인공지능(AI)의 확산과 함께 금융 분야에서도 상품추천, 고객 응대 자동화, 이상거래탐지, 신용 심사 등 다양한 인공지능 기반 서비스가 확대되고 있다. 하지만 데이터에 기반한 기계학습의 특성상 신뢰성과 관련된 문제 발생과 예상하지 못한 사회적 논란도 함께 발생하고 있다. 인공지능의 효용은 극대화하고 위험과 부작용은 최소화할 수 있는 신뢰할 수 있는 인공지능에 대한 필요성은 점점 더 커지고 있다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 소비자의 금융 생활에 직접 영향을 끼치는 인공지능 기반 개인신용평가의 공정성 확보를 위한 체크리스트 제안을 통해 인공지능 기반 금융서비스에 대한 신뢰 향상에 기여하고자 하였다. 인공지능 신뢰성의 주요 핵심 요소인 투명성, 안전성, 책무성, 공정성 중 포용 금융의 관점에서 자동화된 알고리즘의 혜택을 사회적 차별 없이 모두가 누릴 수 있도록 공정성을 연구 대상으로 선정하였다. 문헌 연구를 통해 공정성이 영향을 끼치는 서비스 운용의 전 과정을 데이터, 알고리즘, 사용자의 세 개의 영역으로 구분하고, 12가지 하위 점검 항목과 항목별 세부 권고안으로 체크리스트를 구성하였다. 구성한 체크리스트는 이해관계자(금융 분야 종사자, 인공지능 분야 종사자, 일반 사용자)별 계층적 분석과정(AHP)을 통해 점검 항목에 대한 상대적 중요도 및 우선순위를 도출하였다. 이해관계자별 중요도에 따라 세 개의 그룹으로 분류하여 분석한 결과 학습데이터와 비금융정보 활용에 대한 타당성 검증 및 신규 유입 데이터 모니터링의 필요성 등 실용적 측면에서 구체적인 점검 사항을 파악하였고, 금융 소비자인 일반 사용자의 경우 결과에 대한 해석 오류 및 편향성 확인에 대한 중요도를 높게 평가한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과가 더 공정한 인공지능 기반 금융서비스의 구축과 운영에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.

특허의 사적 가치(private value)를 나타내는 특허수명 추정은 오래전부터 연구되었으나 추정과정에서 선형모델에 의존하는 경우가 대부분이었고, 기계학습 방법을 사용하더라도 변수 간 관계에 대한 해석이나 설명이 부족하였다. 본 연구에서는 특허의 생존 기간이 특허의 가치를 대리한다는 기존 연구결과를 바탕으로 특허 등록 이후의 생존 기간(연장횟수) 예측을 통해 특허의 가치를 추정한다. 이를 위해 1996~2017년까지 미국 특허청(USPTO)에 출원하여 등록된 특허 4,033,414개를 수집하였다. 특허수명을 예측하기 위해 기존 연구에서 특허수명에 영향을 미친다고 밝혀진 특허의 특성, 특허의 소유자 특성, 특허의 발명가 특성을 반영할 수 있는 다양한 변수가 사용되었다. 서로 다른 4개의 모델(Ridge Regression, Random Forest, Feed-forward Neural Network, Gradient Boosting Models)을 생성하고, 모델 학습 과정에서는 5-fold Cross Validation으로 초매개변수 조정이 이루어졌다. 이후 생성된 모델의 성능을 평가하고 특허수명을 추정할 수 있는 예측변수의 상대적 중요도를 제시하였다. 또한, 성능이 우수했던 Gradient Boosting Model을 기반으로 Accumulated Local Effects Plot을 제시하여 예측변수와 특허수명 간 관계를 시각적으로 나타내었다. 마지막으로 모델에 의해서 평가된 개별 특허의 평가 근거를 제시하기 위하여 Kernal SHAP(SHapley Additive exPlanations)을 적용하고 특허평가 시스템에의 적용 가능성을 제시한다. 본 연구는 기존에 특허수명을 추정하는 연구에 누적적으로 기여한다는 점 그리고 선형성을 바탕으로 진행된 기존 특허수명 추정 연구들의 한계를 보완하고 복잡한 비선형 관계를 설명가능한 방식으로 제시하였다는 점에서 학문적 의의가 있다. 또한, 개별 특허의 평가 근거를 도출하는 방법을 소개하고 특허평가 시스템에의 적용 가능성을 제시하였다는 점에서 실무적 의의가 있다.

최근 추천시스템 분야에서는 희소한 데이터를 효과적으로 모델링하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. GLocal-K(Global and Local Kernels for Recommender Systems)는 그중 하나의 연구로 전역 커널과 지역 커널을 결합하여 데이터의 전역적인 패턴과 개별 사용자의 특성을 모두 고려해 사용자 맞춤형 추천을 제공하는 모델이다. 하지만 GLocal-K는 커널 트릭을 사용하기 때문에 매우 희소한 데이터에서 성능이 떨어지고 부가 정보를 사용하지 않아 새로운 사용자나 아이템에 대한 추천을 제공하는 데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 GLocal-K의 단점을 극복하기 위해 EASE(Embarrassingly Shallow Autoencoders for Sparse Data) 모델과 부가 정보를 활용한 GEase-K(Global and EASE kernels for Recommender Systems) 모델을 제안한다. 우선 GLocal-K의 지역 커널 대신 EASE를 활용하여 매우 희소한 데이터에서 추천 성능을 높이고자 하였다. EASE는 단순한 선형 연산 구조로 이루어져 있지만, 규제화와 아이템 간 유사도 학습을 통해 매우 희소한 데이터에서 높은 성능을 내는 오토인코더이다. 다음으로 Cold Start 완화를 위해 부가 정보를 활용하였다. 학습 과정에서 부가 정보를 추가하기 위해 조건부 오토인코더 구조를 적용하였으며 이를 통해 사용자-아이템 간의 유사성을 더 잘 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 결론적으로 GEase-K는 선형 구조와 비선형 구조의 결합, 부가 정보의 활용을 통해 매우 희소한 데이터와 Cold Start 상황에서 강건한 모습을 보인다. 실험 결과, GEase-K는 매우 희소한 GoodReads, ModCloth 데이터 세트에서 RMSE, MAE 평가 지표 기준 GLocal-K 보다 높은 성능을 보였다. 또한 GoodReads, ModCloth 데이터 세트를 4개의 집단으로 나누어 실험한 Cold Start 실험에서도 GLocal-K 대비 Cold Start 상황에서 좋은 성능을 보였다.

폐는 생리학적 기능과 해부 조직학적 구조 측면을 통합적으로 고려하여 분석해야만 하는 매우 복잡한 조직이기 때문에 폐질환의 병리학적 연구와 흡입독성 평가에 현재까지 주로 동물모델을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 실험동물 윤리와 동물복지를 이유로 점차적으로 실험동물 수를 줄이자는 전세계적인 움직임에 맞춰 생체 외 동물실험 대체법들이 집중적으로 개발되고 있다. 특히 경제협력개발기구(OECD)와 미국 환경보호청(USEPA)은 2030년대 이후, 동물실험을 금지하기로 잠정적으로 합의함에 따라 의생명공학과 제약 분야에서 생체 외 흡입 독성 및 폐질환 모델들을 확립하고 개발된 모델을 이용한 평가 법들의 표준화 연구가 활발하다. 그 모델 중에 예를 들어, 생체칩(organ-on-a-chip, OoC) 및 오가노이드(organoid) 모델은 3차원 바이오 프린터, 미세 유체 시스템, 인공지능(artificial intelligent) 기술들과 접목되어 연구되고 있다. 이러한 생체 장기를 모방한 복합 장기 생체 외 모델링 시스템은 개체 차이를 가지는 생체 내 동물 실험에 비해 복잡한 생물학적 환경을 보다 정확하게 모방할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있으나 생체 모방성, 재현성, 민감성, 기반 데이터베이스의 부족 등 아직은 여러 한계점도 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 리뷰 논문에서는 만능성 줄기 세포 또는 암세포를 이용한 폐포, 폐 공기액 인터페이스(air-liquid interface, ALI) 시스템, 트랜스웰 멤브레인(transwell membrane)을 포함하여 폐 OoC 및 오가노이드의 최근 생체 외 폐 시스템 연구결과들과 AI와 접목된 인실리코(in silico) 폐 모델링에 대한 결과들의 현황을 살펴보고자 한다.

융합 R&D가 추구해야 할 바람직한 방향은 이종 기술 간의 결합에 의한 맹목적인 신기술 창출이 아니라, 당면한 주요 문제를 해결함으로써 사회적 니즈를 충족시킬 수 있는 기술을 개발하는 것이다. 이와 같은 사회문제 해결형 기술 R&D를 촉진하기 위해서는 우선 우리 사회에서 주요 쟁점이 되고 있는 문제들을 선별해야 한다. 그런데 우선적이고 중요한 사회문제를 분별하기 위해 전문가 설문조사나 여론조사 등 기존의 사회과학 방법론을 사용하는 것은 참여자의 선입견이 개입될 수 있고 비용이 많이 소요된다는 한계를 지닌다. 기존의 사회과학 방법론이 지닌 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 사회적 이슈를 다루고 있는 대용량의 뉴스기사를 수집하고 통계적인 기법을 통하여 사회문제를 나타내는 키워드를 추출하는 시스템의 개발을 제안한다. 2009년부터 최근까지 3년 동안 10개 주요 언론사에서 생산한 약 백 30만 건의 뉴스기사에서 사회문제를 다루는 기사를 식별하고, 한글 형태소 분석, 확률기반의 토픽 모델링을 통해 사회문제 키워드를 추출한다. 또한 키워드만으로는 정확한 사회문제를 파악하기 쉽지 않기 때문에 사회문제와 연관된 키워드와 문장을 찾아서 연결하는 매칭 알고리즘을 제안하다. 마지막으로 사회문제 키워드 비주얼라이제이션 시스템을 통해 시계열에 따른 사회문제 키워드를 일목요연하게 보여줌으로써 사회문제를 쉽게 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 특히 본 논문에서는 생성확률모델 기반의 새로운 매칭 알고리즘을 제안한다. 대용량 뉴스기사로부터 Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA)와 같은 토픽 모델 방법론을 사용하여 자동으로 토픽 클러스터 세트를 추출할 수 있다. 각 토픽 클러스터는 연관성 있는 단어들과 확률값으로 구성된다. 그리고 도메인 전문가는 토픽 클러스터를 분석하여, 각 토픽 클러스터의 레이블을 결정하게 된다. 이를 테면, 토픽 1 = {(실업, 0.4), (해고, 0.3), (회사, 0.3)}에서 토픽 단어들은 실업문제와 관련있으며, 도메인 전문가는 토픽 1을 실업문제로 레이블링 하게 되고, 이러한 토픽 레이블은 사회문제 키워드로 정의한다. 그러나 이와 같이 자동으로 생성된 사회문제 키워드를 분석하여 현재 우리 사회에서 어떤 문제가 발생하고 있고, 시급히 해결해야 될 문제가 무엇인지를 파악하기란 쉽지 않다. 따라서 제안된 매칭 알고리즘을 사용하여 사회문제 키워드를 요약(summarization)하는 방법론을 제시한다. 우선, 각 뉴스기사를 문단(paragraph) 단위로 세그먼트 하여 뉴스기사 대신에 문단 세트(A set of paragraphs)를 가지게 된다. 매칭 알고리즘은 각 토픽 클러스터에 대한 각 문단의 확률값을 측정하게된다. 이때 토픽 클러스터의 단어들과 확률값을 이용하여 토픽과 문단이 얼마나 연관성이 있는지를 계산하게 된다. 이러한 과정을 통해 각 토픽은 가장 연관성이 있는 문단들을 매칭할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 매칭 프로세스를 통해 사회문제 키워드와 연관된 문단들을 검토함으로써 실제 우리 사회에서 해당 사회문제 키워드와 관련해서 구체적으로 어떤 사건과 이슈가 발생하는 지를 쉽게 파악할 수 있게 된다. 또한 매칭 프로세스와 더불어 사회문제 키워드 가시화를 통해 사회문제 수요를 파악하려는 전문가들은 웹 브라우저를 통해 편리하게 특정 시간에 발생한 사회문제가 무엇이며, 구체적인 내용은 무엇인지를 파악할 수 있으며, 시간 순서에 따른 사회이슈의 변동 추이와 그 원인을 알 수 있게 된다. 개발된 시스템을 통해 최근 3년 동안 국내에서 발생했던 다양한 사회문제들을 파악하였고 개발된 알고리즘에 대한 평가를 수행하였다(본 논문에서 제안한 프로토타입 시스템은 http://dslab.snu.ac.kr/demo.html에서 이용 가능함. 단, 구글크롬, IE8.0 이상 웹 브라우저 사용 권장).

소셜 네트워크는 사용자들의 공통된 관심사, 경험, 그리고 일상 생활들을 함께 공유하기 위해 소셜 네트워크 상 사람들을 서로 연결시켜주는 거대한 커뮤니케이션 플랫폼이다. 소셜 네트워크상의 사용자들은 포스팅, 댓글, 인스턴스 메시지, 게임, 소셜 이벤트 외에도 다양한 애플리케이션을 통해 다른 사용자들과 소통하고 개인 정보 관리하는데 많은 시간을 소비한다. 소셜 네트워크 상의 풍부한 사용자 정보는 추천시스템이 추천 성능을 향상시키기 위해 필요한 큰 잠재력이 되었다. 대부분의 사용자들은 어떤 상품을 구매하기 전 가까운 관계이거나 같은 성향을 가진 사람들의 의견을 반영하여 의사 결정을 하게 된다. 그러므로 소셜 네트워크에서의 사용자 관계는 추천시스템을 위한 사용자 선호도 예측을 효율적으로 높이는데 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 일부 연구자들은 소셜 네트워크에서의 사용자와 다른 사용자들 사이의 상호작용 즉, 소셜 관계(social relationship)와 같은 소셜 데이터가 추천시스템에서 추천의 질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 연구하고 있다. 추천시스템은 아마존, 이베이, Last.fm과 같은 큰 규모의 전자상거래 사이트 또한 채택하여 사용되는 시스템으로, 추천시스템을 위한 방법으로는 협업적 여과 방법과 내용 기반 여과 방법이 있다. 협업적 여과 방법은 사용자들의 선호도 학습에 의해 사용자가 아직 평가하지 않은 아이템 중 선호할 수 있는 아이템을 정확하게 제안하기 위한 추천시스템 방법 중 하나이다. 협업적 여과는 사용자들의 데이터에 초점을 맞춘 방법으로 유사한 배경과 선호도를 가지는 사용자들로부터 정보를 수집하여 사용자들의 선호도 예측을 자동으로 발생시킨다. 특히 협업적 여과는 근접한 이웃 사용자들에 의해서 목적 사용자가 선호할 수 있는 아이템을 제시하는 것으로 유사한 이웃 사용자를 찾는 것이 중요하다. 좋은 이웃 사용자 발견은 사용자와 아이템을 고려하는 방법이 일반적이다. 각 사용자는 아이템 즉, 영화, 상품, 책 등에 자신의 선호도를 나타내기 위하여 평가 값을 입력하고, 시스템은 이를 바탕으로 사용자-평가 행렬을 구축한다. 이 사용자-평가 행렬은 목적 사용자와 유사하게 아이템을 평가한 사용자 그룹을 찾기 위한 것으로, 목적 사용자가 아직 평가하지 않은 아이템에 대하여 사용자-평가 매트릭스를 통해 그 평가 값을 예측한다. 현재 이 협업적 여과 방법은 전자상거래와 정보 검색에서 적용되어 개인화 시스템에 효율적으로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 초기 사용자 문제, 데이터 희박성 문제와 확장성 그리고 예측 정확도 향상 등 해결해야 할 과제가 여전히 남아 있다. 이러한 문제들을 해소하기 위해 많은 연구자들은 하이브리드, 신뢰기반, 소셜 네트워크 기반 협업적 여과와 같은 다양한 방법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 전통적인 협업적 여과 방식의 예측 정확도와 추천 성능을 향상시키기 위해 소셜 네트워크에 존재하는 소셜 관계를 이용한 협업적 여과 시스템을 제안한다. 소셜 관계는 소셜 네트워크 서비스 중 하나인 페이스북 사용자들이 남긴 포스팅과 사용자의 소셜 네트워크 친구와 의견 교류 중 남긴 코멘트와 같은 사용자 행동을 기반으로 정의된다. 소셜 관계를 구축하기 위해 소셜 네트워크 사용자의 포스팅과 댓글을 추출하고, 추출된 텍스트에 불용어 및 특수 기호 제거와 스테밍 등 전처리를 수행하였다. 특징 벡터는 TF-IDF를 이용하여 전처리된 텍스트에 나타난 각 단어에 대한 특징 점수를 계산함으로써 구축된다. 본 논문에서 이웃 사용자를 결정하기 위해 사용되는 사용자 간 유사도는 특징 벡터를 이용한 사용자 행동 유사도와 사용자의 영화 평가를 기반으로 한 전통적 방법의 유사도를 결합하여 계산된다. 제안하는 시스템은 목표 사용자와 제안한 방법을 통해 결정된 이웃 사용자 집단을 기반으로 목표 사용자가 평가하지 않은 아이템에 대한 선호도를 예측하고 Top-N 아이템을 선별하여 사용자에게 아이템을 추천하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 확인하고 평가하기 위하여 IMDB에서 제공하는 영화 정보 기반으로 영화 평가 시스템을 구축하였다. 예측 정확도를 평가하기 위해 MAE 값을 이용하여 제안하는 알고리즘이 얼마나 정확한 추천을 수행하는지에 대한 예측 정확도를 측정하였다. 그리고 정확도, 재현율 및 F1값 등을 활용하여 시스템의 성능을 평가하였으며, 시스템의 추천 품질은 커버리지를 이용하여 평가되었다. 실험 결과로부터 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템이 보다 더 정확하고 좋은 성능으로 사용자에게 아이템을 추천하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 특히 소셜 네트워크에서 사용자 행동을 기반으로 한 소셜 관계를 이용함으로써 추천 정확도를 6% 향상시킴을 보였다. 또한 벤치마크 알고리즘과의 성능비교 실험을 통해 7% 향상된 추천 성능의 결과를 보여준다. 그러므로 사용자의 행동으로부터 관찰된 소셜 관계를 CF방법과 결합한 제안한 방법이 정확한 추천시스템을 위해 유용하며, 추천시스템의 성능과 품질을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

소셜 미디어는 모바일 어플리케이션과 웹에서 가장 많이 사용되는 미디어 중 하나이다. Nielsen사의 보고서에 따르면 소셜 네트워크 서비스와 블로그가 온라인 사용자의 주 활동 공간으로 사용되고 있으며, 미국인 중에서 온라인 활동이 왕성한 5명의 사용자중 4명은 매일 소셜 네트워크 서비스와 블로그를 방문하고 온라인 활동 시간의 23%를 소비한다고 집계하고 있다. 미국의 인터넷 사용자들은 야후, 구글, AOL 미디어 네트워크, 트위터, 링크드인 등과 같은 소셜 네트워크 서비스중 페이스북에서 가장 많은 시간을 소비한다. 최근에는 대부분의 회사들이 자신의 특정 상품에 대하여 "페이스북 페이지(Facebook Page)"를 생성하고 상품에 대한 프로모션을 진행한다. 페이스북에서 제공되는 "좋아요" 옵션은 페이스북 페이지를 통해 자신이 관심을 가지는 상품(아이템)을 표시하고 그 상품을 지지할 수 있도록 한다. 많은 영화를 제작하는 영화 제작사들도 페이스북 페이지와 "좋아요" 옵션을 이용하여 영화 프로모션과 마케팅에 이용한다. 일반적으로 다수의 스트리밍 서비스 제공업들도 영화와 TV 프로그램을 즐기며 볼 수 있는 서비스를 사용자들에게 제공한다. 이 서비스는 일반 컴퓨터와 TV 등의 단말기에서인터넷을 통해 영화와 TV 프로그램을 즉각적으로 제공할 수 있다. 스트리밍 서비스의 선두 주자인 넷플릭스는 미국, 라틴 아메리카, 영국 그리고 북유럽 국가 등에 3천만 명 이상의 스트리밍 사용자가 가입되어 있다. 또한 넥플릭스는 다양한 장르로 구성된 수백만 개의 영화와 TV 프로그램을 보유하고 있다. 하지만 수많은 콘텐츠로 인해 사용자들은 자신이 선호하는 장르에 관련된 영화와 TV 프로그램을 찾기 위해 많은 시간을 소비해야 된다. 많은 연구자들이 이러한 사용자의 불편함을 줄이기 위해 아이템에 대한 사용자가 보지 않은 아이템에 대한 선호도를 예측하고 높은 예측값을 갖는 아이템을 사용자에게 제공하기 위한 추천 시스템을 적용하였다. 협업적 여과 방법은 추천 시스템을 구축하기 위해 가장 많이 사용되는 방법이다. 협업적 여과 시스템은 사용자들이 평가한 아이템을 기반으로 각 사용자 간의 유사도를 측정하고 목적 사용자와 유사한 성향을 가진 사용자 그룹을 결정한다. 군집된 그룹은 이웃 사용자 집단으로 불리며 이를 이용하여 특정 아이템에 대한 선호도를 예측하고, 예측 값이 높은 아이템을 목적 사용자에게 추천해 준다. 협업적 여과 방법이 적용되는 분야는 서적, 음악, 영화, 뉴스 및 비디오 등 다양하지만 논문에서는 영화에 초점을 맞춘다. 이 협업적 여과 방법이 추천 시스템 내에서 유용하게 활용되고 있지만 아직 "희박성 문제"와 "콜드 스타트 문제" 등 해결해야 할 과제가 남아있다. 희박성 문제는 아이템의 수가 증가할수록 아이템에 대한 사용자의 로그 밀도가 감소하는 것이다. 즉, 전체 아이템 수에 비해 사용자가 아이템에 대해 평가한 정보가 충분하지 않기 때문에 사용자의 성향을 파악하기 어렵고, 이로 인해 사용자가 아직 평가하지 않은 아이템에 대해서 선호도를 추측하기 어려운 것을 말한다. 이 희박성 문제가 포함된 경우 적합한 이웃 사용자 집단을 형성하는데 어려움을 겪게 되고 사용자들에게 제공되는 아이템 추천의 질이 떨어지게 된다. 콜드 스타트 문제는 시스템 내에 새로 들어온 사용자 또는 아이템으로 지금까지 한 번도 평가를 하지 않은 경우에 발생한다. 즉, 사용자가 평가한 아이템에 대한 정보가 전혀 포함되어 있지 않거나 매우 적기 때문에 이러한 경우 또한 적합한 이웃 사용자 집단을 형성하는데 어려움을 겪게 되고 사용자가 평가하지 않은 아이템에 대한 선호도 예측의 정확성이 감소되게 된다. 본 논문에서는 영화 추천 시스템에서 발생될 수 있는 초기 사용자 문제를 해결하기 위하여 사용자가 평가한 영화와 소셜 네트워크 서비스로부터 추출된 사용자 선호 장르를 활용하여 사용자 군집을 형성하고 이를 활용하는 방법을 제안한다. 소셜 네트워크 서비스로부터 사용자가 선호하는 영화 장르를 추출하기 위해 페이스북 페이지의 '좋아요' 옵션을 이용하며, 이 '좋아요' 정보를 분석하여 사용자의 영화 장르 관심사를 추출한다. 페이스북의 영화 페이지는 각 영화를 위한 페이스북 페이지로 구성되고 있으며, 사용자는 자신의 선호도에 따라서 "좋아요" 옵션을 선택할 수 있다. 사용자의 페이스북 정보는 페이스북 그래프 API를 활용하여 추출되고 이로부터 사용자 선호 영화를 알 수 있게 된다. 시스템에서 활용되는 영화 정보는 인터넷 영화 데이터베이스인 IMDb로부터 획득한다. IMDb는 수많은 영화와 TV 프로그램을 보유하고 있으며, 각 영화에 관련된 배우 정보, 장르 및 부가 정보들을 포함한다. 논문에서는 사용자가 "좋아요" 표시를 한 영화 페이지를 이용하여 IMDb로부터 영화 장르 정보를 가져온다. 그리고 추출된 영화 장르 선호도와 본 시스템에서 제안하는 영화 평가 항목을 이용하여 유사한 이웃 사용자 집단을 구성한 후, 사용자가 평가하지 않은 아이템에 대한 선호도를 예측하고, 높은 예측 값을 갖는 아이템을 사용자에게 추천한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 사용자의 선호 장르 기반의 사용자 군집 기법을 이용한 시스템을 평가하기 위해서 IMDb 데이터 집합을 이용하여 사용자 영화 평가 시스템을 구축하였고 참가자들의 영화 평가 정보를 획득하였다. 페이스북 영화 페이지 정보는 참가자들의 페이스북 계정과 페이스북 그래프 API를 통해 획득하였다. 사용자 영화 평가 시스템을 통해 획득된 사용자 데이터를 제안하는 방법에 적용하였고 추천 성능, 품질 및 초기 사용자 문제를 벤치마크 알고리즘과 비교하여 평가하였다. 실험 평가의 결과 제안하는 방법을 적용한 추천 시스템을 통해 추천의 품질을 10% 향상시킬 수 있었고, 초기 사용자 문제에 대해서 15% 완화시킬 수 있음을 볼 수 있었다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N.

And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology.

The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs.

Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
