Music festival industry has been grown rapidly since the mid 2000s and it has become popular culture especially for younger generation. As music festival culture becomes popular, music festival becomes bigger and a number of participants are rising continuously. However, some services which music festivals provide are not interactive. So, it makes difficult users to feel festival experience and to satisfy. Although some festivals are trying to deal with things through mobile applications, those in the market showed weaknesses. Therefore, this study aims to suggest some improvements for music festival application through user research.

However the cultural design is mainly focusing on the shape or color stereotype of different cultures, ignoring another important aspects of cultural design: the way of peoples' interacting with product. The study aims to develop usability test program for cultural user-interface design that operates in the world wide web. The study begins with discussing the nature of culture through defining culture and reviewing the depth and variables of culture. Based on the findings the structure of the usability testing program on the WWW design methods is identified. The usability testing program on the WWW comprises of five different modules: module for identifying users' demographic characteristics, module for cultural variables, module for population stereotype, module for usability testing, and module for data storage and analysis. Finally findings are summarized and further research prospects are outlined.

This study explores the Experiential Theory of John Dewey and Donald Norman's definition of user experiences to analyze the new cultural experience of trying on Hanbok among the young generation. In order to find out the demographic characteristics, the survey was conducted online. An in-depth interview was held among six women in their 20's who were randomly selected to obtain diverse consumer's opinions.

In addition, the uniqueness of wearing Hanbok which has become the non-ordinary culture and the desire to share the experience is analyzed through characteristics such as particularity. In order to develop cultural contents that are highly marketable, consistent analyzation and research of the fluctuating desire of customers are essential since users perceive their experience to be special.

제품이 가지는 감성적이고 사회적인 기능이 디자이너가 고려해야 할 중요한 요소로 대두되면서, 제품 디자인은 제품 자체를 분석하고 개선한다는 소극적인 관점에서 벗어나 사용자의 제품 사용상황을 이해하고 그 안에서 숨겨진 니즈를 파악하여 새로운 사용상황을 제안하는 적극적인 관점으로 그 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. (중략)

This study critically analyzed the user experience (UX) of mobile applications, focusing on the advertising platforms of mobile applications for culture and arts content. This study aims to examine the direction for growth of the related mobile applications and propose alternative approaches to improve usability. In this study, a mobile app named 'Moviepre' was selected, and a heuristic evaluation was performed for in-depth exploration. For the selected case, the UX Honeycomb model was reconstructed to analyze useful, usable, desirable, findable, accessible, and credible elements of the case. First, since the users' preference for the price factor did not show a significant correlation with the usefulness of the content and the interface, it is necessary to make sure that the mobile application has unique values to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Second, by adopting customer path stages for analysis, the result indicated that users continuously interact with the service from the first moment they are aware of the mobile application. Third, if the user feels uncomfortable, it is likely that these factors hinder the establishment of a long-term relationship between the users and the mobile application. Finally, brand identity should be clearly established, and brand image strategy needs to be developed to satisfy users' expectations that high-quality culture and arts content will be available through the mobile application.

In this paper, we evaluate performance of existing similarity measurement metric and propose a novel method using user's preferences information entropy to reduce MAE in memory-based collaborative recommender systems. The proposed method applies a similarity of individual inclination to traditional similarity measurement methods. We experiment on various similarity metrics under different conditions, which include an amount of data and significance weighting from n/10 to n/60, to verify the proposed method. As a result, we confirm the proposed method is robust and efficient from the viewpoint of a sparse data set, applying existing various similarity measurement methods and Significance Weighting.

Recently, open source automatic machine learning solutions have been applied in many fields. To apply open source automated machine learning to real world problems, you need to write code with expertise in machine learning. Writing code without machine learning knowledge is challenging. To solve this problem, the automatic machine learning solutions provided by startups are made easy to use with a clean user interface. In this paper, we review automatic machine learning solutions of startups.
