목적 : 4차 산업혁명이 진행됨에 따라 타각적 굴절검사값, 수차 및 동공크기 등을 이용하여 최적의 안경처방값 을 도출해주는 머신러닝(machine learning)을 개발하고자 하였다. 방법: 시력에 영향을 줄 수 있는 안질환 및 전신질환이 없고 안구 수술 이력이 없는 근시안(1,000안)을 대상으로 진행하였다. I-Profilerplus(Zeiss, Berlin, Germany)를 사용하여 타각적 굴절이상도(objective-refraction) 및 안구수차(ocular wavefront-aberration), 동공 크기를 측정하였고, 자각적 굴절이상도(subjective-refraction)는 Visuphor500(Zeiss, Berlin, Germany)를 사용하여 구면 굴절력(S, Diopter), 원주 굴절력(C, Diopter), 난시 축(Ax, °)을 측정하였다. 측정 후, 파이썬(Python, version 3.10)을 이용하여 머신러닝 모델 생성 및 예측 성능을 확인하였다. 결과: 자각적 굴절이상도에서 구면 굴절력에 영향을 미치는 요인은 타각적 구면 굴절력, defocus aberration, spherical aberration, trefoil aberration 순으로 높았고, 원주 굴절력에 영향을 미치는 요인은 타각적 원주 굴 절력, defocus aberration, coma aberration, trefoil aberration 순으로 높았으며, 난시 축은 타각적 난시축만 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 구면 굴절력, 원주 굴절력, 난시 축의 자각적 굴절이상도와 머신러닝 예상값은 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p=0.976, 0.948, and 0.349, respectively). 결론 : 자각적 굴절이상도를 예측하는 머신러닝 모델을 생성하였고, 해당 모델의 예측된 값과 자각적 굴절이상 도와 유의한 차이가 없는 것을 통해 예측 정확도를 확인하였으며 앞으로 개인 맞춤형 처방을 위한 정확한 안경처 방값을 도출하는데 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

새만금 내에서는 종종 식물플랑크톤이 증식하기에 알맞은 환경조건이 생성되며 일시에 식물플랑크톤 대증식이 발생하면서 조 류 관리기준을 초과하는 사례가 발생하고 있다. 이를 대비하기 위하여 과학적 예측기법을 토대로, 식물플랑크톤의 종별로 가장 효과적이 고 효율적인 녹조발생 억제 방안을 제안하기 위하여 식물플랑크톤 대증식 가능성을 예측하고, 제어할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였다. 즉, 하 천에서 유입하는 영양염(DIN, PO4-P)을 정책적으로 조절하고, 갑문운영을 통해 호 내 염분을 제어하는 것이다. 먼저 관측치로부터 인공신 경망 알고리즘을 이용해 식물플랑크톤 대증식 가능성을 예측 결과, 모델의 Kappa 수는 0.7889 ~ 1.0000의 범위로, good ~ excellent 수준이었 다. 다음으로 Garson 알고리즘을 이용하여 종별로 설명변수의 중요도를 평가하였고, 또한 DIN 및 염분 값의 변화에 따른 식물플랑크톤 대 량 증식 확률을 예측하였다. 그 결과, 각 종별로 식물플랑크톤의 대증식을 억제할 수 있는 DIN과 염분 농도를 정량적으로 예측할 수 있었 다. 따라서, 향후 새만금과 같은 거대한 인공 호수에서 식물플랑크톤의 대증식을 억제하기 위한 효율적이고 효과적인 대응방안을 마련할 수 있도록 녹조제어모델을 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The large process plant is currently implementing predictive maintenance technology to transition from the traditional Time-Based Maintenance (TBM) approach to the Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) approach in order to improve equipment maintenance and productivity. The traditional techniques for predictive maintenance involved managing upper/lower thresholds (Set-Point) of equipment signals or identifying anomalies through control charts. Recently, with the development of techniques for big analysis, machine learning-based AAKR (Auto-Associative Kernel Regression) and deep learning-based VAE (Variation Auto-Encoder) techniques are being actively applied for predictive maintenance. However, this predictive maintenance techniques is only effective during steady-state operation of plant equipment, and it is difficult to apply them during start-up and shutdown periods when rises or falls. In addition, unlike processes such as nuclear and thermal power plants, which operate for hundreds of days after a single start-up, because the pumped power plant involves repeated start-ups and shutdowns 4-5 times a day, it is needed the prediction and alarm algorithm suitable for its characteristics. In this study, we aim to propose an approach to apply the optimal predictive alarm algorithm that is suitable for the characteristics of Pumped Storage Power Plant(PSPP) facilities to the system by analyzing the predictive maintenance techniques used in existing nuclear and coal power plants.

Recently, research on prediction algorithms using deep learning has been actively conducted. In addition, algorithmic trading (auto-trading) based on predictive power of artificial intelligence is also becoming one of the main investment methods in stock trading field, building its own history. Since the possibility of human error is blocked at source and traded mechanically according to the conditions, it is likely to be more profitable than humans in the long run. In particular, for the virtual currency market at least for now, unlike stocks, it is not possible to evaluate the intrinsic value of each cryptocurrencies. So it is far effective to approach them with technical analysis and cryptocurrency market might be the field that the performance of algorithmic trading can be maximized. Currently, the most commonly used artificial intelligence method for financial time series data analysis and forecasting is Long short-term memory(LSTM). However, even t4he LSTM also has deficiencies which constrain its widespread use. Therefore, many improvements are needed in the design of forecasting and investment algorithms in order to increase its utilization in actual investment situations. Meanwhile, Prophet, an artificial intelligence algorithm developed by Facebook (META) in 2017, is used to predict stock and cryptocurrency prices with high prediction accuracy. In particular, it is evaluated that Prophet predicts the price of virtual currencies better than that of stocks. In this study, we aim to show Prophet's virtual currency price prediction accuracy is higher than existing deep learning-based time series prediction method. In addition, we execute mock investment with Prophet predicted value. Evaluating the final value at the end of the investment, most of tested coins exceeded the initial investment recording a positive profit. In future research, we continue to test other coins to determine whether there is a significant difference in the predictive power by coin and therefore can establish investment strategies.

An Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm(ACO) is one of the frequently used algorithms to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP). Since the ACO searches for the optimal value by updating the pheromone, it is difficult to consider the distance between the nodes and other variables other than the amount of the pheromone. In this study, fuzzy logic is added to ACO, which can help in making decision with multiple variables. The improved algorithm improves computation complexity and increases computation time when other variables besides distance and pheromone are added. Therefore, using the algorithm improved by the fuzzy logic, it is possible to solve TSP with many variables accurately and quickly. Existing ACO have been applied only to pheromone as a criterion for decision making, and other variables are excluded. However, when applying the fuzzy logic, it is possible to apply the algorithm to various situations because it is easy to judge which way is safe and fast by not only searching for the road but also adding other variables such as accident risk and road congestion. Adding a variable to an existing algorithm, it takes a long time to calculate each corresponding variable. However, when the improved algorithm is used, the result of calculating the fuzzy logic reduces the computation time to obtain the optimum value.

The management of algal bloom is essential for the proper management of water supply systems and to maintain the safety of drinking water. Chlorophyll-a(Chl-a) is a commonly used indicator to represent the algal concentration. In recent years, advanced machine learning models have been increasingly used to predict Chl-a in freshwater systems. Machine learning models show good performance in various fields, while the process of model development requires considerable labor and time by experts. Automated machine learning(auto ML) is an emerging field of machine learning study. Auto ML is used to develop machine learning models while minimizing the time and labor required in the model development process. This study developed an auto ML to predict Chl-a using auto sklearn, one of most widely used open source auto ML algorithms. The model performance was compared with other two popular ensemble machine learning models, random forest(RF) and XGBoost(XGB). The model performance was evaluated using three indices, root mean squared error, root mean squared error-observation standard deviation ratio(RSR) and Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient of efficiency. The RSR of auto ML, RF, and XGB were 0.659, 0.684 and 0.638, respectively. The results shows that auto ML outperforms RF, and XGB shows better prediction performance than auto ML, while the differences between model performances were not significant. Shapley value analysis, an explainable machine learning algorithm, was used to provide quantitative interpretation about the model prediction of auto ML developed in this study. The results of this study present the possible applicability of auto ML for the prediction of water quality.

Recently, machine learning is widely used to solve optimization problems in various engineering fields. In this study, machine learning is applied to development of a control algorithm for a smart control device for reduction of seismic responses. For this purpose, Deep Q-network (DQN) out of reinforcement learning algorithms was employed to develop control algorithm. A single degree of freedom (SDOF) structure with a smart tuned mass damper (TMD) was used as an example structure. A smart TMD system was composed of MR (magnetorheological) damper instead of passive damper. Reward design of reinforcement learning mainly affects the control performance of the smart TMD. Various hyperparameters were investigated to optimize the control performance of DQN-based control algorithm. Usually, decrease of the time step for numerical simulation is desirable to increase the accuracy of simulation results. However, the numerical simulation results presented that decrease of the time step for reward calculation might decrease the control performance of DQN-based control algorithm. Therefore, a proper time step for reward calculation should be selected in a DQN training process.

It is important to ensure worker’s safety from radiation hazard in decommissioning site. Real-time tracking of worker’s location is one of the factors necessary to detect radiation hazard in advance. In this study, the integrated algorithm for worker tracking has been developed to ensure the safety of workers. There are three essential techniques needed to track worker’s location, which are object detection, object tracking, and estimating location (stereo vision). Above all, object detection performance is most important factor in this study because the performance of tracking and estimating location is depended on worker detection level. YOLO (You Only Look Once version 5) model capable of real-time object detection was applied for worker detection. Among the various YOLO models, a model specialized for person detection was considered to maximize performance. This model showed good performance for distinguishing and detecting workers in various occlusion situations that are difficult to detect correctly. Deep SORT (Simple Online and Realtime Tracking) algorithm which uses deep learning technique has been considered for object tracking. Deep SORT is an algorithm that supplements the existing SORT method by utilizing the appearance information based on deep learning. It showed good tracking performance in the various occlusion situations. The last step is to estimate worker’s location (x-y-z coordinates). The stereo vision technique has been considered to estimate location. It predicts xyz location using two images obtained from stereo camera like human eyes. Two images are obtained from stereo camera and these images are rectified based on camera calibration information in the integrated algorithm. And then workers are detected from the two rectified images and the Deep SORT tracks workers based on worker’s position and appearance between previous frames and current frames. Two points of workers having same ID in two rectified images give xzy information by calculating depth estimation of stereo vision. The integrated algorithm developed in this study showed sufficient possibility to track workers in real time. It also showed fast speed to enable real-time application, showing about 0.08 sec per two frames to detect workers on a laptop with high-performance GPU (RTX 3080 laptop version). Therefore, it is expected that this algorithm can be sufficiently used to track workers in real decommissioning site by performing additional parameter optimization.

The amount of temporarily stored spent nuclear fuel in South Korea will be reaching saturation in a near future. Therefore, it is an urgent issue to construct a spent nuclear fuel storage system. In order to construct the storage system, some coastal environmental characteristics such as temperature, pH, and chemical composition of sea water in South Korea have to be evaluated and predicted because they can affect in deterioration of the storage system. However, in South Korea, the coastal environmental characteristics of area where the storage system is likely to be built are not well established until now. In this study, a time-series deep-learning algorithm is developed using the Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm to predict and evaluate the coastal environmental characteristics based on the wellestablished data from Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF). As a result, by developing the predictive model to evaluate the coastal environmental characteristics, we intend to apply it for site evaluation to construct the spent nuclear fuel storage system or many other applications related to the nuclear as well.

In order to effectively and efficiently apply safeguards to new nuclear facilities, it is recommended to apply safeguards-by-design concept. In evaluating the safeguards in the early stage of the design of a facility, it is essential to analyze the diversion path for nuclear materials. This study suggests a simple method which can generate diversion paths. The essential components constituting the diversion path were reviewed and the logical flow for systematically creating the diversion path was developed. The path generation algorithm is based on this components and logical flow as well as the initial information of the nuclear materials and material flows in a planned facilities. The results will be used to develop a program module which can systematically generate diversion paths using the event tree and fault tree method.

자동 관개 시스템에서는 관수를 자동으로 개시하고 중지할 수 있는 기준값의 설정이 중요하다. 관수 기준값은 작물의 종류와 생육 시기, 토성, 용적 밀도 등에 따라 달라지는 포장 용수량의 토양 수분값으로 결정되기 때문에, 전문적인 지식과 분석 경험이 필요하여 현장 농업인이 직접 파악하는 것은 어렵다. 그래서 재배 작물의 명칭, 재배 지역 및 재배 토양의 토성 등을 조건 변수로 하여 적절한 토양 수분값을 데이터베이스로부터 추출하고, 작물의 종류 및 생육 시기별 토양수분 기준을 데이터베이스화하여 선택한 작물에 적합한 토양수분 장력값을 설정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 알고리즘을 센서부, 제어부, 구동부로 구성되어 있는 시스템에 적용하여 토양 수분을 제어할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 실험구별로 수분 제어 기준값을 설정하여 측정한 수분값이 -33 kPa 실험구에서 부합률 97.3%, -25 kPa 실험구에서 부합률 96.6%의 결과를 나타내었다. 이 시스템을 이용하여 최근 농촌지역의 고령화와 노동인구 감소에 따른 생산성 감소를 억제하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
