Application of VGG Architecture to Detect Korean Syllables Based on Image Text

Korean culture began to spread widely throughout the world, ranging from lifestyle, music, food, and drinks, and there are still many exciting things from this Korean culture. One of the interesting things to learn is to know Korean letters (Hangul), which are non-Latin characters. If the Hangul letters have been learned, the next thing that lay people must learn is the Korean syllables, which are different from the Indonesian syllables. Because of the difficulty of learning Korean syllables, understanding a sentence needed a system to recognize Korean syllables. Therefore, in this study designing a system to acknowledge Korean syllables, the method used is Convolutional Neural Network with VGG architecture. The system performs the process of detecting Korean syllables based on models that have been trained using 72 syllable classes. The tests on 72 Korean syllable classes obtain an average accuracy of 96%, an average precision value of 96%, an average recall value of 100%, and an average F1 score of 98%.
