A design expert system for the ship structural design is developed to support inexperienced designers. To establish the knowledge-base, an expert system development shell, Nexpert, is used. Knowledge is extracted from the rules of a classification society of ships, and also from an existing ship structural program that is being used by ship designers. This knowledge is systematized using the objectoriented concept. The design support system is constructed by adding additional functions which are required for the conventional engineering design work. Added functions are; calculation of longitudinal strength, database of existing ship designs, graphical user interface, and visualization of design results. It is observed that visualizing the relationships among the rules, which are activated to draw a certain design decision, is helpful. The system can easily be updated according to changes of the rule books of ship classification societies.

A Classifier System is a system based on rules to invent new rules from the present useful ones. In this paper, Genetic Algorithms are proposed to find good classification rule of Classifier System which can extract useful information from huge database. The proposed scheme is applied to the real problems such as the car insurance problem to evaluate the performance of Genetic Algorithm based classifier systems.

In this paper, the neuro-fuzzy inferene system for the effective object recognition is studied. The proposed neuro-fuzzy inference system combines learning capability of neural network with inference process of fuzzy theory, and the system executes the fuzzy inference by neural network automatically. The proposed system consists of the antecedence neural network, the consequent neural network, and the fuzzy operational part, For dissolving the ambiguity of recognition due to input variance in the neuro-fuzzy inference system, the antecedence’s fuzzy proposition of the inference rules are automatically produced by error back propagation learining rule. Therefore, when the fuzzy inference is made, the shape of membership functions os adaptively modified according to the variation. The antecedence neural netwerk constructs a separated MNN(Model Classification Neural Network)and LNN(Line segment Classification Neural Networks)for dissolving the degradation of recognition rate. The antecedence neural network can overcome the limitation of boundary decisoion characteristics of nrural network due to the similarity of extracted features. The increased recognition rate is gained by the consequent neural network which is designed to learn inference rules for the effective system output.

A new GA-based methodology using information granules is suggested for the construction of fuzzy classifiers. The proposed scheme consists of three steps: selection of information granules, construction of the associated fuzzy sets, and tuning of the fuzzy rules. First, the genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to the development of the adequate information granules. The fuzzy sets are then constructed from the analysis of the developed information granules. An interpretable fuzzy classifier is designed by using the constructed fuzzy sets. Finally, the GA are utilized for tuning of the fuzzy rules, which can enhance the classification performance on the misclassified data (e.g., data with the strange pattern or on the boundaries of the classes). To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, an example, the classification of the Iris data, is provided.

The teach pendant and keyboard have been used as an input device of control command in human-robot sustem. But, many problems occur in case that the usef is a novice. So, speech recognition system is required to communicate between a human and the robot. In this study, Korean voice commands, eitht robot commands, and ten digits based on the broad phonetic analysis are described. Applying broad phonetic analysis, phonemes of voice commands are divided into phoneme groups, such as plosive, fricative, affricative, nasal, and glide sound, having similar features. And then, the feature parameters and their ranges to detect phoneme groups are found by minimax method. Classification rules are consisted of combination of the feature parameters, such as zero corssing rate(ZCR), log engery(LE), up and down(UD), formant frequency, and their ranges. Voice commands were recognized by the classification rules. The recognition rate was over 90 percent in this experiment. Also, this experiment showed that the recognition rate about digits was better than that about robot commands.

Ripple Down Rules(RDR)이론은 지식베이스시스템을 지식공학구축기술 또는 지식공학자의 도움 없이 특수분야전문가에 의해 효율적으로 유지보수, 구축되어진다. 특히 시스템의 운용 중 지식베이스의 수정을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있다. 본 논문은 단일결론을 생성하는 RDR이론의 확장인 복수(複數)결론(multiple classification)을 유도하는 MCRDR이론에 대하여 설명한다. MCRDR은 복잡한 복수결론을 허락하면서 RDR이론의 최대 장점인 지식베이스의 간편한 유지보수 기증을 유지한다. MCRDR의 KA과정, 기초케이스 문제해결방법, 그리고 복수결론 추론문제에 대하여 논할 것이다. MCRDR시스템의 우수성을 모의전문가를 이용한 시스템 수축과 실험으로 증명해 보일 것이다. 이 실험을 통하여 복수결론을 지원하는 MCRDR이론이 단일결론을 지원하는 RDR이론을 통하여 효율적으로 증명하고, 또한 기존의 기계학습방법과의 차이점도 보여줄 것이다.

This paper deals with rule extraction from data using rough set theory. We construct the rule base in a hierarchical granulation structure by applying core as a classification criteria at each level. When more than one core exist, the coverage is used for the selection of an appropriate one among them to increase the classification rate and accuracy. In Addition, a probabilistic approach is suggested so that the partially useful information included in inconsistent data can be contributed to knowledge reduction in order to decrease the effect of the uncertainty or vagueness of data. As a result, the proposed method yields more proper and efficient rule base in compatability and size. The simulation result shows that it gives a good performance in spite of very simple rules and short conditionals.

This paper describes ongoing work on the correction of adverb errors committed by Korean learners studying English as a foreign language (EFL), using an automated English writing assessment system. Adverb errors are commonly found in learners 'writings, but handling those errors rarely draws an attention in natural language processing due to complicated characteristics of adverb. To correctly detect the errors, adverbs are classified according to their grammatical functions, meanings and positions within a sentence. Adverb errors are collected from learners' sentences, and classified into five categories adopting a traditional error analysis. The error classification in conjunction with the adverb categorization is implemented into a set of mal-rules which automatically identifies the errors. When an error is detected, the system corrects the error and suggests error specific feedback. The feedback includes the types of errors, a corrected string of the error and a brief description of the error. This attempt suggests how to improve adverb error correction method as well as to provide richer diagnostic feedback to the learners.

The International Association of Classification Societies(IACS) can trace its original back to the International Conference on Load Lines of 1930 and was established in 1968. Long before the formal foundation of IACS, a number of working parties existed to carry out studies of specific topics concerning technical rules of classification. The general terms of reference of the working groups of IACS are to draft unified rules and regulations between Societies, to study safety standards at the request of the International Maritime Organization(IMO) and to prepare unified interpretations of technical regulations of international conventions. As an associate member since 1975, the Korean Resister of Shipping has been actively attending the meeting of IACS working parties. In this paper, summaries of major agenda of the working parties including history of unified requirements and relevant technical tendencies are explained for the purpose of providing better understanding of the rule development.
