Extracting keywords representing documents is very important because it can be used for automated services such as document search, classification, recommendation system as well as quickly transmitting document information. However, when extracting keywords based on the frequency of words appearing in a web site documents and graph algorithms based on the co-occurrence of words, the problem of containing various words that are not related to the topic potentially in the web page structure, There is a difficulty in extracting the semantic keyword due to the limit of the performance of the Korean tokenizer. In this paper, we propose a method to select candidate keywords based on semantic similarity, and solve the problem that semantic keyword can not be extracted and the accuracy of Korean tokenizer analysis is poor. Finally, we use the technique of extracting final semantic keywords through filtering process to remove inconsistent keywords. Experimental results through real web pages of small business show that the performance of the proposed method is improved by 34.52% over the statistical similarity based keyword selection technique. Therefore, it is confirmed that the performance of extracting keywords from documents is improved by considering semantic similarity between words and removing inconsistent keywords.

Currently be proceeded a lot of researchers for 'user information demand description' for interface of an information retrieval system or Web search engines, but user information demand description for a natural language form is a difficult situation. These reasons are as they cannot provide the semantic similarity that an information retrieval model can be completely satisfied with variety regarding an information demand expression and semantic relevance for user information description. Therefore, this study using the description logic that is a knowledge representation base of OWL and a vector model-based weight between concept, and to be able to satisfy variety regarding an information demand expression and semantic relevance proposes a decision way for perfect assistances of user information demand description. The experiment results by proposed method, semantic similarity of a polyseme and a synonym showed with excellent performance in decision.

인터넷이 보다 대중화되고 광범위해지면서 의미적 관계에 따라 정보를 저장하는 온톨로지 시스템이 미래의 지능적인 컴퓨터를 위한 적절한 수단으로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 온톨로지와 같은 메타 데이터를 사용한 방법은 그 사용 목적 또는 작성자의 개인적인 관점에 따라 다양한 이질적인(heterogeneous) 형태를 띠게 된다. 이러한 이질적인 정보들은 데이터가 다른 시스템에서 처리되는 것을 어렵게 한다. 정보의 상호운용성을 보장하기 위해서는 서로 다른 온톨로지 시스템간의 개체에 대한 유사도를 평가할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 두 개의 다른 OWL 언어로 정의된 온톨로지 사이에서 두 개의 엔티티의 유사도를 측정하기 위한 새로운 유사도 척도(similarity measure)를 제안하였다. 이는 온톨로지 상의 이질적인 정보를 통합하는데 사용되며, 온톨로지 비교(comparison), 정렬(alignment), 매칭(matching) 그리고 병합(merging)의 기반이 되는 중요한 기법이다. 새로운 유사도 척도는 특정한 매핑 정보를 사용하지 않고 온톨로지 언어의 속성을 기반으로 하므로 OWL을 사용한 온톨로지 간의 유사도 검색에 곧바로 적용될 수 있는 장점을 지닌다.

Determining the meaning of a keyword in a speech dialogue system is an important technology for the future implementation of an intelligent speech dialogue interface. After extracting keywords to grasp intention from user's utterance, the intention of utterance is determined by using the semantic mark of keyword. One keyword can have several semantic marks, and we regard the task of attaching the correct semantic mark to the user's intentions on these keyword as a problem of word sense disambiguation. In this study, about 23% of all keywords in the corpus is manually tagged to build a semantic mark dictionary, a synonym dictionary, and a context vector dictionary, and then the remaining 77% of all keywords is automatically tagged. The semantic mark of a keyword is determined by calculating the context vector similarity from the context vector dictionary. For an unregistered keyword, the semantic mark of the most similar keyword is attached using a synonym dictionary. We compare the performance of the system with manually constructed training set and semi-automatically expanded training set by selecting 3 high-frequency keywords and 3 low-frequency keywords in the corpus. In experiments, we obtained accuracy of 54.4% with manually constructed training set and 50.0% with semi-automatically expanded training set.

Semantic similarity/relatedness measure between two concepts plays an important role in research on system integration and database integration. Moreover, current research on keyword recommendation or tag clustering strongly depends on this kind of semantic measure. For this reason, many researchers in various fields including computer science and computational linguistics have tried to improve methods to calculating semantic similarity/relatedness measure. This study of similarity between concepts is meant to discover how a computational process can model the action of a human to determine the relationship between two concepts. Most research on calculating semantic similarity usually uses ready-made reference knowledge such as semantic network and dictionary to measure concept similarity. The topological method is used to calculated relatedness or similarity between concepts based on various forms of a semantic network including a hierarchical taxonomy. This approach assumes that the semantic network reflects the human knowledge well. The nodes in a network represent concepts, and way to measure the conceptual similarity between two nodes are also regarded as ways to determine the conceptual similarity of two words(i.e,. two nodes in a network). Topological method can be categorized as node-based or edge-based, which are also called the information content approach and the conceptual distance approach, respectively. The node-based approach is used to calculate similarity between concepts based on how much information the two concepts share in terms of a semantic network or taxonomy while edge-based approach estimates the distance between the nodes that correspond to the concepts being compared. Both of two approaches have assumed that the semantic network is static. That means topological approach has not considered the change of semantic relation between concepts in semantic network. However, as information communication technologies make advantage in sharing knowledge among people, semantic relation between concepts in semantic network may change. To explain the change in semantic relation, we adopt the cognitive semantics. The basic assumption of cognitive semantics is that humans judge the semantic relation based on their cognition and understanding of concepts. This cognition and understanding is called 'World Knowledge.' World knowledge can be categorized as personal knowledge and cultural knowledge. Personal knowledge means the knowledge from personal experience. Everyone can have different Personal Knowledge of same concept. Cultural Knowledge is the knowledge shared by people who are living in the same culture or using the same language. People in the same culture have common understanding of specific concepts. Cultural knowledge can be the starting point of discussion about the change of semantic relation. If the culture shared by people changes for some reasons, the human's cultural knowledge may also change. Today's society and culture are changing at a past face, and the change of cultural knowledge is not negligible issues in the research on semantic relationship between concepts. In this paper, we propose the future directions of research on semantic similarity. In other words, we discuss that how the research on semantic similarity can reflect the change of semantic relation caused by the change of cultural knowledge. We suggest three direction of future research on semantic similarity. First, the research should include the versioning and update methodology for semantic network. Second, semantic network which is dynamically generated can be used for the calculation of semantic similarity between concepts. If the researcher can develop the methodology to extract the semantic network from given knowledge base in real time, this approach can solve many problems related to the change of semantic relation. Third, the statistical approach based on corpus analysis can be an alternative for the method using semantic network. We believe that these proposed research direction can be the milestone of the research on semantic relation.

The e-Marketplace is growing rapidly and providing a more complex relationship between providers and consumers. In recent years, e-Marketplace integration or cooperation issues have become an important issue in e-Business. The e-Catalog is a key factor in e-Business, which means an e-Catalog System needs to contain more large data and requires a more efficient retrieval system. This paper focuses on designing an efficient retrieval system for very large e-Catalogs of large e-Marketplaces. For this reason, a new similarity measure for e-Catalog retrieval based on semantic relationships was proposed. Our achievement is this: first, a new e-Catalog data model based on semantic relationships was designed. Second, the model was extended by considering lexical features (Especially, focus on Korean). Third, the factors affecting similarity with the model was defined. Fourth, from the factors, we finally defined a new similarity measure, realized the system and verified it through experimentation.

The ontology alignment has two kinds of major problems. First, the features used for ontology alignment are usually defined by experts, but it is highly possible for some critical features to be excluded from the feature set. Second, the semantic and the structural similarities are usually computed independently, and then they are combined in an ad-hoc way where the weights are determined heuristically. This paper proposes the modified parse tree kernel (MPTK) for ontology alignment. In order to compute the similarity between entities in the ontologies, a tree is adopted as a representation of an ontology. After transforming an ontology into a set of trees, their similarity is computed using MPTK without explicit enumeration of features. In computing the similarity between trees, the approximate string matching is adopted to naturally reflect not only the structural information but also the semantic information. According to a series of experiments with a standard data set, the kernel method outperforms other structural similarities such as GMO. In addition, the proposed method shows the state-of-the-art performance in the ontology alignment.

인터넷 상의 정보교환을 위한 국제표준인 XML은 여러 분야의 응용에 사용되며 응용의 특성에 따라 다양한 형태의 구조로 정의되어 사용된다. 이러한 XML은 응용에 따라 의미적으로 유사한 정보라 하더라도 서로 다른 구조정보를 가질 수 있으며 때로는 스키마(DTD)가 없는 XML문서 형태로 존재하기도 한다. 그 결과 특정 영역(동일 스키마 따르는)의 응용들 사이의 통합은 용이해 졌으나 서로 다른 영역 또는 영역에서 소외된 응용과의 통합은 여전히 문제로 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 대부분의 XML문서는 구조정보에 의미를 내포하고 있다는 특성을 고려하여 문서의 구조정보만을 이용하여 서로 다른 영역의 정보들 사이의 유사성을 판단하고 이를 이용하여 의미적으로 유사한 정보를 찾는다. 또한 XML 문서의 특성을 고려하여 보다 정확한 유사정보를 찾기 위하여 처리의 단위를 정의하고 이를 기반으로 프로토타입 시스템을 구현하였다.

As information resources have become more various and the number of the resources has increased, knowledge customization on the social web has been becoming more difficult. To reduce the burden, we offer a framework for context-based similarity calculation for knowledge customization using ontology on the CBR. Thereby, we newly developed context- and intensity-based similarity calculation methods which are applied to extraction of the most similar case considered semantic similarity and syntactic, and effective creation of the user-tailored knowledge using the selected case. The process is comprised of conversion of unstructured web information into cases, extraction of an appropriate case according to the user requirements, and customization of the knowledge using the selected case. In the experimental section, the effectiveness of the developed similarity methods are compared with other edge-counting similarity methods using two classes which are compared with each other. It shows that our framework leads higher similarity values for conceptually close classes compared with other methods.

인간의 언어지식은 다양한 개념 관계를 가지며 서로 망(network)의 모습으로 연결되어 있다. 인간의 언어지식의 산물 중에서 가장 체계적이며 구조적으로 언어의 모습을 드러내고 있는 결과물이 사전이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 사전 뜻풀이 말에서 개념 어휘와 자동적인 지식획득을 통하여 의미 정보를 구조적으로 추출한다. 이러한 의미 정보가 추출되면서 동시에 자동적으로 개념 어휘의 의미 참조 모형이 구축된다. 이러한 것은 사전이 표제어 리스트와 표제어를 기술하는 뜻풀이말로 이루어진 구조의 특성상 가능하다. 먼저 172,000여 개의 사전 뜻풀이말을 대상으로 품사 태그와 의미 태그가 부여된 코퍼스에서 의미 정보를 추출하는데, 의미분별이 처리 된 결과물을 대상으로 하기 때문에 의미 중의성은 고려하지 않아도 된다. 추출된 의미 정보를 대상으로 정제 작업을 거쳐 정보이론의 상호 정보량(Ml)을 이용하여 개념 어휘와 의미 정보간에 연관도를 측정한 후, 개념 어휘간의 유사도(SMC)를 구하여 지식표현의 하나로 연관망을 구축한다.
