This study focuses on improving a word embedding model to enhance the performance of downstream tasks, such as those of dialog systems. To improve traditional word embedding models, such as skip-gram, it is critical to refine the word features and expand the context model. In this paper, we approach the word model from the perspective of subword embedding and attempt to extend the context model by integrating various sentence models. Our proposed sentence model is a subword-based skip-thought model that integrates self-attention and relative position encoding techniques. We also propose a clustering-based dialog model for downstream task verification and evaluate its relationship with the sentence-model-based subword embedding technique. The proposed subword embedding method produces better results than previous methods in evaluating word and sentence similarity. In addition, the downstream task verification, a clustering-based dialog system, demonstrates an improvement of up to 4.86% over the results of FastText in previous research.

This paper is an attempt to design segmentation method based on fully convolutional networks (FCN) and attention mechanism. The first five layers of the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) 16 network serve as the coding part in the semantic segmentation network structure with the convolutional layer used to replace pooling to reduce loss of image feature extraction information. The up-sampling and deconvolution unit of the FCN is then used as the decoding part in the semantic segmentation network. In the deconvolution process, the skip structure is used to fuse different levels of information and the attention mechanism is incorporated to reduce accuracy loss. Finally, the segmentation results are obtained through pixel layer classification. The results show that our method outperforms the comparison methods in mean pixel accuracy (MPA) and mean intersection over union (MIOU).

The biological and pathological states of lung, spleen, liver and kidneys are determined by nature and emotion of sorrow, anger, joy and pleasure, It is considered that the music, besides medicine or acupuncture, can be a way of treating as a therapeutics for the treatment of Sasangin's diseases. This study is to find out a way of music therapy for the treatment of Sasangin's diseases. The ways of music therapy in each constitution based on 'the great and small of Viscera and Bowels' and 'the exhale and inhale, the drawing in and sending out' are as follows: 1. In case of Soeumin, a skip going up melodic progression, dotted rhythm and the major triad harmonic progression are recommended to improve the Qi of warm Yang. 2. In case of Soyangin, in regular sequence down melodic progression, a sixteenth note and the minor triad harmonic progression are recommended to improve the Qi of cool Yin. 3. In case of Taeumin, in regular sequence going up melodic progression, a sixteenth note and the bright and active the major triad harmonic progression are recommended to improve the Qi of dispersing exhale. 4. In case of Taeyangin, a skip down melodic progression, a quarter note and a diminished triad harmonic progression are recommended to improve the Qi of gathering inhale.

This paper presents a fast block-matching algorithm based on the normalized cross-correlation, where the elimination order is determined based on the gradient magnitudes of subblocks in the current macroblock. Multilevel Cauchy-Schwartz inequality is derived to skip unnecessary block-matching calculations in the proposed algorithm. Also, additional complexity reduction is achieved re-using the normalized cross correlation values for the spatially neighboring macroblock because the search areas of adjacent macroblocks are overlapped. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the speed-up ratio up to about 3 times in comparison with the existing algorithm.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the determining factors that have influence on elementary students who go without breakfast and identified their physical, mental and social health that may resulted by skipping breakfast. Methods: For data collection, total 855 elementary students at the 5th and 6th grade in an urban and a rural area were asked to join the survey using a self-administered questionnaire from March 25 to April 9, 2005. The data were analyzed through a series of statistical methods including frequency, percentage, chi-square$(X^2)$ test, t-test and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: It was found that 24.0 % of respondents would skip breakfast, and influential socioeconomic factors on their skipped breakfast were economic level and mother's occupation. A group that has meals more with family everyday and a group that has breakfast served by mother as usual showed significantly low percentage of going without breakfast at statistical level(p<0.05). In case that other family members used to go without breakfast, there was a tendency to significantly high rate of skipped breakfast(p<0.01). And a group who got up early in the morning and a group who scored high points in the assessment of dietary habit showed significantly low percentage of skipped breakfast(p<0.01). In the result of multiple logistic regression analysis, the significant variables in urban area were economic level, person setting up breakfast, getting-up time and family members who would skip a meal. In rural area, meal-skipping family member, person setting up breakfast and dietary habit were significant variables(p<0.05). In physical influences according to skipping breakfast, students would skip breakfast had more stomach or dizziness(p<0.05). Depression score were higher and school life score were lower in group skipping breakfast, but not statistically significant. Conclusions: In conclusion, in order to reduce the rate of elementary students who often go without breakfast, it is favorable that they should be instructed in the importance of breakfast and the harm of skipped meal, so that they can cultivate positive living habits and dietary attitudes as well. And it is necessary that this health education cover not only students but also all of their family members(especially mother). Furthermore, it is necessary to develop systematic programs for them to get over environment factors.

H.264/AVC는 최신의 비디오 코딩 표준으로, MPEG-2나 MPEG-4에 비해 50% 정도의 높은 압축 효율을 가지고 있다. H.264/AVC에 포함된 여러 기술 중에서 다양한 모드를 이용한 부호화 기능은 높은 압축률이 가능한 기술이지만, 부호화 과정을 복잡하게 만드는 큰 요인이기도 하다. 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC에서 빠른 부호화를 위한 3단계 모드 선택 기법을 제안한다. 1단계에서는 시간적 공간적 상관성을 고려하여 SKIP 모드 또는 INTER 모드를 선택한다. 2단계에서는 1단계의 결과가 INTER일 경우 세부모드들을 2개의 그룹으로 나누어 그 중에서 하나의 그룹을 선택한다. 3단계에서는 2단계에서 선택된 그룹에 따라 오차 매크로블록의 픽셀 값 방향성 또는 주변 매크로블록의 모드를 고려하여 최종 모드를 선택한다. 제안한 기법의 성능을 실험한 결과, 기존의 JM10.2 표준과 비교했을 때, 적은 PSNR의 저하와 적은 비트율의 상승으로 평균 42%의 부호화 시간을 단축하였다.

지속적인 네트워크 전송 능력 및 저장 매체 성능 향상에도 불구하고, 다양한 기술적 경제적 이유에서, 화질 열화를 최소화하면서 압축 성능을 증대시키기 위한 비디오 부호화 기술이 꾸준히 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 종래의 비디오 성능을 더욱 향상시키기 위해, 경쟁 기반 스킵모드 부호화를 위한 적응적 문맥기반 움직임 예측 후보 선택 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 카메라의 움직임 여부와 주변 블록의 움직임 벡터 문맥을 기반으로 움직임 예측 후보를 적응적으로 구성하여, 고정된 움직임 예측 후보를 가지는 종래의 방식에 비해 효율적인 움직임 예측 후보를 제공하였다. 이와 같이 선택된 적응적 움직임 예측 후보를, 비디오 부호기의 인터 모드 중 가장 효율적인 부호화 모드로 알려진 스킵 모드의 움직임 예측 후보 선택에 적용함으로써 종래 방식 중 가장 우수한 성능을 나타내는 경쟁 기반 움직임 벡터 부호화 방식의 BD-RATE 성능을 최대 2배까지 개선할 수 있었다.

H.264/AVC 표준은 여러 가지 신기술들을 접목시킴으로써 기존의 동영상 표준들보다 한층 개선된 부호화 효율성을 제공한다.하지만, H.264/AVC 인코더의 향상된 부호화 기술은 그것의 전반적인 복잡도를 크게 증가시켰다. 따라서, 인코더의 복잡도 수준을 경감시키기 위한 최적화의 연구는 중대한 선결 과제이다. 특히, 움직임 추정 부분에 대한 계산량의 비율은 인코더의 작업시간을 크게 좌우한다. 본 논문에서는 완전 다이아몬드와 12각형을 기본 탐색 패턴으로 사용하고 특정한 임계기준치를 적용시킴으로써 효율적으로 정적 블록들을 스킵하는 다이아몬드 웹 격자 탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과는 본 논문에서 제안된 기법이 기존의 UMHexagonS 알고리즘의 계산량을 12%까지 감소시키면서도 유사한 PSNR을 유지한다는 것을 보여준다.

Moonpool characteristics of a cleaning skip related with the performance of a skip are experimentally investigated. Resistance performances of the ship and flow patterns in the moonpool are observed, in order to determine the effect of different shaped moonpool. The ways to reduce ship pithing motion caused by force in the moonpool are examined. Experimental results, using a scale model of cleaning ship with moonpool, show that the step arranged in tier under water leads to significant improvements in performance, such us resistance and ship pithing motion. Depending upon the shape of step in the moonpool, the results indicate that the increment of resistance performance may be up to 35%, especially in the case of no step or high step.
