The purpose of this study is to investigate how Korean learners perceive English vowels and further to test SLM which claims that new L2 vowel categories are more easily acquired than similar L2 vowel categories. Twenty Korean learners participated in English-to-Korean mapping test and English vowel identification test with target vowels /i, ɪ, u, ʊ, ɛ, æ/. The result revealed that Korean participants mapped the English pairs /i/-/ɪ/ and /u/-/ʊ/ onto single Korean vowel /i/ and /u/, respectively. in addition, both of English /ɛ/ and /æ/ were simultaneously mapped onto Korean /e/ and /ɛ/. This indicated that the Korean participants seemed to have perceptual difficulty for the pairs /i-ɪ/, /u-ʊ/, and /ɛ-æ/. The result of the forced-choice identification test showed that the accuracy of /ɪ, ʊ, æ/(ɪ: 81.3%, ʊ: 62.5%, æ: 60.0%) was significantly higher than that of /i, u, ɛ/(i: 28,8%, u: 28.8%, ɛ: 32.4%). Thus, the claim of SLM is confirmed given that /ɪ, ʊ, æ/ are new vowel categories whereas /i, u, ɛ/ are similar vowel categories. Further, the conspicuously low accuracy of the similar L2 vowel categories /i, u, ɛ/ was accounted for by over-generalization whereby the Korean participants excessively replaced L2 similar /i, u, ɛ/ with L2 new /ɪ, ʊ, æ/ as the participants were learning the L2 new vowel categories in the process of acquisition. Based on the findings this study, pedagogical suggestions are provided.

The perception of English labial consonants was investigated via experiment where 40 Korean EFL learners identified nonwords with the target labial consonants [p, b, f, v] in 4 different prosodic locations: initial onset position, intervocalic position before stress, intervocalic position after stress, and final coda position. The overall result showed that the proportion of perception accuracy of the target consonants was rather low, amounting to only 55%. There was also a positional effect since the accuracy rates for perceiving the four target consonants differed by position. Specifically, the average accuracy rate of the target consonant identification was higher in intervocalic position before stress (70%) and initial onset position (67%) than in intervocalic position after stress (45%) and final coda position (36%). Further, the accuracy rate for [f] is was high in all prosodic locations except intervocalic position after stress. The perception patterns were accounted for by the markedness and perceptual factors in conjunction with stress location.

Versatile Video Coding(VVC)에서 동영상 압축 효율을 증가시키기 위한 다양한 화면 간 예측(inter prediction) 기법 중에 적응적 움직임 벡터 해상도(Adaptive motion vector resolution, 이하 AMVR) 기술이 채택되었다. 다만 AMVR을 위해서는 다양한 움직임 벡터 해상도를 테스트해야 하는 부호화 복잡도를 야기하였다. AMVR의 부호화 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 가벼운 신경망 모델 기반의 AMVR 조기 판별 기법을 제안한다. 이에 따라 불필요한 상황을 미리 조기에 인지하여 대응한다면 나머지 AMVR 과정을 생략할 수 있기에 부호화 복잡도의 향상을 볼 수 있다.

다양한 사용자의 요구를 충족 시키기 위해서 스마트폰 제조사들은 상이한 해상도의 스마트폰을 출시하고 있지만, 이것은 스마트폰 앱의 호환성 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 호환성 문제는 서로 다른 해상도를 가진 스마트폰에서 동일한 앱을 실행했을 경우에 그 결과가 다른 현상을 말한다. 스마트폰의 해상도 차이에 따른 앱호환성 문제는 앞으로 더욱 심각해질 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 앱의 호환성을 판별하기 위하여 GUI 기반의 테스트 기법이 고려될 수 있다. 특히 해상도가 다른 두 스마트폰에서 동일한 앱의 실행 결과 화면의 화면 동등성 평가는 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 극복하기 위하여 해상도가 다른 스마트폰의 앱 호환성을 평가하기 위한 화면 동등성을 판별하는 프레임워크를 제안한다. 상이한 해상도의 상용 스마트폰을 대상으로 앱의 실행화면 동등성 평가를 위해 단순 비교 기법과 VDP 기법의 성능 비교를 위한 실험 결과를 소개한다. 실험에서는 상이한 해상도의 스마트폰에서 동일한 앱의 실행 화면을 바탕으로 단순 비교 기법과 VDP 기법의 동등성 판별 성능을 비교한다. 실험 결과 사람의 시각 체계와 유사한 인지 능력을 보이는 VDP 가 화면의 동등성을 비교적 정확하게 판별하였다.

Based on the observation that Korean speakers of English have difficulties in producing English fricatives, a perception experiment was designed to investigate whether Korean speakers also have difficulties perceiving English labial consonants including fricatives. Forty Korean college students were asked to perform a multiple-choice identification test. The consonant perception test consisted of nonce words which contained English labial consonants [p, b, f, v] in 4 different prosodic locations: initial onset position, intervocalic position before stress, intervocalic position after stress, and final coda position. The general perception pattern was that the mean accuracy rates were higher in strong position like CV and VCVV than in weak position like VC and VVCV. The difficulties in perceiving the English targets resulted mainly from bidirectional manner confusion between stop and fricative across all prosodic locations. The other types of misidentification were due to place confusion as well as voicing confusion. Place confusion was generated mostly by the target [f] in all prosodic position due to acoustic properties. Voicing confusion was heavily influenced by prosodic position. The misperception of the participants was accounted for by phonetic properties and/or the participants' native language properties.

The results showed that there was a strong positional effect since the accuracy rates of the four target consonants differed by position.

Further, the accuracy rate for [f] is was high in all prosodic locations except the unstressed intervocalic position. This is unexpected in markedness theory given that fricatives are assumed to be more difficult to learn than stops.

It is well-known that Korean EFL learners have difficulties in producing English fricatives which are not in the inventory of Korean and consequently tend to replace English fricatives with stops. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether Korean students also have difficulties perceiving English anterior coronal consonants including fricatives. To this end, forty Korean college students participated in an identification test which consisted of 24 nonce words with English anterior coronal consonants in 4 different prosodic locations (CV, VC, VCVV,VVCV). It was shown that the mean accuracy rates were higher in strong position like CV and VCVV than in weak position like VC and VVCV, providing confusion matrices for each target consonant. It was also found that Korean participants had a great difficulty identifying English[$\theta$] and [$\eth$], which are novel in Korean. Importantly, the confusion patterns found in the perception test tended not to be identical with those found in the previous production studies in that both stops and fricatives were misperceived as fricatives while fricatives were misproduced as stops. Further, perceptual devoicing and intervocalic voicing were attested inVC and intervocalic position, respectively. Based on the findings of this study, pedagogical implications were drawn.

In this paper, a detection technique of smishing using a TaintDroid is suggested. Suggesting system detects malicious acts by transmitting a URL to the TaintDroid server and installing a relevant application to a virtual device of the TaintDroid server, when a smartphone user receives a text message including the URL suspected as a smishing. Through this we want to distinguish an application that can not install because of suspicion of a smishing in an actual smartphone whether said application is malicious application or not by testing with the virtual device of said system. The detection technique of a smishing using the TaintDroid suggested in this paper is possible to detect in a new form a smishing with a text message and to identifying which application it is through analysis of results from a user.

Studies on aesthetic experience in games mostly focus on engineering approach centered on structural determination of specific target within the game as well as humanistic·social approach in forms of artistic conversation on game play experience. This paper have established a theoretic guideline regarding the progress of aesthetic experience which allows analysis from the perspective of player experience acquired during game play. Based on such guideline, the study classifies cognitive data (Eye-Tracking, Playing Action, Facial Expression) on aesthetic experience and suggests the methods to measure such data. By deducing errors and points to be considered related to measuring methods through pilot tests, this study will contribute to the execution of empirical study focused on player perspective.
