  • In this study, we attempt to improve analytical methods in auditing by applying Artificial Intelligence(AI) methods including Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) and Case-Based Reasoning(CBR), and to perform pattern recognition of the investigation signals generated by analytical procedures. Five years of audited financial data from a large-sized firm were used to calculate four commonly applied financial ratios. This exploratory study shows that the use of AI methods to analyze patterns of related fluctuations across numerous financial ratios provides improved performance in recognizing material misstatements within the financial accounts.

  • The Joint Bayesian[1] method was published in 2012. Since then, it has been used for binary classification in almost all state-of-the-art face recognition methods. However, no improved methods have been published so far except 2D-JB[2]. In this paper we propose an improved version of the JB method that considers the features of both the given face image and its mirror image. In pattern classification, it is very likely to make a mistake when the value of the decision function is close to the decision boundary or the threshold. By making the value of the decision function far from the decision boundary, the proposed method reduces the errors. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the JB and 2D-JB methods by more than 1% in the challenging LFW DB. Many state-of-the-art methods required tons of training data to improve 1% in the LFW DB, but the proposed method can make it in an easy way.

  • Vehicle License Plate Recognition is one of the approaches for transportation and traffic safety networks, such as traffic control, speed limit enforcement and runaway vehicle tracking. Although it has been studied for decades, it is attracting more and more attention due to the recent development of deep learning and improved performance. Also, it is largely divided into license plate detection and recognition. In this study, experiments were conducted to improve license plate detection performance by utilizing various object detection methods and WPOD-Net(Warped Planar Object Detection Network) model. The accuracy was improved by selecting the method of detecting the vehicle(s) and then detecting the license plate(s) instead of the conventional method of detecting the license plate using the object detection model. In particular, the final performance was improved through the process of removing noise existing in the image by using the Fast-SRGAN model, one of the Super-Resolution methods. As a result, this experiment showed the performance has improved an average of 4.34% from 92.38% to 96.72% compared to previous studies.

  • One of the representative methods of optical flow is a gradient method which estimates the movement of an object based on the differential of image brightness. However, the method is ineffective for large displacement of the object and many improved methods have been proposed to copy with such limitations. One of these improved techniques is the multigrid processing, which is used in many optical flow algorithms. As an alternative novel technique we have been proposing an orthogonal functional expansion method, where whole displacements are expanded from low frequency terms. This method is expected to be applicable to flow estimation with large displacement and deformation including expansion and contraction, which are difficult to cope with by conventional optical flow methods. In the orthogonal functional expansion method, the apparent displacement field is calculated iteratively by a projection method which utilizes derivatives of the invariant constraint equations of brightness constancy. One feature of this method is that differentiation of the input image is not necessary, thereby reducing sensitivity to noise. In this paper, we apply our method to several real images in which the objects undergo large displacement and/or deformation including expansion. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the orthogonal functional expansion method by comparing with conventional methods including our optimally scaled multigrid optical flow algorithm.

  • A clear overlay appliance is a type of a removable appliance made from transparent thermoplastic plastic film that covers the entire dentition to move the teeth. It is one of the most favored orthodontic methods opted for by adult patients; this treatment is esthetic, does not cause discomfort and allows oral hygiene to be easily managed when compared to other conventional fixed treatment methods. However, the use of clear overlay appliances, such as invisalign or clear aligner, is associated with various clinical challenges. In particular, the appliances require longer treatment periods compared to fixed treatment, and due to the structural characteristics of the appliances, it is difficult to make proper posterior occlusion and certain type of tooth movement, including extrusion, rotation and tip. Thus, the clear overlay appliances are regarded as supplementary appliances by most orthodontists and have been used for simple orthodontic treatments, such as partial anterior alignments or orthodontic relapse cases. Owing to the remarkable advancement in the field of 3D digital technology over a period of 15 years, the accuracy and convenience of modern clear overlay appliances have continuously improved. Moreover, orthodontic outcomes have also been greatly improved by the introduction of new materials and successful application of various biomechanical methods from conventional orthodontic treatments in the design of clear overlay appliances. This study investigates the clinical limitations that should be considered during the application of clear overlay appliances and also examines the efforts and methods used to overcome these challenges.

  • Data mining technology is frequently used in identifying the intention of users over a variety of information contexts. Since relevant terms are mainly hidden in text data, it is necessary to extract them. Quantification is required in order to interpret user preference in association with other structured data. This paper proposes rating and comments mining to identify user priority and obtain improved ratings. Structured data (location and rating) and unstructured data (comments) are collected and priority is derived by analyzing statistics and employing TF-IDF. In addition, the improved ratings are generated by applying priority categories based on materialized ratings through Sentiment-Oriented Point-wise Mutual Information (SO-PMI)-based emotion analysis. In this paper, an experiment was carried out by collecting ratings and comments on "place" and by applying them. We confirmed that the proposed mining method is 1.2 times better than the conventional methods that do not reflect priorities and that the performance is improved to almost 2 times when the number to be predicted is small.

  • We have made an improved catalog of O-rich AGB stars in our Galaxy from the sources listed in the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) point source catalog (PSC). We compile the lists of previous works with various verifying processes. We have removed 115 stars from the previous catalog of Suh & Kwon (2009) and added 958 more stars. The improved catalog contains 3036 O-rich AGB stars. The content of the revised catalog can be divided into 3 groups based on the verifying processes: OH/IR stars, SiO maser stars, and other detecting methods. We compare the new catalog with the previous catalog on the infrared two-color diagrams for the large sample of O-rich AGB stars. And we discuss differences among the 3 groups of the improved catalog and identification processes of some stars in exceptive cases.
