Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare reliability and validity of three Korean versions of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia scale and to confirm the most reliable and validated Korean translation of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale for both clinical and research purpose in Korea. The first one was a Korean version of the 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale developed by Lee YH et al in 1996 which was designated as TAS-20K(1996) in this study. This scale had a problem with one item due to the cultural difference regarding the word 'analyzing' between western culture and Korean culture. The second one was the revised version of TAS-20K(1996) on that point by Lee YH et al in 1996 without validation which was designated as TAS-20K(2003) in this study. The third one was a 23-item Korean version developed by Sin HG and Won HT in 1997, which was somewhat different from the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS-20) in the number of total item, the content of some items and the scoring method. This scale was designated as S-TAS here. Methods: 408 medical students were tested with one scale composed of all the different items randomly arranged from the three versions. We evaluated goodness-of-fit and Cronbach $\alpha$ coefficients of three scales for reliability. We used confirmatory factor analysis to compare validity. Results: TAS-20K(2003) showed that it had better internal consistency than TAS-20K(1996), which implied that the cultural difference should be considered in the Korean translation. Both TAS-20K(2003) and S-TAS replicated three-factor structures and had adequacy of fit, good internal consistency and acceptable validity. However, S-TAS had one item with poor item-factor correlation and didn't show high correlation between item 2 and factor 1 as before in 1997. Conclusion: Although S-TAS had added 3 items and changed the content of two items, it didn't show better reliability and validity than TAS-20K(2003). Therefore it is proposed to use TAS-20K (2003) as the Korean version of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS-20K) for international communication of results of Alexithymia research. It has good internal consistency and validity and maintains original items, the same construct and scoring method as the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale.

Skin tone plays a key role in one of the determinant for facial attractiveness. Most female customers have an interest in choosing skin color and improving their skin tone and their needs have been contributed the expansion of cosmetic products in the market. Recently, cosmetic customers, who want bright skin, are also interested in healthy and lively-looking skin. However, there is no method to evaluate the skin tone with the complexion-describing adjectives (CDAs). Therefore, this study was conducted to find the ways to objectify and digitize the CDA. We obtained that quasi $L^*$ at dark skin is 65 and quasi $L^*$ at bright skin is 74 for standard images, which are selected from our data base. To match the following seven CDAs: pale, clear, radiant, lively, healthy, rosy and dull, the colors of both images were adjusted by 30 panels. The quasi $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ were converted from the RGB values of the manipulated images. The differences between the quasi $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of standard images and manipulated images reflecting each CDA were statistically significant (p < 0.05). However, there were no statistical significances between the $L^*$ values of dark and bright skin images that were modified in accordance with each CDA and there also were no statistical significances between the quasi $a^*$ values of dark and bright skin for pale and clear CDAs. From the statistical analysis, the CDAs were observed to form three groups: (i) pale-clear-radiant, (ii) lively-healthy-rosy and (iii) dull. We recognized that people have a similar opinion about perception of CDAs. Following our results of this study, we establish new standard method for sensibility evaluation which is difficult to carry out scientifically or objectively.

The study is based on the assumption that the trend of phenomena and trends in research are contextually consistent. Therefore the purpose of this study is to explore the trend of dance through the subject analysis of the Korean creative dance study by utilizing text mining. Thus, 1,291 words were analyzed in the 616 journal title, which were established on the paper search website. The collection, refining and analysis of the data were all R 3.6.0 SW. According to the study, keywords representing the times were frequently used before the 2000s, but Korean creative dance research types were also found in terms of education and physical training. Second, the frequency of keywords related to the dance troupe's performance was high after the 2000s, but it was confirmed that Choi Seung-hee was still in an important position in the study of Korean creative dance. Third, an analysis of the overall research subjects of the Korean creative dance study showed that the research on 'Art of Choi Seung-hee in the modern era' was the highest proportion. Fourth, the Hot Topics, which are rising as of 2000, appeared as 'the performance activities of the National Dance Company' and 'the choreography expression and utilization of traditional dance'. However, since the recent trend of the National Dance Company's performance is advocating 'modernization based on tradition', it has been confirmed that the trend of Korean creative dance since the 2000s has been focused on the use of traditional dance motifs. Fifth, the Cold Topic, which has been falling as of 2000, has been shown to be a study of 'dancing expressions by age'. It was judged that interest in research also decreased due to the tendency to mix various dance styles after the establishment of the genre of Korean creative dance.

Computers require analytic and processing capability for all possibilities of human expression in order to process sentences like human beings. Linguistic information processing thus forms the initial basis. When analyzing a sentence syntactically, it is necessary to divide the sentence into components, find obligatory arguments focusing on predicates, identify the sentence core, and understand semantic relations between the arguments and predicates. In this study, the method applied a case frame dictionary based on The Korean Standard Dictionary of The National Institute of the Korean Language; in addition, we used a CRF Model that constructed subcategorization of predicates as featured in Korean Lexical Semantic Network (UWordMap) for semantic role labeling. Automatically tagged semantic roles based on the CRF model, which established the information of words, predicates, the case-frame dictionary and hypernyms of words as features, were used. This method demonstrated higher performance in comparison with the existing method, with accuracy rate of 83.13% as compared to 81.2%, respectively.

The information recommendation system offers selected documents according to information needs of dynamic users. User's needs are expressed as profiles consisting of one or more words and may be changed into some specifics through relevance feedback made by users during the recommendation process. In previous research, users have entered relevance information by taking part in explicit relevance feedbacks and learned user profiles using the positive relevance feedbacks. In this paper, we learn user profiles using not only positive relevance feedback but negative relevance feedback and reinforcement learning. To compare the proposed with previous method, we performed experiments to evaluate recommendation performance of the same topic. As a result, the former shows the improved performance than the latter does.

The research area for solving question answering (QA) problems using artificial intelligence models is in a methodological transition period, and one such architecture, the dynamic memory network (DMN), is drawing attention for two key attributes: its attention mechanism defined by neural network operations and its modular architecture imitating cognition processes during QA of human. In this paper, we increased accuracy of the inferred answers, by adapting an automatic data augmentation method for lacking amount of training data, and by improving the ability of time perception. The experimental results showed that in the 1K-bAbI tasks, the modified DMN achieves 89.21% accuracy and passes twelve tasks which is 13.58% higher with passing four more tasks, as compared with one implementation of DMN. Additionally, DMN's word embedding vectors form strong clusters after training. Moreover, the number of episodic passes and that of supporting facts shows direct correlation, which affects the performance significantly.

In this paper, we present a Korean partial parser based on rules, which is used for running applications such as a grammar checker and a machine translation. Basically partial parsers construct one or more morphemes and/or words into one syntactical unit, but not complete syntactic trees, and accomplish some additional operations for syntactical parsing. The system described in this paper adopts a set of about 140 manually-written rules for partial parsing. Each rule consists of conditional statements and action statement that defines which one is head node and also describes an additional action to do if necessary. To observe that this approach can improve the efficiency of overall processing, we make simple experiments. The experimental results have shown that the average number of edges generated in processing without the partial parser is about 2 times more than that with the partial parser.

Although modern day people gather many data from the network, the users want only the information needed. Using this technology, the users can extract on the data that satisfy the query. As the previous studies use the single data in the document, frequency of the data for example, it cannot be considered as the effective data clustering method. What is needed is the effective clustering technology that can process the electronic network documents such as the e-mail or XML that contain the tags of various formats. This paper describes the study of extracting the information from the user query based on the multi-attributes. It proposes a method of extracting the data such as the sender, text type, time limit syntax in the text, and title from the e-mail and using such data for filtering. It also describes the experiment to verify that the multi-attribute based clustering method is more accurate than the existing clustering methods using only the word frequency.

The object of this dissertation is to teach the divorced inmates the method to deal with the conflicts which they have had. This program constitutes 10 terms session, and the participants are 6 at first, but reduced one latter. In the process of the program, when making nickname, the participants preferred the words that present their personal emotion and experience. And the participation rate by each participants were ascent more and more in accordance with the process. After the whole process of the program, we executed conflict-dealing scale test before and after the program. The result showed that 'Patience' and 'Siloam' presented change from emotional dealing to rational dealing. 'Sea', 'Jin' and 'Birth' presented higher level of emotional dealing than before the test. Therefore Through this result, we knew that conflict-dealing method program improved the skills and abilities which are used for the situation making conflicts.
