Structural design has an imperative role in deciding the failure possibility of a Reinforced Concrete (RC) structure. Recent research works achieved the goal of predicting the structural failure of the RC structure with the assistance of machine learning techniques. Previously, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been trained supported by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to classify RC structures with reasonable accuracy. Though, keeping in mind the sensitivity in predicting the structural failure, more accurate models are still absent in the context of Machine Learning. Since the efficiency of multi-objective optimization over single objective optimization techniques is well established. Thus, the motivation of the current work is to employ a Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) to train the Neural Network (NN) based model. In the present work, the NN has been trained with MOGA to minimize the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Maximum Error (ME) toward optimizing the weight vector of the NN. The model has been tested by using a dataset consisting of 150 RC structure buildings. The proposed NN-MOGA based model has been compared with Multi-layer perceptron-feed-forward network (MLP-FFN) and NN-PSO based models in terms of several performance metrics. Experimental results suggested that the NN-MOGA has outperformed other existing well known classifiers with a reasonable improvement over them. Meanwhile, the proposed NN-MOGA achieved the superior accuracy of 93.33% and F-measure of 94.44%, which is superior to the other classifiers in the present study.

대용량 데이터를 분석하기 위한 맵리듀스 기반 k-NN 조인 질의처리 알고리즘은 최근 데이터 마이닝 및 분석을 기반으로 하는 응용 분야에서 매우 중요하게 활용되고 있다. 그러나, 대표적인 연구인 보로노이 기반 k-NN 조인 질의처리 알고리즘은 보로노이 인덱스 구축 비용이 매우 크기 때문에 대용량 데이터에 적합하지 못하다. 아울러 보로노이 셀 정보를 저장하기 위해 사용하는 R-트리는 맵리듀스 환경의 분산 병렬 처리에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 새로운 그리드 인덱스 기반의 k-NN 조인 질의 처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 첫째, 높은 인덱스 구축 비용 문제를 해결하기 위해, 데이터 분포를 고려한 동적 그리드 인덱스 생성 기법을 제안한다. 둘째, 맵리듀스 환경에서 효율적으로 k-NN 조인 질의를 수행하기 위해, 인접셀 정보를 시그니처로 활용하는 후보영역 탐색 및 필터링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 마지막으로 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 기법이 질의 처리 시간 측면에서 기존 기법에 비해 최대 3배 높은 질의 처리 성능을 나타냄을 보인다.

Nelumbo nucifera(NN) is a oriental medicinal herb which has been used traditionally for the treatment of antidiarrhea, sedative action and various brain diseases including convulsion and epilepsy. In order to examine the mechanism of anticonvulsive effect, we treated the methanol extract of NN(100, 200 mg/kg, P.0) to the sleeping time and pentylenetetrazole(PTZ)-induced convulsive mice. The methanol extract of NN prolonged sleep time by pentobarbital. Methanol extracts of NN were not effected the concentration of GABA and GABA-T activity in the brain of PTZ-induced mice. Methanol extracts of NN significantly inhibited the convulsion state as well as the level of lipid peroxidation in the brain. The butanol and dichloromethane fraction of methanol extracts among the others effectively inhibited in vitro lipid peroxidation dose dependently($5.0{\times}10^{-6}\sim2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;g/ml$). These results suggest that the anticonvulsive effect of NN is possibly due to the antioxidative effects of the free radical formation at brain for the PTZ-induced convulsion if it were by due to generating system.

In this paper, we formulate an optimal control problem to obtain the optimal signal strength and detection threshold for tracking with NN filter, First, we predict the tracking performance of NN filter by using the HYCA method. Based on this method, the predicted tracking performance is represented with respect to signal strength and detection threshold. Using this relation, we find the optimal parameters for following three examples： 1) the sequence of optimal detection threshold which minimizes sum of position estimation error； 2) the sequence of optimal detection threshold which minimizes sum of validation gate volume； and 3) the sequence of optimal signal strength and detection threshold which minimizes sum of signal strength.

The paper describes a study about effects of upstream hills on design wind loads using two mathematical approaches: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Artificial Neural Network (NN for short). For this purpose CFD and NN tools have been developed using an object-oriented approach and C++ programming language. The CFD tool consists of solving the Reynolds time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model using body-fitted nearly-orthogonal coordinate system. Subsequently, design wind load parameters such as speed-up ratio values have been generated for a wide spectrum of two-dimensional hill geometries that includes isolated and multiple steep and shallow hills. Ground roughness effect has also been considered. Such CFD solutions, however, normally require among other things ample computational time, background knowledge and high-capacity hardware. To assist the enduser, an easier, faster and more inexpensive NN model trained with the CFD-generated data is proposed in this paper. Prior to using the CFD data for training purposes, extensive validation work has been carried out by comparing with boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) data. The CFD trained NN (CFD-NN) has produced speed-up ratio values for cases such as multiple hills that are not covered by wind design standards such as the Commentaries of the National Building Code of Canada (1995). The CFD-NN results compare well with BLWT data available in literature and the proposed approach requires fewer resources compared to running BLWT experiments.

Nearest neighbor algorithms classify an unseen input instance by selecting similar cases and use the discovered membership to make predictions about the unknown features of the input instance. The usefulness of the nearest neighbor algorithms have been demonstrated sufficiently in many real-world domains. In nearest neighbor algorithms, it is an important issue to assign proper weights to the attributes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new method which can automatically assigns to each attribute a weight of its importance with respect to the target attribute. The method has been implemented as a computer program and its effectiveness has been tested on a number of machine learning databases publicly available.

Spatial database system provides many query types and most of them are required frequent disk I/O and much CPU time. k-NN search is to find k-th closest object from the query point and up to now, several k-NN search methods have been proposed. Among these, MINMAX distance method has an aim not to visit unnecessary node by applying pruning technique. But this method access more disk than necessary while pruning unnecessary node. In this paper, we propose new k-NN search algorithm based on density of object. With this method, we predict the radius to be expected to contain k-NN object using density of data set and search those objects within this radius and then adjust radius if failed. Experimental results show that this method outperforms the previous MINMAX distance method. This algorithm visit fewer disks than MINMAX method by the factor of maximum $22\%\;and\;average\;6\%.$

Traditional machine learning based emotion analysis methods such as Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor classification (kNN) are less accurate. In this paper, we propose an improved kNN classification method. Improved methods and data normalization achieve the goal of improving accuracy. Then, three classification algorithms and an improved algorithm were compared based on experimental data.

추계학적 시계열 분석은 크게 수문자료의 장기간 합성과 실시간 예측으로 구분해 볼 수 있다. 장기간 합성은 주로 수문자료의 추계적 특성을 반영한 수자원 시스템의 운영율 개발에 이용되어 왔다. 반면에 실시간 예측은 수자원 시스템의 순응적(adaptive) 관리에 적용되고 있다. 두 개념의 차이로 전자는 시계열 자료를 합성하여 발생 가능한 모든 수문조합을 얻고자 하는 것이라면 후자는 전 시간의 수문량을 조건으로 하는 다음 시간의 값을 순응적으로 예측하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 수문자료의 합성과 예측에는 크게 결정론적, 확률론적 방법의 두 가지 대별될 수 있다. 결정론적 모델링 방법에는 인공신경망이나 Fuzzy 기법 등을 이용할 수 있으며, 확률론적 방법에는 ARMAX 등의 모수적 기법과 k-NN(k-nearest neighbor bootstrap resampling), KDE(kernel density estimates), 추계학적 인공신경망 등의 비모수적 기법으로 분류할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대표적 비모수적 기법인 k-NN를 이용하여 충주댐을 대상으로 월 및 일 유입량 자료의 예측 정도를 살펴보았다. 전 시간 관측치를 조건으로 하는 다음 시간의 조건부 확률분포를 구하여 평균값을 계산한 후 관측치와 비교함으로써 모형의 정도를 살펴보았다. 그리고 실시간 저수지 운영에 이 기법의 활용성과 장단점도 살펴보았다. 모형개발 절차로 모형의 보정을 거쳐 검증을 실시하였다. 결론적으로 월 및 일 유입량 예측에 k-NN 기법이 실무적으로 적용될 수 있었으며, 장점으로는 k-NN 기법이 다른 기법보다 모델링 절차가 비교적 쉬워 저수지 운영 최적화 등 타 시스템과의 연계에 수월함이 인식되었다.

Recently there has been much interest in applying data mining to computer network intrusion detection. A new approach, based on the k-Nearest Neighbour(kNN) classifier, is used to classify Program behaviour as normal or intrusive. Each system call is treated as a word and the collection of system calls over each program execution as a document. These documents are then classified using kNN classifier, a Popular method in text mining. A simple example illustrates the proposed procedure.
