This paper proposes a new method to improve the three problems of existing automatic composition method using artificial neural networks. The first problem is that the existing beat post-processing to fit into music theories could not handle all the cases of occurring. The second one is that the pitch space generated by artificial neural networks is distorted because the rest is trained with the pitch on the same neural network with large values. The last problem is caused by the difference between the initial melody and beats given by user and those generated by an artificial neural network in the process of new composition. In order to treat these problems, we propose an enhanced post-processing of beats, initial melody processing, and adoption of artificial neural network for rest. It was found from experiments that the proposed methods totally resolved the three problems.

In this paper, we propose a method to automatically generate a configured song with melodies composed of front/middle/last parts by using hierarchical artificial neural networks in automatic composition. In the first layer, an artificial neural network is used to learn an existing song or a random melody and outputs a song after performing rhythm post-processing. In the second layer, the melody created by the artificial neural network in the first layer is learned by three artificial neural networks of front/middle/last parts in the second layer in order to make a configured song. In the artificial neural network of the second layer, we applied a method to generate repeatability using measure identity in order to make song with repeatability and after that the song is completed after rhythm, chord, tonality post-processing. It was confirmed from experiments that our proposed method produced configured songs well.

Composition is a creative activity of a composer in order to express his or her emotion into melody based on their experience. However, it is very hard to implement an automatic composition program whose composition process is the same as the composer. On the basis that the creative activity is possible from the imitation we propose a method to implement an automatic composition system using the learning capability of ANN(Artificial Neural Networks). First, we devise a method to convert a melody into time series that ANN can train and then another method to learn the repeated melody with melody bar for correct training of ANN. After training of the time series to ANN, we feed a new time series into the ANN, then the ANN produces a full new time series which is converted a new melody. But post processing is necessary because the produced melody does not fit to the tempo and harmony of music theory. In this paper, we applied a tempo post processing using tempo post processing program, but the harmony post processing is done by human because it is difficult to implement. We will realize the harmony post processing program as a further work.

원자력은 나라의 기저전력을 책임지는 대표적인 발전소다. 시간이 지남에 따라 에너지 수요는 증가하지만 원자력 에너지의 연료인 우라늄은 고갈이 되어가고 있다. 그 해결책으로 고속로 기술에는 소듐 냉각 고속로, 건식처리 방법으로는 파이로프로세싱이 있다. 이 기술로 사용 후 원전연료를 재처리하여 불가 수 십년에 불가한 원전문제를 수 천년으로 늘릴 수 있다. 하지만 우리나라는 사용 후 원전연료에 대해 정책방향이 결정되지 않았으며, 지역단체, 환경단체 등의 단체에서의 반대도 만만치 않을 것이다. 원전연료 관리 정책이 결정되어 국가 에너지안보의 기틀을 마련해야 할 것이다.

The existing a music genre classification research used signal feature of the part which gets 20 seconds interval of the random or the $40%{\sim}45%$ after in the music. This paper propose it to increase the accuracy of existing research to classify music genre using climax part in the music. Generally the music is divided to three parts; introduction, progress and climax. And the climax is the part which the music emphasizes and expresses the feature of the music best. So, we can get efficient result if the climax is used, when the music classify. We can get the climax in the music finding the tempo and node which uses FFT and the maximum waveform from each node. In this paper, we did a genre classification experiment which uses existing research method and proposing method. The existing method expressed 47% accuracy. And proposing method expressed 56% accuracy which is improved than existing method.
