Recently, studies have been conducted on intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that provide safety and convenience to humans. Systems that compose the ITS adopt architectures that applied the cloud computing which consists of a high-performance general-purpose processor or graphics processing unit. However, an architecture that only used the cloud computing requires a high network bandwidth and consumes much power. Therefore, applying edge computing to ITS is essential for solving these problems. In this paper, we propose an edge artificial intelligence (AI) device based ITS. Edge AI which is applicable to various systems in ITS has been applied to license plate recognition. We implemented edge AI on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The accuracy of the edge AI for license plate recognition was 0.94. Finally, we synthesized the edge AI logic with Magnachip/Hynix 180nm CMOS technology and the power consumption measured using the Synopsys's design compiler tool was 482.583mW.

With the advancement of information and communication technology (ICT), the use of electronic document types such as PDF, MS Office, and HWP files has increased. Such trend has led the cyber attackers increasingly try to spread malicious documents through e-mails and messengers. To counter such attacks, AI-based methodologies have been actively employed in order to detect malicious document files. The main challenge in detecting malicious HWP(Hangul Word Processor) files is the lack of quality dataset due to its usage is limited in Korea, compared to PDF and MS-Office files that are highly being utilized worldwide. To address this limitation, data augmentation have been proposed to diversify training data by transforming existing dataset, but as the usefulness of the augmented data is not evaluated, augmented data could end up harming model's performance. In this paper, we propose an effective semi-supervised learning technique in detecting malicious HWP document files, which improves overall AI model performance via quantifying the utility of augmented data and filtering out useless training data.

Recently, FPGA-based AI processors are being studied actively. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) are basic computational structures performed by AI processors and require a very large amount of multiplication. Considering that the multiplication coefficients used in CNN inference operation are all constants and that an FPGA is easy to design a multiplier tailored to a specific coefficient, this paper proposes a methodology to optimize the multiplier. The method utilizes 2's complement and distributive law to minimize the number of bits with a value of 1 in a multiplication coefficient, and thereby reduces the number of required stacked adders. As a result of applying this method to the actual example of implementing CNN in FPGA, the logic usage is reduced by up to 30.2% and the propagation delay is also reduced by up to 22%. Even when implemented with an ASIC chip, the hardware area is reduced by up to 35% and the delay is reduced by up to 19.2%.

A power meter is an instrument for measuring in watts the power flowing in a electric equipment. Since the value which a conventional power meter measures is analog, the power meter is hard to determine a phase difference between the voltage and current for a inductive load. The phase difference causes a loss of electric power and a increase of power-line load. In this paper, we propose a digital power meter using TI's DSP(Digital Singnal Processor) TMS320C5x, which is employed to calculate the phase difference and more accurate power consumption.

The biggest type of behavior that prevents people with developmental disabilities from entering society is aggressive behavior. Aggressive behavior can pose a threat not only to the personal safety of the person with a developmental disability, but also to the physical safety of others. In this study, we propose a wearable system using a low-power processor. The proposed system uses an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to analyze user behavior, and when attack behavior is not detected for a certain period of time through an LED array attached to the developed system, an interesting LED is displayed. By expressing patterns, we provide behavioral intervention through compensation to people with developmental disabilities. In order to implement a system that must be worn for a long time in a power-limited environment, we present a method to optimize performance and energy consumption across all stages, from data preprocessing to AI model application.

In this paper, we present a design method for improving the linearity and dynamic range of the analog current mode multiplier circuit, which is one of the key devices in an analog current mode AI processor. The proposed circuit consists of 4 quadrant translinear loops made up of NMOS transistors only, which minimizes physical mismatches of the transistors. The proposed circuit can be implemented at 117㎛ × 109㎛ in 0.35㎛ CMOS process and has a total harmonic distortion of 0.3%. The proposed analog current mode multiplier is expected to be useful as the core circuit of a current mode AI processor.

자동 음성 인식 (Automatic Speech Recognition) 기술이 발달함에 따라 자동 음성 인식 시스템의 성능을 높이기 위한 방법 중 하나로 자동 후처리기 연구(automatic post-processor)가 진행되어 왔다. 후처리기를 훈련시키기 위해서는 오류 유형이 포함되어 있는 병렬 말뭉치가 필요하다. 이를 만드는 간단한 방법 중 하나는 정답 문장에 오류를 삽입하여 오류 문장을 생성하여 pseudo 병렬 말뭉치를 만드는 것이다. 하지만 이는 실제적인 오류가 아닐 가능성이 존재한다. 이를 완화시키기 위하여 Back TranScription (BTS)을 이용하여 후처리기 모델 훈련을 위한 병렬 말뭉치를 생성하는 방법론이 존재한다. 그러나 해당 방법론으로 생성 할 경우 노이즈가 적을 수 있다는 관점이 존재하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 BTS 방법론과 인위적으로 노이즈 강도를 추가한 방법론 간의 성능을 비교한다. 이를 통해 BTS의 정량적 성능이 가장 높은 것을 확인했을 뿐만 아니라 정성적 분석을 통해 BTS 방법론을 활용하였을 때 실제 음성 인식 상황에서 발생할 수 있는 실제적인 오류를 더 많이 포함하여 병렬 말뭉치를 생성할 수 있음을 보여준다.

With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, solutions that apply AI technology are being actively developed. Since 2017, the introduction of business automation solutions using AI-based Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has begun in the financial sector and insurance companies, and recently, it is entering a time when it spreads past the stage of introducing RPA solutions. Among the business automation using these RPA solutions, it is very important how accurately textual information in the document is recognized for business automation using various documents. Such character recognition has recently increased its accuracy by introducing deep learning technology, but there is still no recognition model with perfect recognition accuracy. Therefore, in this paper, we checked how much accuracy is improved when pre- and post-processor technologies are applied to deep learning-based character recognition engines, and implemented RPA recognition engines and linkage technologies.
