This paper proposes an algorithm for efficient compression gray-level images by entropy encoder. The issue of the proposed method is to replace original data of gray-level images with particular ranked data. For this, first, before encoding a stream of gray-level values in an image, the proposed method counts co-occurrence frequencies for neighboring pixel values. Then, it replaces each pay value with particularly ranked numbers based on the investigated co-occurrence frequencies. Finally, the ranked numbers are transmitted to an entropy encoder. The proposed method improves the performance of existing entropy coding by transforming original gray-level values into rank based images using statistical co-occurrence frequencies of gray-level images. The simulation results, using gray-level images with 8-bits, show that the proposed method can reduce bit rate by up to 37.85% compared to existing conventional entropy coders.

Background: As personalized healthcare industry has attracted much attention, big data analysis of healthcare data is essential. Lots of healthcare data such as product labeling, biomedical literature and social media data are unstructured, extracting meaningful information from the unstructured text data are becoming important. In particular, text mining for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reports is able to provide signal information to predict and detect adverse drug reactions. There has been no study on text analysis of expert opinion on Korea Adverse Event Reporting System (KAERS) databases in Korea. Methods: Expert opinion text of KAERS database provided by Korea Institute of Drug Safety & Risk Management (KIDS-KD) are analyzed. To understand the whole text, word frequency analysis are performed, and to look for important keywords from the text TF-IDF weight analysis are performed. Also, related keywords with the important keywords are presented by calculating correlation coefficient. Results: Among total 90,522 reports, 120 insulin ADR report and 858 tramadol ADR report were analyzed. The ADRs such as dizziness, headache, vomiting, dyspepsia, and shock were ranked in order in the insulin data, while the ADR symptoms such as vomiting, 어지러움, dizziness, dyspepsia and constipation were ranked in order in the tramadol data as the most frequently used keywords. Conclusion: Using text mining of the expert opinion in KIDS-KD, frequently mentioned ADRs and medications are easily recovered. Text mining in ADRs research is able to play an important role in detecting signal information and prediction of ADRs.

This paper proposes a collective approach to cited text recognition by exploiting a set of citing text from different articles citing the same article. First, the proposed method gathers highly-ranked cited sentences from the cited article using a group of citing text to create a collective information of probable cited sentences. Then, such collective information is used to determine final cited sentences among highly-ranked sentences from similarity-based cited text recognition. Experiments have been conducted on the data set which consists of research articles from a computational linguistics domain. Evaluation results showed that the proposed method could improve the performance of similarity-based baseline approaches.

The purpose of this thesis is to suggest basic objective data for landscape planning and design through the quantitative analysis of the visual impact of pavilion situated in natural landscapes. For this, naturality and visual preference scores of landscape s1ides were measured by questionnaires, visual volumes of pavilion in the natural landscape were evaluated using the Mesh analysis and images structure was analyzed by the factor analysis algorithm The results of this thesis can be summarized as follow. Landscape slides No. 27 and 9 were ranked more highly for naturality, and slides No.22, 28, 6 and 4 were ranked more highly for visual preference. Factors covering the spatial image of the natural landscape were found to be the evaluation, the tidiness and the space volume. By using the control method for the number of factors, T. V., were obtained as 59.0%. For all experimental landscape slides, the factors of evaluation and tidiness were found to be the main factors determining the naturality and visual preference. The naturality and actor scores and the visual preference and factor scores were found to exepress the regression relation.
