최근 딥러닝 및 로봇기술의 발전으로 인해 대량의 데이터를 빠르게 수집하고 처리하는 연구 분야들로 확대되었다. 이와 관련된 한 가지 분야로써 다중 로봇을 이용한 분산학습 연구가 있으며, 이는 단일 에이전트를 이용할 때보다 대량의 데이터를 빠르게 수집 및 처리하는데 용이하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 Distributed Neural Network Optimization (DiNNO) 알고리즘에서 제안한 정적 분산 학습방법과 달리 단계적 분산학습 방법을 새롭게 제안하였으며, 모델 성능을 향상시키기 위해 원시 변수를 근사하는 단계수를 상수로 고정하는 기존의 방식에서 통신회차가 늘어남에 따라 점진적으로 근사 횟수를 높이는 방법을 고안하여 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 기존 알고리즘과 제안된 알고리즘의 정성 및 정량적 성능 평가를 수행하기 MNIST 분류와 2 차원 평면도 지도화 실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 DiNNO 알고리즘보다 동일한 통신회차에서 높은 정확도를 보임과 함께 전역 최적점으로 빠르게 수렴하는 것을 입증하였다.

The discussion about capacity development (CD) has been spotlighted as significant drivers for sustainable development in recent years. Multi-dimensional natures of capacities would lead to various definitions of CD in international institutes and organizations. CD is perceived as an endogeneous process to improve actionable learning and knowledge, but most of core capacities still remain abstract notion and might be unreliable in sustainable development (SD). The paper first explicates international perspectives of CD in association with SD. An agent-based model is especially proposed to portray more details of CD. It illuminates the role of assets (or capitals, resources) in agents to impact on ingredients of CDs that are drivers or enablers for improvement of SD. A definition of sustainable capacity development is firstly articulated in international society and its conceptual framework is also creatively designed to assist concerned international organizations. The paper concludes by proposing practical spatial asset mapping linking to agent-based organizational capacity as a tool for measuring sustainable capacity development.

Under Water Sensor Networks (UWSN) has gained attraction among various communities for its potential applications like acoustic monitoring, 3D mapping, tsunami detection, oil spill monitoring, and target tracking. Unlike terrestrial sensor networks, it performs an acoustic mode of communication to carry out collaborative tasks. Typically, surface sink nodes are deployed for aggregating acoustic phenomena collected from the underwater sensors through the multi-hop path. In this context, UWSN is constrained by factors such as lower bandwidth, high propagation delay, and limited battery power. Also, the vulnerabilities to compromise the aquatic environment are in growing numbers. The paper proposes an Energy-Efficient standalone Intrusion Detection System (EEIDS) to entail the acoustic environment against malicious attacks and improve the network lifetime. In EEIDS, attributes such as node ID, residual energy, and depth value are verified for forwarding the data packets in a secured path and stabilizing the nodes' energy levels. Initially, for each node, three agents are modeled to perform the assigned responsibilities. For instance, ID agent verifies the node's authentication of the node, EN agent checks for the residual energy of the node, and D agent substantiates the depth value of each node. Next, the classification of normal and malevolent nodes is performed by determining the score for each node. Furthermore, the proposed system utilizes the sheep-flock heredity algorithm to validate the input attributes using the optimized probability values stored in the training dataset. This assists in finding out the best-fit motes in the UWSN. Significantly, the proposed system detects and isolates the malicious nodes with tampered credentials and nodes with lower residual energy in minimal time. The parameters such as the time taken for malicious node detection, network lifetime, energy consumption, and delivery ratio are investigated using simulation tools. Comparison results show that the proposed EEIDS outperforms the existing acoustic security systems.

The localization of multi-agents, such as people, animals, or robots, is a requirement to accomplish several tasks. Especially in the case of multi-robotic applications, localization is the process for determining the positions of robots and targets in an unknown environment. Many sensors like GPS, lasers, and cameras are utilized in the localization process. However, these sensors produce a large amount of computational resources to process complex algorithms, because the process requires environmental mapping. Currently, combination multi-robots or swarm robots and sensor networks, as mobile sensor nodes have been widely available in indoor and outdoor environments. They allow for a type of efficient global localization that demands a relatively low amount of computational resources and for the independence of specific environmental features. However, the inherent instability in the wireless signal does not allow for it to be directly used for very accurate position estimations and making difficulty associated with conducting the localization processes of swarm robotics system. Furthermore, these swarm systems are usually highly decentralized, which makes it hard to synthesize and access global maps, it can be decrease its flexibility. In this paper, a simple pyramid RAM-based Neural Network architecture is proposed to improve the localization process of mobile sensor nodes in indoor environments. Our approach uses the capabilities of learning and generalization to reduce the effect of incorrect information and increases the accuracy of the agent's position. The results show that by using simple pyramid RAM-base Neural Network approach, produces low computational resources, a fast response for processing every changing in environmental situation and mobile sensor nodes have the ability to finish several tasks especially in localization processes in real time.

This paper investigates a boundary tracking problem using multiple quadrotor UAVs to detect and track the boundary of physical events. We set the boundary estimation problem as a classification problem of the region in which the physical events occur, and employ SVL (Support Vector Learning). We also demonstrate a velocity vector field which is globally attractive to a desired closed path with circulation at the desired speed and a virtual phase for stabilizing the collective configuration of the multiple quadrotors. Experimental results with multiple quadrotors show that this study provides good performance of the collective boundary tracking.

In this paper, we develop interactive content services for preventing depression of users through an intelligent Internet of Things(IoT) mirror system. For interactive content services, an IoT mirror device measures attention and meditation data from an EEG headset device and also measures facial expression data such as "sad", "angery", "disgust", "neutral", " happy", and "surprise" classified by a multi-layer perceptron algorithm through an webcam. Then, it sends the measured data to an oneM2M-compliant IoT server. Based on the collected data in the IoT server, a machine learning model is built to classify three levels of depression (RED, YELLOW, and GREEN) given by a proposed merge labeling method. It was verified that the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) model could achieve about 93% of accuracy by experimental results. In addition, according to the classified level, a social network service agent sent a corresponding alert message to the family, friends and social workers. Thus, we were able to provide an interactive content service between users and caregivers.

In this paper, we introduce an optimization method to improve pursuit performance of a pursuer in a pursuit-evasion game (PEG). Pursuers build a probability map and employ a hybrid pursuit policy which combines the merits of local-max and global-max pursuit policies to search and capture evaders as soon as possible in a 2-dimensional space. We propose an episodic parameter optimization (EPO) algorithm to learn good values for the weighting parameters of a hybrid pursuit policy. The EPO algorithm is performed while many episodes of the PEG are run repeatedly and the reward of each episode is accumulated using reinforcement learning, and the candidate weighting parameter is selected in a way that maximizes the total averaged reward by using the golden section search method. We found the best pursuit policy in various situations which are the different number of evaders and the different size of spaces and analyzed results.

AGVs are often used in industrial applications to transport heavy materials around a large industrial building, such as factories or warehouses. In particular, in fulfillment centers their usefulness is maximized for automation. To increase productivity in warehouses such as fulfillment centers, sophisticated path planning of AGVs is required. We propose a scheme that can be applied to QMIX, a popular cooperative MARL algorithm. The performance was measured with three metrics in several fulfillment center layouts, and the results are presented through comparison with the performance of the existing QMIX. Additionally, we visualize the transport paths of trained AGVs for a visible analysis of the behavior patterns of the AGVs as heat maps.

Glioblastoma is the most common brain malignancies arising from glial cells. Early diagnosis and treatment plan establishment are important, and cancer is diagnosed mainly through T1CE imaging through injection of a contrast agent. However, the risk of injection of gadolinium-based contrast agents is increasing recently. Region segmentation that marks cancer regions in medical images plays a key role in CAD systems, and deep neural network models for synthesizing new images are also being studied. In this study, we propose a model that simultaneously learns the generation of T1CE images and segmentation of cancer regions. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated using similarity measurements including mean square error and peak signal-to-noise ratio, and shows average result values of 21 and 39 dB.
