In continuous vocabulary recognition system by statistical method vocabulary recognition to be performed using probability distribution it also modeling using phoneme clustering for based sample probability parameter presume. When vocabulary search that low recognition rate problem happened in express vocabulary result from presumed probability parameter by not defined phoneme and insert phoneme and it has it's bad points of gaussian model the accuracy unsecure for one clustering modeling. To improve suggested probability distribution mixed gaussian model to optimized for based resemble Euclidean and Bhattacharyya distance measurement method mixed clustering modeling that system modeling for be searching phoneme probability model in clustered model. System performance as a result of represent vocabulary dependence recognition rate of 98.63%, vocabulary independence recognition rate of 97.91%.

Established continuous vocabulary recognition system improved recognition rate by using decision tree based tying modeling method. However, since system model cannot support the retrieve of phoneme data, it is hard to secure the accuracy. In order to improve this problem, we remodeled a system that could retrieve probabilistic model from continuous vocabulary clustering model to phoneme unit. Therefore in this paper showed 95.88%of recognition rate in system performance.

This paper discribes the method associated with modeling of Korean phonemes. Hidden Markov models(HMM's) may be viewed as an effective technique for modeling the inherent nonstationarity of speech signal. We propose a 3-state phoneme model to represent the sequentially changing characteristics of phonemes, i.e., transition-to-stationary-to-transition. Also we clarify that the duration of a phoneme is an important factor to have an effect in recognition accuracy and show that improvement in recognition rate can be obtained by using duration-dependent 3-state hidden Markov models.

In this paper, we show a study on how to model a phoneme of which acoustic feature is changed according to both left-hand and right-hand phonemes. For this purpose, we make a comparative study on two kinds of algorithms; a unit reduction algorithm and decision tree modeling. The unit reduction algorithm uses only statistical information while the decision tree modeling uses statistical information and Korean acoustical information simultaneously. Especially, we focus on how to model context-dependent phonemes based on decision tree modeling. Finally, we show the recognition rate when context-dependent phonemes are obtained by the decision tree modeling.

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 order to produce high quality synthesized speech, it is very important to get an accurate grapheme-to-phoneme conversion and prosody model from texts using natural language processing. Robust preprocessing for non-Korean characters should also be required. In this paper, we analyzed Korean texts using a morphological analyzer, part-of-speech tagger and syntactic chunker. We present a new grapheme-to-phoneme conversion method for Korean using a hybrid method with a phonetic pattern dictionary and CCV (consonant vowel) LTS (letter to sound) rules, for unlimited vocabulary Korean TTS. We constructed a prosody model using a probabilistic method and decision tree-based method. The probabilistic method atone usually suffers from performance degradation due to inherent data sparseness problems. So we adopted tree-based error correction to overcome these training data limitations.

In this paper, we propose a phoneme duration modeling in a speech recognition system based on disicion tree state tying. We assume that phone duration has a Gamma distribution. In a training mode, we model mean and variance of each state duration in context-independent phone model based on decision tree state tying. In a recognition mode, we get mean and variance of each context-dependent phone duration form state duration information obtaind during training mode. We make a comparative study of the proposed meth with conventinal methods. Our method results in good performance compared with conventional methods.

In this paper, we introduce a method for extracting grapheme-to-phoneme conversion rules from the transcription of speech synthesis database and a prosody modeling method using the light version of ToBI for a Korean conversational style TTS. We focused on representing the characteristics of the conversational speech style and the experimental results show that our proposed methods are suitable for developing a Korean conversional style TTS.

This paper proposes a method for recognizing both phoneme and emotion using a common neural network and a multi-task training method for the common neural network. The common neural network performs the same function for both recognition tasks, which corresponds to the structure of multi-information recognition of human using a single auditory system. The multi-task training conducts a feature modeling that is commonly applicable to multiple information and provides generalized training, which enables to improve the performance by reducing an overfitting occurred in the conventional individual training for each information. A method for increasing phoneme recognition performance is also proposed that applies weight to the phoneme in the multi-task training. When using the same feature vector and neural network, it is confirmed that the proposed common neural network with multi-task training provides higher performance than the individual one trained for each task.

For the practical isolated word recognition system, the ability to reject the out-of -vocabulary(OOV) is required. In this paper, we present a rejection method which uses the clustered phoneme modeling combined with postprocessing by likelihood ratio scoring. Our baseline speech recognition system was based on the whole-word continuous HMM. And 6 clustered phoneme models were generated using statistical method from the 45 context independent phoneme models, which were trained using the phonetically balanced speech database. The test of the rejection performance for speaker independent isolated words recogntion task on the 22 section names shows that our method is superior to the conventional postprocessing method, performing the rejection according to the likelihood difference between the first and second candidates. Furthermore, this clustered phoneme models do not require retraining for the other isolated word recognition system with different vocabulary sets.
