Liver cancer is the most fatal cancer that occurs worldwide. In order to diagnose liver cancer, the patient's physical condition was checked by using a CT technique using radiation. Segmentation was needed to diagnose the liver on the patient's abdominal CT scan, which the radiologists had to do manually, which caused tremendous time and human mistakes. In order to automate, researchers attempted segmentation using image segmentation algorithms in computer vision field, but it was still time-consuming because of the interactive based and the setting value. To reduce time and to get more accurate segmentation, researchers have begun to attempt to segment the liver in CT images using CNNs, which show significant performance in various computer vision fields. The pixel value, or numerical value, of the CT image is called the Hounsfield Unit (HU) value, which is a relative representation of the transmittance of radiation, and usually ranges from about -2000 to 2000. In general, deep learning researchers reduce or limit this range and use it for training to remove noise and focus on the target organ. Here, we observed that the range of HU values was limited in many studies but different in various liver segmentation studies, and assumed that performance could vary depending on the HU range. In this paper, we propose the possibility of considering HU value range as a hyper parameter. U-Net and ResUNet were used to compare and experiment with different HU range limit preprocessing of CHAOS dataset under limited conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that the results are different depending on the HU range. This proves that the range limiting the HU value itself can be a hyper parameter, which means that there are HU ranges that can provide optimal performance for various models.

Understanding decimal numbers is important in mathematics as well as real-life contexts. However, lots of students focus on procedures or algorithms of decimal numbers without understanding its meanings. This study analyzed teaching method related to decimal numbers in a series of mathematics textbooks of Korea, Japan, Singapore and the US. The results showed that three countries except Japan introduced the decimal numbers as another name of fraction, which highlights the relation between the concept of decimal numbers and fractions. And limited meanings of decimal numbers were shown such as 'equal parts of a whole' and 'measurement'. Especially in the korean textbooks, relationships between the decimals were dealt instrumentally and small number of models such as number lines or $10{\times}10$ grids were used repeatedly. Based these results, this study provides implications on what and how to deal with decimal numbers in teaching and learning decimal numbers with textbooks.

In this paper, an efficient signal interference control technique to improve the high convergence speed of LMS algorithms is introduced in the adaptive transversal filter of DS/SS. The convergence characteristics of the proposed algorithm, whose coefficients are multiply adapted in a symbol time period by recycling the received data, is analyzed to prove theoretically the improvement of high convergence speed. According as the step-size parameter ${\mu}$ is increased, the rate of convergence of the algorithm is controlled. Also, an increase in the stop-size parameter ${\mu}$ has the effect of reducing the variation in the experimentally computed learning curve. Increasing the eigenvalue spread has the effect of controlling which is downed the rate of convergence of the adaptive equalizer. Increasing the steady-state value of the average squared error, proposed algorithm also demonstrate the superiority of signal interference control to the filter algorithm increasing convergence speed by (B+1) times due to the data-recycling LMS technique.

Recently UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle) is frequently used not only for military purpose but also for civil purpose. UAV automatically navigates following the coordinates input in advance using GPS information. However it is impossible when GPS cannot be received because of jamming or external interference. In order to solve this problem, we propose a real-time segmentation and classification algorithm for the specific regions from UAV image in this paper. We use the super-pixels algorithm using graph-based image segmentation as a pre-processing stage for the feature extraction. We choose the most ideal model by analyzing various color models and mixture color models. Also, we use support vector machine for classification, which is one of the machine learning algorithms and can use small quantity of training data. 18 color and texture feature vectors are extracted from the UAV image, then 3 classes of regions; river, vinyl house, rice filed are classified in real-time through training and prediction processes.

This paper proposes to segment skin color areas using a clustering algorithm. Most of previously proposed clustering algorithms have some difficulties, since they generally detect hyperspherical clusters, run in a batch mode, and predefine a number of clusters. In this paper, we use a well-known elliptical clustering algorithm, an EM algorithm, and modify it to learn on-line and find automatically the number of clusters, called to an EAM algorithm. The effectiveness of the EAM algorithm is demonstrated on a task of skin color region segmentation. Experimental results present the EAM algorithm automatically finds a right number of clusters in a given image without any information on the number. Comparing with the EM algorithm, we achieved better segmentation results with the EAM algorithm. Successful results were achieved to detect and segment skin color regions using a conditional probability on a region. Also, we applied to classify images with persons and got good classification results.

Recently, with the IPTV services, e-learning, real-time broadcasting and e-contents, many application services need the multicasting routing protocol. In this paper, the performance of the algorithm to assign the rendezvous router (RP: rendezvous point) in the center-based multicasting mesh network is analyzed. The estimated distance to select RP in the candidate nodes is calculated, and the node minimizing the distance is selected as the optimal RP. We estimate the distance by using the maximum distance, average distance, and mean of the maximum and average distance between the RP and members. The performance of the algorithm is compared with the optimal algorithm of all enumeration. With the assumptions of mesh network and randomly positioned for sources and members, the simulations for different parameters are studied. From the simulation results, the performance deviation between the algorithm with minimum cost and optimal method is evaluated as 6.2% average.

Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) has greatly changed the parallel programming paradigm for transaction processing. Since Intel has recently proposed Transactional Synchronization Extension (TSX), a number of studies based on HTM have been conducted. However, the existing studies support conflict prediction for a single cause of the transaction processing and provide a standardized TSX environment for all workloads. To solve the problems, we propose an efficient hardware transactional memory scheme for processing transactions in multi-core in-memory environment. First, the proposed scheme determines whether to use Software Transactional Memory (STM) or the serial execution as a fallback path of HTM by using a prediction matrix to collect the information of previously executed transactions. Second, the proposed scheme performs efficient transaction processing according to the characteristic of a given workload by providing a retry policy based on machine learning algorithms. Finally, through the experimental performance evaluation using Stanford transactional applications for multi-processing (STAMP), the proposed scheme shows 10~20% better performance than the existing schemes.

Clustering method which based on sentence type or document genre is a technique used to improve translation quality of SMT(statistical machine translation) by domain-specific translation. But there is no previous research using sentence type and document genre information simultaneously. In this paper, we suggest an integrated clustering method that classifying sentence type by syntactic structure similarity and document genre by word similarity information. We interpolated domain-specific models from clusters with general models to improve translation quality of SMT system. Kernel function and cosine measures are applied to calculate structural similarity and word similarity. With these similarities, we used machine learning algorithms similar to K-means to clustering. In Japanese-English patent translation corpus, we got 2.5% point relative improvements of translation quality at optimal case.
