In this paper, we proposed the FNCAC (fuzzy neural call admission control) scheme of the ATM networks which used the benefits of fuzzy logic controller and the learning abilities of the neural network to solve the call admission control problems. The new call in ATM networks is connected if QoS(quality of service) of the current calls is not affected due to the connection of a new call. The neural network CAC(call admission control) system is predictable system because the neural network is able to learn by the input/output pattern. We applied the fuzzy inference on the learning rate and momentum constant for improving the learning speed of the fuzzy neural network. The excellence of the proposed algorithm was verified using measurement of learning numbers in the traditional neural network method and fuzzy neural network method by simulation. We found that the learning speed of the FNCAC based on the fuzzy learning rules is 5 times faster than that of the CAC method based on the traditional neural network theory.

With the recent developments in computer technology, there has been an increasing interest in the field of machine learning. This also has led to a significant increase in real business cases of machine learning theory in various sectors. In finance, it has been a major challenge to predict the future value of financial products. Since the 1980s, the finance industry has relied on technical and fundamental analysis for this prediction. For future value prediction models using machine learning, model design is of paramount importance to respond to market variables. Therefore, this paper quantitatively predicts the stock price movements of individual stocks listed on the KOSPI market using machine learning techniques; specifically, the reinforcement learning model. The DQN and A2C algorithms proposed by Google Deep Mind in 2013 are used for the reinforcement learning and they are applied to the stock trading strategies. In addition, through experiments, an input value to increase the cumulative profit is selected and its superiority is verified by comparison with comparative algorithms.

This study applies reinforcement learning to effectively operate expressway hard shoulder running (HSR). An HSR algorithm was developed, and its effectiveness was evaluated using the VISSIM microscopic simulation program. The simulation evaluated two aspects: mobility and safety. The DQN-based HSR algorithm found speed improvement of up to 26 km/h. Compared to the current method, the difference in the number of conflicts was not significant. Considering the results, a DQN-based HSR operation has a clear effect, and it is necessary to consider adjusting the current operational criteria.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy that integrates nursing knowledge, skills, and attitudes into clinical nursing practice. This pilot aims to apply a PBL module on preschoolers' growth and development in the nursing curriculum. This quantitative study was performed to develop a PBL module following Dick and Carye's program development process (planning, development, application, and evaluation phases), and to evaluate its effects using structured questionnaires among sophomore nursing students. These students formed teams of four or five people each and spent 40 minutes participating in the PBL module. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and content analysis. Metacognition level increased significantly. There was no significant difference in team efficacy between pre-test and post-test. Post-test learning satisfaction was high. Students reported obtaining knowledge and problem-solving ability with respect to preschoolers' growth and development and were satisfied with teamwork. This finding offers fundamental knowledge concerning the application of a PBL module in nursing curricula.

This paper introduces a method for improving accuracy using the first convolution layer, which is not used in most modified CNN(: Convolution Neural Networks). In CNN, such as GoogLeNet and DenseNet, the first convolution layer uses only the traditional methods(3×3 convolutional computation, batch normalization, and activation functions), replacing this with RGB-csb. In addition to the results of preceding studies that can improve accuracy by applying RGB values to feature maps, the accuracy is compared with existing CNN using a limited number of images. The method proposed in this paper shows that the smaller the number of images, the greater the learning accuracy deviation, the more unstable, but the higher the accuracy on average compared to the existing CNN. As the number of images increases, the difference in accuracy between the existing CNN and the proposed method decreases, and the proposed method does not seem to have a significant effect.

In this paper, we propose a thermal imagery-based object detection algorithm for low-light level nighttime surveillance system. Many features selected by Haar-like feature selection algorithm and existing Adaboost algorithm are often vulnerable to noise and problems with similar or overlapping feature set for learning samples. It also removes noise from the feature set from the surveillance image of the low-light night environment, and implements it using the lightweight extended Haar feature and adaboost learning algorithm to enable fast and efficient real-time feature selection. Experiments use extended Haar feature points to recognize non-predictive objects with motion in nighttime low-light environments. The Adaboost learning algorithm with video frame 800*600 thermal image as input is implemented with CUDA 9.0 platform for simulation. As a result, the results of object detection confirmed that the success rate was about 90% or more, and the processing speed was about 30% faster than the computational results obtained through histogram equalization operations in general images.

In The matching algorithm for automatic packaging of drugs is essential to determine whether the canister can exactly refill the suitable medicine. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical neural network with the upper and lower layers which can perform real-time processing and classification of many types of medicine bottles to prevent accidental medicine disaster. A few number of low-dimensional feature vector are extracted from the label images presenting medicine-bottle information. By using the extracted feature vectors, the lower layer of MLP(Multi-layer Perceptron) neural networks is learned. Then, the output of the learned middle layer of the MLP is used as the input to the upper layer of the MLP learning. The proposed hierarchical neural network shows good classification performance and real- time operation in the test of up to 30 degrees rotated to the left and right images of 100 different medicine bottles.

Recently, mean-teacher models based on convolutional recurrent neural networks are popularly used in audio event detection. The mean-teacher model is an architecture that consists of two parallel CRNNs and it is possible to train them effectively on the weakly-labelled and unlabeled audio data by using the consistency learning metric at the output of the two neural networks. In this study, we tried to improve the performance of the mean-teacher model by using additional derivative features of the log-mel spectrum. In the audio event detection experiments using the training and test data from the Task 4 of the DCASE 2018/2019 Challenges, we could obtain maximally a 8.1% relative decrease in the ER(Error Rate) in the mean-teacher model using proposed derivative features.

Estimating 3D information from a single image is one of the essential problems in numerous applications. Since a 2D image inherently might originate from an infinite number of different 3D scenes, thus 3D reconstruction from a single image is notoriously challenging. This challenge has been overcame by the advent of recent deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), by modeling the mapping function between 2D image and 3D information. However, to train such deep CNNs, a massive training data is demanded, but such data is difficult to achieve or even impossible to build. Recent trends thus aim to present deep learning techniques that can be trained in a weakly-supervised manner, with a meta-data without relying on the ground-truth depth data. In this article, we introduce recent developments of weakly-supervised deep learning technique, especially categorized as scene 3D reconstruction and object 3D reconstruction, and discuss limitations and further directions.

Text region detection is a technology that detects text area in handwriting or printed documents. The detected text areas are digitized through a recognition step, which is used in various fields depending on the purpose of use. However, the detection result of the small text unit is not suitable for the industrial field. In addition, the border of tables in the document that it causes miss-detected results, which has an adverse effect on the recognition step. To solve the issues, we propose a method for detecting text region using the border information of the table. In order to utilize the border information of the table, the proposed method adjusts the flow of two decoders. Experimentally, we show improved performance using the table border pseudo label based on weak supervised learning.
