Unknown morpheme errors in Korean morphological analysis are divided into two types: The one is the errors that a morphological analyzer entirely fails to return any morpheme sequences, and the other is the errors that a morphological analyzer returns incorrect combinations of known morphemes. Most previous unknown morpheme estimation techniques have been focused on only the former errors. This paper proposes a unknown morpheme estimation method which can handle both of the unknown morpheme errors. The proposed method detects Eojeols (Korean spacing units) that may include unknown morpheme errors using SVM (Support Vector Machine). Then, using CRFs (Conditional Random Fields), it segments morphemes from the detected Eojeols and annotates the segmented morphemes with new POS tags. In the experiments, the proposed method outperformed the conventional method based on the longest matching of functional words. Based on the experimental results, we knew that the second type errors should be dealt with in order to increase the performance of Korean morphological analysis.

한국어 자료를 자동으로 처리하기 위해서 다양한 형태소 분석기가 연구되었으나, 대부분의 형태소 분석기는 미리 등록된 명사가 아니면 제대로 분석하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 기존의 형태소 분석기를 수정하여 미등록 명사를 인식하도록 하는 방법을 소개한다. 이 방법은 비록 학습 알고리즘을 포함하지 않지만 비교적 구현이 쉽고 속도가 빠르며 형태소 분석기의 정확률 향상에 도움이 되었음을 실험으로 검증하였다. 그리고 이 알고리즘을 응용하여 사람이 반자동으로 미등록 명사를 포함할 가능성이 높은 어절을 수집하는 방법을 제안한다.

Unknown nouns which are not in a dictionary make problems not only morphological analysis but also almost all natural language processing area. This paper describes a recognition method for Korean unknown nouns using strings following nouns such as postposition, suffix and postposition, suffix and eomi, etc. We collect and sort words including nouns from documents and divide a word including unknown noun into two parts, candidate noun and string following the noun, by finding same prefix morphemes from more than two unknown words. We use information of strings following nouns extracted from Sejong corpus and decide unknown noun finally. We obtain 99.64% precision and 99.46% recall for unknown nouns occurred more than two forms in news of two portal sites.

It is expected that some Josa/Eomi's are frequently used and others are not in the Korean documents. In this paper. we confirm it through the experiment and show that such information is very useful for Korean language processing. In case of Josa. most frequent 9 Josa's occupied 70% of total Josa's and 20. 32. 69 Josa's occupied 90%. 95%. and 99% respectively. Similarly, most frequent 10 numbers of Eomi's occupied 70% of total Eomi's and 33. 54. 117 Eomi's occupied 90%. 95%. and 99% respectively. We propose a dictionary construction method for Josa/Eomi dictionary that is classified by the frequency information. Furthermore. Josa/Eomi frequency results are very useful for the identification of unregistered morphemes and the disambiguation of lexical ambiguities.
