The purpose of this study is to analyze the misconception flowchart of programming control structure and to suggest it as a method for improving computational thinking. In this study, we divide programming control structure concept into sequential, iteration, selection, and function, analyze what concept and principle are difficult for each learner, and what kind of misconception flowchart is drawn in the Introduction of C Programming course for beginners' programming learning. As an example, we show that a lesson learned from the process of correcting the misconception flowchart to the correct flowchart in the course.

Since it is common to have touch-screen devices, it is less challenging to draw sketches anywhere and save them in vector form. Current research on sketches considers coordinate sequence data and adopts sequential models for learning sketch representation in sketch understanding. In the sketch dataset, it has become customary that the dataset is in vector coordinate format. Moreover, the popular dataset does not consider real-life sketches, sketches from pencil, pen, and paper. Art psychology uses real-life sketches to analyze patients. ETRI presents a unique sketch dataset for sketch recognition of autism spectrum disorder in pixel format. We present a method to formulate the dataset for better generalization of sketch data. Through experiments, we show that pixel-based models can produce a good performance.

Recently, there has been significant research into the recognition of human activities using three-dimensional sequential skeleton data captured by the Kinect depth sensor. Many of these studies employ deep learning models. This study introduces a novel feature selection method for this data and analyzes it using machine learning models. Due to the high-dimensional nature of the original Kinect data, effective feature extraction methods are required to address the classification challenge. In this research, we propose using the first four moments as predictors to represent the distribution of joint sequences and evaluate their effectiveness using two datasets: The exergame dataset, consisting of three activities, and the MSR daily activity dataset, composed of ten activities. The results show that the accuracy of our approach outperforms existing methods on average across different classifiers.

In this paper, we adopt a transformer that shows remarkable performance in natural language processing as an acoustic model of hybrid speech recognition. The transformer acoustic model uses attention structures to process sequential data and shows high performance with low computational cost. This paper proposes a method to improve the performance of transformer AM by applying each of the four algorithms of sequence discriminative training, a weighted finite-state transducer (wFST)-based learning used in the existing DNN-HMM model. In addition, compared to the Cross Entropy (CE) learning method, sequence discriminative method shows 5 % of the relative Word Error Rate (WER).

In this paper, we present a systematic method to derive spectrum of high-order pulse and a novel design of e-Learning system that deals with deriving the spectrum using concept-based branching method. Spectrum of high-order pulse can be derived using conventional methods including 'Consecutive Differentiations' or 'Convolutions', however, their complexity of calculation should be too high to be used as the order of the pulse increase. We develop a recursive algorithm according to the order of pulse, and then derive the formula of spectrum connected to the order with a newly designed look-up table. Moving along, we design an e-Learning content for studying the procedure of deriving high-order pulse spectrum described above. In this authoring, we use the concept-based object branching method including conventional page or title-type branching in sequential playing. We design all four Content-pages divided into 'Modeling', 'Impulse Response and Transfer Function', 'Parameters' and 'Look-up Table' by these conceptual objects. And modules and sub-modules are constructed hierarchically as conceptual elements from the Content-pages. Students can easily approach to the core concepts of the analysis because of the effects of our new teaching method. We offer step-by-step processes of the e-Learning content through unit-based branching scheme for difficult modules and sub-modules in our system. In addition we can offer repetitive learning processes for necessary block of given learning objects. Moreover, this method of constructing content will be considered as an advanced effectiveness of content itself.

인간과 컴퓨터간의 상호교류 하는데 있어서 감정 인식은 필수라 하겠다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 음성 신호 및 얼굴 영상을 BL(Bayesian Learning)과 PCA(Principal Component Analysis)에 적용하여 5가지 감정 (Normal, Happy, Sad, Anger, Surprise) 으로 패턴 분류하였다. 그리고 각각 신호의 단점을 보완하고 인식률을 높이기 위해 결정 융합 방법과 특징 융합 방법을 이용하여 감정융합을 실행하였다. 결정 융합 방법은 각각 인식 시스템을 통해 얻어진 인식 결과 값을 퍼지 소속 함수에 적용하여 감정 융합하였으며, 특정 융합 방법은 SFS(Sequential Forward Selection)특정 선택 방법을 통해 우수한 특정들을 선택한 후 MLP(Multi Layer Perceptron) 기반 신경망(Neural Networks)에 적용하여 감정 융합을 실행하였다.

The rapid growth of the World Wide Web and online information services has generated and made accessible a huge number of text documents. To analyze texts, selecting important keywords is an essential step. In this paper, we propose a feature selection method that combines a term frequency-inverse document frequency technique and symmetrical conditional probability. The proposed method can identify features with N-gram, the sequential multiword. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a real text data from the machine learning repository, University of California, Irvine.

In a most recent object tracking research work, applying Convolutional Neural Network and Recurrent Neural Network-based strategies become relevant for resolving the noticeable challenges in it, like, occlusion, motion, object, and camera viewpoint variations, changing several targets, lighting variations. In this paper, the LSTM Network-based Tracking association method has proposed where the technique capable of real-time multi-object tracking by creating one of the useful LSTM networks that associated with tracking, which supports the long term tracking along with solving challenges. The LSTM network is a different neural network defined in Keras as a sequence of layers, where the Sequential classes would be a container for these layers. This purposing network structure builds with the integration of tracking association on Keras neural-network library. The tracking process has been associated with the LSTM Network feature learning output and obtained outstanding real-time detection and tracking performance. In this work, the main focus was learning trackable objects locations, appearance, and motion details, then predicting the feature location of objects on boxes according to their initial position. The performance of the joint object tracking system has shown that the LSTM network is more powerful and capable of working on a real-time multi-object tracking process.

We improve the performance of cardiac disorder classification by adding new temporal features extracted from continuous heart sound signals. We add three kinds of novel temporal features to a conventional feature based on mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC): Heart sound envelope, murmur probabilities, and murmur amplitude variation. In cardiac disorder classification and detection experiments, we evaluate the contribution of the proposed features to classification accuracy and select proper temporal features using the sequential feature selection method. The selected features are shown to improve classification accuracy significantly and consistently for neural network-based pattern classifiers such as multi-layer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM).

Since the introduction of Deep Neural Networks to the Natural Language Processing field, two major approaches have been considered for modeling text. One method involved learning embeddings, i.e. the distributed representations containing abstract semantics of words or sentences, with the textual context. The other strategy consisted of composing the embeddings trained by the above to get embeddings of longer texts. However, most studies of the composition methods just adopt word embeddings without consideration of the optimal embedding unit and the optimal method of composition. In this paper, we conducted experiments to analyze the optimal embedding unit and the optimal composition method for modeling longer texts, such as documents. In addition, we suggest a new discourse-based composition to overcome the limitation of the sequential composition method on composing sentence embeddings.
