As human activities in Korea are spread throughout the mountains, forest fires often affect residential areas, infrastructure, and other facilities. Hence, it is necessary to detect fire-damaged areas quickly to enable support and recovery. Remote sensing is the most efficient tool for this purpose. Fire damage detection experiments were conducted on the east coast of Korea. Because this area comprises a mixture of forest and artificial land cover, data with low resolution are not suitable. We used Sentinel-2 multispectral instrument (MSI) data, which provide adequate temporal and spatial resolution, and the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) algorithm in this study. Six bands of Sentinel-2 MSI and two indices of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized burn ratio (NBR) were used as features for kNN classification. The kNN classifier was trained using 2,000 randomly selected samples in the fire-damaged and undamaged areas. Outliers were removed and a forest type map was used to improve classification performance. Numerous experiments for various neighbors for kNN and feature combinations have been conducted using bi-temporal and uni-temporal approaches. The bi-temporal classification performed better than the uni-temporal classification. However, the uni-temporal classification was able to detect severely damaged areas.

Smart phone usage has increased exponentially and open source based Android OS occupy significant market share. However, various malicious applications that use the characteristic of Android threaten users. In this paper, we construct an efficient malicious application detector by using the principle component analysis and the incremental k nearest neighbor algorithm, which consider an required permission, of Android applications. The cross validation is exploited in order to find a critical parameter of the algorithm. For the performance evaluation of our approach, we simulate a real data set of Contagio Mobile.

We had proposed the RPA(Recursive Partition Averaging) method in order to improve the storage requirement and classification rate of the Memory Based Reasoning. That algorithm worked not bad in many area, however, the major drawbacks of RPA are it's partitioning condition and the way of extracting major patterns. We propose an adaptive RPA algorithm which uses the FPD(feature-based population densimeter) to stop the ARPA partitioning process and produce, instead of RPA's averaged major pattern, optimizing resulting hyperrectangles. The proposed algorithm required only approximately 40% of memory space that is needed in k-NN classifier, and showed a superior classification performance to the RPA. Also, by reducing the number of stored patterns, it showed an excellent results in terms of classification when we compare it to the k-NN.

This study aims to present a method for implementing a decision support system that can be used for selecting emerging technologies by applying a machine learning-based automatic classification technique. To conduct the research, the architecture of the entire system was built and detailed research steps were conducted. First, emerging technology candidate items were selected and trend data was automatically generated using a big data system. After defining the conceptual model and pattern classification structure of technological development, an efficient machine learning method was presented through an automatic classification experiment. Finally, the analysis results of the system were interpreted and methods for utilization were derived. In a DTW-kNN-based classification experiment that combines the Dynamic Time Warping(DTW) method and the k-Nearest Neighbors(kNN) classification model proposed in this study, the identification performance was up to 87.7%, and particularly in the 'eventual' section where the trend highly fluctuates, the maximum performance difference was 39.4% points compared to the Euclidean Distance(ED) algorithm. In addition, through the analysis results presented by the system, it was confirmed that this decision support system can be effectively utilized in the process of automatically classifying and filtering by type with a large amount of trend data.

본 논문에서는 문서 분류(document classification) 성능을 높이기 위해 다음과 같은 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 패턴 분류 문제에 있어서 우수한 성능을 보이는 SVM(Support Vector Machine)을 사용하여 분류 하고, 마진을 만족하는 데이터를 다시 k-NN 으로 분류를 한다. 단순히 SVM만을 사용한것보다. k-NN을 함께 사용한것이 더 높은 성능을 보였다.

텍스트 범주화에 관한 선행연구에서 자주 사용되면서 좋은 성능을 보인 자질 선정 기법은 문헌빈도와 카이제곱 통계량 등이다. 그러나 이들은 단어 자체가 갖고 있는 모호성은 제거하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 kNN 분류기를 이용한 범주화 실험에서 단어간의 상호 관련성이 자동적으로 유도됨으로써 단어 자체 보다는 단어의 개념을 분석하는 잠재의미색인 기법을 자질 선정 방법으로 제안한다.

K-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors), which is a well-known instance-based learning algorithm, simply stores entire training patterns in memory, and uses a distance function to classify a test pattern. K-NN is proven to show satisfactory performance, but it is notorious formemory usage and lengthy computation. Various studies have been found in the literature in order to minimize memory usage and computation time, and NGE (Nested Generalized Exemplar) theory is one of them. In this paper, we propose RPA (Recursive Partition Averaging) and IRPA (Incremental RPA) which is an incremental version of RPA. RPA partitions the entire pattern space recursively, and generates representatives from each partition. Also, due to the fact that RPA is prone to produce excessive number of partitions as the number of features in a pattern increases, we present IRPA which reduces the number of representative patterns by processing the training set in an incremental manner. Our proposed methods have been successfully shown to exhibit comparable performance to k-NN with a lot less number of patterns and better result than EACH system which implements the NGE theory.

Feature selection and feature weighting are useful techniques for improving the classification accuracy of k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) classifier. The main propose of feature selection and feature weighting is to reduce the number of features, by eliminating irrelevant and redundant features, while simultaneously maintaining or enhancing classification accuracy. In this paper, a novel hybrid approach is proposed for simultaneous feature selection, feature weighting and choice of k in k-NN classifier based on Genetic Algorithm. The results have indicated that the proposed algorithm is quite comparable with and superior to existing classifiers with or without feature selection and feature weighting capability.

As a PD classification method, statistical distribution parameters have been used during several ten years. And this parameters are recently finger print method, NN(Neural Network) and etc. So in this paper we studied finger print method and NN with BP(Back propagation) learning algorithm using the statistical distribution parameter, and compared with two method as classification method. As a result of comparison, classification of NN is more good result than Finger print method in respect to calculation speed, visible effect and simplicity. So, NN has more advantage as a tool for PD classification.

지능형 학습 시스템은 학습자의 학습 과정에서 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 학습자에게 맞는 전략을 세우고 적합한 서비스를 제공하는 시스템이다. 학습자에게 적합한 서비스를 위해서는 학습자 모델링 작업이 우선시 되며, 이 모델 생성을 위해서 학습자의 학습 과정에서 발생한 데이터를 수집하고 분석하게 된다. 하지만, 수집된 데이터가 학습자의 일관되지 못한 행위나 비예측 학습 성향을 포함하고 있다면, 생성된 모델을 신뢰하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 학습자에게서 수집된 데이터를 거리기반 이상치 선별 방법인 k-NN을 이용하여 이상치를 선별한다. 실험에서는 홈 인테리어 컨텐츠 기반에 학습자의 학습 행위에 대한 학습 성향을 진단하기 위한 DOLLS-HI를 이용하여, 수집된 학습자의 데이터에서 이상치를 분류하고 학습 성향 진단을 위한 모델을 생성하였다. 생성된 모델은 이상치 분류전과 비교하여 신뢰가 향상된 것을 확인하였다.
