Various wood defects occur during tree growing or wood processing. Thus, to use wood practically, it is necessary to objectively assess their quality based on the usage requirement by accurately classifying their defects. However, manual visual grading and species classification may result in differences due to subjective decisions; therefore, computer-vision-based image analysis is required for the objective evaluation of wood quality and the speeding up of wood production. In this study, the SIFT+k-NN and CNN models were used to implement a model that automatically classifies knots and analyze its accuracy. Toward this end, a total of 1,172 knot images in various shapes from five domestic conifers were used for learning and validation. For the SIFT+k-NN model, SIFT technology was used to extract properties from the knot images and k-NN was used for the classification, resulting in the classification with an accuracy of up to 60.53% when k-index was 17. The CNN model comprised 8 convolution layers and 3 hidden layers, and its maximum accuracy was 88.09% after 1205 epoch, which was higher than that of the SIFT+k-NN model. Moreover, if there is a large difference in the number of images by knot types, the SIFT+k-NN tended to show a learning biased toward the knot type with a higher number of images, whereas the CNN model did not show a drastic bias regardless of the difference in the number of images. Therefore, the CNN model showed better performance in knot classification. It is determined that the wood knot classification by the CNN model will show a sufficient accuracy in its practical applicability.

Piecewise Integrated Composite (PIC) beam is composed of different stacking against loading type depending upon location. The aim of current study is to assign robust stacking sequences against external loading to every corresponding part of the PIC beam based on the value of stress triaxiality at generated reference points using the k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbor) classification, which is one of representative machine learning techniques, in order to excellent superior bending characteristics. The stress triaxiality at reference points is obtained by three-point bending analysis of the Al beam with training data categorizing the type of external loading, i.e., tension, compression or shear. Loading types of each plane of the beam were classified by independent plane scheme as well as total beam scheme. Also, loading fidelities were calibrated for each case with the variation of hyper-parameters. Most effective stacking sequences were mapped into the PIC beam based on the k-NN classification model with the highest loading fidelity. FE analysis result shows the PIC beam has superior external loading resistance and energy absorption compared to conventional beam.

Automatic text classification is a task of assigning predefined categories to free text documents. Its importance is increased to organize and manage a huge amount of text data. There have been some researches on automatic text classification based on machine learning techniques. While most of them was focused on proposal of a new machine learning methods and cross evaluation between other systems, a through evaluation or optimization of a method has been rarely been done. In this paper, we propose an improving method of kNN-based Korean text classification system using heuristic informations about decision function, the number of nearest neighbor, and feature selection method. Experimental results showed that the system with similarity-weighted decision function, global method in considering neighbors, and DF/ICF feature selection was more accurate than simple kNN-based classifier. Also, we found out that the performance of the local method with well chosen k value was as high as that of the global method with much computational costs.

The soil creep, primarily caused by earthquakes and torrential rainfall events, has widely occurred across the country. The Korea Forest Service attempted to quantify the soil creep susceptible areas using a discriminant value table to prevent or mitigate casualties and/or property damages in advance. With the advent of advanced computer technologies, machine learning-based classification models have been employed for managing mountainous disasters, such as landslides and debris flows. This study aims to quantify the soil creep susceptibility using several classifiers, namely the k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Naive Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models. To develop the classification models, we downscaled 292 data from 4,618 field survey data. About 70% of the selected data were used for training, with the remaining 30% used for model testing. The developed models have the classification accuracy of 0.727 for k-NN, 0.750 for NB, 0.807 for RF, and 0.750 for SVM against test datasets representing 30% of the total data. Furthermore, we estimated Cohen's Kappa index as 0.534, 0.580, 0.673, and 0.585, with AUC values of 0.872, 0.912, 0.943, and 0.834, respectively. The machine learning-based classifications for soil creep susceptibility were RF, NB, SVM, and k-NN in that order. Our findings indicate that the machine learning classifiers can provide valuable information in establishing and implementing natural disaster management plans in mountainous areas.

This study aims to present a method for implementing a decision support system that can be used for selecting emerging technologies by applying a machine learning-based automatic classification technique. To conduct the research, the architecture of the entire system was built and detailed research steps were conducted. First, emerging technology candidate items were selected and trend data was automatically generated using a big data system. After defining the conceptual model and pattern classification structure of technological development, an efficient machine learning method was presented through an automatic classification experiment. Finally, the analysis results of the system were interpreted and methods for utilization were derived. In a DTW-kNN-based classification experiment that combines the Dynamic Time Warping(DTW) method and the k-Nearest Neighbors(kNN) classification model proposed in this study, the identification performance was up to 87.7%, and particularly in the 'eventual' section where the trend highly fluctuates, the maximum performance difference was 39.4% points compared to the Euclidean Distance(ED) algorithm. In addition, through the analysis results presented by the system, it was confirmed that this decision support system can be effectively utilized in the process of automatically classifying and filtering by type with a large amount of trend data.

사용자 모델링을 위해서는 사용자의 성향 및 행위 등의 다양한 정보를 수집하여 분석에 이용한다. 하지만 사용자(인간)로 부터 얻은 데이터는 기계나 환경에서 수집된 데이터 보다 패턴을 찾기 힘들어 모델링하기 어렵다. 그 이유는 사용자는 사용자의 현재 상태와 상황에 따라 다양한 결과를 보이며, 일관성을 유지 하지 않는 경우가 있기 때문이다. 사용자 모델링을 위해서는 분산되어 있는 데이터에서 노이즈를 선별하고 연관성 있는 데이터를 분류할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문은 사용자로 부터 수집된 데이터를 k-NN(Nearest Neighbor) 기법을 이용하여 노이즈를 선별한다. 노이즈가 제거된 데이터는 의사결정나무(Decision Tree)방법을 이용하여 학습하였고, 노이즈가 분류되기 전과 비교 분석 하였다. 실험에서는 홈 인테리어 학습 컨텐츠인 DOLLS-HI를 이용하여 수집된 학습자의 데이터를 이용하였고, 생성된 학습자 모델링의 신뢰도가 높아지는 것을 확인하였다.

We describe a new method for text categorization using TextRank algorithm. Text categorization is a problem that over one pre-defined categories are assigned to a text document. TextRank algorithm is a graph-based ranking algorithm. If we consider that each word is a vertex, and co-occurrence of two adjacent words is a edge, we can get a graph from a document. After that, we find important words using TextRank algorithm from the graph and make feature which are pairs of words which are each important word and a word adjacent to the important word. We use classifiers: SVM, Na$\ddot{i}$ve Bayesian classifier, Maximum Entropy Model, and k-NN classifier. We use non-cross-posted version of 20 Newsgroups data set. In consequence, we had an improved performance in whole classifiers, and the result tells that is a possibility of TextRank algorithm in text categorization.

In this paper, we propose a Wi-Fi Mesh-based fire detection system for fire detection and rapid response. Previous fire detectors had the problem that it is difficult to distinguish between fire and non-fire based on a single sensor, and since multiple detectors operate independently, there is a lack of interconnectivity. In this paper, we present a fire detection system based on a K-NN classification model using a multi-sensor based fire detector. Also, by constructing a mesh network for fire detection, detectors within a spatial range can be interlinked to detect fire. Looking at the performance evaluation results of the implemented system, it was confirmed that the TPR(True Positive Rate) of fire classification was 96.1%, the FPR(False Positive Rate) was 0%, and the F1-Score, which corresponds to the harmonized mean value of accuracy and reproduction rate of fire and non-fire classification, was 98.01%, and the prediction accuracy ACC(Accuracy) showed excellent performance of 98.05%. In the future, we intend to develop it into an intelligent fire detector system through mesh network monitoring and multi-sensor self-diagnosis functions.

In this paper, we present an approach for facial expression recognition using Active Shape Models(ASM) and a state-based model in image sequences. Given an image frame, we use ASM to obtain the shape parameter vector of the model while we locate facial feature points. Then, we can obtain the shape parameter vector set for all the frames of an image sequence. This vector set is converted into a state vector which is one of the three states by the state-based model. In the classification step, we use the k-NN with the proposed similarity measure that is motivated on the observation that the variation-regions of an expression sequence are different from those of other expression sequences. In the experiment with the public database KCFD, we demonstrate that the proposed measure slightly outperforms the binary measure in which the recognition performance of the k-NN with the proposed measure and the existing binary measure show 89.1% and 86.2% respectively when k is 1.
