Although artificial intelligence (AI) can be utilized in various domains such as smart city, healthcare, it is limited due to concerns about the exposure of personal and sensitive information. In response, the concept of distributed machine learning has emerged, wherein learning occurs locally before training a global model, mitigating the concentration of data on a central server. However, overall learning phase in a collaborative way among multiple participants poses threats to data privacy. In this paper, we systematically analyzes recent trends in privacy protection within the realm of distributed machine learning, considering factors such as the presence of a central server, distribution environment of the training datasets, and performance variations among participants. In particular, we focus on key distributed machine learning techniques, including horizontal federated learning, vertical federated learning, and swarm learning. We examine privacy protection mechanisms within these techniques and explores potential directions for future research.

Digital transformation refers to the process by which a company or organization changes or innovates its existing business model or sales activities using digital technology. This requires the use of various digital technologies - cloud computing, IoT, artificial intelligence, etc. - to strengthen competitiveness in the market, improve customer experience, and discover new businesses. In addition, in order to derive knowledge and insight about the market, customers, and production environment, it is necessary to select the right data, preprocess the data to an analyzable state, and establish the right process for systematic analysis suitable for the purpose. The usefulness of such digital data is determined by the importance of pre-processing and the correct application of exploratory data analysis (EDA), which is useful for information and hypothesis exploration and visualization of knowledge and insights. In this paper, we reexamine the philosophy and basic concepts of EDA and discuss key visualization information, information expression methods based on the grammar of graphics, and the ACCENT principle, which is the final visualization review standard, for effective visualization.

This pilot study explores a method of extracting metadata values and descriptions from records using named entity recognition (NER), a technique in natural language processing (NLP), a subfield of artificial intelligence. The study focuses on handwritten records from the Guro Industrial Complex, produced during the 1960s and 1970s, comprising approximately 1,200 pages and 80,000 words. After the preprocessing process of the records, which included digitization, the study employed a publicly available language API based on Google's Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) language model to recognize entity names within the text. As a result, 173 names of people and 314 of organizations and institutions were extracted from the Guro Industrial Complex's past records. These extracted entities are expected to serve as direct search terms for accessing the contents of the records. Furthermore, the study identified challenges that arose when applying the theoretical methodology of NLP to real-world records consisting of semistructured text. It also presents potential solutions and implications to consider when addressing these issues.

In this paper, we propose BRAIDS, a boot storm mitigation plan consisting of an AI-based VDI usage prediction system and a virtual machine boot scheduler system, to alleviate boot storms and improve service stability. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an important technology for improving an organization's work productivity and increasing IT infrastructure efficiency. Boot storms that occur when multiple virtual desktops boot simultaneously cause poor performance and increased latency. Using the xgboost algorithm, existing VDI usage data is used to predict future VDI usage. In addition, it receives the predicted usage as input, defines a boot storm considering the hardware specifications of the VDI server and virtual machine, and provides a schedule to sequentially boot virtual machines to alleviate boot storms. Through the case study, the VDI usage prediction model showed high prediction accuracy and performance improvement, and it was confirmed that the boot storm phenomenon in the virtual desktop environment can be alleviated and IT infrastructure can be utilized efficiently through the virtual machine boot scheduler.

As increasing global interest in renewable energy due to the ongoing climate crisis, there is a growing need for efficient technologies to manage such resources. This study focuses on the predictive skill of daily solar power generation using weather observation and forecast data. Meteorological data from the Korea Meteorological Administration and solar power generation data from the Korea Power Exchange were utilized for the period from January 2017 to May 2023, considering both inland (Daejeon) and coastal (Busan) regions. Temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and precipitation were selected as relevant meteorological variables for solar power prediction. All data was preprocessed by removing their systematic components to use only their residuals and the residual of solar data were further processed with weighted adjustments for homoscedasticity. Four models, MLR (Multiple Linear Regression), RF (Random Forest), DNN (Deep Neural Network), and RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), were employed for solar power prediction and their performances were evaluated based on predicted values utilizing observed meteorological data (used as a reference), 1-day-ahead forecast data (referred to as fore1), and 2-day-ahead forecast data (fore2). DNN-based prediction model exhibits superior performance in both regions, with RNN performing the least effectively. However, MLR and RF demonstrate competitive performance comparable to DNN. The disparities in the performance of the four different models are less pronounced than anticipated, underscoring the pivotal role of fitting models using residuals. This emphasizes that the utilized preprocessing approach, specifically leveraging residuals, is poised to play a crucial role in the future of solar power generation forecasting.

Attributes such as material, color, and fit in fashion images are important factors for consumers to purchase clothing. However, the process of classifying clothing attributes requires a large amount of manpower and is inconsistent because it relies on the subjective judgment of human operators. To alleviate this problem, there is a need for research that utilizes artificial intelligence to classify clothing attributes in fashion images. Previous studies have mainly focused on classifying clothing attributes for either tops or bottoms, so there is a limitation that the attributes of both tops and bottoms cannot be identified simultaneously in the case of full-body fashion images. In this study, we propose a deep learning model that can distinguish between tops and bottoms in fashion images and classify the category of each item and the attributes of the clothing material. The deep learning models ResNet and EfficientNet were used in this study, and the dataset used for training was 1,002,718 fashion images and 125 labels including clothing categories and material properties. Based on the weighted F1-Score, ResNet is 0.800 and EfficientNet is 0.781, with ResNet showing better performance.

In this paper, the acoustic performance of an absorptive silencer was enhanced by optimizing an arrangement of multi-layered absorbing materials. The acoustic performance of the silencer was evaluated through transmission loss, and finite element method-based numerical analysis program was employed to calculate the transmission loss. Polyurethane, a porous elastic material frequently used in absorptive silencers, was employed as the absorbing material. The Biot-Allard model was applied, assuming that air is filled inside the polyurethane. By setting the frequency range of interest up to the 2 kHz and the acoustic performance affecting properties of the absorbing materials were investigated when it was composed as a single layer. And the acoustic performance of the silencers with the single and multi-layered absorbing materials was compared with each other based on polyurethane material properties. Subsequently, the arrangement of the absorbing materials was optimized by applying the Nelder-Mead method. The results demonstrated that the average transmission loss improved compared to the single-layered absorptive silencer.

The military leader makes an operation plan to accomplish combat missions. The current doctrine for an operation planning requires the use of simple and clear procedures and methods that can be carried out with human effort under adverse conditions in the field. The work in the process of an operation planning can be said to be a series of decision-making, and the criteria for decision-making generally apply mission variables. However, detailed standards are not fixed as doctrine, but are creatively established and applied. However, for AI-based decision-making, it is necessary to formalize the criteria and the format used. This paper first aims to standardize various criteria and forms to present a method that can be used in a semi-automated assist system, and to seek a plan to artificialize it. To this end, mathematical models and decision-making methods established in the field of operations research were applied to improve efficiency.
