  • The study investigates how financial markets respond to a shock to tone and semantic similarity of the Bank of Thailand press releases. The techniques in natural language processing are employed to quantify the tone and the semantic similarity of 69 press releases from 2010 to 2018. The corpus of the press releases is accessible to the general public. Stock market returns and bond yields are measured by logged return on SET50 and short-term and long-term government bonds, respectively. Data are daily from January 4, 2010, to August 8, 2019. The study uses the Structural Vector Auto Regressive model (SVAR) to analyze the effects of unanticipated and temporary shocks to the tone and the semantic similarity on bond yields and stock market returns. Impulse response functions are also constructed for the analysis. The results show that 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year bond yields significantly increase in response to a positive shock to the tone of press releases and 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year and 25-year bond yields significantly increase in response to a positive shock to the semantic similarity. Interestingly, stock market returns obtained from the SET50 index insignificantly respond to the shocks from the tone and the semantic similarity of the press releases.

  • Recent studies have shown that the neural network-based binary code similarity detection technology performs well in vulnerability mining, plagiarism detection, and malicious code analysis. However, existing cross-architecture methods still suffer from insufficient feature characterization and low discrimination accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes a cross-architecture binary function similarity detection method based on composite feature model (SDCFM). Firstly, the binary function is converted into vector representation according to the proposed composite feature model, which is composed of instruction statistical features, control flow graph structural features, and application program interface calling behavioral features. Then, the composite features are embedded by the proposed hierarchical embedding network based on a graph neural network. In which, the block-level features and the function-level features are processed separately and finally fused into the embedding. In addition, to make the trained model more accurate and stable, our method utilizes the embeddings of predecessor nodes to modify the node embedding in the iterative updating process of the graph neural network. To assess the effectiveness of composite feature model, we contrast SDCFM with the state of art method on benchmark datasets. The experimental results show that SDCFM has good performance both on the area under the curve in the binary function similarity detection task and the vulnerable candidate function ranking in vulnerability search task.

  • In this paper, we propose a new learning method using a variable learning to improve pattern recognition in the FCSR(Fast Commit Slow Recode) learning method of the Fuzzy ART. Traditional learning methods have used a fixed learning rate in updating weight vector(representative pattern). In the traditional method, the weight vector will be updated with a fixed learning rate regardless of the degree of similarity of the input pattern and the representative pattern in the category. In this case, the updated weight vector is greatly influenced from the input pattern where it is on the boundary of the category. Thus, in noisy environments, this method has a problem in increasing unnecessary categories and reducing pattern recognition capacity. In the proposed method, the lower similarity between the representative pattern and input pattern is, the lower input pattern contributes for updating weight vector. As a result, this results in suppressing the unnecessary category proliferation and improving pattern recognition capacity of the Fuzzy ART in noisy environments.

  • The local wind systems in the Pohang region were categorized into wind sectors. Still, thorough knowledge of wind resource assessment, wind environment analysis, and atmospheric environmental impact assessment was required since the region has outstanding wind resources, it is located on the path of typhoon, and it has large-scale atmospheric pollution sources. To overcome the resolution limitation of meteorological dataset and problems of categorization criteria of the preceding studies, the high-resolution wind resource map of the Korea Institute of Energy Research was used as time-series meteorological data; the 2-step method of determining the clustering coefficient through hierarchical clustering analysis and subsequently categorizing the wind sectors through non-hierarchical K-means clustering analysis was adopted. The similarity of normalized time-series wind vector was proposed as the Euclidean distance. The meteor-statistical characteristics of the mean vector wind distribution and meteorological variables of each wind sector were compared. The comparison confirmed significant differences among wind sectors according to the terrain elevation, mean wind speed, Weibull shape parameter, etc.

  • In recent years, researches on rotary inverted pendulum control systems have been significantly focused due their highly nonlinear dynamics and complicated geometric structures. This paper presents a novel control approach for such systems by means of similarity transformation theory. At first, we represent nonlinear system dynamics to the controllability-formed state space model including a time-varying parameter vector. We establish the state-feedback control configuration based on the transformed model and derive an adaptive control law for adjusting desired characteristic equation. Numerical analysis is achieved to evaluate our control method and demonstrate its superiority by comparing it to the traditional control strategy. Furthermore, real-time control experiment is carried out to test its practical reliability.

  • 본 논문에는 일반문서를 대상으로 하여 그 문사를 하이퍼텍스트(hypertext)로 자동변환하는 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 자동변환의 과정은 대상 문서에서 키워드(keyword)의 인식, 문서를 노드(node) 단위로 분리, 키워드로부터 노드로의 링크(ink) 생성의 3 단계로 이루어 진다. 기존의 연구에서는 문서에서 노드를 분리하는데 구문적 유사도만을 이용하는데, 본 논문에서는 양질의 하이퍼텍스트를 생성하기 위하여 구문적 유사도(syntactic similarity)뿐만 아니라 의미적 유사도(semantic similarity)를 사용한다. 구문적 유사도는 tf*idf와 벡터 곱(vector product)을 이용하고, 의미적 유사도는 시소러스(thesaurus)와 부분부합(partial match)을 이용하여 계산되어 진다. 또 링크 생성시 잘못된 링크의 생성을 막기 위하여 시소러스를 이용하여 시소러스에 존재하는 용어에 한해서 링크를 생성한다.

  • Pearson's correlation coefficient and Vector similarity are generally applied to The users' similarity weight of user based recommender system. This study is needed to find that the correlation coefficient of similarity weight is effected by the number of pair response and significance probability. From the classified correlation coefficient by the significance probability test on the correlation coefficient and pair of response, the change of MAE is studied by comparing the predicted precision of the two. The results are experimentally related with the change of MAE from the significant correlation coefficient and the number of pair response.

  • In this paper, a plane detection method using depth information is proposed. 3-D characteristics of a pixel are defined as a direction and length of a normal vector whose is calculated from a plane consisting of a local region centered on the pixel. Image coordinates of each pixel are transformed to 3-D coordinates in order to obtain the local planes. Regions of each plane are detected by calculating similarity of the 3-D characteristics. The similarity of the characteristics consists of direction and distance similarities of normal vectors. If the similarity of the characteristics between two adjacent pixels is enough high, the two pixels are regarded as consisting of same plane. Simulation results show that the proposed method using the depth picture is more accurate for detecting plane areas than the conventional method.

  • Traditional vector quantization (VQ) schemes encode image blocks as VQ indices, in which there is significant similarity between the image block and the codeword of the VQ index. Thus, the method can compress an image and maintain good image quality. This paper proposes a novel lossless VQ indices compression algorithm to further compress the VQ index table. Our scheme exploits the high correlation of adjacent image blocks to search for the same VQ index with the current encoding index from the neighboring indices. To increase compression efficiency, codewords in the codebook are sorted according to the degree of similarity of adjacent VQ indices to generate a state codebook to find the same index with the current encoding index. Note that the repetition indices both on the search path and in the state codebooks are excluded to increase the possibility for matching the current encoding index. Experimental results illustrated the superiority of our scheme over other compression schemes in the index domain.
