Text Generation is a process of generating comprehensible texts in human languages from some underlying non-linguistic representation of information. Among several sub-processes for text generation to generate coherent texts, this paper concerns referring expression generation which produces different types of expressions to refer to previously-mentioned things in a discourse. Specifically, we focus on pronominalization by zero pronouns which frequently occur in Korean. To build a generation model of referring expressions for Korean, several features are identified based on grammatical information and cost-based centering model, which are applied to various machine learning techniques. We demonstrate that our proposed features are well defined to explain pronominalization, especially pronominalization by zero pronouns in Korean, through 95 texts from three genres - Descriptive texts, News, and Short Aesop's Fables. We also show that our model significantly outperforms previous ones with a 99.9% confidence level by a T-test.

As being the advanced analytics indispensable on big data for agile decision-making and tactical planning in enterprises, distributed processing platforms, such as Hadoop and Spark which distribute and handle the large volume of data on multiple nodes, receive great attention in the field. In Spark platform stack, Spark SQL unveiled recently to make Spark able to support distributed processing framework based on SQL. However, Spark SQL cannot effectively handle advanced analytics that involves machine learning and graph processing in terms of iterative tasks and task allocations. Motivated by these issues, this paper proposes the design of SQL-based big data optimal processing engine and processing framework to support advanced analytics in Spark environments. Big data optimal processing engines copes with complex SQL queries that involves multiple parameters and join, aggregation and sorting operations in distributed/parallel manner and the proposing framework optimizes machine learning process in terms of relational operations.

Boiling point (BP) is one of the most fundamental physicochemical properties of organic compounds to characterize and identify the thermal characteristics of target compounds. Previously developed QSPR equations, however, still had some limitation for the specific compounds, like high-energy molecules, mainly because of the lack of experimental data and less coverage. A large BP dataset of 5,923 solid organic compounds was finally secured in this study, after dedicated pre-filtration of experimental data from different sources, mostly consisting of compounds not only from common organic molecules but also from some specially used molecules, and those dataset was used to build the new BP prediction model. Various machine learning methods were performed for newly collected data based on meaningful 2D descriptor set. Results of combined check showed acceptable validity and robustness of our models, and consensus approaches of each model were also performed. Applicability domain of BP prediction model was shown based on descriptor of training set.

In this paper, we propose an on-line signature recognition algorithm using fingertip point in the air from the depth image acquired by Kinect. We use ten statistical features for each X, Y, Z axis to react to changes in Shifting and Scaling of the signature trajectories in three-dimensional space. Artificial Neural Network is a machine learning algorithm used as a tool to solve the complex classification problem in pattern recognition. We implement the proposed algorithm to actual on-line signature recognition system. In experiment, we verify the proposed method is successful to classify 4 different on-line signatures.

Disambiguation of homographs is an important job in Korean semantic processing and has been researched for long time. Recently, machine learning approaches have demonstrated good results in accuracy and speed. Other knowledge-based approaches are being researched for untrained words. This paper proposes a hybrid method based on the machine learning approach that uses a lexical semantic network. The use of a hybrid approach creates an additional corpus from subcategorization information and trains this additional corpus. A homograph tagging phase uses the hypernym of the homograph and an additional corpus. Experimentation with the Sejong Corpus and UWordMap demonstrates the hybrid method is to be effective with an increase in accuracy from 96.51% to 96.52%.

The information overload with many information resources is an inevitable problem in modern electronic life. It is more difficult to search some information with user's information needs from an uncontrolled flood of many digital information resources, such as the internet which has been rapidly increased. So, many information retrieval systems have been researched and appeared. In text retrieval systems, they have met with user's information needs. While, in image retrieval systems, they have not properly dealt with user's information needs. In this paper, for resolving this problem, we proposed the intelligent user interface for image retrieval. It is based on HCOS(Human-Computer Symmetry) model which is a layed interaction model between a human and computer. Its' methodology is employed to reduce user's information overhead and semantic gap between user and systems. It is implemented with machine learning algorithms, decision tree and backpropagation neural network, for user adaptation capabilities of intelligent image retrieval system(IIRS).

Recognizing finger movements have been used as a intuitive way of human-computer interaction. In this study, we implement an wearable device for finger motion recognition and evaluate the accuracy of several ML (Machine learning) techniques. Not only HMM (Hidden markov model) and DTW (Dynamic time warping) techniques that have been traditionally used as time series data analysis, but also NN (Neural network) technique are applied to compare and analyze the accuracy of each technique. In order to minimize the computational requirement, we also apply the pre-processing to each ML techniques. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate that the NN-based gesture recognition system achieves 99.1% recognition accuracy while the HMM and DTW achieve 96.6% and 95.9% recognition accuracy, respectively.

Pronunciation recognition systems that use only video information and ignore voice information can be applied to various customized services. In this paper, we develop a system that applies a Bayesian classifier to distinguish Korean vowels via lip shapes in images. We extract feature vectors from the lip shapes of facial images and apply them to the designed machine learning model. Our experiments show that the system's recognition rate is 94% for the pronunciation of 'A', and the system's average recognition rate is approximately 84%, which is higher than that of the CNN tested for comparison. Our results show that our Bayesian classification method with feature values from lip region landmarks is efficient on a small training set. Therefore, it can be used for application development on limited hardware such as mobile devices.

Automatic butterfly identification using images is one of the interesting research fields because it helps the related researchers studying species diversity and evolutionary and development process a lot in this field. The performance of the butterfly species identification system is dependent heavily on the quality of selected features. In this paper, we propose color intensity (CI) entropy by using the distribution of color intensities in a butterfly image. We show color intensity entropy can increase the recognition rate by 10% if it is used together with previously suggested branch length similarity entropy. In addition, the performance comparison with other features such as Eigenface, 2D Fourier transform, and 2D wavelet transform is conducted against several well known machine learning methods.

Case-based reasoning (CBR) is one of the most widely applied data mining techniques and has proven its effectiveness in various domains. Since CBR is basically based on k-Nearest Neighbors (NN) method, the value of k affects the performance of CBR model directly. Once the value of k is set, it is fixed for the lifetime of the CBR model. However, if the value is set greater or smaller than the optimal value, the performance of CBR model will be deteriorated. In this research, we propose a new method of composing the NN set using similarity scores as themselves, which we shall call s-NN method, rather than using the fixed value of k. In the s-NN method, the different number of nearest neighbors can be selected for each new case. Performance evaluation using the data from UCI Machine Learning Repository shows that the CBR model adopting the s-NN method outperforms the CBR model adopting the traditional k-NN method.
