signals with an accuracy of up to 90%, in case when mel-filter bank output was used as the feature parameters for recognition.

This paper describes an approach for classifying myoelectric patterns using a multilayer perceptrons (MLP's) and hidden Markov models (HMM's) hybrid classifier. The dynamic aspects of EMG are important for tasks such as continuous prosthetic control or vari- ous time length EMG signal recognition, which have not been successfully mastered by the most neural approaches. It is known that the hidden Markov model (HMM) is suitable for modeling temporal patterns. In contrasts the multilayer feedforward networks are suitable for static patterns. Ank a lot of investigators have shown that the HMM's to be an excellent tool for handling the dynamical problems. Considering these facts, we suggest the combination of MLP and HMM algorithms that might lead to further improved EMG recognition systems.

본 논문에서 화자공간모델 evolution에 기반한 continuous density hidden Markov model (CDHMM)의 online 적응에 대한 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 학습화자의 a priori knowledge을 나타내는 화자공간모델은 factor analysis (FA) 또는 probabilistic principal component analysis (PPCA)와 같은 은닉변수모델(latent variable model)에 의해 효과적으로 나타내어진다. 은닉 변수모델은 화자공간모델뿐아니라 CDHMM 파라메터의 ajoint prior분포를 표시함으로, maximum a posteriori(MAP)적응기법에 직접 적용되어진다. 화자공간모델의 hyperparameters와 CDHMM파라메터를 동시에 순차적으로 적응하기 위해 quasi-Bayes (QB)추정 기술에 기반한 online 적응기법을 제안한다. 연속숫자음 인식과 관련된 화자적응 실험을 통해 제안된 기법은 적은 적응데이터에서 좋은 성능을 나타내며, 데이터가 증가함에 따라 성능이 지속적으로 증가함을 보여준다.

Diagnosis of pathological voice is one of the important issues in biomedical applications of speech technology. This study focuses on the discrimination of voice disorder using HMM (Hidden Markov Model) for automatic detection between normal voice and vocal fold disorder voice. This is a non-intrusive, non-expensive and fully automated method using only a speech sample of the subject. Speech data from normal people and patients were collected. Mel-frequency filter cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) were modeled by HMM classifier. Different states (3 states, 5 states and 7 states), 3 mixtures and left to right HMMs were formed. This method gives an accuracy of 93.8% for train data and 91.7% for test data in the discrimination of normal and vocal fold disorder voice for sustained /a/.

Automatic word spacing is a process of deciding correct boundaries between words in a sentence including spacing errors. It is very important to increase the readability and to communicate the accurate meaning of text to the reader. The previous statistical approaches for automatic word spacing do not consider the previous spacing state, and thus can not help estimating inaccurate probabilities. In this paper, we propose two statistical word spacing models which can solve the problem of the previous statistical approaches. The proposed models are based on the observation that the automatic word spacing is regarded as a classification problem such as the POS tagging. The models can consider broader context and estimate more accurate probabilities by generalizing hidden Markov models. We have experimented the proposed models under a wide range of experimental conditions in order to compare them with the current state of the art, and also provided detailed error analysis of our models. The experimental results show that the proposed models have a syllable-unit accuracy of 98.33% and Eojeol-unit precision of 93.06% by the evaluation method considering compound nouns.
