A new metric of absolute percentage error for intermittent demand forecasts
Sung‐Il Kim, Heeyoung Kim
SJR Q1International Journal of ForecastingOA

The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is one of the most widely used measures of forecast accuracy, due to its advantages of scale-independency and interpretability. However, MAPE has the significant disadvantage that it produces infinite or undefined values for zero or close-to-zero actual values. In order to address this issue in MAPE, we propose a new measure of forecast accuracy called the mean arctangent absolute percentage error (MAAPE). MAAPE has been developed through looking at MAPE

Detection and clustering of mixed-type defect patterns in wafer bin maps
Jin-Ho Kim, Youngmin Lee, Heeyoung Kim
SJR Q1IISE Transactions

In semiconductor manufacturing, a wafer bin map (WBM) is a map that consists of assigned bin values for dies based on wafer test results (e.g., value 1 for good dies and value 0 for defective dies). The bin values of adjacent dies are often spatially correlated, forming some systematic defect patterns. These non-random defect patterns occur due to assignable causes; therefore, it is important to identify these systematic defect patterns in order to know the root causes of failure and to take act

Personality design of sociable robots by control of gesture design factors
Heeyoung Kim, Sonya S. Kwak, Myungsuk Kim

The objective of this study is to express the four types of personality of a robot based on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator by controlling the size, speed, and frequency of the gestures of a robot and to examine userpsila impressions of the robot by controlling the gesture design factors. The independent variables were three gesture design factors (speed, velocity, and frequency) with two levels each, producing eight gesture types. The eight gesture types were presented in two robot positions, a spe

Early detection of vessel delays using combined historical and real-time information
Sung‐Il Kim, Heeyoung Kim, Yongro Park
SJR Q1Journal of the Operational Research Society

In ocean transportation, detecting vessel delays in advance or in real time is important for fourth-party logistics (4PL) in order to fulfill the expectations of customers and to help customers reduce delay costs. However, the early detection of vessel delays faces the challenges of numerous uncertainties, including weather conditions, port congestion, booking issues, and route selection. Recently, 4PLs have adopted advanced tracking technologies such as satellite-based automatic identification

확장된 증강현실예술 분석을 통한 확장현실의 상호작용성 연구
김희영

본 연구는 증강현실을 활용한 예술작품 분석을 통해 확장현실에서 실재 공간과 가상공간의 상호작용성에 관한 연구의 폭을 넓히고, 확장현실의 몰입을 통한 상호작용성의 방향을 고찰하며, 확장현실의 상호작용성을 활용하여 기술, 예술, 문화와 사회의 융합 연구의 토대를 만드는 것을 목적으로 한다. 확장현실의 상호작용성이 중요한 이유는 현재의 기술에서 가상과 현실의 기술적인 틈새를 자연스럽게 메워주고, 가상과 현실의 매끄러운 연결의 핵심 요소이다. 연구 방법은 증강현실예술의 작품을 분석하고, 소통성, 우연성, 몰입성, 유희성을 중심으로 분석한다. 그리고 실재 공간에 출연한 증강현실예술, 재구성된 증강현실에 몰입을 유도하는 증강현실예술, 사회적 몰입과 소통을 위한 증강현실예술의 상호작용성을 분석한다. 세 가지 분석 결과를 중심으로 확장현실의 상호작용성과 활용을 밝힌 결과는 다음과 같다. 실재 공간에 기반을 둔 확장현실의 상호작용성은 실재 공간의 실재감을 가상공간이나 이미지의 연속성이다. 관광지가

Prediction of highly imbalanced semiconductor chip-level defects using uncertainty-based adaptive margin learning
Sumin Park, Keunseo Kim, Heeyoung Kim
SJR Q1IISE Transactions

In semiconductor manufacturing, the package test is a process that verifies whether the product specifications are satisfied before the semiconductor products are finally shipped to customers. The packaged chips are classified as good or defective according to the verification results. To ensure high-quality products and customer satisfaction, it is important to detect defective chips during the package test. In this article, we consider the problem of predicting potential defects in advance usi

Bayesian nonparametric latent class model for longitudinal data
Wonmo Koo, Heeyoung Kim
SJR Q1Statistical Methods in Medical Research

Latent class models have been widely used in longitudinal studies to uncover unobserved heterogeneity in a population and find the characteristics of the latent classes simultaneously using the class allocation probabilities dependent on predictors. However, previous latent class models for longitudinal data suffer from uncertainty in the choice of the number of latent classes. In this study, we propose a Bayesian nonparametric latent class model for longitudinal data, which allows the number of

Hierarchical Spatially Varying Coefficient Process Model
Heeyoung Kim, John J. Lee
SJR Q1Technometrics

The spatially varying coefficient process model is a nonstationary approach to explaining spatial heterogen-eity by allowing coefficients to vary across space. In this article, we develop a methodology for generalizing this model to accommodate geographically hierarchical data. This article considers two-level hierarchical structures and allow for the coefficients of both low-level and high-level units to vary over space. We assume that the spatially varying low-level coefficients follow the mul

Label-Noise Robust Deep Generative Model for Semi-Supervised Learning
Heegeon Yoon, Heeyoung Kim
SJR Q1TechnometricsOA

Deep generative models have demonstrated an excellent ability to generate data by learning their distribution. Despite their unsupervised nature, these models can be implemented in semi-supervised learning scenarios by treating the class labels as additional latent variables. In this article, we propose a deep generative model for semi-supervised learning that offsets label noise, which is a ubiquitous feature in large-scale datasets owing to the high cost of annotation. We assume that noisy lab

Enhanced flux of chemically induced hot electrons on a Pt nanowire/Si nanodiode during decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

decomposition reaction in the liquid-solid system. We show that the Pt NWs had higher catalytic activity because of the surface defect sites on the Pt NW surface. We observed a higher chemicurrent yield on the Pt NW/Si nanodiode compared with the Pt film/Si nanodiode, which is associated with the shortened travel length for the hot electrons at the edge of the Pt nanowires and results in a higher transmission probability for hot electron transport through metal-oxide interfaces.

A Multivariate Loss Function Approach to Robust Design of Systems with Multiple Performance Characteristics
Woojin Soh, Heeyoung Kim, Bong‐Jin Yum
SJR Q2Quality and Reliability Engineering International

The Taguchi robust design method traditionally deals with single‐characteristic problems. Various methods have been developed for extending the Taguchi single‐characteristic robust design method to the case of multi‐characteristic robust design problems. However, most of those methods have shortcomings in that they do not properly consider the variance–covariance structures among performance characteristics and/or do not preserve the original properties of the Taguchi signal‐to‐noise ratio for s

Spatiotemporal Auto-regressive Model for Origin–destination Air Passenger Flows
Keunseo Kim, Vinnam Kim, Heeyoung Kim
SJR Q1Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A (Statistics in Society)

Summary The growth of the global airline network has increased the importance of modelling origin–destination air passenger flows for better operational planning and scheduling. Origin–destination air passenger flows are correlated both spatially and temporally because of spatial and temporal relationships of human behaviours and environments. However, most existing studies for modelling air passenger flows have assumed that these relationships are independent; few studies have considered either
