  • We propose a novel phase-based method for single-channel speech enhancement to extract and enhance the desired signals in noisy environments by utilizing the phase information. In the method, a phase-dependent a priori signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is estimated in the log-mel spectral domain to utilize both the magnitude and phase information of input speech signals. The phase-dependent estimator is incorporated into the conventional magnitude-based decision-directed approach that recursively computes the a priori SNR from noisy speech. Additionally, we reduce the performance degradation owing to the one-frame delay of the estimated phase-dependent a priori SNR by using a minimum mean square error (MMSE)-based and maximum a posteriori (MAP)-based estimator. In our speech enhancement experiments, the proposed phase-dependent a priori SNR estimator is shown to improve the output SNR by 2.6 dB for both the MMSE-based and MAP-based estimator cases as compared to a conventional magnitude-based estimator.

  • The electronic acupuncture has the advantage of treating the patient with acupuncture by simultaneously analyzing the patient's physical condition and treatment condition. In this paper, it is proposed and developed an electronic acupuncture algorithm embedded in a multi pad. Especially, it is implemented the control algorithm using the optimal electronic dipstick calculation, sensing pad and DSP system for the patient's body condition. Moreover, in this paper, it is developed SW and HW prototypes that can receive personal information by patient and can receive multi-array type electronc needle guiding procedure based on WEB.

  • For video understanding, namely analyzing who did what in a video, actions along with objects are primary elements. Most studies on actions have handled recognition problems for a well-trimmed video and focused on enhancing their classification performance. However, action detection, including localization as well as recognition, is required because, in general, actions intersect in time and space. In addition, most studies have not considered extensibility for a newly added action that has been previously trained. Therefore, proposed in this paper is an extensible hierarchical method for detecting generic actions, which combine object movements and spatial relations between two objects, and inherited actions, which are determined by the related objects through an ontology and rule based methodology. The hierarchical design of the method enables it to detect any interactive actions based on the spatial relations between two objects. The method using object information achieves an F-measure of 90.27%. Moreover, this paper describes the extensibility of the method for a new action contained in a video from a video domain that is different from the dataset used.

  • In social network services, such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and certain postings attract more people than others. In this paper, we propose a novel method for predicting the lifespan and retweet times of tweets, the latter being a proxy for measuring the popularity of a tweet. We extract information from retweet graphs, such as posting times; and social, local, and content features, so as to construct prediction knowledge bases. Tweets with a similar topic, retweet pattern, and properties are sequentially extracted from the knowledge base and then used to make a prediction. To evaluate the performance of our model, we collected tweets on Twitter from June 2012 to October 2012. We compared our model with conventional models according to the prediction goal. For the lifespan prediction of a tweet, our model can reduce the time tolerance of a tweet lifespan by about four hours, compared with conventional models. In terms of prediction of the retweet times, our model achieved a significantly outstanding precision of about 50%, which is much higher than two of the conventional models showing a precision of around 30% and 20%, respectively.

  • 각종 사이버 범죄가 증가함에 따라 실시간 모니터링을 통한 사전 탐지 기술뿐만 아니라, 사후 원인 분석을 통한 사고 재발 방지 기술의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 사후 분석은 시스템에서 생산된 다양한 유형의 대용량 로그를 기반으로 분석가가 보안 위협 과정을 규명하는 것으로 이를 지원하는 다양한 상용 및 오픈 소스 SW 존재하나, 대부분 단일 분석가 PC에서 운용되는 파일 기반 SW로 대용량 데이터에 대한 분석 성능 저하, 다수 분석가 간의 데이터 공유 불가, 통계 연관 분석 한계 및 대화형 점진적 내용 분석 불가 등의 문제점을 해결하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 고성능 인메모리 관계형 데이터베이스 시스템을 로그 스토리지로 활용하는 대용량 로그 분석 SW 개발하였다. 특히, 기 확보된 공격자 프로파일을 활용하여 공격의 유무를 확인하는 텍스트 패턴 매칭 연산은 전통적인 관계형 데이터베이스 시스템의 FTS(Full-Text Search) 기능 활용이 가능하나, 대용량 전용 색인 생성에 따른 비현실적인 DB 구축 소요 시간과 최소 3배 이상의 DB 용량 증가로 인한 시스템 리소스 추가 요구 등의 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 인메모리 관계형 데이터베이스 시스템 기반 효율적인 텍스트 패턴 매칭 연산을 위하여, 고성능의 대용량 로그 DB 적재 방법과 새로운 유형의 패턴 매칭 방법을 제안하였다.

  • As the supply method of products has become diverse and complex, problems such as manipulation of origin and product trace have occurred in the existing supply chain system. In order to deal with these issues, various Blockchain based studies have been actively carried in the SW industry and academy. However, there is a lack of comprehensive survey research on the applied Blockchain techniques, so that it hardly understand the pros and cons of the technologies. In this study, we intensively investigated the diverse studies from the Industrial and academic area based on the several criteria such as the goals, use of key Blockchain technologies, and IoT technologies.
