Recently, e-learning has been attracting significant attention due to COVID-19. However, while e-learning has many advantages, it has disadvantages as well. One of the main disadvantages of e-learning is that it is difficult for teachers to continuously and systematically monitor learners. Although services such as personalized e-learning are provided to compensate for the shortcoming, systematic monitoring of learners' concentration is insufficient. This study suggests a method to evaluate the learner's concentration by applying machine learning techniques. In this study, emotion and gaze data were extracted from 184 videos of 92 participants. First, the learners' concentration was labeled by experts. Then, statistical-based status indicators were preprocessed from the data. Random Forests (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and an ensemble model have been used in the experiment. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) has also been used for comparison. As a result, it was possible to predict e-learners' concentration with an accuracy of 90.54%. This study is expected to improve learners' immersion by providing a customized educational curriculum according to the learner's concentration level.

In this paper, we propose a system model that predicts the original signal transmitted from the transmitter using the received signal in the power line communication system based on the multi - layer perceptron which is one of the machine learning algorithms. Power line communication system using communication system using power network has more noise than communication system using general communication line. It causes a problem that the performance of the power line communication system is degraded. In order to solve this problem, the communication system model proposed in this paper minimizes the influence of noise through original signal prediction and mitigates the performance degradation of the power line communication system. In this paper, we prove that the original signal is predicted by applying the proposed communication system model to the white noise environment.

The CAT methodology is a numerical analysis technique using CAE. Recently, a methodology of applying artificial intelligence techniques to a simulation has been studied. A previous study compared the deformation results according to the injection molding process using a machine learning technique. Although MLP has excellent prediction performance, it lacks an explanation of the decision process and is like a black box. In this study, data was generated using Autodesk Moldflow 2018, an injection molding analysis software. Several Machine Learning Algorithms models were developed using RapidMiner version 9.5, a machine learning platform software, and the root mean square error was compared. The decision-tree showed better prediction performance than other machine learning techniques with the RMSE values. The classification criterion can be increased according to the Maximal Depth that determines the size of the Decision-tree, but the complexity also increases. The simulation showed that by selecting an intermediate value that satisfies the constraint based on the changed position, there was 7.7% improvement compared to the previous simulation.

Intelligent tutoring system enables users to effectively learn by utilizing various artificial intelligence techniques. For instance, it can recommend a proper curriculum or learning method to individual users based on their learning history. To do this effectively, user's characteristics need to be analyzed and classified based on various aspects such as interest, learning ability, and personality. Even though data labeled by the characteristics are required for more accurate classification, it is not easy to acquire enough amount of labeled data due to the labeling cost. On the other hand, unlabeled data should not need labeling process to make a large number of unlabeled data be collected and utilized. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised learning method based on feedback variational auto-encoder(FVAE), which uses both labeled data and unlabeled data. FVAE is a variation of variational auto-encoder(VAE), where a multi-layer perceptron is added for giving feedback. Using unlabeled data, we train FVAE and fetch the encoder of FVAE. And then, we extract features from labeled data by using the encoder and train classifiers with the extracted features. In the experiments, we proved that FVAE-based semi-supervised learning was superior to VAE-based method in terms with accuracy and F1 score.

A neural network of multi layer perception type, learned by error back propagation learning rule, is generally used for the verification or clustering of similar type of patterns. When learning is completed, the network has a constant value of output depending on a pattern. This paper shows that the intensity of neuron's out put can be controlled by a function which intensifies the excitatory interconnection coefficients or the inhibitory one between neurons in output layer and those in hidden layer. In this paper the value of factor in the function to control the output is derived from the know values of the neural network after learning is completed And also this paper show that the amount of an increased neuron's output in output layer by arbitary value of the factor is derived. For the applications increased recognition performance of a pattern than has distortion is introduced and the output of partially damaged neurons are first managed and this paper shows that the reduced recognition performance can be recovered.

In this paper, a new learning methodology for Kernel Methods is suggested that results in a sparse representation of kernel space from the training patterns for classification problems. Among the traditional algorithms of linear discriminant function(perceptron, relaxation, LMS(least mean squared), pseudoinverse), this paper shows that the relaxation procedure can obtain the maximum margin separating hyperplane of linearly separable pattern classification problem as SVM(Support Vector Machine) classifier does. The original relaxation method gives only the necessary condition of SV patterns. We suggest the sufficient condition to identify the SV patterns in the learning epochs. Experiment results show the new methods have the higher or equivalent performance compared to the conventional approach.

A new method to control a robot manipulator by neural networks is proposed. The controller is composed of both a PD controller and a neural network-based feedforward controller. MLP(multi-layer perceptron) neural network is used for the feedforward controller and trained by BP(back-propagation) learning rule. Error terms for BP learning rule are composed of the outputs of a PD controller and the acceleration errors of manipulator joints. We compare the proposed method with existing ones and contrast performances of them by simulation. Also, We discuss the real application of the proposed method in consideration of the learning time of the neural network and the time required for sensing the joint acceleration.

강화학습의 한가지 방법인 Q-learning은 최근에 Linear Quadratic Regulation(이하 LQR) 문제에 성공적으로 적용된 바 있다. 특히, 시스템 모델의 파라미터에 대한 구체적인 정보없이 적절한 입ㆍ출력만으로 학습을 통해 문제의 해결이 가능하므로 상황에 따라 매우 실용적인 방법이 될 수 있다. 뉴럴-큐 기법은 이러한 Q-learning의 Q-value를 MLP(multilayer perceptron) 신경망의 출력으로 대치시켜, 비선형 시스템의 최적제어 문제를 다룰 수 있게 한 방법이다. 그러나, 뉴럴-큐 기법은 신경망의 구조를 먼저 결정한 후 역전파 알고리즘을 이용해 학습하는 절차를 행하므로, 시행착오를 통해 신경망 구조를 결정해야 한다는 점, 역전파 알고리즘의 적용에 따라 신경망의 연결강도 값들이 지역적 최적해로 수렴한다는 점등의 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 뉴럴-큐 학습의 도구로 KFD회귀를 이용하여 Q 함수의 근사 기법을 제안하고 관련 수식을 유도하였다. 그리고, 모의 실험을 통하여, 제안된 뉴럴-큐 방법의 적용 가능성을 알아보았다.

This paper described the development of input driven multilayer perceptron(IDMLP) neural network and it's application to the Korean spoken digit recognition. The IDMPLP neural network used here and the learning algorithm for this network was proposed newly. In this model, weight value is integer and transfer function in the neuron is hard limit function. According to the result of the network learning for the some kinds of input data, the number of network layers is one or more by the difficulties of classifying the inputs. We tested the recognition of binaried data for the spoken digit 0 to 9 by means of the proposed network. The experimental results are 100% and 96% for the learning data and test data, respectively.

It is not yet possible to solve the optimal number of neurons in hidden layer at neural networks. However, it has been proposed and proved by experiments that there is a limit in increasing the number of neuron in hidden layer, because too much incrememt will cause instability,local minima and large error. This paper proposes a module neural controller with pattern recognition ability to solve the above trade-off problems and to obtain fast learning convergence speed. The proposed neural controller is composed of several module having Multi-layer Perrceptron(MLP). Each module have the less neurons in hidden layer, because it learns only input patterns having a similar learning directions. Experiments with six joint robot manipulator have shown the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed the parallel module neural controller with pattern recognition perceptron.
