This paper presents a nighttime sea fog detection algorithm incorporating unsupervised learning technique. The algorithm is based on data sets that combine brightness temperatures from the $3.7{\mu}m$ and $10.8{\mu}m$ channels of the meteorological imager (MI) onboard the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS), with sea surface temperature from the Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA). Previous algorithms generally employed threshold values including the brightness temperature difference between the near infrared and infrared. The threshold values were previously determined from climatological analysis or model simulation. Although this method using predetermined thresholds is very simple and effective in detecting low cloud, it has difficulty in distinguishing fog from stratus because they share similar characteristics of particle size and altitude. In order to improve this, the unsupervised learning approach, which allows a more effective interpretation from the insufficient information, has been utilized. The unsupervised learning method employed in this paper is the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm that is widely used in incomplete data problems. It identifies distinguishing features of the data by organizing and optimizing the data. This allows for the application of optimal threshold values for fog detection by considering the characteristics of a specific domain. The algorithm has been evaluated using the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) vertical profile products, which showed promising results within a local domain with probability of detection (POD) of 0.753 and critical success index (CSI) of 0.477, respectively.

Adaptive resonance theory (ART2) characterized by its built-in mechanism of handling the stability-plasticity switching and by the adaptive learning without forgetting informations learned in the past, is based on an unsupervised template matching. We propose an improved tow-stage learning algorithm for aRT2: the original unsupervised learning followed by a new supervised learning. Each of the output nodes, after the unsupervised learning, is labeled according to the category informations to reinforce the template pattern associated with the target output node belonging to the same category some dominant classes from exhausting a finite number of template patterns in ART2 inefficiently. Experimental results on a set of 2545 FLIR images show that the ART2 trained by the two-stage learning algorithm yields better accuracy than the original ART2, regardless of th esize of the network and the methods of evaluating the accuracy. This improvement shows the effectiveness of the two-stage learning process.

Changes in household composition and the residential environment have had a considerable impact on the features of postal delivery regions in recent years, resulting in a large increase in the overall workload of domestic postal delivery services. In this paper, we provide complex analysis results for postal delivery areas using various unsupervised learning approaches. First, we extract highly influential features using several feature-engineering methods. Then, using quantitative and qualitative cluster analyses, we find the distinctive traits and semantics of postal delivery zones. Unsupervised learning approaches are useful for successfully grouping postal service zones, according to our findings. Furthermore, by comparing a postal delivery region to other areas in the same group, workload balancing was achieved.

This study is to find a method to learn engine sound after the start-up of a diesel generator installed in nuclear power plant with an unsupervised deep learning algorithm (CNN autoencoder) and a new method to predict the failure of a diesel generator using it. In order to learn the sound of a diesel generator with a deep learning algorithm, sound data recorded before and after the start-up of two diesel generators was used. The sound data of 20 min and 2 h were cut into 7 s, and the split sound was converted into a spectrogram image. 1200 and 7200 spectrogram images were created from sound data of 20 min and 2 h, respectively. Using two different deep learning algorithms (CNN autoencoder and binary classification), it was investigated whether the diesel generator post-start sounds were learned as normal. It was possible to accurately determine the post-start sounds as normal and the pre-start sounds as abnormal. It was also confirmed that the deep learning algorithm could detect the virtual abnormal sounds created by mixing the unusual sounds with the post-start sounds. This study showed that the unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm has a good accuracy increased about 3% with comparing to the binary classification algorithm.

Recent studies have shown that inverse design using deep learning has the potential to rapidly generate the optimal design that satisfies the target performance without the need for iterative optimization processes. Unlike traditional methods, deep learning allows the network to rapidly generate a large number of solution candidates for the same objective after a single training, and enables the generation of diverse designs tailored to the objectives of inverse design. These inverse design techniques are expected to significantly enhance the efficiency and innovation of design processes in various fields such as aerospace, biology, medical, and engineering. We analyzes inverse design models that are mainly utilized in the nano and chemical fields, and proposes inverse design models based on supervised and unsupervised learning that can be applied to the engineering system. It is expected to present the possibility of effectively applying inverse design methodologies to the design optimization problem in the field of engineering according to each specific objective.

Compressed sensing (CS) has been investigated in magnetic resonance (MR) parametric mapping to reduce scan time. However, the relatively long reconstruction time restricts its widespread applications in the clinic. Recently, deep learning-based methods have shown great potential in accelerating reconstruction time and improving imaging quality in fast MR imaging, although their adaptation to parametric mapping is still in an early stage. In this paper, we proposed a novel deep learning-based framework DEMO for fast and robust MR parametric mapping. Different from current deep learning-based methods, DEMO trains the network in an unsupervised way, which is more practical given that it is difficult to acquire large fully sampled training data of parametric-weighted images. Specifically, a CS-based loss function is used in DEMO to avoid the necessity of using fully sampled k-space data as the label, thus making it an unsupervised learning approach. DEMO reconstructs parametric weighted images and generates a parametric map simultaneously by unrolling an interaction approach in conventional fast MR parametric mapping, which enables multi-tasking learning. Experimental results showed promising performance of the proposed DEMO framework in quantitative MR T1ρ mapping.

언플러그드 활동은 프로그래밍 프로그램 이외의 학습 도구를 통하여 컴퓨터 과학에 대하여 학습하는 활동들이다. 기존의 언플러그드 활동은 절차적인 사고 과정에 초점을 맞추고, 놀이를 통해 사고 과정을 지도하는 것에 초점을 두어, 최근 주목되는 머신 러닝에서 중요한 비중을 차지하는 비지도 학습에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 초등학생들에게 익숙한 영상 매체를 사용하여 데이터를 분석하는 비지도 학습을 위한 언플러그드 수업을 설계하고, 수업을 실시한 후에 비버챌린지를 활용하여 수업의 효과성에 대한 결과를 분석하였다. 사전 검사와 사후 검사의 점수를 분석한 결과 학생들의 computational thinking 과 문제 해결력이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

RAM 기반 신경망은 2진 신경망(Binary Neural Network, BNN)에 복수개의 정보 저장 비트를 두어 교육의 반복 횟수를 누적하도록 구성된 가중치를 가지지 않는(weightless) 신경회로망으로서 한 번의 교육만으로 학습이 이루어지는 효율성이 뛰어난 신경회로망이다. 지도 학습에 기반을 둔 RAM 기반 신경망은 패턴 인식 분야에는 우수한 성능을 보이는 반면, 비지도 학습에 의해 패턴을 구분해야 하는 범주화 연구에는 적합하지 않은 모델로 분류된다. 본 논문에서는 비지도 학습 알고리즘을 제안하여 RAM 기반 신경망으로 패턴 범주화를 수행한다. 제안된 비지도 학습 알고리즘에 의해 RAM 기반 신경망은 입력 패턴에 따라 자율 학습하여 스스로 범주를 생성할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 RAM 기반 신경망이 지도 학습과 비지도 학습이 모두 가능한 복합 모델임을 증명한다. 실험에 사용한 학습 패턴으로는 0에서 9까지의 오프라인 필기체 숫자로 구성된 MNIST 데이터베이스를 사용하였다.

본 논문은 태그가 없는 단순 말뭉치만을 가지고 자율학습을 이용하여 정보 검색을 위한 색인어의 추출 등에 이용될 수 있도록 한국어의 실질 형태소와 형식 형태소를 분리해내는 기법에 대하여 기술한다. 본 기법은 사전 등의 언어 관련 지식을 요구하지 않으며 오직 단순 말뭉치만을 필요로 한다. 또한 자율학습을 이용함으로써 사람의 간섭이 필요하지 않아 학습에 필요한 시간과 노력이 거의 들지 않는다. 본 방식은 잘 확립된 통계적 방법론을 이용하기 때문에 일반적인 휴리스틱과는 달리 이론적인 기반이 확고하여 확장 및 발전이 용이하다. 본 결과는 한국어에 우선 적용되었으나 한국어에 종속적인 방법이 아니어서 다른 교착어에도 쉽게 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

입력 모듈의 결함경향성을 결정하는 결함 예측 모델 연구들은 대부분 훈련 데이터 집합을 사용하는 감독형 모델에 관련된 것들이었다. 하지만 과거 데이터 집합이 없거나 데이터 집합이 있더라도 현재 프로젝트와 성격이 다른 경우는 비감독형 모델이 필요하며, 이들에 관한 연구들은 모델 구축의 어려움 때문에 극소수 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 비감독형 모델 연구들에서 사용하지 않은 대표적인 클러스터링 알고리즘인 EM, DBSCAN을 사용한 비감독형 모델들을 제작하여, 기존 연구들에서 사용한 K-means 모델과 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과 오류율 면에서 EM이 K-means보다 약간 나은 성능을 보였으며, DBSCAN은 두 모델에 떨어지는 성능을 보였다.
