The purpose of this study is for Human error prevention to acquire Collision Risk Perception Index (CRPI) sensed by the Officer Of the Watch (OOW) when the approaching distances are reduced in six types of ship encountering situations (Head on, $045^{\circ}$, $090^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$, Overtaking, Overtaken) between own ship and a target ship and then to predict CRPI fitting coefficients with polynomials in the curve-fitting process. CRPI acquisition experiments are carried out on two coast-guard ships and with the total of 30 crew members. Analysing results shows that CRPI data have goodness of fit to the six types of encountering situation. Futhermore, the One-Way ANOVA results show that CRPI has a negative affect to the OOW's age, career and license grade as the approaching distances is reduced. The availability of CRPI curve fitting with 3 degrees of polynomial was testified through the RMSE as 1.19 to Head on, 0.87 to $045^{\circ}$, 0.81 to $090^{\circ}$, 0.71 to $135^{\circ}$, 1.29 to Overtaking and 0.87 to Overtaken.

The purpose of this study is to propose strategies of puzzle-based learning for Informatics gifted education through analyzing Informatics gifted elementary students' computational problem solving approaches in puzzle-based learning contexts. Six types of educational puzzles, which are constraints, optimization, probability, statistically speaking, pattern recognition, and strategy, were used in teaching 14 Informatics gifted students for 8 sessions. The results of pre and post test and each students' answers were analyzed to identify why students were not able to solve the puzzles. We also analysed what essential computational strategies are needed to solve each type of puzzles, and what students did not know in solving puzzle problems. We identified some problems caused by puzzle representation methods, and various students' intuitions that disturb puzzle solving. Also, we identified essential computational strategies to solve puzzles: backtracking, dynamic programming, abstraction, modeling, and reduction of big problem. However, students had difficulties in applying these strategies to solve their puzzle problems. We proposed the revised puzzle-based learning strategies, which is based on the improved problem representation, just-in-time cognitive feedbacks, and web-based learning system.

In this paper, we propose the input image selection-method to improve the reconstructed high-resolution (HR) image quality. To obtain ideal super-resolution (SR) reconstruction image, all input images are well-registered. However, the registration is not ideal in practice. Due to this reason, the selection of input images with low registration error (RE) is more important than the number of input images in order to obtain good quality of a HR image. The suitability of a candidate input image can be determined by using statistical and restricted registration properties. Therefore, we propose the proper candidate input Low Resolution(LR) image selection-method as a pre-processing for the SR reconstruction in automatic manner. In video sequences, all input images in specified region are allowed to use SR reconstruction as low-resolution input image and/or the reference image. The candidacy of an input LR image is decided by the threshold value and this threshold is calculated by using the maximum motion compensation error (MMCE) of the reference image. If the motion compensation error (MCE) of LR input image is in the range of 0 < MCE < MMCE then this LR input image is selected for SR reconstruction, else then LR input image are neglected. The optimal reference LR (ORLR) image is decided by comparing the number of the selected LR input (SLRI) images with each reference LR input (RLRI) image. Finally, we generate a HR image by using optimal reference LR image and selected LR images and by using the Hardie's interpolation method. This proposed algorithm is expected to improve the quality of SR without any user intervention.

The baseline distribution of a structure represents the statistical distribution of dynamic response feature from the healthy state of the structure. Generally, damage-sensitive dynamic response feature of a structure manifest themselves near the tail of a baseline statistical distribution. In this regard, some researchers have paid attention to extreme value distribution for modeling the tail of a baseline distribution. However, few researches have been conducted to theoretically understand the extreme value distribution from a perspective of statistical damage assessment. This study investigates the asymptotic convergence of domain of attraction in extreme value distribution through parameter estimation, which is needed for reliable statistical damage assessment. In particular, the asymptotic convergence of a domain of attraction is quantified with respect to the sample size out of which each extreme value is extracted. The effect of the sample size on false positive alarms in statistical damage assessment is quantitatively investigated as well. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerically simulated acceleration data on a two span continuous truss bridge.

The objective of this research is to empirically analyze the impact of contents update or patch service in online game, being provided after delivery to correct faults and to improve performance of the game. Regression analysis is applied to the data set, where the weekly increase rate of playing times is dependant variable, and the time(week) and two types of contents updates are introduced as independent variables. Statistical results show that the time(week) negatively influences the weekly increase rate of playing times. But the impact of new contents generation and contents adjustment on the weekly increase rate of playing times is not statistically significant, implying that once online game is published, contents update has no significant impact on the playing times. Implications for game designs are provided as a conclusion.

이미 학습된 다층퍼셉트론 신경망을 디지털 VLSI 기술을 사용하여 하드웨어로 구현할 경우 신경망의 가중치 및 뉴런 출력들을 양자화해야 하는 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 신경망 변수들의 양자화는 결과적으로 주어진 입력에 대한 신경망의 최종 출력에서의 왜곡을 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 이러한 양자화로 인한 신경망 출력에서의 왜곡을 통계적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면 입력패턴 각 성분의 제곱들의 합과 가중치의 크기들이 양자화 영향에 주로 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석 결과를 이용하여 양자화를 위한 정밀도가 주어졌을 때, 양자화 영향이 최소화된 다층퍼셉트론 신경망을 설계하는 방법을 제시하였다. 그리고 제안된 방법에 의해 얻은 신경망과 오류역전파 학습방법에 의하여 얻은 신경망의 성능을 비교함으로써 제안된 방법의 효율성을 입증하였다. 실험결과는 낮은 양자화 정밀도에서도 제안된 방법이 더 좋은 성능을 보였다.Abstract When we implement a multilayer perceptron with the digital VLSI technology, we generally have to quantize the weights and the neuron outputs. These quantizations eventually cause distortion in the output of the network for a given input. In this paper first we made a statistical analysis about the effect caused by the quantization on the output of the network. The analysis revealed that the sum of the squared input components and the sizes of the weights are the major factors which contribute to the quantization effect. We present a design method for an MLP which minimizes the quantization effect when the precision of the quantization is given. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we developed a network by our method and compared it with the one developed by the regular backpropagation. We could confirm that the network developed by our method performs better even with a low precision of the quantization.
