In this paper. we propose a medical image processing method for detection of periodontal disease by geometric analysis on dental digital radiography. This paper proposes the method of an automatic image alignment and detection of minute changes, to overcome defects in the conventional subtraction radiography by image processing technique, that is necessary for getting subtraction image and ROI(Region Of Interest) focused on a selection method using the geometric features in target images. Therefore, we use these methods because they give accuracy, consistency and objective information or data to results. In result, easily and visually we can identify minute differences in the affected parts whether they have problems or not, and using application system.

Approximate Computing is a promising method for designing hardware-efficient computing systems. Approximate multiplication is one of key operations used in approximate computing methods for high performance and low power computing. An approximate 4-2 compressor can implement hardware-efficient circuits for approximate multiplication. In this paper, we propose an approximate multiplier with low area and low power characteristics. The proposed approximate multiplier architecture is segmented into three portions; an exact region, an approximate region, and a constant correction region. Partial product reduction in the approximation region are simplified using a new 4:2 approximate compressor, and the error due to approximation is compensated using a simple error correction scheme. Constant correction region uses a constant calculated with probabilistic analysis for reducing error. Experimental results of 8×8 multiplier show that the proposed design requires less area, and consumes less power than conventional 4-2 compressor-based approximate multiplier.

When using Medical Information Retrieval services, a typical retrieval method is to use the Anatomic Therapyutic Chemical Classification (ATC) code. Traditional ATC code-based medical information retrieval is very useful for single ingredient product retrieval with single ingredient. However, in the case of complex, retrieval errors often occur. The cause of this problem is that ATC code-based retrieval proceeds by pattern matching ATC code.In this work, we design the mapping scheme based on ATC code by analyzing the requirement scenarios for retrieval based on main ingredient in ATC code-based retrieval. the mapping scheme based on ATC is a schema that stores the ATC code of the complex and all the ATC code of the single agent included in the complex. ATC code-based retrieval using this schema retrieves a complex as ingredient of a single ingredient product, thus having higher accuracy than existing methods. the mapping scheme based on ATC is expected to increase the efficiency of doctors' prescription of patients and increase the accuracy of drug safety use services.

This paper suggests methods to chronicle and track the history of dialogues exchanged among characters to prevent logical errors of a story. As for stories that are long with many characters, especially in full-length novels and co-written stories, cognitive burden is imposed on a writer. If the writer has confused understanding of a character, then a logical error would enter the story. This would compromise completeness and integrity of writing. Against the backdrop, this paper shows how dialogues among characters are chronicled and tracked by using the aforementioned tracking methods through design of a writer support system that relieves a writer's cognitive burden while supporting the writing and through an analysis of existing novels. In addition, we showed the accuracy results of average 68.5% through the performance evaluation of the query used in the dialogue history tracking.

Recently, research and development using various Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are being conducted in the field of education. Among the AI in Education (AIEd), conversational agents are not limited by time and space, and can learn more effectively by combining them with various AI technologies such as voice recognition and translation. This paper conducted a trend analysis on platforms that have a large number of users and used conversational agents for English learning among commercialized application. Currently commercialized educational platforms using conversational agent through trend analysis has several limitations and problems. To analyze specific problems and limitations, a comparative experiment was conducted with the latest pre-trained large-capacity dialogue model. Sensibleness and Specificity Average (SSA) human evaluation was conducted to evaluate conversational human-likeness. Based on the experiment, this paper propose the need for trained with large-capacity parameters dialogue models, educational data, and information retrieval functions for effective English conversation learning.

In this paper, we propose a new relay selection scheme which can decrease the secrecy outage probability in a relay communication network with multiple relays and an eavesdropper. In the conventional relay selection scheme, a relay transmits jamming signal toward an eavesdropper to decrease the successful decoding probability of the eavesdropper. The coventional scheme has a critical problem that the successful decoding probability of a receiver also decreases. The new relay selection scheme proposed in this paper can significantly enhance the secrecy outage probability by selecting a pair of relays which can increase the successful decoding probability of the receiver while decreasing the successful decoding probability of the eavesdropper. We performed extensive computer simulation based on Monte-Carlo. The simulation results reveal that the proposed relay selection scheme can improve the secrecy outage probability by 10 to 50 times compared to the existing relay selection scheme.

As mobile-based hardware technology develops, many kinds of applications are also being developed. In addition, there is an increasing demand to automatically check that the interface of these applications works correctly. In this paper, we describe a method for accurately detecting faulty images from applications by comparing major characteristics from input color images. For this purpose, our method first extracts major characteristics of the input image, then calculates the differences in the extracted major features, and decides if the test image is a normal image or a faulty image dissimilar to the reference image. Experiment results show that the suggested approach robustly determines similar and dissimilar images by comparing major characteristics from input color images. The suggested method is expected to be useful in many real application areas related to computer vision, like video indexing, object detection and tracking, image surveillance, and so on.

This paper presents a Korean conversational agent system in a mobile environment using natural language processing techniques. The aim of a conversational agent in mobile environment is to provide natural language interface and enable more natural interaction between a human and an agent. Constructing such an agent, it is required to develop various natural language understanding components and effective utterance generation methods. To understand spoken style utterance, we perform morphosyntactic analysis, shallow semantic analysis including modality classification and predicate argument structure analysis, and to generate a system utterance, we perform example based search which considers lexical similarity, syntactic similarity and semantic similarity.

의학과 기술 발달로 인해 질병과 사고에 의한 사망률은 줄어들었으나, 심장 관련 질환에 의한 사망률은 증가하였다. 심장 질환을 예방하는 데는 정기적인 검진을 통해 심장기능을 분석하고 관찰하는 것이 중요하다. 심장 기능의 분석은 이완기와 수축기 사이의 혈류량 및 심박구출률 계산을 통한 심장 운동능력 평가에 의해 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 심장 단축 자기공명영상에서 좌심실 영역을 자동 분할하여 혈류량 및 심박 구출률을 계산하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. K평균 군집화 기법을 적용하여 좌심실을 분할하고, 그래프 탐색 기법에 기반하여 분할 오류를 수정하였다. 15명의 지원자에 대해 제안하는 알고리즘을 사용하여 혈류량과 심박구출률을 계산하였고, 수동윤곽검출 및 General Electronics 사의 MASS 소프트웨어와 비교하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 수동윤곽검출과 차이는 혈류량의 경우 평균적으로 이완기에 $4.6mL{\pm}3.9$, 수축기에 $2.1mL{\pm}2.4$로 나타났고, 심박구출률은 $1.8%{\pm}1.7$이었다. 전반적으로 MASS소프트웨어에 비해 좋은 성능을 나타내었다.

최근 국가적 차원에서 영어교육에 대한 많은 투자가 이루어지고 있으나 기존의 주입식, 암기식 영어 교육은 회화 실력 향상에 큰 도움을 주지 못하였다. 컴퓨터를 이용한 영어교육 또한 많은 관심을 얻고 있으나 실제 의사소통을 위한 회화 학습에 대한 고려는 깊지 않으며, 주어진 흐름의 대본을 따라 단순히 읽고 반복하는 수준의 시스템만 존재하고 있다. 이러한 학습형태는 흥미 유발 동기가 약하여 사용자로 하여금 장기간 꾸준히 학습하게 만들지 못한다는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제점에 대하여 제2언어 습득 이론에 바탕을 둔 자연어 처리 기반 몰입 환경 영어 교육 시스템을 제안한다. 이는 도메인 확장성이 뛰어난 예제 기반 대화 시스템을 3 차원 가상공간과 결합한 시스템으로 자연스러운 대화를 통한 외국어 회화 연습을 하는 과정에서 학습자의 발화 오류를 분석하고 교육적 피드백을 제공한다. 또한 현실과 비슷한 몰입 환경에서 체험형 기술을 통해 자발적인 학습을 유도하고 집중력, 기억력을 획기적으로 높이고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 영어교육 시스템의 이론적 배경, 예제 기반 대화관리, 시스템 구성요소와 동작에 대하여 중점적으로 기술하였다.
