Most of the existing game-based education programmes for lower grades are simple block-coding studies, and there is a lack of examples of programming-intensive classes. In this study, we implemented a Minecraft-based Python coding fundamentals class for 3 classes at a local elementary school during a 2-week school holiday. The learning programme was reorganised from the standard learning programme on the official website, such as building quests through LAN-PARTY and self-scripting in-game, to improve class interest and motivation. In addition, we analysed the satisfaction and preferences of the class topics through a survey, and obtained meaningful results for future educational program development. This study is significant as a basic research for the design and development of game-based educational programmes for all age groups.

This paper proposed an automatic recognition system of shipping container identifiers using fuzzy-based noise removal method and ART2-based self-organizing supervised learning algorithm. Generally, identifiers of a shipping container have a feature that the color of characters is blacker white. Considering such a feature, in a container image, all areas excepting areas with black or white colors are regarded as noises, and areas of identifiers and noises are discriminated by using a fuzzy-based noise detection method. Areas of identifiers are extracted by applying the edge detection by Sobel masking operation and the vertical and horizontal block extraction in turn to the noise-removed image. Extracted areas are binarized by using the iteration binarization algorithm, and individual identifiers are extracted by applying 8-directional contour tacking method. This paper proposed an ART2-based self-organizing supervised learning algorithm for the identifier recognition, which improves the performance of learning by applying generalized delta learning and Delta-bar-Delta algorithm. Experiments using real images of shipping containers showed that the proposed identifier extraction method and the ART2-based self-organizing supervised learning algorithm are more improved compared with the methods previously proposed.

This paper introduces a method for improving accuracy using the first convolution layer, which is not used in most modified CNN(: Convolution Neural Networks). In CNN, such as GoogLeNet and DenseNet, the first convolution layer uses only the traditional methods(3×3 convolutional computation, batch normalization, and activation functions), replacing this with RGB-csb. In addition to the results of preceding studies that can improve accuracy by applying RGB values to feature maps, the accuracy is compared with existing CNN using a limited number of images. The method proposed in this paper shows that the smaller the number of images, the greater the learning accuracy deviation, the more unstable, but the higher the accuracy on average compared to the existing CNN. As the number of images increases, the difference in accuracy between the existing CNN and the proposed method decreases, and the proposed method does not seem to have a significant effect.

Disaster alerts are text messages sent by government to people in the area in the event of a disaster. Since the number of disaster alerts has increased, the number of people who block disaster alerts is increasing as many unnecessary disaster alerts are being received. To solve this problem, this study proposes a deep learning model that automatically classifies disaster alerts by disaster type, and allows only necessary disaster alerts to be received according to the recipient. The proposed model embeds disaster alerts via KoBERT and classifies them by disaster type with LSTM. As a result of classifying disaster alerts using 3 combinations of parts of speech: [Noun], [Noun + Adjective + Verb] and [All parts], and 4 classification models: Proposed model, Keyword classification, Word2Vec + 1D-CNN and KoBERT + FFNN, the proposed model achieved the highest performance with 0.988954 accuracy.

The hornet species are so similar in shape that they are difficult for non-experts to classify, and because the size of the objects is small and move fast, it is more difficult to detect and classify the species in real time. In this paper, we developed a system that classifies hornets species in real time based on a deep learning algorithm using a boundary box. In order to minimize the background area included in the bounding box when labeling the training image, we propose a method of selecting only the head and body of the hornet. It also experimentally compares existing boundary box-based object recognition algorithms to find the best algorithms that can detect wasps in real time and classify their species. As a result of the experiment, when the mish function was applied as the activation function of the convolution layer and the hornet images were tested using the YOLOv4 model with the Spatial Attention Module (SAM) applied before the object detection block, the average precision was 97.89% and the average recall was 98.69%.

This paper proposes a technique to determine the spam comments on YouTube, which have recently seen tremendous growth. On YouTube, the spammers appeared to promote their channels or videos in popular videos or leave comments unrelated to the video, as it is possible to monetize through advertising. YouTube is running and operating its own spam blocking system, but still has failed to block them properly and efficiently. Therefore, we examined related studies on YouTube spam comment screening and conducted classification experiments with six different machine learning techniques (Decision tree, Logistic regression, Bernoulli Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Support vector machine with linear kernel, Support vector machine with Gaussian kernel) and ensemble model combining these techniques in the comment data from popular music videos - Psy, Katy Perry, LMFAO, Eminem and Shakira.

The profile shops in shipyards produce section steels required for block production of ships. Due to the limitations of shipyard's production capacity, a considerable amount of work is already outsourced. In addition, the need to improve the productivity of the profile shops is growing because the production volume is expected to increase due to the recent boom in the shipbuilding industry. In this study, a scheduling optimization was conducted for a parallel welding line of the profile process, with the aim of minimizing tardiness and the number of set-up changes as objective functions to achieve productivity improvements. In particular, this study applied a dynamic scheduling method to determine the job sequence considering variability of processing time. A Markov decision process model was proposed for the job sequence problem, considering the trade-off relationship between two objective functions. Deep reinforcement learning was also used to learn the optimal scheduling policy. The developed algorithm was evaluated by comparing its performance with priority rules (SSPT, ATCS, MDD, COVERT rule) in test scenarios constructed by the sampling data. As a result, the proposed scheduling algorithms outperformed than the priority rules in terms of set-up ratio, tardiness, and makespan.

The darknet is frequently referred to as the hub of illicit online activity. In order to keep track of real-time applications and activities taking place on Darknet, traffic on that network must be analysed. It is without a doubt important to recognise network traffic tied to an unused Internet address in order to spot and investigate malicious online activity. Any observed network traffic is the result of mis-configuration from faked source addresses and another methods that monitor the unused space address because there are no genuine devices or hosts in an unused address block. Digital systems can now detect and identify darknet activity on their own thanks to recent advances in artificial intelligence. In this paper, offer a generalised method for deep learning-based detection and classification of darknet traffic. Furthermore, analyse a cutting-edge complicated dataset that contains a lot of information about darknet traffic. Next, examine various feature selection strategies to choose a best attribute for detecting and classifying darknet traffic. For the purpose of identifying threats using network properties acquired from darknet traffic, devised a hybrid deep learning (DL) approach that combines Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM). This probing technique can tell malicious traffic from legitimate traffic. The results show that the suggested strategy works better than the existing ways by producing the highest level of accuracy for categorising darknet traffic using the Black widow optimization algorithm as a feature selection approach and RNN-BiLSTM as a recognition model.

As interest in software education has increased, discussions on teaching, learning, and evaluation method it have also been active. One of the problems of software education teaching method is that the instructor cannot grasp the content of coding in progress in the learner's computer in real time, and therefore, instructors are limited in providing feedback to learners in a timely manner. To overcome this problem, in this study, we developed a software education support system that grasps the real-time learner coding situation under block-based programming environment by applying a learning analysis technique and delivers it to the instructor, and visualizes the data collected during learning through the Hadoop system. The system includes a presentation layer to which teachers and learners access, a business layer to analyze and structure code, and a DB layer to store class information, account information, and learning information. The instructor can set the content to be learned in advance in the software education support system, and compare and analyze the learner's achievement through the computational thinking components rubric, based on the data comparing the stored code with the students' code.
