Google Trends provides weekly information on keyword search frequency on the Google search engine. Search volume patterns for the search keyword can also be analyzed based on category and by the location of those making the search. Also, Google provides “Hot searches” and “Top charts” including top and rising searches that include the search keyword. All this information is kept up to date, and allows trend comparisons by providing past weekly figures. In this study, we present a predictive model for TV markets using the searched data in Google search engine (Google Trend data). Using a predictive model for the market and analysis of the Google Trend data, we obtained an efficient and meaningful result for the TV market, and also determined highly ranked countries and cities. This method can provide very useful information for TV manufacturers and others.

In this paper, we develope a stock trading system that automatically buy and sell stocks in Kiwoom Securities' HTS system. The system is made by using Kiwoom Open API+ with the Python programming language. A trading strategy is based on an enhanced system query method called a Condition-Search. The Condition-Search script is edited in Kiwoom Hero 4 HTS and the script is stored in the Kiwoom server. The Condition-Search script has the advantage of being easy to change the trading strategy because it can be modified and changed as needed. In the HTS system, up to ten Condition-Search scripts are supported, so it is possible to apply various trading methods. But there are some restrictions on transactions and Condition-Search in Kiwoom Open API+. To avoid one problem that has transaction number and frequency are restricted, a method of adjusting the time interval between transactions is applied and the other problem that do not support a threading technique is solved by an IPC(Inter-Process Communication) with multiple login IDs.

The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly impacted human lifestyles and patterns. It was recommended to avoid face-to-face contact and over-crowded indoor places as much as possible as COVID-19 spreads through air, as well as through droplets or aerosols. Therefore, if a person who has contacted a COVID-19 patient or was at the place where the COVID-19 patient occurred is concerned that he/she may have been infected with COVID-19, it can be fully expected that he/she will search for COVID-19 symptoms on Google. In this study, an exploratory data analysis using deep learning models(DNN & LSTM) was conducted to see if we could predict the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases by summoning Google Trends, which played a major role in surveillance and management of influenza, again and combining it with data on the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. In particular, search term frequency data used in this study are available publicly and do not invade privacy. When the deep neural network model was applied, Seoul (9.6 million) with the largest population in South Korea and Busan (3.4 million) with the second largest population recorded lower error rates when forecasting including search term frequency data. These analysis results demonstrate that search term frequency data plays an important role in cities with a population above a certain size. We also hope that these predictions can be used as evidentiary materials to decide policies, such as the deregulation or implementation of stronger preventive measures.

In this paper, we present an optimization of truss structures subjected to stress, buckling, and natural frequency constraints. The main objective of the present study is to propose an efficient HA-SA algorithm for solving the truss optimization subject to multiple constraints. The procedure of hybrid HA-SA is a search method which a design values in harmony memory of harmony search are used as an initial value designs in simulated annealing search method. The efficient optimization of HA-SA is illustrated through several optimization examples. The examples of truss structures are used 10-Bar truss, 52-Bar truss (Dome), and 72-Bar truss for natural frequency constraints, and used 18-Bar truss and 47-Bar (Tower) truss for stress and buckling constraints. The optimum results are compared to those of different techniques. The numerical results are demonstrated the advantages of the HA-SA algorithm in truss optimization with multiple constraints.

This study was performed to investigate some characteristics on human error proneness in the computerized work environment. Our concerning theme was on human error likelihood according to personal temperament. Two experiments were performed. The first experiment was to study the effect of field- independence/dependence on error likelihood. The second experiment was on error proneness. These experiments were performed in information search task. which was most frequent task in computerized work environment such as the control room of nuclear power plant. Ten subjects were participated in this study. Analyzed results are as follows. Field-independence/dependence had a significant effect in both information search time and error frequency. Error proneness had a significant effect in both factors, too. And, a positive correlation was found between error frequency and information search time. These results will be utilized as a basis to study operator's error proneness in the computerized control room of nuclear power plant. later on.

This study quantifies the dynamic interrelationship between the KOSPI index return and search query data derived from the Naver DataLab. The empirical estimation using a bivariate GARCH model reveals that negative contemporaneous correlations between the stock return and the search frequency prevail during the sample period. Meanwhile, the search frequency has a negative association with the one-week- ahead stock return but not vice versa. In addition to identifying dynamic correlations, the paper also aims to serve as a test bed in which the existence of profitable trading strategies based on big data is explored. Specifically, the strategy interpreting the heightened investor attention as a negative signal for future returns appears to have been superior to the benchmark strategy in terms of the expected utility over wealth. This paper also demonstrates that the big data-based option trading strategy might be able to beat the market under certain conditions. These results highlight the possibility of big data as a potential source-which has been left largely untapped-for establishing profitable trading strategies as well as developing insights on stock market dynamics.

This study aims to present a novel optimization algorithm known as gravitational search algorithm (GSA) for structural damage detection. An objective function for damage detection is established based on structural vibration data in frequency domain, i.e., natural frequencies and mode shapes. The feasibility and efficiency of the GSA are testified on three different structures, i.e., a beam, a truss and a plate. Results show that the proposed strategy is efficient for determining the locations and the extents of structural damages using the first several modal data of the structure. Multiple damages cases in different types of structures are studied and good identification results can be obtained. The effect of measurement noise on the identification results is investigated.

In this paper, I proposed a sound model generation and a most frequent model search algorithm for recognizing animal vocalization. The sound model generation algorithm generates a optimal set of models through repeating processes such as the training process, the Viterbi Search process, and the most frequent model search process while adjusting HMM(Hidden Markov Model) structure to improve global recognition rate. The most frequent model search algorithm searches the list of models produced by Viterbi Search Algorithm for the most frequent model and makes it be the final decision of recognition process. It is implemented using MFCC(Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient) for the sound feature, HMM for the model, and C# programming language. To evaluate the algorithm, a set of animal sounds for 27 species were prepared and the experiment showed that the sound model generation algorithm generates 27 HMM models with 97.29 percent of recognition rate.

GPS is a representative satellite navigation system that provides users with accurate location and time information. GPS L1 C / A is opened for civilian and thus utilized in various fields. When the satellite signal reaches the receiver, signal acquisition unit of the digital signal processing hardware searches and acquires the signal among visible satellites. The signal acquisition unit has different implementation methods depending on the signal searching method, such as serial search acquisition, parallel frequency search, parallel code phase search. In this paper, we compare and analyze the three representative acquisition hardwares using live GPS L1 C/A signals. According to the comparison, the parallel code phase search acquisition outperforms the other methods due to reduction of the number of the searchings and a high resolution.

The objective of this study is to investigate college student search behavior in an academic library. The theory of planned behavior was applied for identifying relationship among variables on search behavior. Data were collected in an university. For data analysis, ANOVA, factor analysis, regression analysis, cluster analysis were used. The result shows: the theory of planned behavior can be used for finding search intention in an academic library. Student major and library use frequency are different statistically in attitudes, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention. Student characteristics are divided into four types: conservative, independent, friendship, fashion. Friendship type of students influences search behavior. From cluster analysis, the cluster included friendship and independent types of students and students who have high frequency of library use has more active intention for search in academic library.
