In the game of Go, the life-and-death problem is a fundamental problem to be definitely overcome when implementing a computer Go program. To solve local Go problems such as life-and-death problems, an important consideration is how to tackle the game tree's huge branching factor and its depth. The basic idea of the experiment conducted in this article is that we modelled the human behavior to get the recognized first moves to kill the surrounded group. In the game of Go, similar life-and-death problems(patterns) often have similar solutions. To categorize similar patterns, we implemented Kohonen Neural Network(KNN) based clustering and found that the experimental result is promising and thus can compete with a pattern matching method, that uses supervised learning with a neural network, for solving life-and-death problems.

Recently, WWW(World Wide Web) has become a source of a large amount of information, and is now recognized not only as an information-sharing tool, but also as an information repository. Currently, the majority of documents on the web were created using HTML(Hypertext Markup Language). Although HTML is simple and easy to learn, its inherent lack of describing document structure makes it difficult to retrieve information effectively. One possible solution would be to convert such HTML documents into XML (extensible Markup Language) documents. This is a standard markup language for exchanging data on the web. It can describe a document structure freely by defining its own DTD (Document Type Definition). This makes it possible to integrate, store, and retrieve data on the web efficiently In this paper, we will propose a converter that automatically converts HTML documents with similar pattern into XML documents by analyzing the document structure and recognizing its path information.

Music evokes human emotions or creates music moods through various low-level musical features. Typical music clip consists of one or more moods and this can be used as an important criteria for determining the similarity between music clips. In this paper, we propose a new music retrieval scheme based on the mood change patterns of music clips. For this, we first divide music clips into segments based on low level musical features. Then, we apply K-means clustering algorithm for grouping them into clusters with similar features. By assigning a unique mood symbol for each cluster, we can represent each music clip by a sequence of mood symbols. Finally, to estimate the similarity of music clips, we measure the similarity of their musical mood sequence using the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) algorithm. To evaluate the performance of our scheme, we carried out various experiments and measured the user evaluation. We report some of the results.

Collaborative filtering is a method to predict preference items of a user based on the evaluations of items provided by others with similar preferences. Collaborative filtering helps general people make smart decisions in today's information society where information can be easily accumulated and analyzed. We designed, implemented, and evaluated a course recommendation system experimentally. This system can help university students choose courses they prefer to. Firstly, the system needs to collect the course preferences from students and store in a database. Users showing similar preference patterns are considered into similar groups. We use Pearson correlation as a similarity measure. We select K-nearest students to predict the unknown preferences of the student and provide a ranked list of courses based on the course preferences of K-nearest students. We evaluated the accuracy of the recommendation by computing the mean absolute errors of predictions using a survey on the course preferences of students.

One-dimensional time-series data have been studied in various database applications such as data mining and data warehousing. However, in the current complex business environment, multidimensional data sequences (MDS') become increasingly important in addition to one-dimensional time-series data. For example, a video stream can be modeled as an MDS in the multidimensional space with respect to color and texture attributes. In this paper, we propose the effective similarity measures on which the similar pattern retrieval is based. An MDS is partitioned into segments, each of which is represented by various geometric and semantic features. The similarity measures are defined on the basis of these segments. Using the measures, irrelevant segments are pruned from a database with respect to a given query. Both data sequences and query sequences are partitioned into segments, and the query processing is based upon the comparison of the features between data and query segments, instead of scanning all data elements of entire sequences.

This paper describes a new measuring technique by analysing multiple time-series patterns. This paper's goal is that extracts a really measured value having a sample pattern which is the best matched with an inputted time-series, and calculates a difference ratio with the value. Therefore, the proposed technique is not a recognition but a measurement. and not a hardware but a software. The proposed technique is consisted of three stages, initialization, learning and measurement. In the initialization stage, it decides weights of all parameters using importance given by an operator. In the learning stage, it classifies sample patterns using LBG and DTW algorithm, and then creates code sequences for all the patterns. In the measurement stage, it creates a code sequence for an inputted time-series pattern, finds samples having the same code sequence by hashing, and then selects the best matched sample. Finally it outputs the really measured value with the sample and the difference ratio. For the purpose of performance evaluation, we tested on multiple time-series patterns obtained from etching machine which is a semiconductor manufacturing.

One of the popular methods used for pattern classification is the MBR (Memory-Based Reasoning) algorithm. Since it simply computes distances between a test pattern and training patterns or hyperplanes stored in memory, and then assigns the class of the nearest training pattern, it is notorious for memory usage and can't learn additional information from new data. In order to overcome this problem, we propose an incremental learning algorithm (iMPA). iMPA divides the entire pattern space into fixed number partitions, and generates representatives from each partition. Also, due to the fact that it can not learn additional information from new data, we present iMPA which can learn additional information from new data and not require access to the original data, used to train. Proposed methods have been successfully shown to exhibit comparable performance to k-NN with a lot less number of patterns and better result than EACH system which implements the NGE theory using benchmark data sets from UCI Machine Learning Repository.

퍼지 ART 알고리즘에서 경계 변수는 패턴들을 클러스터링하는데 있어서 반지름 값이 되며 임의의 패턴과 저장된 패턴과의 불일치(mismatch) 허용도를 결정한다. 이 경계 변수가 크면 입력 벡터와 기대 벡터 사이에 약간의 차이가 있어도 새로운 카테고리(category)로 분류하게 된다. 반대로 경계 변수가 작으면 입력 벡터와 기대 벡터 사이에 많은 차이가 있더라도 유사성이 인정되어 입력 벡터들을 대략적으로 분류한다. 따라서 영상 인식에 적용하기 위해서는 경험적으로 경계 변수를 설정해야 단점이 있다. 그리고 연결 가중치를 조정하는 과정에서 학습률의 설정에 따라 저장된 패턴들의 정보들이 손실되는 경우가 발생하여 인식율을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지 ART 알고리즘의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 퍼지 논리 접속 연산자를 이용하여 경계 변수를 동적으로 조정하고 저장 패턴들과 학습 패턴간의 실제적인 왜곡 정도를 충분히 고려하여 승자 노드로 선택된 빈도수를 학습률로 설정하여 가중치 조정에 적용한 개선된 퍼지 ART 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인하기 위해서 실제 영문 명함에서 추출한 영문자들을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 ART1과 ART2 알고리즘이나 퍼지 ART 알고리즘보다 클러스터의 수가 적게 생성되었고 인식 성능도 기존의 방법들보다 우수한 성능이 있음을 확인하였다.

웹사이트 설계자의 주관적 판단에 의한 정적 하이퍼텍스트 링킹은 모든 사용자들에게 동일한 링크를 제공한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하고, 각 사용자들의 브라우징 패턴에 적합한 웹 문서들을 동적 링크로 제공해주기 위한 여러 동적 링킹 시스템들이 제안되었다. 그러나 대부분의 동적 링킹 시스템들은 사용자의 현재 브라우징 패턴과 가장 유사한 패턴 정보만을 이용해 동적 링크를 제공하기 때문에 연관성이 없는 웹 문서들에 대한 링크를 수시로 제공한다는 또 다른 문제를 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 마이닝의 한 응용 분야인 웹 마이닝 기법을 이용하여 웹 서버의 로그파일로부터 사용자들의 브라우징 패턴을 분석해내고, 다차원 데이터 집합에 적합한 Association Rule Hypergraph Partitioning(ARHP) 알고리즘을 이용하여 서로 연관성이 있는 웹 문서들을 분류한다. 사용자 브라우징 패턴 정보로부터 사용자에게 추천해줄 1차 링크 집합을 생성하고, 연관 웹 문서 정보를 이용하여 2차 링크 집합을 생성한다. 그리고 두 링크 집합에 공통으로 포함된 링크 집합만을 사용자에게 동적으로 추천해줌으로써 사용자가 보다 편리하고 정확하게 웹사이트를 브라우징 할 수 있도록 하는 동적 링킹 시스템을 제안한다.

This study analyzed how two sixth graders recognized, generalized, and represented functional relationships in exploring geometric growing patterns. The results showed that at first the students had a tendency to solve the given problem using the picture in it, but later attempted to generalize the functional relationships in exploring subsequent items. The students also represented the patterns with their own methods, which in turn had an impact on the process of generalizing and applying the patterns to a related context. Given these results, this paper includes issues and implications on how to foster functional thinking ability at the elementary school.
