In this paper, we propose a general framework for sensor data fusion applied to control systems. Since many kinds of disturbances are introduced to a control system, it is necessary to rely on multisensor data fusion to improve control performance in spite of the disturbances. Multisensor data fusion for a control system is considered a sequence of making decisions for a combination of sensor data to make a proper control input in uncertain conditions of disturbance effects on sensors. The proposed method is applied to a typical control system of a flexible link system in which reduction of oscillation is obtained using a photo sensor at the tip of the link. But the control performance depends heavily on the environmental light conditions. To overcome the light disturbance difficulties, an accelerometer is used in addition to the existing photo sensor. Improvement of control performance is possible by utilizing multisensor data fusion for various output responses to show the feasibility of the proposed method in this paper.

For decades, modeling of pilots has been intensively studied due to its advantages in reducing costs for training and enhancing safety of pilots. In particular, research for modeling of pilots' non-kinetic behaviors which refer to the decisions made by pilots is beneficial as the expertise of pilots can be inherent in the models. With the recent growth in the amount of combat logs accumulated, employing statistical learning methods for the modeling becomes possible. However, the combat logs consist of heterogeneous data that are not only continuous or discrete but also sequence independent or dependent, making it difficult to directly applying the learning methods without modifications. Therefore, in this paper, we present a kernel function named hybrid sequence kernel which addresses the problem by using multiple kernel learning methods. Based on the empirical experiments by using combat logs obtained from a simulator, the proposed kernel showed satisfactory results.

We present an autonomous distributed manufacturing system to plan the manufacturing process and the schedule based on a customer order, which considers the system efficiency as well as to the flexibly. In our system, an intermediate conceptual agent called process agent is introduced, of which the role is to create a plausible alternative for the working group to fulfill the given order. The process related decision such as process sequence, allocated facilities, schedule and cost is also made simultaneously. Given an order, several these process agents are created, and the optimum on is selected through a bidding mechanism. As a criterion of such a decision-making, we consider a concept of value which is determined by several factors such as cost, delivery, working ratio and so forth. Every agent consisting of the system makes decisions and actions so as to maximize its possessing value, and the overall behavior of the system is controlled by the value distribution.

There are various machine learning techniques such as Reinforcement Learning, Deep Learning, Neural Network Learning, and so on. In recent, Large Language Models (LLMs) are popularly used for Generative AI based on Reinforcement Learning. It makes decisions with the most optimal rewards through the fine tuning process in a particular situation. Unfortunately, LLMs can not provide any explanation for how they reach the goal because the training is based on learning of black-box AI. Reinforcement Learning as black-box AI is based on graph-evolving structure for deriving enhanced solution through adjustment by human feedback or reinforced data. In this research, for mutually exclusive decision-making, Mutually Exclusive Learning (MEL) is proposed to provide explanations of the chosen goals that are achieved by a decision on both ends with specified conditions. In MEL, decision-making process is based on the tree-based structure that can provide processes of pruning branches that are used as explanations of how to achieve the goals. The goal can be reached by trade-off among mutually exclusive alternatives according to the specific contextual conditions. Therefore, the tree-based structure is adopted to provide feasible solutions with the explanations based on the pruning branches. The sequence of pruning processes can be used to provide the explanations of the inferences and ways to reach the goals, as Explainable AI (XAI). The learning process is based on the pruning branches according to the multi-dimensional contextual conditions. To deep-dive the search, they are composed of time window to determine the temporal perspective, depth of phases for lookahead and decision criteria to prune branches. The goal depends on the policy of the pruning branches, which can be dynamically changed by configured situation with the specific multi-dimensional contextual conditions at a particular moment. The explanation is represented by the chosen episode among the decision alternatives according to configured situations. In this research, MEL adopts the tree-based learning model to provide explanation for the goal derived with specific conditions. Therefore, as an example of mutually exclusive problems, employment process is proposed to demonstrate the decision-making process of how to reach the goal and explanation by the pruning branches. Finally, further study is discussed to verify the effectiveness of MEL with experiments.

Perioperative treatment with conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has proven clinical benefits in terms of achieving a higher overall survival (OS) rate. With its success in the palliative treatment of NSCLC, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has now become an essential component of treatment, even as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy in patients with operable NSCLC. Both pre- and post-surgery ICB applications have proven clinical efficacy in preventing disease recurrence. In addition, neoadjuvant ICB combined with cytotoxic chemotherapy has shown a significantly higher rate of pathologic regression of viable tumors compared with cytotoxic chemotherapy alone. To confirm this, an early signal of OS benefit has been shown in a selected population, with programmed death ligand 1 expression ≥50%. Furthermore, applying ICB both pre- and post-surgery enhances its clinical benefits, as is currently under evaluation in ongoing phase III trials. Simultaneously, as the number of available perioperative treatment options increases, the variables to be considered for making treatment decisions become more complex. Thus, the role of a multidisciplinary team-based treatment approach has not been fully emphasized. This review presents up-to-date pivotal data that lead to practical changes in managing resectable NSCLC. From the medical oncologist's perspective, it is time to dance with surgeons to decide on the sequence of systemic treatment, particularly the ICB-based approach, accompanying surgery for operable NSCLC.

시계열 예측은 과거 시점의 정보를 토대로 미래 시점의 정보를 예측하는 것을 말한다. 향후 시점의 정보를 정확하게 예측하는 것은 다양한 분야 전략 수립, 정책 결정 등을 위해 활용되기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 최근에는 트랜스포머 모델이 시계열 예측 모델로서 주로 연구되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 트랜스포머의 모델은 예측 순차를 출력할 때 출력 결과를 다시 입력하는 자가회귀 구조로 되어 있다는 한계점이 있다. 이 한계점은 멀리 떨어진 시점을 예측할 때 정확도가 떨어진다는 문제점을 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하고 더 정확한 시계열 예측을 위해 스타일 변환 기법에 착안한 순차 디코딩 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 트랜스포머-인코더에서 과거 정보의 특성을 추출하고, 이를 스타일-기반 디코더에 반영하여 예측 시계열을 생성하는 구조로 되어 있다. 이 구조는 자가회귀 방식의 기존의 트랜스포머의 디코더 구조와 다르게, 예측 순차를 한꺼번에 출력하기 때문에 더 먼 시점의 정보를 좀 더 정확히 예측할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 서로 다른 데이터 특성을 가지는 다양한 시계열 데이터셋으로 예측 실험을 진행한 결과, 본 논문에서 제시한 모델이 기존의 다른 시계열 예측 모델보다 예측 정확도가 우수하다는 것을 보인다.

The decision-making by agents in games is commonly based on reinforcement learning. To improve the quality of agents, it is necessary to solve the problems of the time and state space that are required for learning. Such problems can be solved by Macro-Actions, which are defined and executed by a sequence of primitive actions. In this line of research, the learning time is reduced by cutting down the number of policy decisions by agents. Macro-Actions were originally defined as combinations of the same primitive actions. Based on studies that showed the generation of Macro-Actions by learning, Macro-Actions are now thought to consist of diverse kinds of primitive actions. However an enormous amount of learning time and state space are required to generate Macro-Actions. To resolve these issues, we can apply insights from studies on the learning of tasks through Programming by Demonstration (PbD) to generate Macro-Actions that reduce the learning time and state space. In this paper, we propose a method to define and execute Macro-Actions. Macro-Actions are learned from a human subject via PbD and a policy is learned by reinforcement learning. In an experiment, the proposed method was applied to a car simulation to verify the scalability of the proposed method. Data was collected from the driving control of a human subject, and then the Macro-Actions that are required for running a car were generated. Furthermore, the policy that is necessary for driving on a track was learned. The acquisition of Macro-Actions by PbD reduced the driving time by about 16% compared to the case in which Macro-Actions were directly defined by a human subject. In addition, the learning time was also reduced by a faster convergence of the optimum policies.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a typical, chronic neurodegenerative disease involving the concentration of dopamine, which can disrupt motor activity and cause different degrees of gait disturbance relevant to PD severity in patients. As current clinical PD diagnosis is a complex, time-consuming, and challenging task that relays on physicians' subjective evaluation of visual observations, gait disturbance has been extensively explored to make automatic detection of PD diagnosis and severity rating and provides auxiliary information for physicians' decisions using gait data from various acquisition devices. Among them, wearable sensors have the advantage of flexibility since they do not limit the wearers' activity sphere in this application scenario. In this paper, an attention-based temporal network (ATN) is designed for the time series structure of gait data (vertical ground reaction force signals) from foot sensor systems, to learn the discriminative differences related to PD severity levels hidden in sequential data. The structure of the proposed method is illuminated by Transformer Network for its success in excavating temporal information, containing three modules: a preprocessing module to map intra-moment features, a feature extractor computing complicated gait characteristic of the whole signal sequence in the temporal dimension, and a classifier for the final decision-making about PD severity assessment. The experiment is conducted on the public dataset PDgait of VGRF signals to verify the proposed model's validity and show promising classification performance compared with several existing methods.

도시교통 수요는 활동 수행으로부터 유발된다. 개인의 활동 의사결정에 의한 일상활동의 개인 간 총합은 집합적 공간행동으로 관찰되며, 활동간 서로 다른 공간의 극복을 위해 유발된 통행은 활동 간의 구조적인 상호연쇄관계에 의해 그 구체적 형태를 부여받는다. 개인의 하루 일상을 통한 시공간적 의사결정 및 사회적 실행과 사회 공간적 환경간의 상호작용을 탐구하는 활동기반접근법은 도시민의 일상과 통행을 분석하는데 중요한 이론 틀을 제공한다. 이 연구는 도시민의 일상활동을 활동기반접근법에 근거하여 대표적인 유형으로 분류하고, 분류된 유형의 프로파일과 관련 있는 활동 주체 특성과 활동 당시의 상황 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 도시민의 일상활동은 소수의 대표적 활동패턴 집단으로 분류 가능하며, 각 집단의 특성은 다차원 프로파일에 의해 유의하게 요약되었다. 또한 각각의 프로파일은 서로 다른 사회경제적, 상황적 특성과 상관되어 있음을 확인하였다. 연구는 도시민의 일상활동 원리를 밝힘으로써, 도시교통 정책수단에 대한 도시민의 개별 반응 양식과 그 집합적 행동을 예측하기 위한 이론적 기초를 제공한다.
