The corporate credit rating represents an assessment of the relative level of risk associated with the timely payments required by the debt obligation. In this study, the corporate credit rating model employs artificial intelligence methods including Neural Network (NN) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). At first we suggest three classification models, as partitioned neural networks, all of which convert multi-group classification problems into two group classification ones: Ordinal Pairwise Partitioning (OPP) model, binary classification model and simple classification model. The experimental results show that the partitioned NN outperformed the conventional NN. In addition, we put to use CBR that is widely used recently as a problem-solving and learning tool both in academic and business areas. With an advantage of the easiness in model design compared to a NN model, the CBR model proves itself to have good classification capability through the highest hit ratio in the corporate credit rating.

We have compared near-real time Kp forecast models based on neural network (NN) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms. We consider four models as follows: (1) a NN model using ACE solar wind data; (2) a SVM model using ACE solar wind data; (3) a NN model using ACE solar wind data and preliminary kp values from US ground-based magnetometers; (4) a SVM model using the same input data as model 3. For the comparison of these models, we estimate correlation coefficients and RMS errors between the observed Kp and the predicted Kp. As a result, we found that the model 3 is better than the other models. The values of correlation coefficients and RMS error of the model 3 are 0.93 and 0.48, respectively. For the forecast evaluation of models for geomagnetic storms ($Kp{\geq}6$), we present contingency tables and estimate statistical parameters such as probability of detection yes (PODy), false alarm ratio (FAR), bias, and critical success index (CSI). From a comparison of these statistical parameters, we found that the SVM models (model 2 and model 4) are better than the NN models (model 1 and model 3). The values of PODy and CSI of the model 4 are the highest among these models (PODy: 0.57 and CSI: 0.48). From these results, we suggest that the NN models are better than the SVM models for predicting Kp and the SVM models are better than the NN models for forecasting geomagnetic storms.

목재의 결점은 생장과정에서 또는 가공 중에 다양한 형태로 발생한다. 따라서 목재를 이용하기 위해서는 목재의 결점을 정확하게 분류하여 용도에 맞는 목재 품질을 객관적으로 평가할 필요가 있다. 하지만 사람에 의한 등급구분과 수종구분은 주관적 판단에 의해 차이가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 목재 품질의 객관적 평가 및 목재 생산의 고속화를 위해서는 컴퓨터 비전을 활용한 화상분석 자동화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 SIFT+k-NN 모델과 CNN 모델을 통해 옹이의 종류를 자동으로 구분하는 모델을 구현하고 그 정확성을 분석해보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 다섯 가지 국산 침엽수종으로부터 다양한 형태의 옹이 이미지 1,172개를 획득하여 학습 및 검증에 사용하였다. SIFT+k-NN 모델의 경우, SIFT 기술을 이용하여 옹이 이미지에서 특성을 추출한 뒤, k-NN을 이용하여 분류를 진행하였으며, 최대 60.53%의 정확도로 분류가 가능하였다. 이 때 k-index는 17이었다. CNN 모델의 경우, 8층의 convolution layer와 3층의 hidden layer로 구성되어있는 모델을 사용하였으며, 정확도의 최대값은 1205 epoch에서 88.09%로 나타나 SIFT+k-NN 모델보다 높은 결과를 보였다. 또한 옹이의 종류별 이미지 개수 차이가 큰 경우, SIFT+k-NN 모델은 비율이 높은 옹이 종류로 편향되어 학습되는 결과를 보였지만, CNN 모델은 이미지 개수의 차이에도 편향이 심하지 않아 옹이 분류에 있어 더 좋은 성능을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 CNN 모델을 이용한 목재 옹이의 분류는 실용가능성에 있어 충분한 정확도를 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

This article focuses on stability analysis and fuzzy controller synthesis for large neural network (NN) systems consisting of several interconnected subsystems represented by the NN model. Advanced and fuzzy NN differential inclusion (NNDI) for stability based on the developed algorithm with H infinity can be designed based on the evolved biological design. This representation is constructed using sector linearity for NN models. Sector linearity transforms a non-linear model into a linear model based on proposed operations. New sufficient conditions are realized in the form of LMI (linear matrix inequalities) to ensure the asymptotic stability of the trans-Lyapunov function. This transforms the nonlinear model into a linear model based on multiple rules. At last, a numerical case study with simulations is derived as illustration to prove its feasibility in real nonlinear structures.

In this study, a neural network (NN) modeling approach has been used to predict the mechanical and geometrical behaviors of mouse embryo cells. Two NN models have been implemented. In the first NN model dimple depth (w), dimple radius (a) and radius of the semi-circular curved surface of the cell (R) were used as inputs of the model while indentation force (f) was considered as output. In the second NN model, indentation force (f), dimple radius (a) and radius of the semi-circular curved surface of the cell (R) were considered as inputs of the model and dimple depth was predicted as the output of the model. In addition, sensitivity analysis has been carried out to investigate the influence of the significance of input parameters on the mechanical behavior of mouse embryos. Experimental data deduced by Fl$\ddot{u}$ckiger (2004) were collected to obtain training and test data for the NN. The results of these investigations show that the correlation values of the test and training data sets are between 0.9988 and 1.0000, and are in good agreement with the experimental observations.

대기 중 온실가스 증가로 인한 지구온난화의 영향으로 각종 자연 재해가 증가하면서, 온실가스에서 가장 큰 비율을 차지하는 이산화탄소의 자연 포집지인 산림이 저장하고 있는 탄소량을 추정하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 하지만 국내 지역의 환경에 적합한 탄소저장량 추정 기법 및 자료 선정에 대한 연구는 아직 부족한 상황으로, 이에 대한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전 세계적으로 탄소저장량 추정에 보편적으로 이용되고 있는 회귀 모델과 $k$NN($k$-Nearest Neighbor) 알고리즘을 이용하여 충청북도 단양군을 대상으로 산림이 저장하고 있는 탄소 저장량을 추정하고 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 연구 자료로써 Landsat TM 영상과 제5차 NFI(National Forest Inventory) 자료를 이용하였으며, 지형효과 보정 및 식생 구분에 특화된 다양한 비율영상을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 단양군의 탄소저장량 추정에는 회귀 모델보다 $k$NN 알고리즘을 이용하는 것이 더 유리하며, 비율영상의 경우 정확도 향상에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

지반의 응력이력을 정의하는데 이용되는 선행압밀하중은 일반적으로 일차원 실내압밀실험으로부터 결정되어져 왔으나 피에조콘과 같은 원위치 시험의 관측값을 이용한 이론적인 방법과 경험적인 상관관계를 통한 결정도 가능하다. 최근 선행압밀하중을 결정하기 위한 인공신경망 모델들이 제안된 바 있으며, 기존의 이론적 경험적 선행압밀하중 추정 방법들이 갖는 지역의존성의 문제를 극복하고 예측 정확도 면에서도 크게 개선된 것으로 보고되었다. 그러나 인공신경망 모델은 모델구조와 학습과정에서 초기에 무작위로 부여되는 연결강도에 영향을 받아 예측에 변동성이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 피에조콘 결과를 이용한 선행압밀하중 추정 인공신경망 모델이 연약지반에서 선행압밀하중 예측 시 보이는 변동성을 개선하기 위하여 신경망 모델의 구조 최적화를 수행하고 군집신경망 모델을 구축하였다. 제안된 군집신경망 모델을 이용한 예측결과는 기존의 다층신경망 모델 및 이론적 경험적 모델들과 비교되었다. 연구결과, 최적화된 구조를 갖는 다층신경망 모델일지라도 초기 연결강도에 따라 최종 학습 후 예측결과의 변동성이 여전히 존재하나, 다층신경망을 네트워크로 연결하여 제안된 군집신경망 모델은 기존의 다층신경망 모델들이 갖는 초기 연결강도 의존성을 개선하여 다층신경망 모델에 비해 일관성 있으며 보다 정확한 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The paper describes the second half of the research for the development of Neural-Networks-based model for the generation of an Artificial earthquake and a Response Spectrum(NNARS). Based on the redefined traditional processes related to the generation of an earthquake acceleration response spectrum and design spectrum, four neural-networks-based models are proposed to substitute the traditional processes. RS_NN tries to directly generate acceleration response spectrum with basic data that are magnitude, epicentral distance, site conditions and focal depth. The test results of RS_NN are not good because of the characteristics of white noise, which is randomly generated. ARS_NN solve this problem by the introduction of the average concept. IARS_NN has a role to inverse the ARS_NN, so that is applied to generate a ground motion accelerogram compatible with the shape of a response spectrum. Additionally, DS_NN directly produces design spectrum with basic data. As these four neural networks are simulated as a step by step, the paper describes the methods to generate a response spectrum and a design spectrum using the neural networks.

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.

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.
