Short-term traffic flow prediction plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in areas such as transportation management, traffic control and guidance. For short-term traffic flow regression predictions, the main challenge stems from the non-stationary property of traffic flow data. In this paper, we design an ensemble cascading prediction framework based on extremely randomized trees (extra-trees) using a boosting technique called EET to predict the short-term traffic flow under non-stationary environments. Extra-trees is a tree-based ensemble method. It essentially consists of strongly randomizing both the attribute and cut-point choices while splitting a tree node. This mechanism reduces the variance of the model and is, therefore, more suitable for traffic flow regression prediction in non-stationary environments. Moreover, the extra-trees algorithm uses boosting ensemble technique averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control overfitting. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that extra-trees have been used as fundamental building blocks in boosting committee machines. The proposed approach involves predicting 5 min in advance using real-time traffic flow data in the context of inherently considering temporal and spatial correlations. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher accuracy and lower variance and computational complexity when compared to the existing methods.

In this paper we propose a fast and precise control algorithm for a mobile robot, which aims at the self-tuning control applying two multi-layered neural networks to the structure of computed torque method. Through this algorithm, the nonlinear terms of external disturbance caused by variable task environments and dynamic model errors are estimated and compensated in real time by a long term neural network which has long learning period to extract the non-linearity globally. A short term neural network which has short teaming period is also used for determining optimal gains of PID compensator in order to come over the high frequency disturbance which is not known a priori, as well as to maintain the stability. To justify the global effectiveness of this algorithm where each of the long term and short term neural networks has its own functions, simulations are peformed. This algorithm can also be utilized to come over the serious shortcoming of neural networks, i.e., inefficiency in real time.

Large workspace and strong grasping force are required when a robot manipulates big and/or heavy objects. In that situation, bimanual manipulation is more useful than unimanual manipulation. However, the control of both hands to manipulate an object requires a more complex model compared to unimanual manipulation. Learning by human demonstration is a useful technique for a robot to learn a model. In this paper, we propose an imitation learning method of bimanual object manipulation by human demonstrations. For robust imitation of bimanual object manipulation, movement trajectories of two hands are encoded as a movement trajectory of the object and a force trajectory to grasp the object. The movement trajectory of the object is modeled by using the framework of dynamic movement primitives, which represent demonstrated movements with a set of goal-directed dynamic equations. The force trajectory to grasp an object is also modeled as a dynamic equation with an adjustable force term. These equations have an adjustable force term, where locally weighted regression and multiple linear regression methods are employed, to imitate complex non-linear movements of human demonstrations. In order to show the effectiveness our proposed method, a movement skill of pick-and-place in simulation environment is shown.

An indoor navigation system that utilizes long-term evolution (LTE) signals has the benefit of no additional infrastructure installation expenses and low base station database management costs. Among the LTE signal measurements, received signal strength (RSS) is particularly appealing because it can be easily obtained with mobile devices. Propagation channel models can be used to estimate the position of mobile devices with RSS. However, conventional channel models have a shortcoming in that they do not discriminate between line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions of the received signal. Accordingly, a previous study has suggested separated LOS and NLOS channel models. However, a method for determining LOS and NLOS conditions was not devised. In this study, a machine learning-based LOS/NLOS classification method using RSS measurements is developed. We suggest several machine-learning features and evaluate various machine-learning algorithms. As an indoor experimental result, up to 87.5% classification accuracy was achieved with an ensemble algorithm. Furthermore, the range estimation accuracy with an average error of 13.54 m was demonstrated, which is a 25.3% improvement over the conventional channel model.

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 도메인에 대한 소프트웨어 요구사항 명세서로부터 수집된 요구사항을 데이터로 활용하여 데이터 중심적 접근법(Data-driven Approach)의 연구를 통해 요구사항을 분류한다. 이 과정에서 기존 요구사항의 특징과 정보를 바탕으로 다양한 자연어처리를 이용한 데이터 전처리와 기계학습 모델을 통해 요구사항을 기능적 요구사항과 비기능적 요구사항으로 분류하고 각 조합의 결과를 제시한다. 그 결과로, 요구사항을 분류하는 과정에서, 자연어처리를 이용한 데이터 전처리에서는 어간 추출과 불용어제거와 같은 토큰의 개수와 종류를 감소하여 데이터의 희소성을 좀 더 밀집형태로 변형하는 데이터 전처리보다는 단어 빈도수와 역문서 빈도수를 기반으로 단어의 가중치를 계산하는 데이터 전처리가 다른 전처리보다 좋은 결과를 도출할 수 있었다. 이를 통해, 모든 단어를 고려하여 가중치 값은 기계학습에서 긍정적인 요인을 볼 수 있고 오히려 문장에서 의미 없는 단어를 제거하는 불용어 제거는 부정적인 요소로 확인할 수 있었다.

비강체 정합은 임상적 필요성은 높으나 계산 복잡도가 높고, 정합의 정확성 및 강건성을 확보하기 어려운 분야이다. 본 논문은 비지도 학습 환경에서 3차원 뇌 자기공명 영상 데이터에 딥러닝 네트워크를 이용한 비강체 정합 기법을 제안한다. 서로 다른 환자의 두 영상을 입력받아 네트워크를 통하여 두 영상 간의 특징 벡터를 생성하고, 변위 벡터장을 만들어 기준 영상에 맞추어 다른 쪽 영상을 변형시킨다. 네트워크는 U-Net 형태를 기반으로 설계하여 정합 시 두 영상의 전역적, 지역적인 차이를 모두 고려한 특징 벡터를 만들 수 있고, 손실함수에 균일화 항을 추가하여 3차원 선형보간법 적용 후에 실제 뇌의 움직임과 유사한 변형 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 방법은 비지도 학습을 통해 임의의 두 영상만을 입력으로 받아 단일 패스 변형으로 비강체 정합을 수행한다. 이는 반복적인 최적화 과정을 거치는 비학습 기반의 정합 방법들보다 빠르게 수행할 수 있다. 실험은 50명의 뇌를 촬영한 3차원 자기공명 영상을 가지고 수행하였고, 정합 전·후의 Dice Similarity Coefficient 측정 결과 평균 0.690으로 정합 전과 비교하여 약 16% 정도의 유사도 향상을 확인하였다. 또한, 비학습 기반 방법과 비교하여 유사한 성능을 보여주면서 약 10,000배 정도의 속도 향상을 보여주었다. 제안 기법은 다양한 종류의 의료 영상 데이터의 비강체 정합에 활용이 가능하다.

Early detection of endometrial carcinoma in uterus is essential for effective treatment. Endometrial carcinoma is the worst kind of endometrium cancer among the others since it is considerably more likely to affect the additional parts of the body if not detected and treated early. Non-invasive medical computer vision, also known as medical image processing, is becoming increasingly essential in the clinical diagnosis of various diseases. Such techniques provide a tool for automatic image processing, allowing for an accurate and timely assessment of the lesion. One of the most difficult aspects of developing an effective automatic categorization system is the absence of huge datasets. Using image processing and deep learning, this article presented an artificial endometrium cancer diagnosis system. The processes in this study include gathering a dermoscopy images from the database, preprocessing, segmentation using hybrid Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and optimizing the weights using the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The characteristics of the damaged endometrium cells are retrieved using the feature extraction approach after the Magnetic Resonance pictures have been segmented. The collected characteristics are classified using a deep learning-based methodology called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bi-directional LSTM classifiers. After using the publicly accessible data set, suggested classifiers obtain an accuracy of 97% and segmentation accuracy of 93%.

This paper presents an automatic proficiency assessment method for a non-native Korean read utterance using bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM)-based acoustic models (AMs) and speech data augmentation techniques. Specifically, the proposed method considers two scenarios, with and without prompted text. The proposed method with the prompted text performs (a) a speech feature extraction step, (b) a forced-alignment step using a native AM and non-native AM, and (c) a linear regression-based proficiency scoring step for the five proficiency scores. Meanwhile, the proposed method without the prompted text additionally performs Korean speech recognition and a subword un-segmentation for the missing text. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method with prompted text improves the performance for all scores when compared to a method employing conventional AMs. In addition, the proposed method without the prompted text has a fluency score performance comparable to that of the method with prompted text.
