In this work, we propose a new method of extracting and weighting representative keywords(RKs) from a few documents that might interest a user. In order to extract RKs, we first extract candidate terms and them choose a number of terms called initial representative keywords (IRKs) from them through fuzzy inference. Then, by expanding and reweighting IRKs using term co-occurrence similarity, the final RKs are obtained. Performance of our approach is heavily influenced by effectiveness of selection method of IRKs so that we choose fuzzy inference because it is more effective in handling the uncertainty inherent in selecting representative keywords of documents. The problem addressed in this paper can be viewed as the one of calculating center of document vectors. So, to show the usefulness of our approach, we compare with two famous methods - Rocchio and Widrow-Hoff - on a number of documents collections. The result show that our approach outperforms the other approaches.

As the use of the Internet has recently increased, the demand for opinion information posted on the Internet has grown. However, such resources only exist on the website. People who want to search for information on the Internet find it inconvenient to visit each website. This paper focuses on the opinion information extraction and analysis system through Web mining that is based on statistics collected from Web contents. That is, users' opinion information which is scattered across several websites can be automatically analyzed and extracted. The system provides the opinion information search service that enables users to search for real-time positive and negative opinions and check their statistics. Also, users can do real-time search and monitoring about other opinion information by putting keywords in the system. Proposed technologies proved to have outstanding capabilities in comparison to existing ones through tests. The capabilities to extract positive and negative opinion information were assessed. Specifically, test movie review sentence testing data was tested and its results were analyzed.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the efficient classification and annotation of medical images, especially X-ray images. Since X-ray images have a bright foreground against a dark background, we need to extract the different visual descriptors compare with general nature images. In this paper, a Color Structure Descriptor (CSD) based on Harris Corner Detector is only extracted from salient points, and an Edge Histogram Descriptor (EHD) used for a textual feature of image. These two feature vectors are then applied to a multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM), respectively, to classify images into one of 20 categories. Finally, an image has the Annotation Code Array based on the pre-defined hierarchical relations of categories and priority code order, which is given the several optimal keywords by the Annotation Code Array. Our experiments show that our annotation results have better annotation performance when compared to other method.

We implemented a system being able to suggest example sentences for multiple choice tests, considering the level of students. To build the system, we designed an automatic method for sentence generation, which made it possible to control the difficulty degree of questions. For the proper evaluation in the multiple choice tests, proper size of question pools is required. To satisfy this requirement, a system which can generate various and numerous questions and their example sentences in a fast way should be used. In this paper, we designed an automatic generation method using a linguistic resource called WordNet. For the automatic generation, firstly, we extracted keywords from the existing sentences with the morphological analysis and candidate terms with similar meaning to the keywords in Korean WordNet space are suggested. When suggesting candidate terms, we transformed the existing Korean WordNet scheme into a new scheme to construct the concept similarity matrix. The similarity degree between concepts can be ranged from 0, representing synonyms relationships, to 9, representing non-connected relationships. By using the degree, we can control the difficulty degree of newly generated questions. We used two methods for evaluating semantic similarity between two concepts. The first one is considering only the distance between two concepts and the second one additionally considers positions of two concepts in the Korean Wordnet space. With these methods, we can build a system which can help the instructors generate new questions and their example sentences with various contents and difficulty degree from existing sentences more easily.

In this paper, we propose a content-based video indexing and retrieval system using MPEG-7 standard to retrieve and manage videos efficiently. The proposed system consists of video indexing module for a video DB and video retrieval module to allow various query methods on a web environment. Video indexing module stores metadata such as manually typed in keywords, automatically recognized character names, and MPEG-7 visual descriptors extracted by indexing module into a DB in a sever side. A user can access to retrieval module by a web and retrieve desired videos through various query methods like keywords, faces, example and sketch. For this retrieval system, we propose ATC(Adaptive Twin Comparison) as a cut detection method for efficient video indexing and QBME(Query By Modified Example) as an improved content-based query method for the convenience of users. Experimental results show that the proposed ATC method detects cuts well and the proposed QBME method provides the conveniences better than existing query methods such as QBE(Query By Example) and QBS(Query By Sketch).

Broadcasting programs are provided to various media such as Internet replay, OTT, and IPTV services as well as self-broadcasting. In this case, it is very important to provide keywords for search that represent the characteristics of the content well. Broadcasters mainly use the method of manually entering key keywords in the production process and the archive process. This method is insufficient in terms of quantity to secure core metadata, and also reveals limitations in recommending and using content in other media services. This study supports securing a large number of metadata by utilizing closed caption data pre-archived through the DTV closed captioning server developed in EBS. First, core metadata was automatically extracted by applying Google's natural language AI technology. The next step is to propose a method of finding core metadata by reflecting priorities and content characteristics as core research contents. As a technology to obtain differentiated metadata weights, the importance was classified by applying the TF-IDF calculation method. Successful weight data were obtained as a result of the experiment. The string metadata obtained by this study, when combined with future string similarity measurement studies, becomes the basis for securing sophisticated content recommendation metadata from content services provided to other media.

To overcome the limitation of keyword-based integrated search, this study shows entity-centric integrated search method using URI scheme. Our system generates entity pages in ways of analyzing user's keyword and instances matched with it, selecting optimal entity type, and calling unit services simultaneously. Topic information extracted from articles is propagated to persons, institutions, and locations by reasoning for providing topic-centric information. With comparative experiments based on search results and usability tests, we proved that this approach is superior to keyword-based integrated search served by CiteSeer and Google Scholar.
