The use of waste rubber in concrete can reduce natural aggregate consumption and improve some technical properties of concrete. Although there are several equations for estimating the mechanical properties of concrete containing waste rubber, limited numbers of machine learning-based models have been proposed to predict the mechanical properties of rubbercrete. In this study, an extensive database of the mechanical properties of rubbercrete was gathered from a comprehensive survey of the literature. To model the mechanical properties of rubbercrete, M5P tree and linear gene expression programming (LGEP) methods as two machine learning techniques were employed to achieve reliable mathematical equations. Two procedures of input variable selection were considered in this study. The crucial component ratios of rubbercrete and concrete age were assumed as the input variables in the first procedure. In contrast, the volumes of the coarse and fine waste rubber and the compressive strength of concrete without waste rubber were considered the second procedure of the input variables. The results show that the models obtained by LGEP are more accurate than those achieved by the M5P model tree and existing traditional equations. Besides, the volumes of the coarse and fine waste rubber and the compressive strength of concrete without waste rubber are better predictors of the mechanical properties of rubbercrete compared to the first procedure of input variable selection.

We study the problem of multiple response optimization (MRO) and focus on the selection of input levels which will produce desirable output quality. We propose an interactive multiple objective optimization approach to the input design. The earlier interactive methods utilized for MRO communicate with the decision maker only using the response variable values, in order to improve the current response values, thereby resulting in the corresponding design solution automatically. In their interaction steps of preference articulation, no account is taken of any active changes in design variable values. On the contrary, our approach permits the decision maker to change the design variable values in its interaction stage, which makes possible the consideration of the preference or economics of the design variable side. Using some typical value functions, we also demonstrate that our method converges reasonably well to the known optimal solutions.

H-SVM은 입력변수들이 그룹화 되어 있는 경우 분류함수의 추정에서 그룹 및 그룹 내의 변수선택을 동시에 할 수 있는 방법론이다. 그러나 H-SVM은 입력변수들의 중요도에 상관없이 모든 변수들을 동일하게 축소 추정하기 때문에 추정의 효율성이 감소될 수 있다. 또한, 집단별 개체수가 상이한 불균형 자료의 분류분석에서는 분류함수가 편향되어 추정되므로 소수집단의 예측력이 하락할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 보완하기 위해 본 논문에서는 적응적 조율모수를 사용하여 변수선택의 성능을 개선하고 집단별 오분류 비용을 차등적으로 부여하는 WAH-SVM을 제안하였다. 또한, 모의실험과 실제자료 분석을 통하여 제안한 모형과 기존 방법론들의 성능 비교하였으며, 제안한 모형의 유용성과 활용 가능성 확인하였다.

DD(Decision Diagrams) is an efficient operational data structure for an optimal expression of boolean functions. In a graph-based synthesis using DD, the goal of optimization decreases representation space for boolean functions. This paper represents boolean functions using OPKFDD(Ordered Pseudo-Kronecker Functional Decision Diagrams) for a graph-based synthesis and is based on the number of nodes as the criterion of DD size. For a property of OPKFDD that is able to select one of different decomposition types for each node, OPKFDD is variable in its size by the decomposition types selection of each node and input variable order. This paper proposes a method for generating OPKFDD efficiently from the current BDD(Binary Decision Diagram) Data structure and an algorithm for minimizing one. In the multiple output functions, the relations of each function affect the number of nodes of OPKFDD. Therefore this paper proposes a method to decide the input variable order considering the above cases. Experimental results of comparing with the current representation methods and the reordering methods for deciding input variable order are shown.

This paper demonstrates OFDM with adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. We apply an optimization algorithm to obtain a bit and power allocation for each subcarrier assuming instantaneous channel knowledge. The analysis and simulation is considered in two stages. The first stage involves the application of a variable-rate variable-power MQAM technique for a Single-Input Single-Output(SISO) OFDM system. This is compared with the performance of fixed OFDM transmission where a constant rate is applied to each subcarrier. The second stage applies adaptive modulation to a general MIMO system by making use of the Singular Value Decomposition to separate the MIMO channel into parallel subchannels. For a two-input antenna, two-output antenna system, the performance is compared with the performance of a system using selection diversity at the transmitter and maximal ratio combining at the receiver.

In this paper, an adaptive observe based upon the exponentially weighted least-squares method is implemented in the design of a model reference adaptive controller for an unknown time-invariant discrete single-input single-output linear plant. A method of selecting the state variable filter is proposed. In this scheme, all the past data are weithted exponentially with the weighting coefficient.

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is a powerful tool for addressing various practical problems and it has been extensively applied in areas of water resources. In this study, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were developed for flood forecasting at specific locations on the Han River. The Partial Mutual Information (PMI) technique was used to select input variables for ANNs that are neither over-specified nor under-specified while adequately describing the underlying input-output relationships. Historical observations including discharges at the Paldang Dam, flows from tributaries, water levels at the Paldang Bridge, Banpo Bridge, Hangang Bridge, and Junryu gauge station, and time derivatives of the observed water levels were considered as input candidates. Lagged variables from current time t to the previous five hours were assumed to be sufficient in this study. A three-layer neural network with one hidden layer was used and the neural network was optimized by selecting the optimal number of hidden neurons given the selected inputs. Given an ANN architecture, the weights and biases of the network were determined in the model training. The use of PMI-based input variable selection and optimized ANNs for different sites were proven to successfully predict water levels during flood periods.

Forecasting of electricity demand have difficulty in adapting to abrupt weather changes along with a radical shift in major regional and global climates. This has lead to increasing attention to research on the immediate and accurate forecasting model. Technically, this implies that a model requires only a few input variables all of which are easily obtainable, and its predictive performance is comparable with other competing models. To meet the ends, this paper presents an energy demand forecasting model that uses the variable selection or extraction methods of data mining to select only relevant input variables, and employs support vector regression method for accurate prediction. Also, it proposes a novel performance measure for time-series prediction, shift index, followed by description on preprocessing procedure. A comparative evaluation of the proposed method with other representative data mining models such as an auto-regression model, an artificial neural network model, an ordinary support vector regression model was carried out for obtaining the forecast of monthly electricity demand from 2000 to 2008 based on data provided by Korea Energy Economics Institute. Among the models tested, the proposed method was shown promising results than others.

This letter proposes a reconfigurable directional coupler that uses a variable impedance mismatch reflector to achieve high isolation characteristics in the antenna front end. The reconfigurable coupler consists of a directional coupler and a single-pole four-throw (SP4T) switch with different load impedances as a variable load mismatch reflector. Selection of the load impedance by the reflector allows cancellation of the reflected signal due to antenna load mismatch and the leakage from the input to isolation port of the directional coupler, resulting in high isolation characteristics. The performance of the proposed architecture in separating the received (Rx) signal from the transmitted (Tx) signal in the antenna front end was verified by implementing and testing the reconfigurable coupler at 917 MHz for UHF radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications. The proposed reconfigurable directional coupler showed an improvement in the isolation characteristics of more than 20 dB at the operation frequency band.

단순 베이즈 분류($Na{\ddot{i}}ve$ Bayes classification)는 출력변수가 주어졌을 때 입력변수들이 조건부 독립이라는 가정에 기반한다. 단순 베이즈 가정은 비현실적이지만 고차원의 확률 추정 문제를 일련의 일차원 확률 추정 문제로 단순화 시킨다는 장점이 있으며, 특히 스팸 메일 필터링, 추천 시스템(recommendation system) 등 방대한 데이터를 다루는 분야야에서 흔히 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 입력변수와 출력변수간의 카이제곱 통계량에 기반한 변수선택법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 단순 베이즈 분류의 장점인 데이터 처리 및 계산의 단순성을 유지하면서도 설명력이 있는 변수를 선택할 수 있으며 SNP(single nucleotide polymorphism)에 의한 질병의 분류 등의 초고차원 혹은 빅데이터에서 유용할 것으로 기대된다.
