Summary:

This book describes how to build a rigorous end-to-end mathematical framework for deep neural networks. The authors provide tools to represent and describe neural networks, casting previous results in the field in a more natural light. In particular, the authors derive gradient descent algorithms in a unified way for several neural network structures, including multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks, deep autoencoders and recurrent neural networks. Furthermore, the authors developed framework is both more concise and mathematically intuitive than previous representations of neural networks.

This book is one-step towards unlocking the black box of Deep Learning. The authors believe that this framework will help catalyze further discoveries regarding the mathematical properties of neural networks. This book is accessible not only to researchers, professionals and students working and studying in the field of deep learning, but also to those outside of the neutral network community.

Ph.D Candidate Yongmin Jeon developed OLED Wearable Light therapy Patch!

Professor Kyung Cheol Choi and Ph.D candidate Yongmin Jeon have successfully developed OLED Wearable Light therapy Patch with Professor Kyoung-Chan Park and Hye-Ryung Choi from Department of Dermatology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH).

Phototherapy is a treatment that promotes the biochemical reaction of the human body by irradiating light. It is widely used to heal wounds through LED or laser devices installed in hospitals. However, conventional phototherapy equipments are not flexible, also it is difficult to uniformly irradiate light, and there is a problem that heat is generated. For these reasons, even if patients wanted to increase the effectiveness of the treatment, there was a limit that can not be attached to the human body.

The phototherapy patch developed by Professor Kyung Cheol Choi’s team is light and flexible, allowing you to maintain high-efficiency treatment while adhering to your skin in daily life. The components OLED, battery, heat sink and patch are designed in the form of thin film, less than 1mm thick and less than 1g in weight. It also operates for a long period of more than 300 hours and can be driven in a bend radius of 20 mm, so it can be attached to various body parts. It operates at less than 42°C, eliminates the risk of low-temperature burns, and it has been verified to be safe by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, and has an excellent healing effect that improves cell proliferation by 58% and cell migration by 46%.

-Title of Paper: A study on frame rate improvement using hierarchical convolution neural network

-Authors: Sung-Jun Yoon, Yongwoo Kim, Munchurl Kim

Introduction:

In this paper, we propose a frame rate enhancement method using hierarchical convolution neural network. The convolutional neural network is constructed hierarchically, and the convolution operation is performed at the optimal position adaptively, so that the performance is robust against the interpolation of the fast moving object.

As a result, compared with the existing ICCV 2017 “Video Frame Interpolation via Adaptive Separable Convolution” algorithm, the improvement was 0.41dB in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR)

Professor Munchurl Kim, developed real-time full HD video 4K UHD conversion technology by artificial intelligence

Professor Munchurl Kim of our department developed a technology that can convert full HD video into super-high definition 4K UHD video using deep learning technology.

This technology has been implemented in hardware by Deep Convolution Neural Network (DNCC), which is a key techonology in artificial intelligence. It is expected to contribute premium UHD TV, 360 VR, and 4K IPTV in the future by developing algorithms and hardware that can create ultra high resolution 4K UHD screen in 60 frames per second in real time.

This study was lead by Yongwoo Kim and Jae-Seok Choi Ph.D. candidates and they are preparing for patent application.

In recent years, efforts have been made to apply Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DNCC) on image quality improvement research. However, Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DNCC) technology has a high computational complexity, and there is a limit to real-time conversion to ultrahigh-resolution images through small hardware because it needs large memory.

In the conventional frame-by-frame image processing method, it is necessary to use external memory such as DRAM, which causes memory bottleneck and power comsumption due to excessive external memory access when processing image data.

Professor Kim’s team developed an efficient Deep Convolution Neural Network structure that can process data in units of lines instead of frames to implement 4K UHD super resolution at 60 frames per second on small hardware without using external memory.

His team maintained a similar picture quality with only 65% of the filter parameters compared to the fast algorithm based on deep convolution neural networks and software.

This is the first example to implement 60 frames per second 4K UHD super resolution by using hardware.

Professor Kim said, “This research is a very important example of the Deep Convolutional Neural Network that is practically applicable to ultra-high-quality image processing in small hardware. Currently, it can be applied to premium UHD TV and UHD broadcast contents, 360 VR contents, 4K IPTV services.”  

This research was carrier out with the support from the Institute for Information & communications Technology Promotion
