In this paper, we introduce an optimization method to improve pursuit performance of a pursuer in a pursuit-evasion game (PEG). Pursuers build a probability map and employ a hybrid pursuit policy which combines the merits of local-max and global-max pursuit policies to search and capture evaders as soon as possible in a 2-dimensional space. We propose an episodic parameter optimization (EPO) algorithm to learn good values for the weighting parameters of a hybrid pursuit policy. The EPO algorithm is performed while many episodes of the PEG are run repeatedly and the reward of each episode is accumulated using reinforcement learning, and the candidate weighting parameter is selected in a way that maximizes the total averaged reward by using the golden section search method. We found the best pursuit policy in various situations which are the different number of evaders and the different size of spaces and analyzed results.

DNA 메틸화는 후성유전학의 한 유형으로 유전자 발현을 조절하여 질병을 비롯한 다양한 생물학적 프로세스에 영향을 준다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 DNA 메틸화 정도와 인간 질병과의 연관성에 관한 연구는 질병의 원인 및 기전을 밝히고 메틸화 프로세스 조절을 통한 질병 치료 방법 개발을 위한 기반이 될 수 있다. 유전자 발현 조절 및 질병 발생은 많은 인자들의 복합적인 상호작용에 영향을 받으므로, 여러 위치에서의 메틸화 정도들의 고차원 조합을 이용한 질병과의 연관 관계 분석이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 진화 연산과 가중치 학습에 기반하여 유방암 발생과 연관되어 있는 메틸화 위치의 고차 상호작용을 탐색할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

Identification and mangement of ecosystem service hotspots are necessary to set environmental policies that include concepts of ecosystem service. Assessment and mapping of ecosystem service hotspot referring areas with high amount of ecosystem services provide essential information to manage ecosystem services effectively. Assessment of hotspots based on regional environmental stakeholders' perception is an useful approach to identify priority areas where management practices are required. This study estimated weights on regulating ecosystem services from regional environmental stakeholders' surveys in Ansan, and then, identified regulating service hotspots with weights. The result indicated that regulating services are, in order of importance, water quality, air quality, erosion, and climate control. The north-eastern forest of Ansan was mainly revealed as an ecosystem service hotspot. Ecosystem service hotspots were spatially distributed similarly regardless of environmental stakeholders' weights. Identification of ecosystem service hotspot with environmental stakeholders' perception can be applied in decision-support tools for ecosystem service management.

This paper proposes a hierarchically structured navigation algorithm for autonomous mobile robot under unknown environment based on fuzzy-neal network. The proposed algorithm consists of two basic layers as follows. The lower layer consists of two parts such as fuzzy algorithm for goal approach and fuzzy-neural algorithm for obstacle avoidance. The upper layer which is basically fuzzy algorithm adjusts the magnitude of the weighting factor depending on the environmental situation. The proposed algorithm provides an efficient method to escape local mimimum points as shown in the simulation result. Most simulation results show that this algorithm is very effective for autonomous mobile robots' traveling in unknown field.

A principal components analysis of the entire median HRIRs in the CIPIC HRTF database reveals that the individual HRIRs can be adequately reconstructed by a linear combination of several orthonormal basis functions. The basis functions represent the inter-individual and inter-elevation variations in median HRIRs. There exist elevation-dependent tendencies in the weights of basis functions, and the basis functions can be ordered according to the magnitude of standard deviation of the weights at each elevation. We propose a HRIR customization method via tuning of the weights of 3 dominant basis functions corresponding to the 3 largest standard deviations at each elevation. Subjective listening test results show that both front-back reversal and vertical perception can be improved with the customized HRIRs.

대분분의 검색 엔진에서 색인어의 추출 및 가중치의 부여방법은 매우 중요한 연구주제로, 검색 엔진의 성능에 큰 영항을 미친다. 일반적으로, 불용어 리스트를 통해 성능에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않는 색인어를 제거하거나, 핵심어 또는 전문용어 등 상대적으로 중요한 색인어를 강조하는 방식을 사용하여 검색엔진의 성능을 향상시킨다. 하지만, 어절 분리, 형태소 분석, 불용어 처리 등 검색엔진의 단계열 처리 과정에서, 개별적인 색인어가 검색엔진에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 이를 반영한 검색 엔진 성능 향상 기법은 제시되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 각 단계별 처리 과정에서 생성된 색인어가 미치는 영항을 계랑화하여 긍정적/부정적 색인어를 분류하는 방법론을 소개하고, 이를 기반으로 색인어 가중치를 조절함으로써 검색 엔진의 성능 또한 향상 가능한 방법을 소개한다.

This paper proposes an intelligent navigation algorithm for multiple mobile robots under unknown dynamic environment. The proposed algorithm consists of three basic parts as follows. The first part based on the fuzzy rule generates the turning angle and moving distance of the robot for goal approach without obstacles. In the second part, using both fuzzy and neural network, the angle and distance of the robot to avoid collision with dynamic and static obstacles are obtained. The final adjustment of the weighting factor based on fuzzy rule for moving and avoiding distance of the robots is provided in the third stage. The experiments which demonstrate the performance of the proposed intelligent controller is described.

In this paper, we discussed the traditional methods of generating digital halftoning image and DCT transform. Then we propose a new and simple halftoning algorithm that is based on DCT transformation. We do the feasibility test to verify the proposed algorithm. So we assessed several images generated by adjusting weights of DCT coefficients. As a result, we got the better result for weights of the ramp function type than for weights of the step function type through experiment. As a simple application, we can apply our algorithm to the MPEG video for generating the halftoning video.

By using an adaptive threshold and weight based on the wavelet transform and Haar transform, a novel image enhancement algorithm is proposed. First, a medical image was decomposed with wavelet transform and all high-frequency sub-images were decomposed with Haar transform. Secondly, noise in the frequency domain was reduced by the proposed soft-threshold method. Thirdly, high-frequency coefficients were enhanced by the proposed weight values in different sub-images. Then, the enhanced image was obtained through the inverse Haar transform and wavelet transform. But the pixel range of the enhanced image is narrower than a normal image. Lastly, the image's histogram was stretched by nonlinear histogram equalization. Experiments showed that the proposed method can be not only enhance an image's details but can also preserve its edge features effectively.

This paper presents a greedy method for user-steered mesh segmentation, which is based on the merging priority metric defined for representing the geometric properties of meaningful parts. The priority metric is a weighted function composed of five geometric parameters: distribution of Gaussian map, boundary path concavity, boundary path length, cardinality, and segmentation resolution. This scheme can be extended without any modification only by defining more geometric parameters and adding them. Our experimental results show that the shapes of segmented parts can be controlled by setting up the weight values of geometric parameters.
