About the Lab
Professor Yi-Rim Choi's research lab specializes in human-centered intelligent systems, focusing on the intersection of biosignal processing, wearable technology, and machine learning for real-world applications. The lab investigates stress and vigilance detection using physiological signals such as heart rate and EEG, particularly in high-stakes environments like unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations and child safety monitoring. Another key direction involves applying deep learning to fashion trend analysis, especially for hybrid style recognition in sportive and streetwear fashion using graph convolutional networks. The lab emphasizes practical, data-driven solutions with strong interdisciplinary integration across computer vision, signal processing, and human-computer interaction.

15The safety of children has always been an important issue, and several studies have been conducted to determine the stress state of a child to ensure the safety. Audio signals and biological signals including heart rate are known to be effective for stress state detection. However, collecting those data requires specialized equipment, which is not appropriate for the constant monitoring of children, and advanced data analysis is required for accurate detection. In this regard, we propose a stres
Growing competition among manufacturing businesses and the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has meant that many countries are conducting various research projects to understand how to introduce and populate smart factories. Smart factories are expected to provide a way of solving the manufacturing industries’ complex problems, to take a role in breakthroughs in factories and to carry on a sustainable business. Smart factories are currently in the introduction stage, so we should follow
Abstract Fashion image datasets, in which each fashion image has a label indicating its design attributes and styles, have contributed to the achievement of various machine learning techniques in the fashion industry. Computer vision studies have investigated labeling categories (such as fashion items, colors, materials, details, and styles) to create fashion image datasets for supervised learning. Although a considerable number of fashion image datasets has been developed, different style class
As unmanned aerial vehicles have become popular, the number of accidents caused by an operator's inattention have increased. To prevent such accidents, the operator should maintain an attention status. However, limited research has been conducted on the brain-computer interface (BCI)-based system with an alerting module for the operator's attention recovery of unmanned aerial vehicles. Therefore, we introduce a detection and alerting system that prevents an unmanned aerial vehicle operator from
With the advance of military technology, the number of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) has rapidly increased. However, it has been reported that the accident rate of UCAVs is much higher than that of manned combat aerial vehicles. One of the main reasons for the high accident rate of UCAVs is the hypovigilance problem which refers to the decrease in vigilance levels of UCAV operators while maneuvering. In this paper, we propose hypovigilance detection models for UCAV operators based on E
This study aimed to use quantitative methods and deep learning techniques to report sportive fashion trends. We collected sportive fashion images from fashion collections of the past decades and utilized the multi-label graph convolutional network (ML-GCN) model to detect and explore hybrid styles. Based on the literature review, we proposed a theoretical framework to investigate sportive fashion trends. The ML-GCN was designed to classify five style categories, “street,” “retro,” “sexy,” “moder
As language editing became an essential process for enhancing the quality of a research manuscript, there are several companies providing manuscript editing services. In such companies, a manuscript submitted for proofreading is matched with an editing expert through a manual process, which is costly and often subjective. The major drawback of the manual process is that it is almost impossible to consider the inherent characteristics of a manuscript such as writing style and paragraph compositio
Abstract With the rapid expansion of e-commerce, consumers increasingly rely on online platforms to purchase fashion products. However, the vast selection of products often leads to choice overload, making it challenging for consumers to find products that meet their needs. To address this challenge, we propose an advanced Conversational Recommender System (CRS) that applies a Functional, Expressive, and Aesthetic (FEA) consumer needs model. Using this model as a theoretical framework, this stud
Due to the increasing number of items with a variety of descriptions for a product type, itemset retrieval is considered as an essential function for enhancing shopping experiences of customers in online malls. This paper considers an itemset retrieval problem to construct an itemset consisting of items belonging to the same product type against a query item in which a customer is interested. In contrast to the previous approaches that require additional prior information such as itemset members
사용자의 인구통계학적 정보는 추천 시스템과 같은 개인화 서비스 발달에 도움이 되며, 모바일 사용 데이터는 사용자의 인구통계학적 정보 예측에 활용될 수 있다. 특히 텍스트 데이터는 성별 예측에 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있지만, 모바일 텍스트 데이터는 프라이버시 이슈가 존재하여 그 활용이 제한되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 디바이스 내 예측 방법론을 제안하여 모바일 텍스트 데이터를 사용하면서 프라이버시 이슈를 최소화는 동시에 사용자의 성별을 효과적으로 예측하고자 한다. 우선, 성별에 따른 특징이 반영된 웹문서를 수집하여 각 성별에 따른 특징적 단어 집합과 특징적 이모티콘 집합을 구성한다. 단어 집합과 이모티콘 집합을 디바이스 내에서 사용자의 모바일 데이터와 비교하여 성별을 각각 예측하고, 두 예측 결과를 앙상블하여 최종적인 성별 예측 결과를 도출한다. 피실험자들의 모바일 텍스트 데이터를 사용하여 성별 예측 실험을 수행하였으며 제안 방법론의 우수한 성능을 확인하였다.
To train skilled unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) operators, it is important to establish a real-time training environment where an enemy appropriately responds to the action performed by a trainee. This can be addressed by constructing the inference method for the behavior of a UCAV operator from given simulation log data. Through this method, the virtual enemy is capable of performing actions that are highly likely to be made by an actual operator. To achieve this, we propose a hybrid seq
