We present a new approach to evaluate the generated texts by Large Language Models (LLMs) for meme classification. Analyzing an image with embedded texts, i.e. meme, is challenging, even for existing state-of-the-art computer vision models. By leveraging large image-to-text models, we can extract image descriptions that can be used in other tasks, such as classification. In our methodology, we first generate image captions using BLIP-2 models. Using these captions, we use GPT-4 to evaluate the relationship between the caption and the meme text. The results show that OPT_6.7B provides a better rating than other LLMs, suggesting that the proposed method has a potential for meme classification.

Monpe, Korean women's wartime attire during the Japanese colonization period, has survived for 70 years as typical baggy workpants for rural women and emerged as retro-fashion. This paper applied a theory of "meme" to explain the monpe fashion trend in Korea. Based on literature review, empirical analyses were conducted by analyzing market and media including newspaper articles and blogs. We found that the monpe meme has evolved over time through variation, penetration, and diffusion. In terms of variation, the impression of monpe transitioned from a negative image to a positive one as a result of changes in design, functionality, and popular image. In terms of penetration, the monpe meme has spread into popular culture, again through mass media, with images of active, sexy, and attractive monpe-wearers on television and at popular occasions. Finally, the monpe meme has diffused throughout a broad range of consumers of various ages and both genders as an item of clothing for various occasions through diversified distribution channels. In this way, the development of monpe as fashionable clothing in Korea during the 2000s is itself a meme reflecting its evolution from a disgraceful colonial legacy to an item of contemporary fashion.

This study defines the concept of the fashion meme, which has recently emerged as a fashion trend, influential fashion keyword. After analyzing the concepts and characteristics of traditional memes from prior studies, examples of fashion memes were collected from online community and social network services, while a literature study and case study analysis were conducted in parallel drawing on related articles and journals. Modern fashion memes refer to fashion-related symbols and fashion images that are spread online by word-of-mouth, together with fashion styles and items that spread as a result of being worn. Fashion memes in cyberspace are mainly spread through social network or message services, and sometimes combine text, images, videos, hashtags, and emoticons. Fashion memes are a type of collective action of the people in response to social problems in the world, and often involve humorous antics, satire, shock, and eccentricity. Shared fashion memes reflect the expression of personality expression and fun, and at the same time are used as an expression of designer and brand creativity and are integral to marketing. Fashion memes are classified into four types, based on two central axes as follows: non-commercial/commercial and anti-fashion/fashion-friendly. Unlike traditional memes, Internet-based fashion memes emphasize elements of transformation through creativity as well as imitation, which has become a persisting contemporary trend beyond temporary phenomena.

This research aims to identify and reveal the meaning of memes about COVID-19, and explain changes in meme content in regard to the information development of COVID-19 in Indonesia published by the mass media and online media. The data is sourced from memes that are shared on social media, especially WhatsApp groups in the period of January to June 2020. To reveal the meaning of memes, a semiotic analysis of Roland Barthes' model is used. Qualitative analysis is used to reveal the relationship between memes and the information development of COVID-19 in Indonesia. The results of the study show that meme content has shifted according to three stages of information development of COVID-19 in Indonesia published by the mass media and online media. When COVID-19 was not yet confirmed in Indonesia, meme content contained mostly humor that was not educative, moreover it seemed to underestimate the coronavirus. Meme content which is mostly humorous and pornographic occurred when COVID-19 was confirmed in Indonesia and during the lockdown policy. At last, as the government has begun to distribute social assistance, the meme content looks more critical. The results of this research emphasize the urgency of the mass media as a source of public information during the COVID-19 pandemic, become a reference for the community in making memes as a forum for expressing feelings and social criticism, and serve as a reference for the government to act and make the right decisions related to the pandemic that is endemic in their country.

본 연구는 국내 교육 환경에서 특별하게 등장하고 있는 학습시간 관리서비스의 개념과 그 안에서 활용되고 있는 게이미피케이션 요소들의 특성을 파악한 후, 학습시간 관리서비스가 지향하는 심리적 반엔트로피의 의미와 새로운 게이미피케이션 요소로서 밈(meme)의 역할을 제시한다. 교육용 게이미피케이션의 목표는 게임과 학습의 유사한 부분을 찾아 학습 환경에 접목시킴으로써 학습 동기를 강화하고 몰입으로 이끄는 것이다. 학습시간 관리서비스 또한 그러한 목표를 지향한다. 하지만 그것은 앱 차단과 같은 외적 반엔트로피 환경을 게임적 기술이나 게임적 사고로 연결해 외적 동기를 부여한다는 점에서 차이가 있다. 뿐만 아니라 내적 동기를 유발하기 위해 새로운 게이미피케이션 요소로서 밈을 활용한다는 점에서도 차별화된다. 특히, 학습 패턴과 관련된 밈은 학습 활동 수행에 관한 일종의 지침과 같은 것으로서, 우수한 학습 패턴을 모방하려는 내적 동기를 유발하고 심리적 반엔트로피 상태를 지속시킬 수 있는 동력이 된다. 따라서 학습시간 관리서비스안의 게이미피케이션은 게임 기반의 기술이나 게임적 사고를 활용함으로써 외적 반엔트로피 환경을 강화하고, 학습 패턴의 밈을 활용함으로써 심리적 반엔트로피 상태를 지속시키는 것이다.
