The emergence of online media and their data has enabled data-driven methods to solve challenging and complex tasks such as rumor classification problems. Recently, deep learning based models have been shown as one of the fastest and the most accurate algorithms to solve such problems. These new models, however, either rely on complete data or several days-worth of data, limiting their applicability in real time. In this study, we go beyond this limit and test the possibility of super early rumor detection via recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Our model takes in social media streams as time series input, along with basic meta-information about the rumongers including the follower count and the psycholinguistic traits of rumor content itself. Based on analyzing millions of social media posts on 498 real rumors and 494 non-rumor events, our RNN-based model detected rumors with only 30 initial posts (i.e., within a few hours of rumor circulation) with remarkable F1 score of 0.74. This finding widens the scope of new possibilities for building a fast and efficient rumor detection system.

GuessWhat?! is a game in which two machine players, composed of questioner and answerer, ask and answer yes-no-N/A questions about the object hidden for the answerer in the image, and the questioner chooses the correct object. GuessWhat?! has received much attention in the field of deep learning and artificial intelligence as a testbed for cutting-edge research on the interplay of computer vision and dialogue systems. In this study, we discuss the objective function and characteristics of the GuessWhat?! game. In addition, we propose a simple solver for GuessWhat?! using a simple rule-based algorithm. Although a human needs four or five questions on average to solve this problem, the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning methods using only two questions, and exceeds human performance using five questions.

Due to the significant increase in the use of autonomous car technology, it is essential to integrate this technology with high-precision digital map data containing more precise and accurate roadway information, as compared to existing conventional map resources, to ensure the safety of self-driving operations. While existing map technologies may assist vehicles in identifying their locations via Global Positioning System, it is however difficult to update the environmental changes of roadways in these maps. Roadway vision algorithms can be useful for building autonomous vehicles that can avoid accidents and detect real-time location changes. We incorporate a hybrid architectural design that combines unsupervised classification of vision data with supervised joint fusion classification to achieve a better noise-resistant algorithm. We identify, via a deep learning approach, an intelligent hybrid fusion algorithm for fusing multimodal vision feature data for roadway classifications and characterize its improvement in accuracy over unsupervised identifications using image processing and supervised vision classifiers. We analyzed over 93,000 vision frame data collected from a test vehicle in real roadways. The performance indicators of the proposed hybrid fusion algorithm are successfully evaluated for the generation of roadway digital maps for autonomous vehicles, with a recall of 0.94, precision of 0.96, and accuracy of 0.92.

Smartphone malware has increased because Smartphone users has increased and smartphones are widely used in everyday life. Since 2012, Android has been the most mobile operating system. Owing to the open nature of Android, countless malware are in Android markets that seriously threaten Android security. Most of Android malware detection program does not detect malware to which bypass techniques apply and also does not detect unknown malware. In this paper, we propose lightweight method for detection of Android malware using static analysis and deep learning techniques. For experiments we crawl 7,000 apps from the Google Play Store and collect 6,120 malwares. The result show that proposed method can achieve 98.05% detection accuracy. Also, proposed method can detect about unknown malware families with good performance. On smartphones, the method requires 10 seconds for an analysis on average.

The rainwater pumping station located near a river prevents river overflow and flood damages by operating several pumps according to the appropriate rules against the reservoir. At the present time, almost all of rainwater pumping stations employ pumping policies based on the simple rules depending only on the water level of reservoir. The ongoing climate change caused by global warming makes it increasingly difficult to predict the amount of rainfall. Therefore, it is difficult to cope with changes in the water level of reservoirs through the simple pumping policy. In this paper, we propose a pump operating method based on deep reinforcement learning which has the ability to select the appropriate number of operating pumps to keep the reservoir to the proper water level using the information of the amount of rainfall, the water volume and current water level of the reservoir. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the simulations are performed using Storm Water Management Model(SWMM), a dynamic rainfall-runoff-routing simulation model, and the performance of the method is compared with that of a pumping policy being in use in the field.

Game balance settings are crucial to game design. Game balancing must take into account a large amount of numerical values, configuration data, and the relationship between elements. Once released and served, a game - even for a balanced game - often requires calibration according to the game player's preference. To achieve sustainability, game balance needs adjustment while allowing for small changes. In fact, from the producers' standpoint, game balance issue is a critical success factor in game production. Therefore, they often invest much time and capital in game design. However, if such a costly game cannot provide players with an appropriate level of difficulty, the game is more likely to fail. On the contrary, if the game successfully identifies the game players' propensity and performs self-balancing to provide appropriate difficulty levels, this will significantly reduce the likelihood of game failure, while at the same time increasing the lifecycle of the game. Accordingly, if a novel technology for game balancing is developed using artificial intelligence (AI) that offers personalized, intelligent, and customized service to individual game players, it would bring significant changes to the game production system.

Due to the FMD(foot-and-mouth disease), the domestic animal husbandry and related industries suffer enormous damage every year. Although various academic researches related to FMD are ongoing, engineering studies on the social effects of FMD are very limited. In this study, we propose a systematic methodology to analyze emotional responses of regular citizens on FMD using text mining techniques. The proposed system first collects data related to FMD from the tweets posted on Twitter, and then performs a polarity classification process using a deep-learning technique. Second, keywords are extracted from the tweet using LDA, which is one of the typical techniques of topic modeling, and a keyword network is constructed from the extracted keywords. Finally, we analyze the various social effects of regular citizens on FMD through keyword network. As a case study, we performed the emotional analysis experiment of regular citizens about FMD from July 2010 to December 2011 in Korea.

In order to manage the demand resources of project participants and to provide appropriate strategies in the virtual power plant's power trading platform for consumers or operators who want to participate in the distributed resource collective trading market, it is very important to forecast the next day's demand of individual participants and the overall system's electricity demand. This paper developed a power demand forecasting model for the next day. For the model, we used LSTM algorithm of deep learning technique in consideration of time series characteristics of power demand forecasting data, and new scheme is applied by applying one-hot encoding method to input/output values such as power demand. In the performance evaluation for comparing the general DNN with our LSTM forecasting model, both model showed 4.50 and 1.89 of root mean square error, respectively, and our LSTM model showed high prediction accuracy.
