In this paper, we extend FARGs single mode attribute to multiple attributes for real image application and present a new CBIR using FMARG(Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Relational Graph), which can handle queries involving multiple attributes, not only object label, but also color, texture and spatial relation. In the experiment using the synthetic image database of 1,024 images and the natural image database of 1.026 images built from NETRA database and Corel Draw, the proposed approach shows 6~30% recall increase in the synthetic image database and a good performance, at the displacements and the retrieved number of similar images in the natural image database, compared with the single attribute approach.

This study reviews the limit of image search by considering on the image search methods related to content-based image retrieval and suggests a user interface for more efficient content-based image retrieval and the ways to utilize image properties. For now, most studies on image search are being performed focusing on content-based image retrieval; they try to search based on the image's colors, texture, shapes, and the overall form of the image. However, the results are not satisfactory because there are various technological limits. Accordingly, this study suggests a new retrieval system which adapts content-based image retrieval and the conventional keyword search method. This is about a way to attribute properties to images using texts and a fast way to search images by expressing the attribute of images as keywords and utilizing them to search images. Also, the study focuses on a simulation for a user interface to make query language on the Internet and a search for clothes in an online shopping mall as an application of the retrieval system based on image attribute. This study will contribute to adding a new purchase pattern in online shopping malls and to the development of the area of similar image search.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of makpyeon made of dry milled rice powder according to soaking time. Makpyeon samples made of dry milled rice powder were analyzied with various soacking time, the moisture content, pH, Hunter's color value texture characteristics, attribute difference test and acceptance test. The moisture content of makpyeon did not indicate difference among samples. pH resulted in MS90 showed the lowest moisture content. The L-value (lightness) and a-value (greenness) result in that MS0 showed the highest and decreased according to soaking time. The b-value (yellowness) increased according to soaking time, MS90 showed the highest. TPA resulted in that MS90 indicated the highest hardness, chewiness, gumminess and the lowest adhesiveness. Hardness of makpyeon samples was higher than sulgitteok samples, adhesiveness was lower than those of sulgitteok in each soaking time. Based on attribute difference test, the score of brightness, moistness, glossy, particle size were decreased and firmness were increased according to soaking times. Flavor, taste and mouth feel attribute was stronger in makpyeon samples with the longer soaking time. Acceptance results showed that MS0 and MS30 (soaking for 30 min) were preferred the most. Also limitations and future research directions of this study were discussed.

This study uses conjoint analysis technique to calculate relative importance of each attribute of a specific online content: video-on-demand (VoD) services of TV soap operas. A series of interviews were conducted to identify and derive critical attributes for VoD services. Conjoint instrument was constructed using attributes identified and administered among actual viewers. Price, genre, additional service, and actors were found to be the most highly valued attributes of the VoD services. While price was the most valued attribute for female viewers, it was genre for male viewers. The result suggests that these attribute differentiation would lead to more profitable pricing scheme, and development of additional services may be critical for online content business' success.

The stability of cutting slope influences the safety of railway operation, and how to identify the stability of the slope quickly and determine the rational monitoring plan is a pressing problem at present. In this study, the attribute recognition model of risk assessment for high cutting slope stability in the heavy haul railway is established based on attribute mathematics theory, followed by the consequent monitoring scheme design. Firstly, based on comprehensive analysis on the risk factors of heavy haul railway loess slope, collapsibility, tectonic feature, slope shape, rainfall, vegetation conditions, train speed are selected as the indexes of the risk assessment, and the grading criteria of each index is established. Meanwhile, the weights of the assessment indexes are determined by AHP judgment matrix. Secondly, The attribute measurement functions are given to compute attribute measurement of single index and synthetic attribute, and the attribute recognition model was used to assess the risk of a typical heavy haul railway loess slope, Finally, according to the risk assessment results, the monitoring content and method of this loess slope were determined to avoid geological disasters and ensure the security of the railway infrastructure. This attribute identification- risk assessment- monitoring design mode could provide an effective way for the risk assessment and control of heavy haul railway in the loess plateau.

Water Culture Pavilion was constructed as a part of dam construction and Four-major rivers restoration projects, which have the purpose to prevent damage of natural disaster, localized heavy rain and drought, and has several functions; promotion, education and region culture community. Exhibition space in this culture pavilion should have the excellent connection of various media, contents, and exhibition space because of limited space. The purpose of this study is to analyze flows, continuation and connection of exhibit space with the perspectives of the attribute of water and to suggest various content things, technical, spatial types. This study targets Four-major rivers Water Culture Pavilion in Korea and suggests exhibition presentation methods as analyzing contents, media and constituent of exhibition space for each pavilion exhibition. The result of this study is as follows : First, the circulation is common expressed attribute of water in these four water culture pavilion. The reason is that there is a connection between Four-major rivers restoration projects and the physical attribute of water circulating the steps of evaporation, condensation and precipitation. Second, each pavilion presents circulative solid exhibit, circulative background exhibit, circulative reflective exhibit based on circulation. These three types of exhibition is related the floor separation. Third, each pavilion exhibit zone shows the most circulation, solid, background, reflexibility through educational contents and promoting contents by using graphic, video, sound media.

Image-to-image 변환에서 인상적인 성능을 보이는 StarGAN 은 모델의 성능에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 adversarial weight, classification weight, reconstruction weight 라는 세가지 하이퍼파라미터의 결정을 전제로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 중 conditional GAN loss 인 adversarial loss 와 classification loss 를 대치할 수 있는 attribute loss를 제안함으로써, adversarial weight와 classification weight 를 최적화하는 데 걸리는 시간을 attribute weight 의 최적화에 걸리는 시간으로 대체하여 하이퍼파라미터 탐색에 걸리는 시간을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있게 하였다. 제안하는 attribute loss 는 각 특징당 GAN 을 만들 때 각 GAN 의 loss 의 합으로, 이 GAN 들은 hidden layer 를 공유하기 때문에 연산량의 증가를 거의 가져오지 않는다. 또한 reconstruction loss 를 단순화시켜 연산량을 줄인 simplified content loss 를 제안한다. StarGAN 의 reconstruction loss 는 generator 를 2 번 통과하지만 simplified content loss 는 1 번만 통과하기 때문에 연산량이 줄어든다. 또한 이미지 Framing 을 통해 배경의 왜곡을 방지하고, 양방향 성장을 통해 학습 속도를 향상시킨 아키텍쳐를 제안한다.

Based on the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), we present a survey method to measure consumer preferences. The multi-attribute utility theory has been used to make decisions in OR/MS field; however, we show that the method can be effectively used to estimate the demand for new services by measuring individual level utility function. Because conjoint method has been widely used to measure consumer preferences for new products and services, we compare the pros and cons of two consumer preference survey methods. Further, we illustrate how swing weighing method can be effectively used to elicit customer preferences especially for new telecommunications services, Multi-attribute utility theory is a compositional approach for modeling customer preference, in which researchers calculate overall service utility by summing up the evaluation results for each attribute. On the contrary, conjoint method is a decompositional approach, which requires holistic evaluations for profiles. Partworth for each attribute is derived or estimated based on the evaluation, and finally consumer preferences for each profile are calculated. However, if the profiles are quite new and unfamiliar to the survey respondents, they will find it very difficult to accurately evaluate the profiles. We believe that the multi-attribute utility theory-based survey method is more appropriate than the conjoint method, because respondents only need to assess attribute level preferences and not holistic assessment. We chose swing weighting method among many weight assessment methods in multi-attribute utility theory, because it is designed to perform in a simple and fast manner. As illustrated in Clemen and Reilly (2001), to assess swing weights, the first step is to create the worst possible outcome as a benchmark by setting the worst level on each of the attributes. Then, each of the succeeding rows "swings" one of the attributes from worst to best. Upon constructing the swing table, respondents rank order the outcomes (rows). The next step is to rate the outcomes in which the rating for the benchmark is set to be 0 and the rating for the best outcome to be 100, and the ratings for other outcomes are determined in the ranges between 0 and 100. In calculating weight for each attribute, ratings are normalized by the total sum of all ratings. To demonstrate the applicability of the approach, we elicited and analyzed individual-level customer preference for new telecommunication services-WiBro and HSDPA. We began with a randomly selected 800 interviewees, and reduced them to 432 because other remaining ones were related to the people who did not show strong intention for subscription to new telecommunications services. For each combination of content and handset, number of responses which favored WiBro and HSDPA were counted, respectively. It was assumed that interviewee favors a specific service when expected utility is greater than that of competing service(s). Then, the market share of each service was calculated by normalizing the total number of responses which preferred each service. Holistic evaluation of new and unfamiliar service is a tough challenge for survey respondents. We have developed a simple and easy method to assess individual level preference by estimating weight of each attribute. Swing method was applied for this purpose. We believe that estimating individual level preference will be quite flexibly used to predict market performance of new services in many different business environments.
