In this paper, we developed an automatic design optimization system for parametric shape optimization of cooling passages inside axial turbine blades. A parallel three-dimensional thermoelasticity finite element analysis code from an open source system was used to perform automatic thermal and stress analysis of different blade configuration. The developed code was connected to an evolutionary optimizer and built in a design optimization system. Using the optimization system, 279 feasible and optimal solutions were searched. It is provided not only one best solution of the searched solutions, but also information of variation structure and correlation of the 279 solutions in function, variable, and real design spaces. To explore design information, it is proposed a new interpretation approach based on evolutionary clustering and principal component analysis. The interpretation approach might be applicable to the increasing demands in the general area of design optimization.

For large vocabulary speech recognition using HMMs, context-dependent subword units have been often employed. However, when context-dependent phone models are used, they result in a system which has too may parameters to train. The problem of too many parameters and too little training data is absolutely crucial in the design of a statistical speech recognizer. Furthermore, when building large vocabulary speech recognition systems, unseen triphone problem is unavoidable. In this paper, we propose the modified phonetic decision tree algorithm for the automatic prediction of unseen triphones which has advantages solving these problems through following two experiments in Japanese contexts. The baseline experimental results show that the modified tree based clustering algorithm is effective for clustering and reducing the number of states without any degradation in performance. The task experimental results show that our proposed algorithm also has the advantage of providing a automatic prediction of unseen triphones.

Reengineering to object-oriented system is needed to maintain the system and satisfy requirements of structure change. Target systems which should be reengineered to object-oriented system are difficult to change because these systems have no design document or their design document is inconsistent of source code. Using design document to identifying objects for these systems is improper. There are several researches which identify objects through procedural source code analysis. In this paper, we propose automatic object identification method based on clustering of VTFG(Variable-Type-Function Graph) which represents relations among variables, types, and functions. VTFG includes relations among variables, types, and functions that may be basis of objects, and weights of these relations. By clustering related variables, types, and functions using their weights, our method overcomes limit of existing researches which identify too big objects or objects excluding many functions. The method proposed in this paper minimizes user's interaction through automatic object identification and make it easy to reenginner procedural system to object-oriented system.

Digital infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive adjunctive diagnostic technique that allows an examiner to visualize and quantify changes in skin surface temperature. The asymmetry of temperature differences between the diseased and the contralateral healthy body parts can be automatically analyzed and has been studied in many areas of medical science. In this paper, we propose a method for intelligent automatic asymmetry detection based on a K-means analysis and a YCbCr color model. The implemented software successfully visualizes an asymmetric distribution of colors with respect to the patients’ health status.

Traffic sign detection is the domain of automatic driver assistant systems. There are literatures for traffic sign detection using color information, however, color-based method contains ill-posed condition and to extract the region of interest is difficult. In our work, we propose a method for traffic sign detection using k-means clustering method, back-propagation neural network, and projection histogram features that yields the robustness for ill-posed condition. Using the color information of traffic signs enables k-means algorithm to cluster the region of interest for the detection efficiently. In each step of clustering, a cluster is verified by the neural network so that the cluster exactly represents the location of a traffic sign. Proposed method is practical, and yields robustness for the unexpected region of interest or for multiple detections.

We will introduce a new web-based knowledge management system in progress, in which XML-based web information extraction and our structuring knowledge technologies are combined using ontology-based natural language processing. Our aim is to provide efficient access to heterogeneous information on the web, enabling users to use a wide range of textual and non textual resources, such as newspapers and databases, effortlessly to accelerate knowledge acquisition from such knowledge sources. In order to achieve the efficient knowledge management, we propose at first an XML-based Web information extraction which contains a sophisticated control language to extract data from Web pages. With using standard XML Technologies in the system, our approach can make extracting information easy because of a) detaching rules from processing, b) restricting target for processing, c) Interactive operations for developing extracting rules. Then we propose a structuring knowledge system which includes, 1) automatic term recognition, 2) domain oriented automatic term clustering, 3) similarity-based document retrieval, 4) real-time document clustering, and 5) visualization. The system supports integrating different types of databases (textual and non textual) and retrieving different types of information simultaneously. Through further explanation to the specification and the implementation technique of the system, we will demonstrate how the system can accelerate knowledge acquisition on the Web even for novice users of the field.

Purpose: To prevent low bone mineral density (BMD), that is, osteoporosis, in postmenopausal women, it is essential to diagnose osteoporosis more precisely. This study presented an automatic approach utilizing a histogram-based automatic clustering (HAC) algorithm with a support vector machine (SVM) to analyse dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) and thus improve diagnostic accuracy by identifying postmenopausal women with low BMD or osteoporosis. Materials and Methods: We integrated our newly-proposed histogram-based automatic clustering (HAC) algorithm with our previously-designed computer-aided diagnosis system. The extracted moment-based features (mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis) of the mandibular cortical width for the radial basis function (RBF) SVM classifier were employed. We also compared the diagnostic efficacy of the SVM model with the back propagation (BP) neural network model. In this study, DPRs and BMD measurements of 100 postmenopausal women patients (aged >50 years), with no previous record of osteoporosis, were randomly selected for inclusion. Results: The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the BMD measurements using our HAC-SVM model to identify women with low BMD were 93.0% (88.0%-98.0%), 95.8% (91.9%-99.7%) and 86.6% (79.9%-93.3%), respectively, at the lumbar spine; and 89.0% (82.9%-95.1%), 96.0% (92.2%-99.8%) and 84.0% (76.8%-91.2%), respectively, at the femoral neck. Conclusion: Our experimental results predict that the proposed HAC-SVM model combination applied on DPRs could be useful to assist dentists in early diagnosis and help to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with low BMD and osteoporosis.

검색 결과 내 군집화(search-result clustering)는 검색 엔진으로부터 검색된 결과 내에서 비슷한 문서를 자동으로 군집화하는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 논문 검색 서비스에 전문화된 새로운 결과 내 군집화 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 '범주체계생성기(Category Hierarchy Generation System)'와 '논문군집기(Paper Clustering System)'로 구성되어있다. '범주체계생생기'는 KOSEF의 연구 범주 체계를 이용하여 분야 시소러스라 불리는 범주 체계를 생성하고, K-means 알고리즘을 이용한 단어 군집화 알고리즘을 사용하여 분야 시소러스의 키워드 집합을 확장한다. '논문군집기'는 top-down 방식과 bottom-up 방식을 이용하여 각 논문의 범주를 결정한다. 제안하는 시스템은 논문 검색 서비스와 같은 전문 분야에 대한 검색 서비스에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 수치적 데이터를 이용하여 규칙을 생성하는 시스템에 대해 순차적인 클러스터링 방법을 제안한다. 단일 클러스터링 기법은 방대하고 복잡한 공간 내에서는 원하는 결과를 얻지 못할 수 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 방법은 서로 다른 클러스터링 기법을 순차적으로 수행하여 장점들은 활용하고 단점들은 보안하는 형태를 제안하였다. Mountain 클러스터링과 Chen 클러스터링을 이용하여 non-parametric 공간에서 자율적으로 클러스터를 구성하였고, global 공간과 local 공간으로 역할을 분담하여 클러스터를 추정한다. 추정된 클러스터들은 신경회로망이나 퍼지 시스템과 같은 지능 시스템의 구조와 초기 파라미터 결정에 활용될 수 있으며, 확장하여 헬스케어와 의료 분야에서의 결정 제공 시스템의 학습에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 제안된 방법을 유용성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 보이고자 한다.
