The importance of data in the development of deep learning is very high. Data with high morphological features are usually utilized in the domains where careful lens calibrations are needed by a human to capture those data. Synthesis of high morphological data for that domain can be a great asset to improve the classification accuracy of systems in the field. Unsupervised learning can be employed for this task. Generating photo-realistic objects of interest has been massively studied after Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) was introduced. In this paper, we propose Morpho-GAN, a method that unifies several GAN techniques to generate quality data of high morphology. Our method introduces a new suitable training objective in the discriminator of GAN to synthesize images that follow the distribution of the original dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can generate plausible data as good as other modern baseline models while taking a less complex during training.

최근 SNS 의 발달로 인해 자신의 감정을 빠르고 효과적으로 전달할 수 있는 이모지의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 하지만 이모지를 수동으로 생성하기 위해서 시간과 비용이 많이 들고 자신의 감정에 맞는 이모지를 찾아야 하며 해당 이모지가 없을 수 있다. 기존 DCGAN 을 활용한 이모지 자동 생성연구에서는 부족한 데이터셋으로 인해 G(Generator)와 D(Discriminator)가 동등하게 학습하지 못해서 두 모델 간 성능 차이가 발생한다. D 가 G 보다 최적해에 빠르게 수렴하여 G 가 학습이 되지 않아 낮은 품질의 이모지를 생성하는 불안정 문제가 발생한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 Latent vector 분포를 데이터셋에 맞게 조정하여 적은 데이터로 G 에서 안정적으로 학습할 수 있게 하는 G 구조와 다양한 이모지 생성을 위한 Latent vector 평균 조정 기법을 제안한다. 비교 실험 결과 불안정 문제를 개선하였고 FID 와 IS 수치를 통해 성능 개선 효과를 검증했다.

This study deals with a method of combining image generation using Semi Supervised Learning based on GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) and image classification using ResNet50. Through this, a new approach was proposed to obtain more accurate and diverse results by integrating image generation and classification. The generator and discriminator are trained to distinguish generated images from actual images, and image classification is performed using ResNet50. In the experimental results, it was confirmed that the quality of the generated images changes depending on the epoch, and through this, we aim to improve the accuracy of industrial accident prediction. In addition, we would like to present an efficient method to improve the quality of image generation and increase the accuracy of image classification through the combination of GAN and ResNet50.

Recently, mobile manipulators have been utilized in agriculture industry for weed removal and harvest automation. This paper proposes a domain adaptive fruit detection method for harvest automation, by utilizing OWL-ViT model which is an open-vocabulary object detection model. The vision-language model can detect objects based on text prompt, and therefore, it can be extended to detect objects of undefined categories. In the development of deep learning models for real-world problems, constructing a large-scale labeled dataset is a time-consuming task and heavily relies on human effort. To reduce the labor-intensive workload, we utilized a large-scale public dataset as a source domain data and employed a domain adaptation method. Adversarial learning was conducted between a domain discriminator and feature extractor to reduce the gap between the distribution of feature vectors from the source domain and our target domain data. We collected a target domain dataset in a real-like environment and conducted experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In experiments, the domain adaptation method improved the AP50 metric from 38.88% to 78.59% for detecting objects within the range of 2m, and we achieved 81.7% of manipulation success rate.

As deep learning technology in natural language and visual processing has rapidly developed, collaborative filtering-based recommendation systems using deep learning technology are being actively introduced in the recommendation field. In this study, OCF-GAN, a hybrid collaborative filtering model using GAN, was proposed to solve the one-class and cold-start problems, and its usefulness was verified through performance evaluation. OCF-GAN based on conditional GAN consists of a generator that generates a pattern similar to the actual user preference pattern and a discriminator that tries to distinguish the actual preference pattern from the generated preference pattern. When the training is completed, user preference vectors are generated based on the actual distribution of preferred items. In addition, the cold-start problem was solved by using a hybrid collaborative filtering recommendation method that additionally utilizes user and item profiles. As a result of the performance evaluation, it was found that the performance of the OCF-GAN with additional information was superior in all indicators of the Top 5 and Top 20 recommendations compared to the existing GAN-based recommender. This phenomenon was more clearly revealed in experiments with cold-start users and items.

Restoring of damaged images is a fundamental problem that was attempted before digital image processing technology appeared. Various algorithms for reconstructing damaged images have been introduced. However, the results show inferior restoration results compared with manual restoration. Recent developments of DNN (Deep Neural Network) have introduced various studies that apply it to image restoration. However, if the wide area is damaged, it can not be solved by a general interpolation method. In this case, it is necessary to reconstruct the damaged area through contextual information of surrounding images. In this paper, we propose an image restoration network using a generative adversarial network (GAN). The proposed system consists of image generation network and discriminator network. The proposed network is verified through experiments that it is possible to recover not only the natural image but also the texture of the original image through the inference of the damaged area in restoring various types of images.

A low-cost, high-performance 40 Gb/s clock recovery module using a phase-locked loop(PLL) for a 40 Gb/s optical receiver with the clock-hold function has been designed and implemented. It consists of a clock extractor circuit, an RF mixer and a frequency discriminator for phase/frequency detection, a VC-DRO, a phase shifter, and a clock-hold circuit. The extracted 40 GHz clock is synchronized with a stable 10 GHz VC-DRO. The clock stability and jitter characteristics of the implemented PLL-based clock recovery module are significantly improved as compared with those of the conventional open-loop type clock recovery module with a DR filter. The measured peak-to-peak RMS jitter is about 230 fs. When an input signal is dropped, the 40 GHz clock is maintained continuously by the hold circuit.

We have developed the digital radiography system applied by the one dimensional multiwire proportional chamber. X-ray position signals were obtained from anode wires which were connected to counters through amplifiers and discriminators. The chamber was made of gas flow type and detector gas was P10. The threshold voltage which gives to the discriminator is independent on the neighboring channels. This improved the uniformity of the detector. Then the differential nonlineality is ${\pm}4%$. Increasing the gas pressure, the spatial resolution is about 1.4-mm at which the pitch of the anode wire is 2-mm. The object is scanned in vertical direction to take an image. The number of pixels in the image is $32{\times}32$.

Objectives:The purpose of this study is to 1) conduct a discrimination analysis of schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder using MMPI profile through artificial neural network analysis and logistic regression analysis, 2) to make a comparison between advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, and 3) to demonstrate the usefulness of artificial neural network analysis of psychiatric data. Procedure:The MMPI profiles for 181 schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder patients were selected. Of these profiles, 50 were randomly placed in the learning group and the remaining 131 were placed in the validation group. The artificial neural network was trained using the profiles of the learning group and the 131 profiles of the validation group were analyzed. A logistic regression analysis was then conducted in a similar manner. The results of the two analyses were compared and contrasted using sensitivity, specificity, ROC curves, and kappa index. Results:Logistic regression analysis and artificial neural network analysis both exhibited satisfactory discriminating ability at Kappa index of greater than 0.4. The comparison of the two methods revealed artificial neural network analysis is superior to logistic regression analysis in its discriminating capacity, displaying higher values of Kappa index, specificity, and AUC(Area Under the Curve) of ROC curve than those of logistic regression analysis. Conclusion:Artificial neural network analysis is a new tool whose frequency of use has been increasing for its superiority in nonlinear applications. However, it does possess insufficiencies such as difficulties in understanding the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Nevertheless, when used in conjunction with other analysis tools which supplement it, such as the logistic regression analysis, it may serve as a powerful tool for psychiatric data analysis.

Considering the prevalent use of mobile devices and the mobile Internet in Korea, there should be open doors for retailers to a different type of distribution if they could find out what makes consumers satisfied with m-commerce sites as well as what makes consumers purchase from m-commerce sites. Therefore, we explored: 1) the antecedents of satisfaction with m-commerce sites and 2) the determinants of purchasers vs. browsers of m-commerce. As possible antecedents of the two dependent variables, the following were utilized in the current study: the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), perceived shopping values, and interactivity. According to the results of this study, these variables related to the performance of mobile commerce sites (Perceived ease of use, Perceived usefulness, Synchronicity, Richness of content, and Contextual services) significantly affected satisfaction with m-commerce sites. On the other hand, the most important discriminator of an m-commerce purchaser vs. a browser was human-oriented interactivity, especially interpersonal communication among users. With the help of information technology.
