An advanced form of Multistage Feature-based Classification Model(AMFCM), called AMFCM, is proposed in this paper. AMFCM like MFCM does not use the concatenated form of available feature vectors extracted from original data to classify each data, but uses only groups related to each feature vector to classify separately. The prpposed AMFCM improves the contribution rate used in MFCM and proposes a confusion table for each local classifier using a specific feature vector group. The confusion table for each local classifier contains accuracy information of each local classifier on each class of data. The proposed AMFCM is applied to the problem of music genre classification on a set of music data. The results demonstrate that the proposed AMFCM outperforms MFCM by 8% - 15% on average in terms of classification accuracy depending on the grouping algorithms used for local classifiers and the number of clusters.

In this paper, a neural patten recognition method for the automatic circuit diagram reading system is proposed. The proposed procedure to recognize a deformed logic symbols is composed of three stages: feature detection, log mapping, and pattern classification. In the feature detection stage, a modified competitive learning algorithm where each pattern has the inhibition weight as well as the activation weight is developed. The global information of hand-written logic symbols is obtained by the feature detection neural network having both the inhibition and activation weights. The obtained global data is then transformed into a log space by the conformal mapping where according to the Schwartz's theory about the human visual signal process-ing, the degree of rotation and the scale change are mapped into the translation change. Logic symbols are finally classified by a three layer perceptron trained by the error back propagation algorithm. The computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed multistage neural network system can recognize well the deformed patterns of hand-written logic circuit diagrams.

신용평점을 위한 부도예측의 분류 문제를 다루는데 있어서 통계적 판별분석 및 인공신경망 및 유전자알고리즘 등을 이용한 데이터 마이닝의 방법들이 일반적으로 고려되어왔다. 이 연구에서는 수리계획법을 응용하여 classification gap을 고려한 이단계 수리계획 접근방법을 신용평가에 적용하는 방법론을 제안하여 수리계획법을 통한 신용평가모형 구축의 가능성을 제시한다. 1단계에서는 선형계획법을 이용해서 대출 신청자에게 대출을 허가할 것 인지의 여부를 결정하게 되는 대출 심사 filtering으로의 적용단계이고, 2단계에서는 정수계획법을 이용하여 오분류 비용이 최소가 되도록 하는 판별점수를 찾는 과정으로 모형을 구성한다. 개인 대출 신청자의 데이터(German Credit Data)에 대하여 피셔의 선형 판별함수, 로지스틱 회귀모형 및 기존의 수리계획 기법들과의 비교를 통해서 제안된 모델의 성능을 평가한다. 이단계 수리계획 접근법의 평가 결과를 통하여 신용평가모형에의 적용가능성을 기존 통계적인 접근방법 및 수리계획 접근법과 비교하여 제시하고 있다.

Artificial neural networks(ANN) have been exploited where the relationship among information is very complicated and nonlinear. It is appropriate to computerize the information and knowledge used in the preliminary design stage where it lacks of formality of representation of designers' experience and intuition. However, most designers start the preliminary design stage with very little information. Therefore, the ANN model for this stage must be designed to have input much less than output. This case usually causes big troubles such as in learning time, convergence and reliability of solutions. To address this problem, this paper proposes multi-level neural networks for progressive structural design considering that all the design information can not be obtained at a time but are growing gradually. The use of multi-level networks developed in this paper has been proved its validity by applying it to the preliminary design of cable-stayed bridges.

In medical field, the computer has been used in the automatic processing of data derived in hospital. the automation of diagonal devices, and processing of medical digital images. In this paper, we classify red blood cell into 16 class including normal cell to the automation of blood analysis to diagnose disease. First, using UNL Fourier and invariant moment algorithm, we extract features of red blood cell from blood cell image and then construct multi-layer backpropagation neural network to recognize. We proof that the system can give support to blood analyzer through blood sample analysis of 10 patients.

This paper proposes an algorithm for off line recognition of handwritten characters, especially effective for large-set characters such as Korean and Chinese characters. The algorithm is based on a minimum distance dlassification method which is simple and easy to implement but suffers from low recognition performance. Two strategies have been developed to improve its performance; one is multi-stage pre-classification and the other is candicate reordering. Effectiveness of the algorithm has been proven by and experimet with the samples of 574 classes in a handwritten Korean character catabase named PE02, where 86.0% of recognition accuracy and 15 characters per second of processing speed have been obtained.

본 논문에서는 방송 영상에서 조명효과와 크기변화 등에 강인한 얼굴패턴 검출기법을 제시한다. 제안된 얼굴검출 모델은 영상 전처리 과정과 얼굴패턴 검출 과정으로 이루어진다. 전처리 과정은 조명변화에 대한 보정기능과 다중필터에 의한 후보영역 선별기능으로 구분된다. 얼굴패턴 검출과정은 다단계의 특징지도 생성과정과 패턴분류 과정으로 이루어진다. 특징지도를 생성하기 위하여 가보(Gabor) 필터계층을 포함하는 CNN(Convolutional Neural Networks)모델을 도입하였다. 다양한 배경을 고려한 효과적인 학습을 위하여 본 논문에서는 억제성의 뉴런(Inhibitory neuron)을 포함하는 구조의 CNN모델을 적용한다. CNN으로부터 추출되는 특징집합은 최종 단계에서 WFMM(Weighted Fuzzy Min Max) 모델을 사용하여 분류된다. 이때 사용되는 특징집합의 크기는 분류기의 규모 및 계산량의 결정적인 역할을 준다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최종 분류 과정에 사용되는 특징의 수를 효과적으로 줄이기 위해 FMM모델을 사용하는 적응적인 특징 선별 기법을 제안한다. 또한 실제 영상을 통한 실험결과로부터 제안된 이론의 타당성을 고찰한다.

Due to a large number of classes in Hangul character recognition, it is usual to use the six-type preclassification stage. After the preclassification, the first consonent, vowel, and last consonent can be classified separately. Though each of three components has a few of classes, classification errors occurs often due to shape similarity such as 'ㅔ' and 'ㅖ'. So this paper proposes a hierarchical recognition method which adopts multi-stage tree structures for each of 6-types. In addition, to reduce the interference among three components, the method uses the recognition results of first consonents and vowel as features of vowel classifier. The recognition accuracy for the test set of PHD08 database was 98.96%.

Though many techniques for the damage assessment of structures have been studied recently, most of them can be only applied to simple structures. Therefore, practical damage assessment techniques that evaluate the damage location and the damage state for large structures need to be developed. In this study, a damage assessment technique using a neural network is developed, in which the bilevel damage assessment procedure is proposed to evaluate the damage of a large structure from the limited monitoring data. The procedure is as follows ; first, for the rational selection of damage critical members, the members that affect the probability of failure or unusual structural behavior are selected by sensitivity analysis. Secondly, the monitoring points and the number of sensors that are sensitive to the damage severity of the selected members are also selected through the sensitivity analysis with a proposed sensitivity measurement format. The validity and applicability of the developed technique are demonstrated by various examples, and it has been shown that the practical information on the damage state of the selected critical members can be assessed even though the limited monitoring data have been used.

The People's Republic of China has vigorously been pursuing the internationalization of the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi after the financial crisis of 2008. In this view, an abrupt increase of use of the Chinese Yuan in the onshore and offshore markets are important milestones to be one of important currencies. One of the most frequently used methods to forecast volatility is GARCH model. Since a prediction error of the GARCH model has been reported quite high, a lot of efforts have been made to improve forecasting capability of the GARCH model. In this paper, we have proposed MLP-GARCH and a DL-GARCH by employing Artificial Neural Network to the GARCH. In an application to forecasting Chinese Yuan volatility, we have successfully shown their overall outperformance in forecasting over the GARCH.
