본 논문에서는 인가의 인지학적인 두뇌 원리인 대뇌피질과 해마 신경망을 공학적으로 모델링하여 얼굴 영상의 특징 벡터들을 고속 학습하고, 각 영상의 최적의 특징을 구성할 수 있는 해마 학습 알고리즘(Hippocampal Learning Algorithm)을 개발하여 RFID를 이용한 생체인식 시스템을 제안한다. 입력되는 얼굴 영상 데이터들은 NMF(Non-negative Matrix Factorization)를 이용하여 특징이 구성되고, 이러한 특징들은 해마의 치아 이랑 영역에서 호감도 조정에 따라서 반응 패턴으로 이진화 되고, CA3 영역에서 자기 연상 메모리 단계를 거쳐 노이즈를 제거한다. CA3의 정보를 받는 CA1영역에서는 단층 신경망에 의해 단기기억과 장기기억으로 나누어서 저장되고 해당 특징의 누적 개수가 문턱치(threshold)를 만족하면 장기 기억 장소로 저장시키도록 한다. 위와 같은 개념을 바탕으로 구현되는 RFID 생체인식 시스템은 특징의 분별력과 학습속도면에서 우수한 성능을 보일 수 있다.

인터넷의 발달로 인하여 정보의 양은 시간이 지날수록 폭발적으로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 방대한 정보로부터 정보검색시스템은 사용자에게 너무 많은 검색결과를 제시하여 사용자가 원하는 정보를 찾기 위해 너무 많은 시간을 소요하게 하는 정보의 과적재 문제가 있다. 질의 기반의 문서요약은 정보의 사용자가 원하는 정보의 검색시간을 줄임으로써 정보의 과적재 문제를 해결하는 방법으로서 점차 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 비음수 행렬 인수분해 (NMF, Non-negative Matrix Factorization)과 코사인 유사도를 이용하여 질의 기반의 문서를 요약하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 질의와 문서 간에 사전학습이 필요 없다. 또한 문서를 그래프로 변형시키는 복잡한 처리 없이 NMF 에 의해 얻어진 의미 특징(semantic feature)과 의미 변수(semantic variable)로 문서의 고유 구조를 반영하여 요약의 정확도를 높일 수 있다. 마지막으로 단순한 방법으로 문장을 쉽게 요약할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a new method for artificial bandwidth extension of narrow-band signal in frequency domain. In the proposed method, a narrow-band signal is decomposed into excitation signal and spectral envelope, which are extended independently in frequency domain. The excitation signal is extended such that low-band harmonic structure is maintained in high band, and the spectral envelope is extended based on sub-band energy using NMF. Finally, the spectral phase is determined based on signal correlation between frames in time domain, resulting in the final wide-band signal. The subjective evaluation verified that the wide-band signal generated by the proposed method has a higher quality than the original narrow-band signal.

The performance of face recognition methods using subspace projection is directly related to the characteristics of their basis images, especially in the cases of local distortion or partial occlusion. In order for a subspace projection method to be robust to local distortion and partial occlusion, the basis images generated by the method should exhibit a part-based local representation. We propose an effective part-based local representation method named locally salient ICA (LS-ICA) method for face recognition that is robust to local distortion and partial occlusion. The LS-ICA method only employs locally salient information from important facial parts in order to maximize the benefit of applying the idea of 'recognition by parts.' It creates part-based local basis images by imposing additional localization constraint in the process of computing ICA architecture I basis images. We have contrasted the LS-ICA method with other part-based representations such as LNMF (Localized Non-negative Matrix Factorization)and LFA (Local Feature Analysis). Experimental results show that the LS-ICA method performs better than PCA, ICA architecture I, ICA architecture II, LFA, and LNMF methods, especially in the cases of partial occlusions and local distortion

In this paper, a new document summarization method, which uses the semantic features and the pseudo relevance feedback (PRF) by using WordNet, is introduced to extract meaningful sentences relevant to a user query. The proposed method can improve the quality of document summaries because the inherent semantic of the documents are well reflected by the semantic feature from NMF. In addition, it uses the PRF by the semantic features and WordNet to reduce the semantic gap between the high level user's requirement and the low level vector representation. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance that the other methods.

Foot drop is a common symptom in stroke patients due to central nervous system (CNS) damage, which causes walking disturbances. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is an effective rehabilitation method for stroke patients with CNS damage. Aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of 6 weeks FES walking training based lower limb muscle synergy of stroke patients. Lower limb muscle synergies were extracted from electromyography (EMG) using a non-negative matrix factorization algorithm (NMF) method. Cosine similarity and cross correlation were calculated for similarity comparison with healthy subjects. In both stroke patients, the similarity of leg muscle synergy during walking changed to similar to that of healthy subjects due to a decrease in foot drop during. FES walking intervention influenced the similarity of muscle synergies during walking of stroke patients. This intervention has an effective method on foot drop and improving the gait performance of stroke patients.

There have been many studies on red tide due to increasing damage from red tide on fishing and aquaculture industry. However, internal study of automatic red tide image classification is not enough. Recognition of red tide algae is difficult because they do not have matching center features for recognizing algae image object. Previously studies used a few type of red tide algae for image classification. In this paper, we proposed the red tide image recognition method using semantic features of NMF and roundness of image objects.

When we see an object, we usually can say what it is easily even for the case where the object isn't shown in the frontal view. However, it is difficult to believe that all views of every object we have ever seen are fully memorized in our brain. Possibly, when an object is shown, we have some typical views of the object in our brain through our past experience and reconstruct the view to recognize what the presented object is. Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is one of the methods to extract the basis images from sample data set. The prominent feature of this method is that the reconstructed image is obtained by only additions of the basis images with suitable positive weights. So NMF can be seen more biologically plausible method than any other feature extraction methods such as Vector Quantization (VQ) and principal Component Analysis (PCA). In this paper, we adopt NMF to extract the aspect features from the set of images, which consists of various views of a given object. Some experiments are shown how much well NMF can extract the aspect features than any other methods such as VQ and PCA.

In this paper, we propose a document summarization method using the pseudo relevance feedback and the term weighting based on semantic features. The proposed method can minimize the user intervention to use the pseudo relevance feedback. It also can improve the quality of document summaries because the inherent semantic of the sentence set are well reflected by term weighting derived from semantic feature. In addition, it uses the semantic feature of term weighting and the expanded query to reduce the semantic gap between the user's requirement and the result of proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performant than other methods without term weighting.

This paper proposes a new document clustering method using clustering and Wikipedia. The proposed method can well represent the concept of cluster topics by means of NMF. It can solve the problem of "bags of words" to be not considered the meaningful relationships between documents and clusters, which expands the important terms of cluster by using of the synonyms of Wikipedia. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance than other document clustering methods.
