Although conventional text-based passwords are used as the most common authentication method, they have significant drawbacks such as guess attacks, dictionary attacks, key loggers, and shoulder-surfing. To address the vulnerabilities of traditional text-based passwords, graphical password schemes have been developed as possible alternative solutions, but they have a potential drawback that they are more vulnerable to shoulder-surfing than conventional text-based passwords. In this paper, we present a new Hangul password input method to prevent shoulder-surfing attacks. Our approach uses Hangul as a password, and it requires the users to locate their password in the given wheeling password grid instead of entering the password. Our approach makes it difficult for attackers to observe a user's password since the system shows the users' passwords with decoy characters as the noise on the screen. Also, we provide security analysis for random attacks, dictionary attacks, and shoulder-surfing attacks, and it shows that our password system is robust against these attacks.

In this paper, we propose a method for detecting the number of clusters. This method can improve the performance of a gaussian mixture model function in conventional markov random field method by using the tensor voting. The key point of the proposed method is that extracts the number of the center through the continuity of saliency map of the input data of the tensor voting token. At first, we separate the foreground and background region candidate in a given natural images. After that, we extract the appropriate cluster number for each separate candidate regions by applying the tensor voting. We can make accurate modeling a gaussian mixture model by using a detected number of cluster. We can return the result of natural binary text image by calculating the unary term and the pairwise term of markov random field. After the experiment, we can confirm that the proposed method returns the optimal cluster number and text binarization results are improved.

In this paper, we propose a three-level color clustering algerian for the binarization of text regions extracted from natural scene images. The proposed algorithm consists of three phases of color segmentation. First, the ordinary images in which the texts are well separated from the background, are binarized. Then, in the second phase, the input image is passed through a high pass filter to deal with those affected by natural or artificial light. Finally, the image Is passed through a low pass filter to deal with the texture in texts and/or background. We have shown that the proposed algorithm is more effective used gray-information binarization algorithm. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm we use a commercial OCR software ARMI 6.0 to observe the recognition accuracies on the binarized images. The experimental results on word and character recognition show that the proposed approach is more accurate than conventional methods by over $35\%$.

Visually impaired people have very difficulty using retail stores due to the absence of braille information on products and any other support system. In this paper, we propose a basic algorithm for a system that recognizes products in retail stores and explains them as a voice. First, the deep learning model detects hand objects and product objects in the input image. Then, it finds a product object that most overlapping hand object by comparing the coordinate information of each detected object. We determine that this is a product selected by the user, and the system read the nutritional information of the product as Text-To-Speech. As a result of the evaluation, we confirmed a high performance of the learning model. The proposed algorithm can be actively used to build a system that supports the use of retail stores for the visually impaired.

The Question Similarity Measurement of Chinese Crop Diseases and Insect Pests (QSM-CCD&IP) aims to judge the user's tendency to ask questions regarding input problems. The measurement is the basis of the Agricultural Knowledge Question and Answering (Q & A) system, information retrieval, and other tasks. However, the corpus and measurement methods available in this field have some deficiencies. In addition, error propagation may occur when the word boundary features and local context information are ignored when the general method embeds sentences. Hence, these factors make the task challenging. To solve the above problems and tackle the Question Similarity Measurement task in this work, a corpus on Chinese crop diseases and insect pests(CCDIP), which contains 13 categories, was established. Then, taking the CCDIP as the research object, this study proposes a Chinese agricultural text similarity matching model, namely, the AgrCQS. This model is based on mixed information extraction. Specifically, the hybrid embedding layer can enrich character information and improve the recognition ability of the model on the word boundary. The multi-scale local information can be extracted by multi-core convolutional neural network based on multi-weight (MM-CNN). The self-attention mechanism can enhance the fusion ability of the model on global information. In this research, the performance of the AgrCQS on the CCDIP is verified, and three benchmark datasets, namely, AFQMC, LCQMC, and BQ, are used. The accuracy rates are 93.92%, 74.42%, 86.35%, and 83.05%, respectively, which are higher than that of baseline systems without using any external knowledge. Additionally, the proposed method module can be extracted separately and applied to other models, thus providing reference for related research.

Recently, generative models based on the Transformer architecture, such as ChatGPT, have been gaining significant attention. The Transformer architecture has been applied to various neural network models, including Google's BERT(Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) sentence generation model. In this paper, a method is proposed to create a text binary classification model for determining whether a comment on Korean movie review is positive or negative. To accomplish this, a pre-trained multilingual BERT sentence generation model is fine-tuned and transfer learned using a new Korean training dataset. To achieve this, a pre-trained BERT-Base model for multilingual sentence generation with 104 languages, 12 layers, 768 hidden, 12 attention heads, and 110M parameters is used. To change the pre-trained BERT-Base model into a text classification model, the input and output layers were fine-tuned, resulting in the creation of a new model with 178 million parameters. Using the fine-tuned model, with a maximum word count of 128, a batch size of 16, and 5 epochs, transfer learning is conducted with 10,000 training data and 5,000 testing data. A text sentiment binary classification model for Korean movie review with an accuracy of 0.9582, a loss of 0.1177, and an F1 score of 0.81 has been created. As a result of performing transfer learning with a dataset five times larger, a model with an accuracy of 0.9562, a loss of 0.1202, and an F1 score of 0.86 has been generated.

This paper proposes a hybrid machine translation system which integrates SMT, RBMT, and PBMT in serial manner. SMT in our project has been implemented as a Quasi-syntax-based system where monotone search is done, given a preprocessed string of foreign language. Preprocessing includes rule-based reordering, NE recognition, clausal splitting, and attaching pattern translation information at the end of the input text. For lengthy & complex sentences, clausal splitting turned out to generate better translation than normal input.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the aspects of task-based materials in high school English textbooks for first year students in Korea. Based on the theoretical backgrounds for designing communicative tasks and the basic contents of the 7th national curriculum for English, a total of six different qualitative evaluation categories of task-based materials are constructed. The six categories include input data, settings, activity types, language skills, activity themes, and communicative functions. The results of the data analysis showed that the regulations of the 7th national English curriculum, which were aimed at improving the students' communicative abilities, were properly reflected in the materials of task-based activities of all textbooks. On the other hand, a few problems were found in some textbooks: too many individual tasks; being out of proportion in presenting task types and themes; non-systematic introduction of language skills, etc. To conclude, a few suggestions are made to provide some meaningful considerations for the text material developers in order to produce better textbooks in the future: task goals and rationale that encourage the learner's positive motivation; authenticity of input data based on the real-world context; a collaborative learning environment that enhances communicative interaction; a proportional representation of the various activity types including creative problem-solving procedures; systematic introduction of integrated language skills, etc.
