k-obstacle Based Anonymity Trajectory(k-oATY) Methods to Protect the User’s k-trajectories in Continuous Query Processing
Song Doo Hee
Most smartphone users have options that must be agreed upon when installing or using the application. In particular, the number of cases requiring the location of users is gradually increasing. The reason why the service provider(server) requests location information from the user is that it aims to provide a quick and accurate service to the user. However, when analyzing the user’s behavioral patterns over time, it is very likely to include sensitive personal information. In particular, when grasping the building or place where they stayed (shopping malls, clubs, etc.), the user’s trajectory can expect not only behavioral patterns but also interests. Therefore, this paper propose a k-obstacle based anonymity trajectory(k-oATY) method that can protect the user’s trajectory. Through experiments, it was proved that the proposed method has a higher probability of protecting individual location information than the existing method.

Effectiveness of Digital Health-Enabled Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
In Gyeom Yoo  Gaeun Kim
This review investigates the clinical effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) interventions delivered through digital health modalities for individuals experiencing urinary incontinence (UI). It also explores embedded system-level features that may shape adherence behavior and health outcomes. Extensive searches were undertaken across global (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL) and Korean (RISS, KISS) academic databases for relevant studies published from 2000 to 2023. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating digital PFMT programs delivered through mobile apps, telehealth systems, or wearable technologies were selected. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool. Meta-analytic synthesis with a random-effects model was used to calculate pooled effects. Additionally, a narrative synthesis examined digital functionalities including feedback mechanisms, adherence tracking, and user engagement tools. Ten eligible RCTs involving 1,342 participants were analyzed. Digital PFMT yielded statistically significant benefits in reducing symptom severity (SMD = −0.46; 95% CI: −0.73, −0.19), alleviating urinary distress (SMD = −0.41; 95% CI: −0.68, −0.14), and enhancing quality of life (SMD = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.67). Platforms incorporating real-time feedback loops, gamified interfaces, and structured reminders were associated with better adherence and sustained benefits. In contrast, few interventions integrated AI-based personalization or ensured interoperability with other digital systems. Digital PFMT approaches demonstrate clinical value in managing UI and improving patient-reported outcomes. Emphasizing real-time interactivity, tailored feedback, and user-centered system architecture could further optimize intervention adherence and impact. The findings advocate for the continued evolution and integration of smart PFMT tools within comprehensive digital health strategies.

Compressed LLM-Based Secure Coding Support
Chan Woo Lee  Junyoung Heo
As the importance of security in the IT industry continues to grow, secure coding has become essential. However, small-scale enterprises often struggle to fully implement secure coding guidelines due to a lack of specialized security personnel. This study proposes a compressed Large Language Model (LLM)-based approach to support secure coding, enabling cost-effective adoption of secure coding guidelines. The proposed method leverages an open-source model fine-tuned on a security dataset for domain-specific learning and applies the Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) technique to optimize training efficiency in a single GPU environment. Additionally, it incorporates BF16 transformation and 8-bit GGUF quantization to reduce model size, ensuring operability in standard computing environments. Through experiments, we evaluated the proposed model’s ability to detect security vulnerabilities and generate improved code suggestions. The results demonstrate superior performance over the baseline model in key evaluation metrics, including F1 score and BLEU score.

A Systematic Framework for Enhancing Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Tabular Data
Eunbin Lee  Younghan Lee  Ho Bae ·
This study proposes a novel framework approach combining structural data processing, user query classification, and a self-feedback loop to optimize the performance of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models for effectively handling tabular data. While RAG models excel at complex data processing and question answering by integrating retrieval-based and generative capabilities, specific design strategies tailored to the unique characteristics of tabular data have not been sufficiently explored. To address this gap, this study presents a detailed design framework focused on improving the key components of RAG models in tabular data processing. The proposed framework systematically enhances the efficiency and accuracy of RAG models by refining their ability to structure and interpret tabular datasets. Furthermore, an empirical analysis was conducted to determine the optimal combination of generative models, embedding models, and the number of retrieved documents for effective tabular data processing. To support this study, a new QA dataset was constructed to better evaluate RAG models on tabular data tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that the structural approach explicitly preserves the relationships and context within the data, while the user query classification strategy contributes to maximizing the efficiency of the RAG process. Additionally, the self-feedback loop enhances the quality of generated responses through iterative evaluation and refinement, effectively mitigating hallucination issues and ensuring reliable, high-quality responses even for complex queries. By integrating these optimization strategies, this study refines the design direction for RAG models tailored to tabular data and provides practical insights into their deployment. This work expands the applicability of RAG models specialized in tabular data processing and enhances their potential across various application domains. These findings provide a foundational resource for RAG model design and performance optimization, offering valuable guidance for addressing practical challenges in tabular data processing and advancing future AI-driven data analysis systems.

Machine Learning-Based Gambling Addiction Risk Prediction Model
Lee Seo Jin  Choi Ji Woong  Hong Seung Hyeon  Kim Jongwan
This paper proposes a machine learning-based prediction model to distinguish gambling addicts according to their level of addiction to mitigate gambling-related problems. With the widespread use of the Internet and smartphones, gambling accessibility has increased, leading to a growing number of individuals experiencing gambling addiction. Gambling addiction is not just a personal issue but a significant societal problem that requires early detection and intervention. To prevent gambling problems and strengthen treatment interventions, a model capable of quickly and accurately identifying gambling addicts is necessary. In this study, we propose a method to predict addiction risk levels based on an individual’s gambling behavior using a machine learning model trained on data from the Korean version of the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (K-CPGI). We compared and analyzed various machine learning models and found that logistic regression demonstrated relatively high performance. Considering its interpretability and reliability, it was selected as the final model. However, due to the limitations of the dataset used in this study, we discuss the need for additional data collection and validation of generalization performance. Through this research, we expect to enhance the early and accurate identification of gambling addicts, thereby strengthening treatment linkage and contributing to the development of gambling addiction prevention and intervention strategies.

Fast Generation of Large Maps Using Variable Block Based Wave Function Collapse Algorithm
Kim Tae Hwan  Sung Man Kyu
This paper proposes a method to quickly generate large-scale 2D maps using the Wave Function Collapse algorithm using variable-sized blocks. Procedural Content Generation (PCG) is one of the techniques for automatically generating maps. The Wave Function Collapse algorithm is one of the PCG techniques and has been used to generate 2D maps to satisfy constraints. However, it has the problem that the generation time increases exponentially as the map size increases. The experimental results of the proposed algorithm in this study showed that it was at least five times faster than existing algorithms when generating large-scale maps.

A Study on Machine Learning -based River Water Level Prediction Model for Flood Prevention
DeokHyun You  Heesun Roh  Suyeon Lim  Seongbok Baik  Yong-Geun Hong
This study compares various data-driven modeling approaches for river water level prediction to support the development of accurate forecasting systems for disaster response. Initially, a CNN-based model was applied for image-based classification of water level stages. Although the model achieved high accuracy, limitations in generalization were observed due to class imbalance and location-specific bias. Techniques such as dropout and data augmentation were introduced, but they offered limited improvement. Subsequent time series prediction experiments employed linear regression, polynomial regression, and LSTM models, comparing Shift and Sliding Window input methods. Across all models, the Sliding Window method consistently outperformed the Shift method in terms of R², NSE, and PBIAS, with especially notable differences in long-term forecasts. The multivariate LSTM model, which incorporated additional variables such as flow rate, demonstrated superior accuracy and stability compared to its univariate counterpart, achieving R² values exceeding 0.96 for 3-hour forecasts. Overall, the combination of the Sliding Window approach and multivariate modeling was shown to be highly effective for improving prediction performance. Future work will explore advanced nonlinear models such as Transformers, as well as multimodal data integration including rainfall and CCTV imagery to enhance the accuracy and applicability of river level forecasting systems.

DQL-based Time Division Duplex Configuration Optimization Technique in 5G New Radio
Muneeb Muhammad  Kwang-Man Ko
Emerging 5G and 6G networks demand high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and adaptable traffic management to facilitate services which are transitioning to balanced uplink traffic from heavily downlink-dependent traffic. In contrast to 4G Time Division Duplex (TDD), which uses static Uplink/Downlink (UL/DL) configurations, 5GNR enables dynamic modification of defined procedures for the best possible pattern design. In order to optimize TDD pattern selection in 5G New Radio (NR) networks, this paper suggests a Deep Q Learning (DQL) architecture. It was created to model important network characteristics, including as user equipment (UE) density, interference, and uplink and downlink traffic loads. Optimizing uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) slot designs is essential for 5G networks based on TDD in order to satisfy dynamic traffic needs while preserving low latency and high throughput. A DQL method that learns to modify UL-DL configurations in response to real-time traffic patterns is presented in this study. The DQL agent is trained in a simulated 5G environment to maximize a reward function that combines latency reduction and throughput gain. The DQL-based approach’s performance is evaluated in comparison to a static 4:4 UL-DL configuration baseline. The suggested paradigm dramatically increases network performance and lowers latency, according to experimental data. In particular, the DQL agent outperforms the baseline by more than 95% in throughput and 50% in latency, demonstrating its promise for intelligent and flexible slot scheduling in TDD systems of the future.

Transformer Based Korean Emotion Recognition Model through Multi-domain Fusion
Jinhwan Yang  Hyuksoon Choi  Nammee Moon  Jinah Kim
This study proposes a transformer-based emotion recognition model that enhances performance through multi-domain fusion. The proposed model extracts and compresses emotion-relevant information from three domains—audio, spectrogram, and text—using a feature encoder and a transformer encoder, thereby improving recognition accuracy. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, experiments were conducted comparing different domain combinations and backbone architectures. The results demonstrate that all three domains effectively contribute to improved emotion recognition performance, and that ResNet50 is the most suitable backbone. The model trained on all three domains achieved an accuracy of 0.9306 and an F1-score of 0.9306, outperforming models trained on other domain combinations. These findings suggest that multi-domain fusion helps enhance the precision of emotion recognition and indicate that the proposed model can serve as a practical baseline for multimodal emotion recognition research.

Evaluating The Openness of Impactful AI Models with A Focus on LLMs
Kil-Won Jeon  Hyun-Jun Han  Kang-Won Lee
Generative AI models are increasingly driving technical innovations and making societal impacts. Recognizing their significance, governments(e.g, EU AI Act) and technical communities (e.g., OSI) demand a higher degree of openness and transparency in AI development. Open sourcing AI models enables deeper scrutiny of their inner workings, accelerates innovation, and mitigates potential risks. Although numerous AI models are marketed as “open source,” many fall short of the traditional standards of openness. Moreover, despite recent efforts, there is currently no comprehensive framework for characterizing the openness of AI models. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to quantify the degree of openness in AI models. We apply our framework to evaluate several high-impact models, including models developed by Korean companies, and investigate the relationship between openness and performance of AI models with a focus on large language models (LLMs).

Intelligent NPC AI Based on FSM and Reinforcement Learning: Implementation Study of A 2D Mobile Idle RPG Game
Dongju Kim  Seok-Joo Koh
This study focuses on the design and implementation of an intelligent NPC AI system that integrates Finite State Machines (FSM) and reinforcement learning in mobile idle RPG games. By combining FSM with reinforcement learning techniques such as Q-learning and Deep Q-Networks (DQN), the system optimizes NPCs’ environmental perception, combat strategies, and state management. The NPC AI dynamically transitions between various states such as idle, attack, and retreat, and experimental evaluation involved collecting and analyzing performance metrics such as combat win rates, response times, and movement distances to refine behavioral patterns and maintain game balance. This study proposes a method for enhancing NPC AI performance in idle RPGs through the integrated application of FSM and reinforcement learning. Through real-time data analysis, the difficulty and behavior patterns of NPCs were dynamically adjusted, and an intelligent NPC system was implemented that adapts to various combat environments and situations. This research provides a guide for developing auto-roguelike RPG games and can be used as foundational material for enhancing game experiences based on real-time AI optimization.

Development of An Interactive KoBASIC Using Jupyter
Lee Seok Won  Gyun Woo
Recently, there has been a growing demand for programming education for Korean-based languages that lower entry barriers for beginners. KoBASIC was developed in response to this need as a Korean-language educational programming language, designed with an intuitive syntax to enable easy access for novice learners. However, the original implementation of KoBASIC was limited to the Windows operating system and required a separate executable, causing inconvenience and reduced accessibility. To tackle these problems, this paper proposes and implements a dedicated Jupyter Notebook kernel for KoBASIC. The proposed system allows users to write and execute KoBASIC code directly through a web browser, regardless of the operating system. In particular, 0MQ-based message communication was adopted between the Jupyter server and the KoBASIC kernel, and additional control commands such as list and run were newly introduced. When applied to an actual university course, the system showed a 20% point increase in the proportion of students achieving perfect scores, from 46% to 66%, even with minimal instruction time. A brief follow-up survey also indicated that users found using KoBASIC in the Jupyter environment more convenient than the previous method. Furthermore, compared to existing Korean programming languages such as HanBASIC and Saesark, KoBASIC was confirmed to be more concise, with the number of syntactic elements reduced to approximately 41% and 70%, respectively.
