In recent years, geotextile-encased gravel columns (usually called stone columns) have become a popular method to increasing soil shear strength, decreasing the settlement, acceleration of the rate of consolidation, reducing the liquefaction potential and increasing the bearing capacity of foundations. The behavior of improved loose base-soil with gravel columns under shear loading and the shear stress-horizontal displacement curves got from large scale direct shear test are of great importance in understanding the performance of this method. In the present study, by performing 36 large-scale direct shear tests on sandy base-soil with different fine-content of zero to 30% in both not improved and improved with gravel columns, the effect of the presence of gravel columns in the loose soils were investigated. The results were used to predict the shear stress-horizontal displacement curve of these samples using support vector machines (SVM). Variables such as the non-plastic fine content of base-soil (FC), the area replacement ratio of the gravel column (Arr), the geotextile encasement and the normal stress on the sample were effective factors in the shear stress-horizontal displacement curve of the samples. The training and testing data of the model showed higher power of SVM compared to multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network in predicting shear stress-horizontal displacement curve. After ensuring the accuracy of the model evaluation, by introducing different samples to the model, the effect of different variables on the maximum shear stress of the samples was investigated. The results showed that by adding a gravel column and increasing the Arr, the friction angle (ϕ) and cohesion (c) of the samples increase. This increase is less in base-soil with more FC, and in a proportion of the same Arr, with increasing FC, internal friction angle and cohesion decreases.

In this paper, we propose a table tennis posture classification system using a cooperative robot to develop a table tennis robot that can be trained like a real game. The most ideal table tennis robot would be a robot with a high joint driving speed and a high degree of freedom. Therefore, in this paper, we intend to use a cooperative robot with sufficient degrees of freedom to develop a robot that can be trained like a real game. However, cooperative robots have the disadvantage of slow joint driving speed. These shortcomings are expected to be overcome through quick recognition. Therefore, in this paper, we try to quickly classify the opponent's posture to overcome the slow joint driving speed. To this end, learning about dynamic postures was conducted using image data as input, and finally, three classification models were created and comparative experiments and evaluations were performed on the designated dynamic postures. In conclusion, comparative experimental data demonstrate the highest classification accuracy and fastest classification speed in classification models using MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron), and thus demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Although the biosignal is the best way to represent the human condition, it is difficult to acquire the biosignal of a driver driving for detecting driver's condition. As one of the methods to overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a driving stress monitoring system based on information provided by OBD-II(on-board diagnostics version II). The driving information and EDA(Electrodermal activity) data are obtained through the OBD-II scanner and E4 wristband, respectively. EDA data is used as ground truth to distinguish whether driver is stressed or not. MLP(multi-layer perceptron) neural network is used as a model to detect driving stress and is trained using driving data for about a month. To evaluate the proposed system, we used about 1 hour of driving data and the accuracy is 92%.

The images acquired from the speaker's mouth region revealed the unique patterns according to the corresponding voices. By using this principle, the several methods were proposed in which speech signals were recognized or synthesized from the images acquired at the speaker's lower face. In this study, an image-based speech synthesis method was proposed in which the depth images were cooperatively used. Since depth images yielded depth information that cannot be acquired from optical image, it can be used for the purpose of supplementing flat optical images. In this paper, the usefulness of depth images from the perspective of speech synthesis was evaluated. The validation experiment was carried out on 60 Korean isolated words, it was confirmed that the performance in terms of both subjective and objective evaluation was comparable to the optical image-based method. When the two images were used in combination, performance improvements were observed compared with when each image was used alone.

Conventional path-finding has focused on finding short collision-free paths. However, as computer games become more sophisticated, it is required to take tactical information like ambush points or lines of enemy sight into account. One way to make this information have an effect on path-finding is to represent a heuristic function of a search algorithm as a weighted sum of tactics. In this paper we consider the problem of learning heuristic to optimize path-finding based on given tactical information. What is meant by learning is to produce a good weight vector for a heuristic function. Training examples for learning are given by a game level-designer and will be compared with search results in every search level to update weights. This paper proposes a learning algorithm integrated with search for tactical path-finding. The perceptron-like method for updating weights is described and a simulation tool for implementing these is presented. A level-designer can mark desired paths according to characters' properties in the heuristic learning tool and then it uses them as training examples to learn weights and shows traces of paths changing along with weight learning.

Bulk trailers, used for the transportation of powdered materials, such as cement and fly ash, are crucial in the construction industry. The speedy exhaustion of powdered materials stored in the tank of bulk trailers is relevant to improving transportation efficiency and reducing transportation costs. The exhaust time can be reduced by developing an automatic control system to replace the manual exhaust operation. The instantaneous or accumulated exhausts of powdered materials must be measured for automatic control of the bulk trailer exhaust system. Accordingly, we previously proposed a recurrent neural network (RNN) model that estimated the instantaneous exhaust based on low-cost pressure sensor signals without an expensive flowmeter for powders. Although our previous study utilized only an RNN model, models such as multilayer perceptron (MLP) and convolutional neural network (CNN) are also widely utilized for time-series estimation. This study compares the performance of three neural network models (MLP, CNN, and RNN) in estimating instantaneous and accumulated exhausts. In terms of the instantaneous exhaust estimation, the difference in the performance of neural network models was insignificant (that is, 8.64, 8.62, and 8.56% for the MLP, CNN, and RNN, respectively, in terms of the normalized root mean squared error). However, in the case of the accumulated exhaust, the performance was excellent in the order of CNN (1.67%), MLP (2.03%), and RNN (2.20%).

As Internet technology develops, SNS users are increasing. As SNS becomes popular, SNS-type crimes using the influence and anonymity of social networks are increasing day by day. In this paper, we propose a fake account classification method that applies machine learning and deep learning to statistical and image data for fake accounts classification. SNS account data used for training was collected by itself, and the collected data is based on statistical data and image data. In the case of statistical data, machine learning and multi-layer perceptron were employed to train. Furthermore in the case of image data, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was utilized. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the overall performance of account classification was significantly meaningful.

K-water에서는 다목적댐의 관리를 위해 실시간으로 댐수위, 하천 수위 및 강우량 등을 계측하고 있으며, 계측된 값들은 댐을 효과적으로 운영하는데 필요한 데이터로 활용되고 있다. 특히 댐수위 이상 데이터를 탐지하지 못한 채 그대로 사용할 경우 댐의 방류 시기와 방류량 등을 결정하는 중요한 의사결정을 그르칠 수 있으므로 이를 신속히 탐지하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 현재의 자동화된 이상 데이터 탐지방법 중 하나는 현재 데이터가 최댓값과 최솟값을 초과할 때, 다른 하나는 현재 데이터와 일정 시간 동안의 평균값 간의 차이가 관리자가 정한 특정 값을 벗어났을 때를 기준으로 삼고 있다. 전자는 상한과 하한의 초과 여부만 판단하므로 탐지가 쉬우나 정상범위 내에서 발생한 이상 데이터는 탐지가 불가하다. 후자는 관리자의 경험을 통해 판단 조건을 정하기 때문에 객관성이 결여되는 문제가 있다. 특히 방류와 강우가 복합적으로 댐수위에 영향을 미치는 홍수기에 관리자의 경험에 기초한 이상 데이터 판별은 신뢰성의 문제가 있을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기계학습을 최초로 적용하여 이상 데이터를 탐지하고자 하였다. 댐수위, 누적강우량 및 누적방류량 데이터와 댐수위데이터를 가공하여 생성한 댐수위차, 댐수위차평균, 댐수위평균 등 자질들의 다양한 조합을 만든 후 이를 Random Forest, SVM, AdaptiveBoost 및 다층퍼셉트론(MLP) 등과 같은 여러 가지 기계학습모델 등을 통해 이상 데이터를 판별하는 실험(분류)을 하였다. 실험결과 댐수위, 댐수위차, 댐수위-댐수위평균, 누적강우량, 누적방류량 및 댐수위차평균을 사용하였을 때 MLP에서 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이 연구를 통해서 댐수위 이상 데이터를 기계학습의 분류기능을 통해 효과적으로 탐지할 수 있다는 것과 모델의 성능은 실험에 사용한 자질의 수뿐 아니라 자질의 종류에도 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The ensemble is a unified approach used for getting better performance by using multiple algorithms in machine learning. In this paper, we introduce boosting and bagging, which have been widely used in ensemble techniques, and design a method using support vector regression, radial basis function network, Gaussian process, and multilayer perceptron. In addition, our experiment was performed by adding a recurrent neural network and MOHID numerical model. The drifter data used for our experimental verification consist of 683 observations in seven regions. The performance of our ensemble technique is verified by comparison with four algorithms each. As verification, mean absolute error was adapted. The presented methods are based on ensemble models using bagging, boosting, and machine learning. The error rate was calculated by assigning the equal weight value and different weight value to each unit model in ensemble. The ensemble model using machine learning showed 61.7% improvement compared to the average of four machine learning technique.

효율적인 물관리를 위한 댐 유입량 대한 연구는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 머신러닝 알고리즘을 통해 40년동안의 기상 및 댐 유입량 데이터를 이용하여 소양강댐 유입량을 예측하였으며, 그 중 고유량과 저유량예측에 적합한 알고리즘을 각각 선정하여 머신러닝 알고리즘을 결합한 CombML을 개발하였다. 의사 결정 트리 (DT), 멀티 레이어 퍼셉트론 (MLP), 랜덤 포레스트(RF), 그래디언트 부스팅 (GB), RNN-LSTM 및 CNN-LSTM 알고리즘이 사용되었으며, 그 중 가장 정확도가 높은 모형과 고유량이 아닌 경우에서 특별히 예측 정확도가 높은 모형을 결합하여 결합 머신러닝 알고리즘 (CombML)을 개발 및 평가하였다. 사용된 알고리즘 중 MLP가 NSE 0.812, RMSE 77.218 m3/s, MAE 29.034 m3/s, R 0.924, R2 0.817로 댐 유입량 예측에서 최상의 결과를 보여주었으며, 댐 유입량이 100 m3/s 이하인 경우 앙상블 모델 (RF, GB) 이 댐 유입 예측에서 MLP보다 더 나은 성능을 보였다. 따라서, 유입량이 100 m3/s 이상 시의 평균 일일 강수량인 16 mm를 기준으로 강수가 16mm 이하인 경우 앙상블 방법 (RF 및 GB)을 사용하고 강수가 16 mm 이상인 경우 MLP를 사용하여 댐 유입을 예측하기 위해 두 가지 복합 머신러닝(CombML) 모델 (RF_MLP 및 GB_MLP)을 개발하였다. 그 결과 RF_MLP에서 NSE 0.857, RMSE 68.417 m3/s, MAE 18.063 m3/s, R 0.927, R2 0.859, GB_MLP의 경우 NSE 0.829, RMSE 73.918 m3/s, MAE 18.093 m3/s, R 0.912, R2 0.831로 CombML이 댐 유입을 가장 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구를 통해 하천 유황을 고려한 여러 머신러닝 알고리즘의 결합을 통한 유입량 예측 결과, 알고리즘 결합 시 예측 모형의 정확도가 개선되는 것이 확인되었으며, 이는 추후 효율적인 물관리에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
