In this Paper, we develope an effective web-based learning contents using interactive genetic algorithms with modified mutation operation. In the interactive genetic algorithm, reciprocal exchange mutation is used. But. we modify the mutation operator to improve the learning effects. The new web-based learning contents using interactive genetic algorithm provide the dynamic learning contents providing and real-time test system. Especially, learners can execute the interactive genetic algorithm according to the learners' characters and interests to select the efficient learning environments and contents sequences.

As technology in a computer hardware and software advances, efficient information retrieval from multimedia database gets highly demanded. Recently, it has been actively exploited to retrieve information based on the stored contents. However, most of the methods emphasize on the points which are far from human intuition or emotion. In order to overcome this shortcoming , this paper attempts to apply interactive genetic algorithm to content-based image retrieval. A preliminary result with subjective test shows the usefulness of this approach.

This paper deals with the human-interactive actions of a quadruped robot by using Genetic Algorithm. In case we have to work out the designed plan under the special environments, our robot will be required to have walking capability, and patterns with legs, which are designed like gaits of insect, dog and human. Our quadruped robot (called SERO) is capable of not only the basic actions operated with sensors and actuators but also the various advanced actions including walking trajectories, which are generated by Genetic Algorithm. In this paper, the body and the controller structures are proposed and kinematics analysis are performed. All of the suggested motions of SERO are generated by PC simulation and implemented in real environment successfully.

We introduce an interactive image cartooning system based on personal subjectivity. To effectively tune various parameters needed to adjust image style, our system uses interactive genetic algorithm. By selecting several pre-stylized image samples using simple user interface, the user can easily achieve the desired result without having any signal-processing knowledge. Our system reduces the parameter tuning time drastically compared to the conventional system, which involves manual parameter setting.

In this paper, we propose an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) to implement an automated 2D avatar synthesis. The IGA technique is capable of expressing user's personality in the avatar synthesis by using the user's response as a candidate for the fitness value. Our suggested IGA method is applied to creating avatars automatically. Unlike the previous works, we introduce the concepts of 'hidden population', as well as 'primitive avatar' and 'simplified genotype', which are used to overcome the shortcomings of IGA such as human fatigue or reliability, and reasonable rates of convergence with a less number of iterations. The procedure of designing avatar models consists of two steps. The first step is to detect the facial feature points and the second step is to create the subjectively optimal avatars with diversity by embedding user's preference, intuition, emotion, psychological aspects, or a more general term, KANSEI. Finally, the combined processes result in human-friendly avatars in terms of both genetic optimality and interactive GUI with reliability.

최근의 게임들은 비용에 비해 완성도가 떨어지고 플레이 타임이 짧아졌다. 이러한 문제의 해결책 중에 하나로 게이머들은 Mod를 제작하여 그들의 욕구를 충족시켰고 이는 게임의 수명을 연장하는 길로 이어진다. 하지만 Mod의 제작은 전문 지식과 능력이 요구되기에 일부 유저만이 가능했고, 그것도 대부분이 게임의 수정에 관대한 게임들 뿐이어서 대부분의 유저들은 그저 다른 사람들이 만들어 놓은 Mod를 즐기는 단계있을 뿐이었다. 본 논문에서는 게임 Mod를 구성하는 많은 부분 중 게임의 오브젝트, 특히 배경건물에 집중하여 L-system을 이용해 building footprint를 성장시킨 뒤, 3차원 공간좌표로 변환하는 방법과 이렇게 나온 건물 오브젝트들을 Interactive Genetic Algorithm을 이용해 유저가 원하는 형태를 얻을 수 있도록 하였다. 또 이 모든 것을 웹상으로 구현하여 다른 사람들과 공유할 수 있는 것은 물론, 오픈 소스 레이싱 게임인 TORCS에 실제로 적용한 결과를 보여주어 비전문가들도 특별한 도구 없이 기본 웹브라우저만으로도 게임 오브젝트를 생성할 수 있는 기법에 대해 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 사용자 개개인에 최적화된 아바타를 생성하기 위해 대화형 진화 연산(Interactive Genetic Algorithm, IGA)을 적용하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. IGA는 사용자의 선택을 적합도 평가에 사용하는 방법이기 때문에, 사용자의 개인적인 취향을 아바타 생성 과정에 반영할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 IGA가 가지고 있는 단점을 극복하기 위해 'hidden population' , 'primitive avatar' , 'simplified genotype' 기법을 제안한다. 이러한 방법들은 단시간 내에 최적화된 결과물을 생성하도록 유도함으로써 IGA 시스템의 최대 문제점인 사용자의 피로도를 최소화한다. 마지막으로, 제안하고 있는 알고리즘의 우수성을 증명하기 위해 사용자의 만족도나 신뢰도를 측정할 수 있는 독자적인 평가 방법을 소개하고 있다.

Directed graph and Lindenmayer system (L-system) are two major encoding methods of representation to develop creatures in application field of artificial life. It is difficult to define real morphology structurally using the L-systems which are a grammatical rewriting system because L-systems represent genotype as loops, procedure calls, variables, and parameters. This paper defines a class of representations called structured directed graph, which is identified by its ability to define structures of the genotype in the translation to the phenotype, and presents an example of creating 3D flowers using a directed graph which is proper method to represent real morphology, and interactive genetic algorithm which decodes the problem with human's emotional evaluation. The experimental results show that natural flower morphology can be generated by the proposed method.

An emotion-based video scene retrieval algorithm is proposed in this paper. First, abrupt/gradual shot boundaries are detected in the video clip representing a specific story Then, five video features such as 'average color histogram' 'average brightness', 'average edge histogram', 'average shot duration', and 'gradual change rate' are extracted from each of the videos and mapping between these features and the emotional space that user has in mind is achieved by an interactive genetic algorithm. Once the proposed algorithm has selected videos that contain the corresponding emotion from initial population of videos, feature vectors from the selected videos are regarded as chromosomes and a genetic crossover is applied over them. Next, new chromosomes after crossover and feature vectors in the database videos are compared based on the similarity function to obtain the most similar videos as solutions of the next generation. By iterating above procedures, new population of videos that user has in mind are retrieved. In order to show the validity of the proposed method, six example categories such as 'action', 'excitement', 'suspense', 'quietness', 'relaxation', 'happiness' are used as emotions for experiments. Over 300 commercial videos, retrieval results show 70% effectiveness in average.

This paper presents an original feature selection method for Emotion Recognition which includes many original elements. Feature selection has some merits regarding pattern recognition performance. Thus, we developed a method called thee 'Interactive Feature Selection' and the results (selected features) of the IFS were applied to an emotion recognition system (ERS), which was also implemented in this research. The innovative feature selection method was based on a Reinforcement Learning Algorithm and since it required responses from human users, it was denoted an 'Interactive Feature Selection'. By performing an IFS, we were able to obtain three top features and apply them to the ERS. Comparing those results from a random selection and Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) and Genetic Algorithm Feature Selection (GAFS), we verified that the top three features were better than the randomly selected feature set.
