Mobile edge computing (MEC) plays a crucial role in improving the performance of resource-constrained mobile devices by offloading computation-intensive tasks to nearby edge servers. However, existing methods often neglect the critical consideration of future task requirements when making offloading decisions. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach that addresses this limitation. Our method leverages recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to predict task sizes for future time slots. Incorporating this predictive capability enables more informed offloading decisions that account for upcoming computational demands. We employ genetic algorithms (GAs) to fine-tune fitness functions for current and future time slots to optimize offloading decisions. Our objective is twofold: minimizing total processing time and reducing energy consumption. By considering future task requirements, our approach achieves more efficient resource utilization. We validate our method using a real-world dataset from Google-cluster. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms baseline methods, highlighting its effectiveness in MEC systems.

Reliable and fine-grained musical metadata are required for efficient search of rapidly increasing music files. In particular, since the primary motive for listening to music is its emotional effect, diversion, and the memories it awakens, emotion classification along with genre classification of music is crucial. In this paper, as an initial approach towards a "ground-truth" dataset for music emotion and genre classification, we elaborately generated a music corpus through labeling of a large number of ordinary people. In order to verify the suitability of the dataset through the classification results, we extracted features according to MPEG-7 audio standard and applied different machine learning models based on statistics and deep neural network to automatically classify the dataset. By using standard hyperparameter setting, we reached an accuracy of 93% for genre classification and 80% for emotion classification, and believe that our dataset can be used as a meaningful comparative dataset in this research field.

As YouTube is rapidly growing as an information platform, we investigated practical impacts of YouTube knowledge content and creator characteristics on viewer satisfaction and purchase intention. In so doing, an empirical survey was conducted among the viewers of <Chekgrim>, one of representative book YouTube channels in Korea. A total of 641 valid samples were analyzed. This study aims to understand the impact of knowledge contents on YouTube, and creator characteristics on viewer satisfaction and purchase intention. Specifically, for the study, content characteristics were divided into three sub-factors: entertainment, information, and interactivity, and the creator characteristics were divided into two sub-factors: intimacy and professionalism. Viewing satisfaction and purchase intention were set as dependent variables. The results of various analyses confirm that creator characteristics have direct and indirect effects on viewers' purchase intentions, and in particular, intimacy has the greatest influence on purchase intentions. This is expected to be a meaningful empirical analysis for future influencer marketing strategies and effective communications between content creators and consumers.

We examined how different types of brand personality play a role to develop a specific consumers' expectation toward a brand, and how this expectation works in various ways in different types of brand transgressions. Based on expectancy violation theory and brand transgression research, a 2 (brand personality types: sincerity vs. competence) × 2 (brand transgression types: morality-related vs. competence-related transgression) factorial design was employed. Corporate evaluations and purchase intention toward the brand were considered as dependent variables. We found that a brand having a sincerity personality is more vulnerable to a morality-related transgression. However, there is no difference in consumers' responses by transgression type for a brand with a competence personality. We identified that brand personality types and transgression types can be critical factors to influence consumers' responses in times of crisis. Theoretical and empirical implications are discussed.

Aberration is still a problem for making augmented reality displays. The existing methods to solve this problem are either slow and inefficient, consume too much battery, or are too complex for straightforward implementation. There are still some problems with image quality, and users may suffer from eye strain and headaches because the images provided to each eye lack accuracy, causing the brain to receive mismatched cues between the vergence and accommodation of the eyes. In this paper, we implemented a computer simulation of an optical aberration using Zernike polynomials which are defocus, trefoil, coma, and spherical. The research showed that these optical aberrations impact the Point Spread Function (PSF) and Modulation Transfer Function (MTF). We employed the phase conjugate technique to mitigate aberrations. The findings revealed that the most significant impact on the PSF and MTF comes from the influence of spherical aberration and coma aberration. -

Working with realistic metahumans allows for the production of realistic and natural movements, such as those captured through motion capture data. Implementing this approach presents many challenges for production tools that adhere to traditional methods. In this study, we investigated the differences between the cell animation workflow and the computer graphics animation production workflow. We compared and analyzed whether these differences could be reduced by creating sample movements using character rigs in Maya and Cascadeur tools. Our results showed that a similar cell animation workflow could be constructed using the Cascadeur tool. To improve the accuracy of our conclusions, we created large, action-packed short animations to demonstrate and validate our findings.

Artificial intelligence is crucial to manufacturing productivity. Understanding the difficulties in producing disruptions, especially in linear feed robot systems, is essential for efficient operations. These mechanical tools, essential for linear movements within systems, are prone to damage and degradation, especially in the LM guide, due to repetitive motions. We examine how explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) may diagnose wafer linear robot linear rail clearance and ball screw clearance anomalies. XAI helps diagnose problems and explain anomalies, enriching management and operational strategies. By interpreting the reasons for anomaly detection through visualizations such as Class Activation Maps (CAMs) using technologies like Grad-CAM, FG-CAM, and FFT-CAM, and comparing 1D-CNN with 2D-CNN, we illustrates the potential of XAI in enhancing diagnostic accuracy. The use of datasets from accelerometer and torque sensors in our experiments validates the high accuracy of the proposed method in binary and ternary classifications. This study exemplifies how XAI can elucidate deep learning models trained on industrial signals, offering a practical approach to understanding and applying AI in maintaining the integrity of critical components such as LM guides in linear feed robots.

Despite numerous air mattresses marketed to prevent Pressure Ulcers (PU), none have fully succeeded due to residual pressure surpassing critical levels. We introduces an innovative medical bed system aiming at complete PU prevention. This system employs a unique 4-bar link mechanism, moving keys up and down to manage body pressure. Each of the 17 keys integrates a sensor controller, reading pressure from 10 sensors. By regulating motor input, we maintain body pressure below critical levels. Keys are equipped with a servo drive and sensor controller, linked to the main controller via two CAN series. Using fuzzy or PI/IP controllers, we adjust keys to minimize total error, dispersing body pressure and ensuring comfort. In case of controller failure, keys alternate swiftly, preventing ulcer development. Through experimental tests under varied conditions, the fuzzy controller with tailored membership functions demonstrated swift performance. PI control showed rapid convergence, while IP control exhibited slower convergence and oscillations near zero error. Our specialized medical robot bed, incorporating 4-bar links and pressure sensors, underwent testing with three controllers-fuzzy, PI, and IP-showcasing their effectiveness in keeping body pressure below critical ulcer levels. Experimental results validate the proposed approach's efficacy, indicating potential for complete PU prevention.

The focus of this paper is secure code development and maintenance. When it comes to safe code, it is most important to consider code readability and maintainability. This is because complex code has a code smell, that is, a structural problem that complicates code understanding and modification. In this paper, the goal is to improve code quality by detecting and removing smells existing in code. We target the encryption and decryption code SEED.c and evaluate the quality level of the code using several metrics such as lines of code (LOC), number of methods (NOM), number of attributes (NOA), cyclo, and maximum nesting level. We improved the quality of SEED.c through systematic detection and refactoring of code smells. Studies have shown that refactoring processes such as splitting long methods, modularizing large classes, reducing redundant code, and simplifying long parameter lists improve code quality. Through this study, we found that encryption code requires refactoring measures to maintain code security.

Effective warehouse management requires advanced resource planning to optimize profits and space. Robots offer a promising solution, but their effectiveness relies on embedded artificial intelligence. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) enhances robot intelligence in these environments. This study explores various MARL algorithms using the Multi-Robot Warehouse Environment (RWARE) to determine their suitability for warehouse resource planning. Our findings show that cooperative MARL is essential for effective warehouse management. IA2C outperforms MAA2C and VDA2C on smaller maps, while VDA2C excels on larger maps. IA2C's decentralized approach, focusing on cooperation over collaboration, allows for higher reward collection in smaller environments. However, as map size increases, reward collection decreases due to the need for extensive exploration. This study highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate MARL algorithm based on the specific warehouse environment's requirements and scale.

In autonomous navigation systems, the need for fast and accurate image processing using deep learning and advanced sensor technologies is paramount. These systems rely heavily on the ability to process and interpret visual data swiftly and precisely to ensure safe and efficient navigation. Despite the critical importance of such capabilities, there has been a noticeable lack of research specifically focused on ship image classification for maritime applications. This gap highlights the necessity for more in-depth studies in this domain. In this paper, we aim to address this gap by presenting a comprehensive comparative study of ship image classification using two distinct neural network models: the Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our study involves the application of both models to the task of classifying ship images, utilizing a dataset specifically prepared for this purpose. Through our analysis, we found that the Convolutional Neural Network demonstrates significantly more effective performance in accurately classifying ship images compared to the Feedforward Neural Network. The findings from this research are significant as they can contribute to the advancement of core source technologies for maritime autonomous navigation systems. By leveraging the superior image classification capabilities of convolutional neural networks, we can enhance the accuracy and reliability of these systems. This improvement is crucial for the development of more efficient and safer autonomous maritime operations, ultimately contributing to the broader field of autonomous transportation technology.

Battery use is increasing worldwide to achieve carbon neutrality and improve energy efficiency, but batteries are a finite resource and their application is determined by capacity and specifications. Battery performance deteriorates as the number of uses increases. A certain level of battery performance degradation has become an issue in the field of reuse and recycling, and various studies are being conducted on reuse to solve power shortages. Waste batteries from electric vehicles are suitable for building ESS based on reusable batteries, and for stable use, technical skills are needed to accurately predict battery life and determine status information. Predicting battery life and determining status information are difficult due to non-linearity due to internal structure or chemical changes. In this paper, we manufactured a modular internal resistance measuring device and compared the measured values with Hioki equipment to minimize the error rate through a correction method. As a result of testing Hioki equipment and modular measuring instruments to ensure efficiency and safety based on reusable batteries, an accuracy of over 95% was confirmed.

Due to the recent emphasis on carbon neutrality and environmental regulations, the global electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing rapid growth. This surge has raised concerns about the recycling and disposal methods for EV batteries. Unlike traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, EVs require unique and safe methods for the recovery and disposal of their batteries. In this process, predicting the lifespan of the battery is essential. Impedance and State of Charge (SOC) analysis are commonly used methods for this purpose. However, predicting the lifespan of batteries with complex chemical characteristics through electrical measurements presents significant challenges. To enhance the accuracy and precision of existing measurement methods, this paper proposes using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, a type of deep learning-based recurrent neural network, to diagnose battery performance. The goal is to achieve safe classification through this model. The designed structure was evaluated, yielding results with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.8451, a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 1.3448, and an accuracy of 0.984, demonstrating excellent performance.

This study introduces a prototype for a virtual zoo initiative, aimed at optimizing resource utilization and minimizing animal displacement from their natural habitats. The prototype features a thoughtfully developed three-dimensional representation of an emperor penguin, with animations designed to emulate real-life behaviors. An investigation into file format distinctions for scientific research, encompassing Wavefront(OBJ), Collada(DAE), and Filmbox(FBX) formats, was conducted. The research utilized the Hololens 2 device for visualization, Unity for environment development, Blender for modeling, and C# for programming, with deployment facilitated through Visual Studio 2019 and the Mixed Reality Toolkit. Empirical examination revealed the OBJ format's suitability for simple geometric shapes, while DAE and FBX formats were preferred for intricate models and animations. DAE files offer detailed preservation of object structure and animations albeit with larger file sizes, whereas FBX files provide compactness but may face scalability constraints due to extensive data integration. This investigation underscores the potential of virtual zoos for conservation and education, advocating for further exploration and context-specific implementation. -
The role of the library is as a public institution that provides academic information to a variety of people, including students, the general public, and researchers. These days, as the importance of lifelong education is emphasized, libraries are evolving beyond simply storing and lending materials to complex cultural spaces that share knowledge and information through various educational programs and cultural events. One of the problems library user's faces is locating books to borrow. This problem occurs because of errors in the location of borrowed books due to delays in updating library databases related to borrowed books, incorrect labeling, and books temporarily located in different locations. The biggest problem is that it takes a long time for users to search for the books they want to borrow. In this paper, we propose a system that visually displays the location of books in real time using an AI vision sensor and LED. The AI vision sensor-based book location guidance system generates a QR code containing the call number of the borrowed book. When the AI vision sensor recognizes this QR code, the exact location of the book is visually displayed through LED to guide users to find it easily. We believe that the AI vision sensor-based book location guidance system dramatically improves book search and management efficiency, and this technology is expected to have great potential for use not only in libraries and bookstores but also in a variety of other fields.

We provide a detailed analysis of the data processing and model training process for vulnerability classification using Transformer-based language models, especially sentence text-to-text transformers (ST5)-XXL and XLNet. The main purpose of this study is to compare the performance of the two models, identify the strengths and weaknesses of each, and determine the optimal learning rate to increase the efficiency and stability of model training. We performed data preprocessing, constructed and trained models, and evaluated performance based on data sets with various characteristics. We confirmed that the XLNet model showed excellent performance at learning rates of 1e-05 and 1e-04 and had a significantly lower loss value than the ST5-XXL model. This indicates that XLNet is more efficient for learning. Additionally, we confirmed in our study that learning rate has a significant impact on model performance. The results of the study highlight the usefulness of ST5-XXL and XLNet models in the task of classifying security vulnerabilities and highlight the importance of setting an appropriate learning rate. Future research should include more comprehensive analyzes using diverse data sets and additional models.

Online consumer reviews have become the most important basis for online shopping and product sales. Fake reviews are generated to boost sales because online consumer reviews play a vital role in consumers' decision making. The prevalence of fake reviews violates the regulations of the online business environment and misleads consumers in decision making. Thus, the present research investigates the effects of reviews' linguistic characteristics (i.e., analytical thinking, authenticity) on review fakeness. Specifically, this research examines whether (1) the level of analytical thinking is lower for fake (vs. genuine) reviews (hypothesis 1) and (2) the level of authenticity is lower for fake (vs. genuine) reviews (hypothesis 2). This research analyzed user-generated hotel reviews (genuine reviews, fake reviews) collected from MTurk. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) 2022 was adopted to code review contents, and the hypotheses were tested using logistic regression. Consistent with the hypotheses 1 and 2, the results indicate that (1) analyticial thinking is negatively associated with review fakeness; and (2) authenticity is negatively associated with review fakeness. The findings provide important implications to identify fake reviews based on linguistic characteristics.

This field study explores how varying target amounts influence donation behavior using real-world data from the online fundraising platform GoFundMe. We analyzed donation data across four different target amounts and found significant differences in donation patterns. Lower target amounts were found to encourage higher individual donations, while excessively high targets were less effective. The data revealed that donors tend to be more responsive to campaigns with achievable goals, possibly due to a perceived higher impact of their contributions. Conversely, campaigns with unrealistically high targets often struggled to gain traction, suggesting a potential donor deterrent effect. We believe these findings provide practical insights for nonprofits on setting realistic and achievable target amounts to maximize donations. Our study underscores the importance of strategic target setting in enhancing fundraising outcomes.

The present research investigates the factors influencing the elderly adults' life satisfaction in the era of information and communication technology (ICT). Specifically, we examine whether the elderly individuals' digital literacy skills (i.e., ability to use PCs, ability to use mobile devices, and ability to distinguish information) and perceptions (i.e., perceived usefulness of digital technology, self-efficacy in using digital devices, and social interaction) predict their life satisfaction. To answer the research question, we performed a hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the elderly Korean adults aged 55 or older. The results indicate that (1) females (vs. males) are more satisfied with their life; (2) the higher individuals' age, education and monthly household income, the higher their life satisfaction; and (3) their perceived usefulness of digital technology, self-efficacy in using digital devices, social interaction, and ability to distinguish information are positively associated with life satisfaction. The findings provide important implications to enhance life satisfaction of the elderly adults in the ICT era.

This paper designs a disease prediction algorithm to diagnose migraine among the types of diseases in advance by learning algorithms using machine learning-based time series analysis. This study utilizes patient data statistics, such as electroencephalogram activity, to design a prediction algorithm to determine the onset signals of migraine symptoms, so that patients can efficiently predict and manage their disease. The results of the study evaluate how accurate the proposed prediction algorithm is in predicting migraine and how quickly it can predict the onset of migraine for disease prevention purposes. In this paper, a machine learning algorithm is used to analyze time series of data indicators used for migraine identification. We designed an algorithm that can efficiently predict and manage patients' diseases by quickly determining the onset signaling symptoms of disease development using existing patient data as input. The experimental results show that the proposed prediction algorithm can accurately predict the occurrence of migraine using machine learning algorithms.

With increasing applications of technologies developed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, data have come to replace important knowledge and experience in the agricultural field. Although data-based smart agriculture is growing at an average annual rate of 8.57%, research on ways to utilize data produced alongside is remains insufficient. Because such data may considerably help stakeholders involved in agricultural activities, we deployed the prosumer concept to revitalize agricultural data. We systematically structured and defined three relevant entities: the prosumer, which produces and consumes agricultural data; the database, which systematically processes and integrates agricultural data; and the consumer, which utilizes agricultural data in various ways. Our framework is designed to help stakeholders use agricultural data to improve the quality of crops, minimize the failure of agricultural activities, quickly adapt to new environments and methods of crop production, and find effective solutions to relevant issues.

With the advent of Metaverse, a promising new era for business on virtual reality (VR) platforms has dawned. In this rapidly expanding Metaverse platform, the potential for virtual fashion marketing through avatars is vast, with leading fashion brands already making strides by creating virtual fashion stores or hosting virtual fashion shows. However, the research on fashion-related industries in this newly emerging virtual world platform is still in its infancy. This study sought to identify the relationship between the characteristics of the Metaverse and the factors that influence how the perceived value of virtual fashion products affects purchase intention. A survey was conducted with three hundred Korean respondents, and the hypothesis was verified through analysis using the SPSS statistical program. Our analysis revealed that the sense of presence significantly influences the value of fashion products on the Metaverse platform. As a result, the sense of presence significantly influenced the emotional, visual authority, and economic value of the avatar virtual fashion perceived by users. Second, enjoyment, visual authority, and economic value influence users' intention to purchase virtual fashion items. In addition, all of these perceived value factors were confirmed to have a significant partial mediating effect on the impact of the presence of the Metaverse platform on the purchase intention. Through this study, we empirically analyzed the causal relationship between the characteristics of the Metaverse platform and the virtual fashion experience using avatars - a topic that has yet to be covered. We formed new insights into virtual fashion consumption, providing primary data for related research streams. Our survey respondents consisted only of those with recent Metaverse experience, so the research results were highly effective.

Time-limited promotions have become a popular strategy across various product categories including fashion mobile platforms. While consumer feel content and satisfied when they get this , those who miss the opportunity may develop negative feelings and tend to give up on additional price discounts. This phenomenon, known as inaction inertia, has been a crucial subject of consumer behavior research. However, the underlying mechanism within the context of fashion consumption has yet to be discussed. This study investigated whether consumers show inaction inertia when purchasing fashion products and whether involvement moderates product purchases in inaction inertia situations. Hypotheses were tested through an online survey with 336 Korean participants based on fictitious purchase scenarios. In the results, the hypothesized negative influence of inaction inertia on purchase intention for fashion products was statistically confirmed. Furthermore, the hypothesized moderation effect of involvement in the mechanism was confirmed - only within the high (vs. low) age group. To explain, the negative effect of inaction inertia significantly decreases among older consumers of high (vs. low) involvement levels. We contributed to the related academic flow by performing an experimental study on inaction inertia, which had relatively little empirical research compared to the influence confirmed in practice so far. We also provided a novel idea by demonstrating that the moderating effect of product involvement differs depending on the age group.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the authenticity of the referees perceived by esports viewers affects the intention to re-viewing intention through viewing commitment and viewing attitude. To achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted on 200 viewers who had watched esports LCK broadcasts. A total of 200 data were collected, and all data were used as the final valid sample. For data processing, frequency analysis, Cronbach's alpha, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were performed using SPSS 27. The results shown in this study are as follows. First, it was found that the authenticity of the referees had a positive effect on viewing commitment. Second, it was found that the authenticity of the referees had a positive effect on viewing attitude, Third, it was found that the authenticity of the referees had a positive effect on re-viewing intention. Fourth, it was found that viewing commitment had a positive effect on the re-viewing intention. Fifth, it was found that the viewing attitude had a positive effect on the re-viewing intention. We found from these results that viewers are importantly aware of the authenticity of e-sports referees and therefore have to strive to increase the authenticity of referees.

In this paper, we develope a LOB(Limit Order Book) analyzing tool for an automated trading system, which features real-time and offline analysis of LOB data in conjunction with execution data. The 10-tier LOB data analyzer developed in this paper, which contains ask/bid prices and the execution data, receivs transaction requests in real-time from the Kiwoom Open API+ server. In the OnReceiveTrData event, the transaction data from the server is received and processed. The real-time data, triggered by the transaction, is received and processed in the OnReceiveRealData event. These two types of data are stored in a database and replayed in the same way as if it were a real-time situation in simulation mode. The LOB data are selectively read and analyzed in a necessary time points. The tool provides various features such as bar chart analysis and pattern analysis of the total shares on the bid side and ask side, which are used to develop a tool to accurately determine the timing of stock trading.

Agriculture has always been the foundation of Vietnam's economy, accounting for a significant portion of GDP. However, like many traditional industries, Vietnamese agriculture faces many challenges, from inefficient supply chains to unpredictable weather developments. In recent years, Vietnam's agricultural sector has been looking for ways to improve productivity and efficiency by applying modern technology. Among these technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential solution to address the challenges farmers and other stakeholders face in the agricultural supply chain. AI can analyze large amounts of data, optimize resource allocation, and predict market trends, which can significantly improve decision-making in agriculture. However, despite the promising prospects of AI in agriculture, there are still challenges to the widespread application of AI in Vietnam. These include the need for more awareness, technical expertise, and Infrastructure to support AI implementation. In this study, we analyze the current state of AI applications in Vietnam's agricultural supply chain, identify key challenges, and propose strategies to facilitate the integration of AI technology in agriculture supply chains in Vietnam in the digital age. -
