Bearings are one of the main components of mechanical equipment and one of the primary components prone to faults. Therefore, conducting fault diagnosis on bearings is a key issue in mechanical equipment research. Belief rule base (BRB) is essentially an expert system that effectively integrates qualitative and quantitative information, demonstrating excellent performance in fault diagnosis. However, class imbalance often occurs in the diagnosis task, which poses challenges to the diagnosis. Models with interpretability can enhance decision-makers' trust in the output results. However, the randomness in the optimization process can undermine interpretability, thereby reducing the level of trustworthiness in the results. Therefore, a hierarchical BRB model based on extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) feature selection with interpretability (HFS-IBRB) is proposed in this paper. Utilizing a main BRB alongside multiple sub-BRBs allows for the conversion of a multi-classification challenge into several distinct binary classification tasks, thereby leading to enhanced accuracy. By incorporating interpretability constraints into the model, interpretability is effectively ensured. Finally, the case study of the actual dataset of bearing fault diagnosis demonstrates the ability of the HFS-IBRB model to perform accurate and interpretable diagnosis.

Most of the open-source decision tree algorithms are based on three splitting criteria (Entropy, Gini Index, and Gain Ratio). Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of these three popular algorithms need to be studied more thoroughly. Comparisons of the three algorithms were mainly performed with respect to the predictive performance. In this work, we conducted a comparative experiment on the splitting criteria of three decision trees, focusing on their interpretability. Depth, homogeneity, coverage, lift, and stability were used as indicators for measuring interpretability. To measure the stability of decision trees, we present a measure of the stability of the root node and the stability of the dominating rules based on a measure of the similarity of trees. Based on 10 data collected from UCI and Kaggle, we compare the interpretability of DT (Decision Tree) algorithms based on three splitting criteria. The results show that the GR (Gain Ratio) branch-based DT algorithm performs well in terms of lift and homogeneity, while the GINI (Gini Index) and ENT (Entropy) branch-based DT algorithms performs well in terms of coverage. With respect to stability, considering both the similarity of the dominating rule or the similarity of the root node, the DT algorithm according to the ENT splitting criterion shows the best results.

Generally, the quality of satellite images is expressed by GSD (Ground Sample Distance), MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) and SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). However, these factors are technology-oriented and do not explain interpretability of satellite images. We need a standardized index which shows standard of interpretability. In this study, we estimated NIIRS (National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale) through the GIQE (General Image Quality Equation) which is able to judge image interpretability with the standardized index. Traditionally, NIIRS has been determined manually by specialized image analysts. We used the GIQE in order to reduce inefficiency and high costs cause by manual interpretation and to produce accurate NIIRS. For monitoring image degradation, we estimated GIQE physical parameters from image analysis and carried out time series analysis about the quality of the KOMPSAT-1 images. On all of the tests, we were able to identify the image degradation due to the changing time. This indicates that NIIRS derived from GIQE will be used for image degradation indicator.

퍼지신경망 모형은 인공신경망의 네트워크 구조 표현방법 및 학습알고리듬과 퍼지시스템의 추론방법을 통합한 모형으로 제어 및 예측분야에 성공적으로 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 퍼지신경망 모형 중 우수한 예측정확도로 인해 최근 각광받고 있는 ANFIS (Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System) 모형에서 생성된 퍼지규칙의 해석용이성을 평가하였다. ANFIS모형은 인간 전문가와 상호작용하면서 규칙을 정제해 나갈 수 있다. 특히 인간전문가의 사전지식을 이용하여 초기 퍼지규칙을 만들고 난 후 모형을 학습하면 최적에 수렴하는 시간을 단축할 뿐 아니라, 전역 최적치 도달가능성이 높아진다고 보고되고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 볼 때 규칙의 해석용이성은 인간 전문가와의 상호작용을 위해 매우 중요한 이슈가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ANFIS모형과 의사결정나무 모형에서 생성된 규칙을 해석용이성 관점에서 비교하기 위한 측도를 제안하고 각 규칙들을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 해석용이성 측도들은 규칙을 생성하는 다양한 기계학습 모형의 규칙생성 능력을 평가하는 기준으로도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) elastic gridshells consist of long continuous GFRP tubes that form elastic deformations. In this paper, a method for the form-finding of gridshell structures is presented based on the interpretable machine learning (ML) approaches. A comparative study is conducted on several ML algorithms, including support vector regression (SVR), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), AdaBoost, XGBoost, category boosting (CatBoost), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM). A numerical example is presented using a standard double-hump gridshell considering two characteristics of deformation as objective functions. The combination of the grid search approach and k-fold cross-validation (CV) is implemented for fine-tuning the parameters of ML models. The results of the comparative study indicate that the LightGBM model presents the highest prediction accuracy. Finally, interpretable ML approaches, including Shapely additive explanations (SHAP), partial dependence plot (PDP), and accumulated local effects (ALE), are applied to explain the predictions of the ML model since it is essential to understand the effect of various values of input parameters on objective functions. As a result of interpretability approaches, an optimum gridshell structure is obtained and new opportunities are verified for form-finding investigation of GFRP elastic gridshells during lifting construction.

NIIRS(National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale)는 영상의 판독력을 설명하는 품질 지표로 고해상도 위성영상의 품질을 나타내는데 널리 사용되어 왔다. 이는 MTF(Modulation Transfer Function), SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio), 또는 GSD(Ground Sampling Distance)와는 달리 객관적이고, 직관적으로 영상의 전반적인 품질을 설명할 수 있다는 점에서, 그 활용도가 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. NIIRS는 전문 판독가에 의해 육안으로 직접 측정되거나, 영상의 에지 분석(Edge analysis)을 통해 정확하게 추정할 수 있다. 일반적으로 에지 분석에는 품질 측정을 위해 특별히 제작된 인공의 표적이 사용된다. 이 인공표적의 일례로 특정 크기의 반사율 차이를 가지는 흑백 패턴의 천막 형태가 있으며, 이러한 인공표적은 인공위성의 촬영경로 상에 설치되어 진다. 이 때문에 인공표적을 이용하는 방식은 표적의 설치와 관련하여 많은 비용이 지출될 뿐 아니라, 수시로 수행될 수 없다는 문제점을 가지게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 영상에서 쉽게 관측될 수 있는 자연표적들로부터 정확한 NIIRS 추정이 가능한 새로운 방식의 에지 분석법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 임의의 성질을 가지는 자연표적의 특성을 반영하기 위해 알고리즘의 강인성이 강조되었으며, 다양한 실험들을 통해 성능이 평가되었다. 실험 결과는 제안 알고리즘이 기존 방식의 대안으로서 충분히 활용 가능함을 보여 주었다.

High-resolution satellite images are used in the fields of mapping, natural disaster forecasting, agriculture, ocean-based industries, infrastructure, and environment, and there is a progressive increase in the development and demand for the applications of high-resolution satellite images. Users of the satellite images desire accurate quality of the provided satellite images. Moreover, the distinguishability of each image captured by an actual satellite varies according to the atmospheric environment and solar angle at the captured region, the satellite velocity and capture angle, and the system noise. Hence , NIIRS must be measured for all captured images. There is a significant deficiency in professional human resources and time resources available to measure the NIIRS of few hundred images that are transmitted daily. Currently, NIIRS is measured every few months or even few years to assess the aging of the satellite as well as to verify and calibrate it [3]. Therefore, we develop an algorithm that can measure the national image interpretability rating scales (NIIRS) of a typical satellite image rather than an artificial target satellite image, in order to automatically assess its quality. In this study, the criteria for automatic edge region extraction are derived based on the previous works on manual edge region extraction [4][5], and consequently, we propose an algorithm that can extract the edge region. Moreover, RER and H are calculated from the extracted edge region for automatic edge region extraction. The average NIIRS value was measured to be 3.6342±0.15321 (2 standard deviations) from the automatic measurement experiment on a typical satellite image, which is similar to the result extracted from the artificial target.

An approach to construct multiple interpretable and precise fuzzy systems based on the Pareto Multi-objective Cooperative Coevolutionary Algorithm (PMOCCA) is proposed in this paper. First, a modified fuzzy clustering algorithm is used to construct antecedents of fuzzy system, and consequents are identified separately to reduce computational burden. Then, the PMOCCA and the interpretability-driven simplification techniques are executed to optimize the initial fuzzy system with three objectives: the precision performance, the number of fuzzy rules and the number of fuzzy sets; thus both the precision and the interpretability of the fuzzy systems are improved. In order to select the best individuals from each species, we generalize the NSGA-II algorithm from one species to multi-species, and propose a new non-dominated sorting technique and collaboration mechanism for cooperative coevolutionary algorithm. Finally, the proposed approach is applied to two benchmark problems, and the results show its validity.

With the fast development of artificial intelligence day by day, users are demanding explanations about the results of algorithms and want to know what parameters influence the results. In this paper, we propose a model for bankruptcy prediction with interpretability using the SHAP framework. SHAP (SHAPley Additive exPlanations) is framework that gives a visualized result that can be used for explanation and interpretation of machine learning models. As a result, we can describe which features are important for the result of our deep learning model. SHAP framework Force plot result gives us top features which are mainly reflecting overall model score. Even though Fully Connected Neural Networks are a "black box" model, Shapley values help us to alleviate the "black box" problem. FCNNs perform well with complex dataset with more than 60 financial ratios. Combined with SHAP framework, we create an effective model with understandable interpretation. Bankruptcy is a rare event, then we avoid imbalanced dataset problem with the help of SMOTE. SMOTE is one of the oversampling technique that resulting synthetic samples are generated for the minority class. It uses K-nearest neighbors algorithm for line connecting method in order to producing examples. We expect our model results assist financial analysts who are interested in forecasting bankruptcy prediction of companies in detail.

최근까지 위성 영상을 이용한 지리정보의 추출은 기존의 항공사진과 비교하여 공간 해상력의 한계로 인하여 많은 제약조건들을 지니고 있었다. 그러나, 공간 해상력이 약 1m 정도인 고해상도 위성들의 발사 계획이 앞으로의 많은 활용가능성을 제시하고 있다 최근에는, 지리정보시스템을 구축하기 위해서 그 기반이 되는 기본도의 수치화사업이 진행되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다양한 위성 영상의 해상도에 따라 지리정보의 판독과 검출가능성을 시험해보았으며 실험을 통하여 서로 다른 해상력을 지닌 6개의 영상에 대해서 6개의 범주로 나눈 46가지의 지형지물에 대한 해석과 검출가능성을 시험하여 보았다. 그 다음으로, 우리는 질감 정보의 정확도 평가를 위해 프랙탈 분석법을 시행하였다. 또한, 프랙탈 분석법을 통해서, 영상의 공간해상력이 증가할수록 질감정보와 구분가능성이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 실험결과를 통해서 본 연구에서는 특정 대상물의 판독에 적절한 공간 해상력을 검토해 봄으로써 위성 영상을 이용한 지리정보시스템 데이터베이스의 갱신 및 구축의 가능성을 제시해보고자 하였다.
