  • Tactical path-finding in computer games is path-finding where a path is selected by considering not only basic elements such as the shortest distance or the minimum time spend but also tactical information of surroundings when deciding character's moving trajectory. One way to include tactical information in path-finding is to represent a heuristic function as a sum of tactical quality multiplied by a weighting factor which is.. determined based on the degree of its importance. The choice of weighting factors for tactics is very important because it controls search performance and the characteristic of paths found. In this paper. we propose a method for improving a heuristic function by adjusting weights based on the difference between paths on examples given by a level designer and paths found during the search process based on the CUITent weighting factors. The proposed method includes the search algorithm modified to detect search errors and learn heuristics and the perceptron-like weight updating formular. Through simulations it is demonstrated how different paths found by tactical path-finding are from those by traditional path-finding. We analyze the factors that affect the performance of learning and show the example applied to the real game environments.

  • A Principal component analysis (PCA)-based Mel-Frequency Discrete Wavelet Coefficients (MFDWC) feature Parameters for speaker verification system is Presented in this Paper In this method, we used the 1st-eigenvector obtained from PCA to calculate the energy of each node of level that was approximated by. met-scale. This eigenvector satisfies the constraint of general weighting function that the squared sum of each component of weighting function is unity and is considered to represent speaker's characteristic closely because the 1st-eigenvector of each speaker is fairly different from the others. For verification. we used Universal Background Model (UBM) approach that compares claimed speaker s model with UBM on frame-level. We performed experiments to test the effectiveness of PCA-based parameter and found that our Proposed Parameters could obtain improved average Performance of $0.80\%$compared to MFCC. $5.14\%$ to LPCC and 6.69 to existing MFDWC.

  • The Fourier convolution algorithms are used to reconstruct a 3-D density function from the projection data sets. The convolved data are then back projected to obtain a density function. There are several choices of the weighting function for the design of the reconstruction(deblurring) filter. Present paper reviews the design of reconstruction filter considering the problems such as the effects of sampling rate, aliasing, and noise.

  • In this paper, a simple method is presented to synthesize a transfer function from experimentally obtained gain and phase data. The method we offer here is based on the previous method given by M.Hassul etc. [1], where they proposed relevant formulas in a straightforward manner so that undergraduate students could follow the development more easily. This method, however, inevitably is accompanied by a significant difference between the real and identified model especially in the low frequency region. We solve this problem by introducing a new weighting function that can be determined by using the additive uncertainty of the Identified transfer function.

  • Structural damage identification (SDI) is a crucial step in structural health monitoring. However, some of the existing SDI methods cannot provide enough identification accuracy and efficiency in practice. A novel whale optimization algorithm (WOA) based method is proposed for SDI by weighting modal data and flexibility assurance criterion in this study. At first, the SDI problem is mathematically converted into a constrained optimization problem. Unlike traditional objective function defined using frequencies and mode shapes, a new objective function on the SDI problem is formulated by weighting both modal data and flexibility assurance criterion. Then, the WOA method, due to its good performance of fast convergence and global searching ability, is adopted to provide an accurate solution to the SDI problem, different predator mechanisms are formulated and their probability thresholds are selected. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is assessed by numerical simulations on a simply-supported beam and a 31-bar truss structures. For the given multiple structural damage conditions under environmental noises, the WOA-based SDI method can effectively locate structural damages and accurately estimate severities of damages. Compared with other optimization methods, such as particle swarm optimization and dragonfly algorithm, the proposed WOA-based method outperforms in accuracy and efficiency, which can provide a more effective and potential tool for the SDI problem.

  • Technology of vehicle industry has been developing and it is required a better vehicle performance than before. Therefore, the consumers are asking not only an economic efficiency, functionality, polished design, ride comfort and silence but also a driving stability. The ride comfort, silence and driving stability are influenced by the size of vehicle and various facilities. But the principal factor is a room noise and vibration sensed by a driver and passenger. Thus, the NVH of vehicle has been raised and used as a principal factor for evaluation of vehicle performance. The primary objective of this study is an optimized design of powertrain mounting system. To optimized design was applied MSC.Nastran optimization modules. Results of dynamic analysis for powertrain mounting system was investigated. By theses results, design variables was applied 12 dynamic spring constant. And the weighting factor according to translational displacement and rotational displacement applied 3 cases. The objective function was applied to minimize displacement of powertrain. And the design variable constraint was imposed dynamic spring constant ratio. The constraint of design variable for objective function was imposed bounce displacement for powertrain.

  • In order to optimize fuzzy modeling of nonlinear system, we proposed a optimal fuzzy model according to the characteristic of I/O relationship, HCM method, the genetic algorithm, and the objective function with weighting factor. A conventional fuzzy model has difficulty in definition of membership function. In order to solve its problem, the premise structure of the proposed fuzzy model is selected by both the partition of input space and the analysis of input-output relationship using the clustering algorithm. The premise parameters of the fuzzy model are optimized respectively by the genetic algorithm and the consequence parameters of the fuzzy model are identified by the standard least square method. Also, the objective function with weighting factor is proposed to achieve a balance between the performance results for the training and testing data.

  • The present study investigated how one's cognitive resources are related to speech perception by examining Korean speakers' executive function (EF) capacity and its association with voice onset time (VOT) and f0 sensitivity in identifying Korean stop laryngeal categories (/t'/ vs. /t/ vs. /th/). Previously, Kong et al. (under revision) reported that Korean listeners (N = 154) in Seoul and Changwon (Gyeongsang) showed differential group patterns in dialect-specific cue weightings across educational institutions (college, high school, and elementary school). We follow up this study by further relating their EF control (working memory, mental flexibility, and inhibition) to their speech perception patterns to examine whether better cognitive ability would control attention to multiple acoustic dimensions. Partial correlation analyses revealed that better EFs in Korean listeners were associated with greater sensitivity to available acoustic details and with greater suppression of irrelevant acoustic information across subgroups, although only a small set of EF components turned out to be relevant. Unlike Seoul participants, Gyeongsang listeners' f0 use was not correlated with any EF task scores, reflecting dialect-specific cue primacy using f0 as a secondary cue. The findings confirm the link between speech perception and general cognitive ability, providing experimental evidence from Korean listeners.
