Fake news is defined as the news articles that are intentionally and verifiably false, and could mislead readers. Spread of fake news may provoke anxiety, chaos, fear, or irrational decisions of the public. Thus, detecting fake news and preventing its spread has become very important issue in our society. However, due to the huge amount of fake news produced every day, it is almost impossible to identify it by a human. Under this context, researchers have tried to develop automated fake news detection method using Artificial Intelligence techniques over the past years. But, unfortunately, there have been no prior studies proposed an automated fake news detection method for Korean news. In this study, we aim to detect Korean fake news using text mining and machine learning techniques. Our proposed method consists of two steps. In the first step, the news contents to be analyzed is convert to quantified values using various text mining techniques (Topic Modeling, TF-IDF, and so on). After that, in step 2, classifiers are trained using the values produced in step 1. As the classifiers, machine learning techniques such as multiple discriminant analysis, case based reasoning, artificial neural networks, and support vector machine can be applied. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we collected 200 Korean news from Seoul National University's FactCheck (http://factcheck.snu.ac.kr). which provides with detailed analysis reports from about 20 media outlets and links to source documents for each case. Using this dataset, we will identify which text features are important as well as which classifiers are effective in detecting Korean fake news.

동일한 인명을 갖는 서로 다른 실세계 사람들이 존재하는 현실은 인터넷 세계에서 인명으로 표현된 개체의 신원을 식별해야 하는 문제를 발생시킨다. 상기의 문제가 학술정보 내의 저자명 개체로 제한된 경우를 저자식별이라 부른다. 저자식별은 식별 대상이 되는 저자명 개체 사이의 유사도 즉 저자유사도를 계산하는 단계와 이후 저자명 개체들을 군집화하는 단계로 이루어진다. 저자유사도는 공저자, 논문제목, 게재지정보 등의 저자식별자질들의 자질유사도로부터 계산되는데, 이를 위해 기존에 교사방법과 비교사방법들이 사용되었다. 저자식별된 학습샘플을 사용하는 교사방법은 비교사방법에 비해 다양한 저자식별자진들을 결합하는 최저의 저자유사도함수를 자동학습할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 기존교사방법 연구에서는 SVM, MEM 등의 일부 기계학습기법만이 시도되었다. 이 논문은 다양한 기계학습기법들이 저자식별에 미치는 성능, 오류, 효율성을 비교하고, 공저자와 논문제목 자질에 대해 자질값 추출 및 자질 유사도 계산을 위한 여러 기법들의 비교분석을 제공한다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of predicting the degree of smartphone overdependence based on mobile phone usage patterns. Design/methodology/approach - In this study, a survey conducted by Korea Internet and Security Agency(KISA) called "problematic smartphone use survey" was analyzed. The survey consists of 180 questions, and data were collected from 29,712 participants. Based on the data on the smartphone usage pattern obtained through the questionnaire, the smartphone addiction level was predicted using machine learning techniques. k-NN, gradient boosting, XGBoost, CatBoost, AdaBoost and random forest algorithms were employed. Findings - First, while various factors together influence the smartphone overdependence level, the results show that all machine learning techniques perform well to predict the smartphone overdependence level. Especially, we focus on the features which can be obtained from the smartphone log data (without psychological factors). It means that our results can be a basis for diagnostic programs to detect problematic smartphone use. Second, the results show that information on users' age, marriage and smartphone usage patterns can be used as predictors to determine whether users are addicted to smartphones. Other demographic characteristics such as sex or region did not appear to significantly affect smartphone overdependence levels. Research implications or Originality - While there are some studies that predict smartphone overdependence level using machine learning techniques, but the studies only present algorithm performance based on survey data. In this study, based on the information gain measure, questions that have more influence on the smartphone overdependence level are presented, and the performance of algorithms according to the questions is compared. Through the results of this study, it is shown that smartphone overdependence level can be predicted with less information if questions about smartphone use are given appropriately.

This study introduces an effective method for predicting individual local tax delinquencies using prevalent machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The evaluation of credit risk holds great significance in the financial realm, impacting both companies and individuals. While credit risk prediction has been explored using statistical and machine learning techniques, their application to tax arrears prediction remains underexplored. We forecast individual local tax defaults in Republic of Korea using machine and deep learning algorithms, including convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq). Our model incorporates diverse credit and public information like loan history, delinquency records, credit card usage, and public taxation data, offering richer insights than prior studies. The results highlight the superior predictive accuracy of the CNN model. Anticipating local tax arrears more effectively could lead to efficient allocation of administrative resources. By leveraging advanced machine learning, this research offers a promising avenue for refining tax collection strategies and resource management.

This study is on modulo scheduling algorithms for multicore processor in machine learning applications. Machine learning algorithms are designed to perform a large amount of operations such as vectors and matrices in order to quickly process large amounts of data stream. To support such large amounts of computations, processor architectures to support applications such as artificial intelligence, neural networks, and machine learning are designed in the form of parallel processing such as multicore. To effectively utilize these multi-core hardware resources, various compiler techniques are being used and studied. In this study, among these compiler techniques, we analyzed the modular scheduler, which is especially important in one core's computation pipeline. This paper looked at and compared the iterative modular scheduler and the swing modular scheduler, which are the most widely used and studied. As a result, both schedulers provided similar performance results, and when measuring register pressure as an indicator, it was confirmed that the swing modulo scheduler provided slightly better performance. In this study, a technique that divides recurrence edge is proposed to improve the minimum initiation interval of the modulo schedulers.

Triage is a practice of accurately prioritizing patients in emergency department (ED) based on their medical condition to provide them with proper treatment service. The variation in triage assessment among medical staff can cause mis-triage which affect the patients negatively. Developing ED triage system based on machine learning (ML) techniques can lead to accurate and efficient triage outcomes. This study aspires to develop a triage system using machine learning techniques to predict ED triage levels using patients' information. We conducted a retrospective study using Security Forces Hospital ED data, from 2021 through 2023 during Hajj period in Saudia Arabi. Using demographics, vital signs, and chief complaints as predictors, two machine learning models were investigated, naming gradient boosted decision tree (XGB) and deep neural network (DNN). The models were trained to predict ED triage levels and their predictive performance was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and confusion matrix. A total of 11,584 ED visits were collected and used in this study. XGB and DNN models exhibit high abilities in the predicting performance with AUC-ROC scores 0.85 and 0.82, respectively. Compared to the traditional approach, our proposed system demonstrated better performance and can be implemented in real-world clinical settings. Utilizing ML applications can power the triage decision-making, clinical care, and resource utilization.

SIZE KOREA updates body measurement data every five years, providing essential information for the fashion industry. This anthropometric data is widely used to diagnose consumer body shapes and develop optimal clothing sizes. Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, excels in predicting such body shape classifications. This study seeks to enhance the suitability of clothing design by applying the new analytical methodology of machine learning techniques to better capture and classify the unique body shapes of Korean women. In this study, machine learning techniques such as K-means clustering, Silhouette analysis, and Decision Tree analysis were used to classify the lower body shapes of Korean women in their twenties and identify standard body shapes useful for slacks design. The results showed that the lower body of the age group could be classified into three categories: 'small stature' (the majority), 'tall with an average lower body volume,' and 'medium height with a fuller lower body' (the smallest share). The three-cluster approach is validated through Silhouette analysis, which minimizes misclassification. Decision Tree analysis then further defines the criteria for these clusters, highlighting waist height and hip depth as the most significant factors, achieving a classification accuracy of 90.6%. While this study is not directly related to Robotic Process Automation, its detailed analysis of body shapes for slacks patterns can aid RPA in clothing production. Future research should continue integrating machine learning in human body and fashion design studies.

Due to COVID19 pandemic, most of educational institutions and schools changed the traditional way of teaching to online teaching and learning using well-known Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, etc. Accordingly, LMS started to generate a large data related to students' characteristics and achievements and other course-related information. This makes it difficult to teachers to monitor students' behaviour and performance. Therefore, a need to support teachers with a tool alerting student who might be in risk based on their recorded activities and achievements in adopted LMS in the school. This paper focuses on the benefits of using recorded data in LMS platforms, specifically Moodle, to predict students' performance by analysing their behavioural data and engagement activities using data mining techniques. As part of the overall process, this study encountered the task of extracting and selecting relevant data features for predicting performance, along with designing the framework and choosing appropriate machine learning techniques. The collected data underwent pre-processing operations to remove random partitions, empty values, duplicates, and code the data. Different machine learning techniques, including k-NN, TREE, Ensembled Tree, SVM, and MLPNNs were applied to the processed data. The results showed that the MLPNNs technique outperformed other classification techniques, achieving a classification accuracy of 93%, while SVM and k-NN achieved 90% and 87% respectively. This indicates the possibility for future research to investigate incorporating other neural network methods for categorizing students using data from LMS.

In this paper, we develop a galaxy image classification method based on hand-crafted features and machine learning techniques. Additionally, we provide an empirical analysis to reveal which combination of the techniques is effective for galaxy image classification. To achieve this, we developed a framework which consists of four modules such as preprocessing, feature extraction, feature post-processing, and classification. Finally, we found that the best technique for galaxy image classification is a method to use a median filter, ORB vector features and a voting classifier based on RBF SVM, random forest and logistic regression. The final method is efficient so we believe that it is applicable to embedded environments.
