In this paper, we propose an study of the facial emotion recognition considering the dynamical variation of emotional state in facial image sequences. The proposed system consists of two main step: facial image based emotional feature extraction and emotional state classification/recognition. At first, we propose a method for extracting and analyzing the emotional feature region using a combination of Active Shape Model (ASM) and Facial Action Units (FAUs). And then, it is proposed that emotional state classification and recognition method based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) type of dynamic Bayesian network. Also, we adopt a Harmony Search (HS) algorithm based heuristic optimization procedure in a parameter learning of HMM in order to classify the emotional state more accurately. By using all these methods, we construct the emotion recognition system based on variations of the dynamic facial image sequence and make an attempt at improvement of the recognition performance.

In this paper, we develope a water demand forecasting algorithm using AR(Auto-regressive) and MLP(Multi-layer perceptron). To show effectiveness of the proposed method, we analyzed characteristics of time-series data collected in "A" purification plant at Jeon-Buk province during 2007-2008, and then performed the proposed method with various input factors selected through various analyses. As noted in experimental results, the performance of three types model such as multi-regressive, AR(Auto-regressive), and AR+MLP(Auto-regressive + Multi-layer perceptron) show 5.1%, 3.8%, and 3.6% with respect to MAPE(Mean Absolute Percentage Error), respectively. Thus, it is noted that the proposed method can be used to predict short-term water demand for the efficient operation of a water purification plant.

최근 집중 호우로 인한 내수침수 피해가 도시화와 기후변화로 늘어나고 있다. 내수침수 피해로 인한 복구비용과 시간이 증가하고 있으며 향후에는 이보다 더 크게 늘어날 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 충분한 선행시간을 가지고 내수 침수 구역을 제시할 수 있어야 한다. 기존의 물리적 모델은 정확하고 정교한 결과를 제공하지만, 시뮬레이션을 준비하고 마치는 데에 시간이 많이 소요된다. 그 이유로서는 강우량, 지형적 특성, 배수관망 시스템, 수문학적 매개변수 등의 다양한 데이터도 필요하기 때문이다. 이는 도시유역에 대한 내수침수의 실시간 예측이 어렵게 되었으며, 충분한 선행시간을 확보하지 못하는 원인이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제에 대한 해결책으로 결정론적 방법과 확률론적 방법을 자료지향형 모형으로 결합하여 해결책을 제시하고자 하며, 특정 강우 조건하에 도시유역에서의 내수침수에 영향을 미치는 맨홀에 대한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 위와 같은 과정을 수행하기 위하여 입력자료 조합에 대한 비선형 분석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과로 특정 강우 조건에 대하여 각 맨홀에 대한 누적월류량을 예측할 수 있는 비선형 인공신경망을 구축할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 방법론은 국내의 강남 배수분구에 대하여 적용이 되었으며, 내수침수 예측결과와 2차원 해석결과를 비교하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 위 과정을 통하여 1차원 도시유출해석을 위한 입력 자료를 준비하는 시간을 절약하고, 다양한 강우 조건과 내수침수지도 사이의 연관성을 학습하는 예측 모형을 이용하여 도시유역의 내수침수에 대한 충분한 선행시간을 확보하고자 한다. 결론적으로, 이 연구의 결과는 도시유역에 대한 비구조적 대책 수립에 도움을 줄 것으로 확인이 되며 도시 유역 내에 맨홀 위치들을 고려한 위험지구를 파악하는 데에 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, there is a demand for efficient program development of an IoT application support frameworks considering heterogeneous hardware characteristics. In addition, the scope of hardware support is expanding with the development of neuromorphic architecture that mimics the human brain to learn on their own and enables autonomous computing. However, most existing IoT IDE(Integrated Development Environment), it is difficult to support AI(Artificial Intelligence) or to support services combined with various hardware such as neuromorphic architectures. In this paper, we design an AI component abstract model that supports the second-generation ANN(Artificial Neural Network) and the third-generation SNN(Spiking Neural Network), and implemented an autonomous IoT IDE based on the proposed model. IoT developers can automatically create AI components through the proposed technique without knowledge of AI and SNN. The proposed technique is flexible in code conversion according to runtime, so development productivity is high. Through experimentation of the proposed method, it was confirmed that the conversion delay time due to the VCL(Virtual Component Layer) may occur, but the difference is not significant.

Named Entity Recognition is a system that extracts entity names such as Persons(PS), Locations(LC), and Organizations(OG) that can have a unique meaning from a document and determines the categories of extracted entity names. Recently, Bi-LSTM-CRF, which is a combination of CRF using the transition probability between output data from LSTM-based Bi-LSTM model considering forward and backward directions of input data, showed excellent performance in the study of object name recognition using deep-learning, and it has a good performance on the efficient embedding vector creation by character and word unit and the model using CNN and LSTM. In this research, we describe the Bi-LSTM-CNN-CRF model that enhances the features of the Korean named entity recognition system and propose a method for constructing the traditional culture corpus. We also present the results of learning the constructed corpus with the feature augmentation model for the recognition of Korean object names.

With the development of related industries, there is a growing demand for the training of beauty professionals. At a time when there is a growing social interest in Cosmetology, there is a need to review functional Beauty Education. Generation Z, born after 1995, has the characteristics of a 'Digital Native' and is expected to be the main driver of future consumption. This study is intended to propose the orientation of Beauty Education of University considering the characteristics of the digital generation, Generation Z, in an era of declining school-age population. The results from the preceding and literary studies are as follows: First, Generation Z regards cosmetology as fun tool for self-realization. Second, Beauty Education of University should be designed as a creative curriculum combined with psychology, philosophy, aesthetics, etc., as well as acquiring professional skills. Third, it is believed that the learner-centered Beauty Education method using mobile video contents will be effective. Since the discussion of Beauty Education considering the characteristics of Generation Z is still in its early stages, further research on the direction of Education needs to be made in the future.

Data sparsity is one of the main challenges for the recommender system. The recommender system contains massive data in which only a small part is the observed data and the others are missing data. Most studies assume that missing data is randomly missing from the dataset. Therefore, they only use observed data to train recommendation model, then recommend items to users. In actual case, however, missing data do not lost randomly. In our research, treat these missing data as negative examples of users' interest. Three sample methods are seamlessly integrated into SVD++ algorithm and then propose SVD++_W, SVD++_R and SVD++_KNN algorithm. Experimental results show that proposed sample methods effectively improve the precision in Top-N recommendation over the baseline algorithms. Among the three improved algorithms, SVD++_KNN has the best performance, which shows that the KNN sample method is a more effective way to extract the negative examples of the users' interest.

Parkinson's disease, one of the three major diseases in old age, has more than 70 % of patients with speech disorders, and recently, diagnostic methods of Parkinson's disease through speech signals have been devised. In this paper, we propose a method of diagnosis of Parkinson's disease based on deep residual gated recurrent neural network using speech features. In the proposed method, the speech features for diagnosing Parkinson's disease are selected and applied to the deep residual gated recurrent neural network to classify Parkinson's disease patients. The proposed deep residual gated recurrent neural network, an algorithm combining residual learning with deep gated recurrent neural network, has a higher recognition rate than the traditional method in Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

Most neural-network-based speech synthesis models utilize neural vocoders to convert mel-scaled spectrograms into high-quality, human-like voices. However, neural vocoders combined with mel-scaled spectrogram prediction models demand considerable computer memory and time during the training phase and are subject to slow inference speeds in an environment where GPU is not used. This problem does not arise in linear spectrogram prediction models, as they do not use neural vocoders, but these models suffer from low voice quality. As a solution, this paper proposes a Tacotron 2 and Transformer-based linear spectrogram prediction model that produces high-quality speech and does not use neural vocoders. Experiments suggest that this model can serve as the foundation of a high-quality text-to-speech model with fast inference speed.

In order to reduce the harmful effects on the human body caused by the recent increase in the generation of fine dust in Korea, there is a need for technology to help predict the level of fine dust and take precautions. In this paper, we propose a 1D Convolutional-Recurrent Neural Network (1-D CRNN) model to predict the level of fine dust in Korea. The proposed model is a structure that combines the CNN and the RNN, and uses domestic and foreign fine dust, wind direction, and wind speed data for data prediction. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of about 76%(Partial up to 84%). The proposed model aims to data prediction model for time series data sets that need to consider various data in the future.
