New AI image classification technology developed by SUNY Korea team Two Computer Science students and Professor Youngmin Kwon in one team developed a data processing technology concerning training AI applications with image classification. This new technology is unlike the AI models in general which need completed decoded images for classification, and has been registered at the Korean Intellectual Property Office. Saving time and memory space, this technology is even expected to save peoples’ lives if it assists the safety device as an auxiliary method. Below is the team member Yousun’s written interview! 1. Please introduce yourself and your team members. Hi. I am Yousun, a Ph.D. student in the CS department of the IoT lab. The two members of my team are my advisor, Prof. Youngmin Kwon, and another Ph.D. student, Jay, who graduated last Feb. 2. Could you explain briefly about this newly developed data processing that has been registered at the Korean Intellectual Property Office? There is a study field of image classification in AI applications. The idea we developed is training an AI model with not fully decoded images. In general, pictures for AI training are completely decoded, but it is also likely to be trained as a deep learning model if we feed intermediate data taken from the decoding process. The word ‘frequency’ is also used not just for radio waves, but pictures too. Image pixels are arranged in frequency ascending order while it’s in the encoding and decoding stage, and we take intermediate data from this stage. Then the high-frequency parts are discarded because it is enough to train a model with the remaining parts if training targets are lumps of features. To do so, training data can be reduced up to one-fourth from the original size. It helps to save training time as well as memory space requirements. 3. How do you think this new technology will help people in general? It requires fewer parameters of an AI model than using general pictures, therefore, the classification time is also fast with the same hardware. That small time gap is important to prevent the car accident of autonomous vehicles moving at high speed. If it assists the safety device as an auxiliary method, it will be helpful to save lots of lives. 4. Tell us about some difficulties or challenges your team faced while working together. The first challenge was to design and implement an image decoder that can freely handle all sub-processes for decoding. We read lots of books about image processing and lecture notes. Another difficulty was finding the best model for learning our outputs and repeated parameter tunings for each model. This is because it takes a long time to train the model, even if the input data has a small data size. 5. What did you learn from this experience? One big lesson that I felt, and I would like to say to other students, is ‘You have to believe in what you think with confidence’. It would have never been invented if we ignored it as a trivial idea, and we would have given up without doing our best.

Technology developed by SUNY Korea team receives a patent SALI 360, a technology developed by CS Professor Jihoon Ryoo and two SUNY Korea students, Duin Baek and Hangil Kang, has recently been registered at the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The technology was developed in 2019, out of the need that the currently available bandwidth in most of the developed countries can hardly support the bandwidth required to stream a large scale of contents like the 360°contents . As an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding virtual reality image, SALI 360 improves perception quality while reducing the contents size to serve the streaming service on the current network platform. By utilizing the characteristics of the human vision system (HVS), it solves the mismatch between the demand on higher quality of streaming services and the current network platform.

more SUNY Korea Appreciation Week- Thanksgiving in June SUNY Korea Student Services Team and RA (Resident Assistant) Pop-Up Committee collaborated on SUNY Korea Appreciation Event & Thanksgiving in June. * Appreciation Week The Appreciation Week Event started on May 31 and ended on June 2. This event was to bring together the SUNY Korea Community and share what we appreciate and are thankful for. The visitors (students, faculty and staff) filled out a sticky note and pasted it on a shared board. The people who completed a note received a small goodie bag as a gift of appreciation. * Thanksgiving in June RA (Resident Assistant) Pop-Up Committee designed the event to provide students an opportunity to show respect and appreciation to their friends in the SUNY Korea community. SUNY Korea residents wrote thank you notes to their friends that they would like to appreciate. RAs sent the notes and a package to the recipient on behalf of the school. The packages were issued on June 2nd under the Bill Hwang Library to promote social distancing. During campus lifetime, the RAs played requested music and displayed the colorful thank you notes on a huge poster while giving an opportunity to anyone who had not participated to write a thankful note and get a package. Student Services Team and RA Pop-Up Committee made the events inclusive by encouraging all people on-campus and off- campus were able to participate including students, faculty, and staff.
