We Propose a partial response maximum likelihood(PRML) detection method that improves the performance of the high-density optical storage system. It concurrently adjusts the coefficient of equalizer and reference values of branches in Viterbi detector. For the estimation of asymmetric channel characteristics by the tangential tilt, we exploit sync patterns in each data frame. The simulation result shows it improves the Performance up to 4dB at 10-6 BER compared to conventional adaptive PRML.

Serially concatenated multilevel coded modulation (SCMCM) is proposed in this paper. It is a combined scheme of the outer convolutional code and inner multilevel coded modulation (MCM) which is bandwidth-efficient coded modulation. And the performance of three schemes for decoding of the proposed SCMCM is compared and analyzed. As results of simulations, global iterative decoding with inner and outer code should be performed to improve the error performance as the number of iterations is increased. And the scheme which uses both local iterative multistage decoding in MCM and global iterative decoding with inner and outer code, called Scheme 3 in this paper, shows the best error performance among the three schemes considered in this paper. In addition, performance difference between this scheme and the others is increased as the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is increased. Therefore, Scheme 3 is considered to be the proper decoding scheme of SCMCM.

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility and repeatability for each color vision test method. Methods: The subjects for color vision test were 30 students without congenital color vision deficiency and they major in optometry in a university, Korea. The type of color vision test selected for this study were Hans color vision test, Hans 15 hue test and Lanthony D 15 hue test. The Ishihara test was added for assessment of reliability of inter-tester. Results: All of the subjects were classified into normal at pseudoisochromatic plates, but one subject's result showed mild blue-yellow color deficiency at Hue discrimination. Results of 3 repeated test for subjects and inter-tester examination showed no errors at pseudoisochromatic plates. There were differences in mild errors among repeated test at Hue discrimination, but no differences were found in the results of repeated test to classify color vision deficiency. Conclusion: Each tester had better be more skilled to test even simple color vision test for eliminating the possibility of mild errors. Each subject might just as well be careful in color vision test. It is required to test both method of pseudoisochromatic plates and Hue discrimination in screening test.

Given the attributes of mobile apps that shorten the time to make purchase decisions while enabling easy purchase cancellations, usability can be regarded to be a highly prioritized quality attribute among the diverse quality attributes that must be provided by mobile apps. With that backdrop, mobile app developers have been making great effort to minimize usability hampering elements that degrade the merchantability of apps in many ways. Most elements that hamper the convenience in use of mobile apps stem from those potential errors that occur when GUIs are designed. In our previous study, we have proposed a technique to analyze the usability of mobile apps using user behavior logs. We proposes a technique to detect usability hampering elements lying dormant in mobile apps' GUI models by expressing user behavior logs with finite state models, combining user behavior models extracted from multiple users, and comparing the combined user behavior model with the expected behavior model on which the designer's intention is reflected. In addition, to reduce the burden of the repeated test operations that have been conducted by existing developers to detect usability errors, the present paper also proposes a mobile usability error detection automation tool that enables automatic application of the proposed technique. The utility of the proposed technique and tool is being discussed through comparison between the GUI issue reports presented by actual open source app developers and the symptoms detected by the proposed technique.

In sensor network, the elimination of NLOS information is a necessity to improve the accuracy of the localization. For this reason, we proposed an algorithm iteratively eliminating the NLOS information to enhance the accuracy of the localization of a tag location, and simulated the proposed algorithm to confirm the performance. The proposed algorithm can estimate the location of the error distance within 3.5m when it has 10 LOS coordinates with LOS information. In addition, it can enhance the accuracy according to decreasing NLOS coordinates.

음성 대화 시스템에서는 사용자가 잘못된 슬롯명을 말하거나 음성인식 오류가 발생해 사용자의 의도에 맞지 않는 응답을 하는 경우가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 말뭉치나 사전 데이터를 활용한 질의 교정 방법들이 제안되지만, 이는 지속적으로 사람이 개입하여 데이터를 주입해야하는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 축적된 로그 데이터를 활용하여 사람의 개입 없이 음악 재생에 필요한 슬롯을 교정하는 자기 학습(Self-learning) 기반의 모델을 제안한다. 이 모델은 사용자가 특정 음악을 재생하고자 유사한 질의를 반복하는 상황을 이용하여 비지도 학습 기반으로 학습하고 음악 재생에 실패한 슬롯을 교정한다. 그리고, 학습한 모델 결과의 정확도에 대한 불확실성을 해소하기 위해 질의 슬롯 관계 유사도 모델을 이용하여 교정 결과에 대한 검증을 하고 슬롯 교정 결과에 대한 안정성을 보장한다. 모델 학습을 위한 데이터셋은 사용자가 연속으로 질의한 세션 데이터로부터 추출하며, 음악 재생 슬롯 세션 데이터와 질의 슬롯 관계 유사도 데이터를 각각 구축하여 슬롯 교정 모델과 질의 슬롯 관계 유사도 모델을 학습한다. 교정된 슬롯을 분석한 결과 발음 정보가 유사한 슬롯 뿐만 아니라 의미적인 관계가 있는 슬롯으로도 교정하여 사전 기반 방식보다 다양한 유형의 교정이 가능한 것을 보였다. 3 개월 간 수집된 로그 데이터로 학습한 음악 재생 슬롯 교정 모델은 일주일 동안 반복한 고유 질의 기준, 음악 재생 실패의 12%를 개선하는 성능을 보였다.

Image warping is a technology to transform input images to be suitable for given conditions and has been recently utilized in changing face shape of characters in the field of movies or animation. Mesh warping which is one of warping methods that change shapes based on the features of face forms warping images by forming rectangular mesh groups around the eyes, nose, and mouth and matching them 1:1. This method has a problem in the resultant images are distorted in the segments of boundaries between meshes when there are errors in mesh control points or when meshes have been formed as many small area meshes. This study proposes a triangle based image interpolation technique to minimize the occurrence of errors in the process of forming natural warping images of face and process accurate results with a small amount of arithmetic operation and a short time. First, feature points that represent the face are found and these points are connected to form basic triangle meshes. The fact that the proposed method can reduce errors occurring in the process of warping while reducing the amount of arithmetic operation and time is shown through experiments.

Turbo code, a kind of error correction coding technique, has been used in the field of digital mobile communication system. As the number of iterations increases, it can achieves remarkable BER performance over AWGN channel environment. However, if the number of iterations is increased in the several channel environments, any further iteration results in very little improvement, and requires much delay and computation in proportion to the number of iterations. To solve this problems, it is necessary to device an efficient criterion to stop the iteration process and prevent unnecessary delay and computation. In this paper, it proposes an efficient and simple criterion for stopping the iteration process in turbo decoding. By using variance values of LLR in turbo decoder, the proposed algerian can largely reduce the average number of iterations without BER performance degradation in all SNR regions. As a result of simulation, the average number of iterations in the upper SNR region is reduced by about $34.66%{\sim}41.33%$ compared to method using variance values of extrinsic information. the average number of iterations in the lower SNR region is reduced by about $13.93%{\sim}14.45%$ compared to CE algorithm and about $13.23%{\sim}14.26%$ compared to SDR algorithm.

The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of defining concrete and abstract nouns for the elderly. A total of 382 elderly participated in this study and they were classified into four age groups (i.e., over 55 to under 64, over 65 to under 74, over 75 to under 84, and over 85 year-old group). They performed the word definition task, composed of five concrete and five abstract nouns. The total scores and numbers and ratio of core/supplementary meanings were compared among four elderly groups. The frequency and ratio of error types were also examined. The results showed that all four groups had statistically significant differences in total scores, numbers and ratio of core and supplementary meaning of concrete noun definition task. In addition, abstract noun definition performances revealed group differences except the two groups (over 75 to under 84 and over 85-year-old group). The oldest group showed a sharp increase in error production. The highest ratio of error types were personal experience in over 55 to under 64-year-old group, and over 65 to under 74 year-old groups; and for the target word repetition in over 75 to under 84 year-old group; and no response in over 85 year-old group. In conclusion, both concrete and abstract word defining abilities had age-related deterioration. This decline results from impairment in spreading semantic knowledge within semantic network, which is vulnerable to aging. Characteristics of word definition for elderly can provide basic information to understand various neurolinguistic disorders associated with age.
