전문용어는 특정 분야의 문서들에서 그 분야 특징을 반영하는 용어를 지칭하는 말로 최근 이러한 전문용어를 자동으로 인식하는 연구들이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전문용어 인식의 방법 중 규칙 기반 방법의 한 종류인 사전 기반 방법을 이용하여 전문용어를 인식한다. 사전 기반 방법의 보통 다음과 같은 문제점이 있다. 첫째 같은 의미를 가지지만 형태가 다른 전문용어의 인식이 어려우며, 둘째 정확한 경계를 인식하기 위해서는 모든 단어에 대해 사전에 존재하는 가장 긴 단어의 크기만큼 매칭을 시도해야하며, 셋째 인식된 경계가 겹칠 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 사전 매칭시 정규표현을 이용하여 첫 번째 문제를 해결하며, 트라이를 이용하여 사전을 구축하고, 매칭시 스택을 이용한 병렬구조를 사용하여 두 번째 문제를 해결하였으며, 구간트리라는 자료구조를 이용하여 세 번째 문제를 해결하였다.

There has been increasing interest in automatic term recognition (ATR), which recognizes technical terms for given domain specific texts. ATR is composed of 'term extraction', which extracts candidates of technical terms and 'term selection' which decides whether terms in a term list derived from 'term extraction' are technical terms or not. 'term selection' is a process to rank a term list depending on features of technical term and to find the boundary between technical term and general term. The previous works just use statistical features of terms for 'term selection'. However, there are limitations on effectively selecting technical terms among a term list using the statistical feature. The objective of this paper is to find effective features for 'term selection' by considering various aspects of technical terms. In order to solve the ranking problem, we derive various features of technical terms and combine the features using machine-learning algorithms. For solving the boundary finding problem, we define it as a binary classification problem which classifies a term in a term list into technical term and general term. Experiments show that our method records 78-86% precision and 87%-90% recall in boundary finding, and 89%-92% 11-point precision in ranking. Moreover, our method shows higher performance than the previous work's about 26% in maximum.

전문용어의 수가 급증하면서 전문용어를 자동으로 인식하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 전문용어를 인식하기 위해서 전문용어의 범위를 정한 뒤 그 전문용어의 분야를 선택해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 생물/의학 사전정보와 CRF(Conditional Random Fields) 기계학습 기법을 사용하여 연구를 진행한다. 기계학습을 위한 자질로 품사, 접사, 대소문자, 숫자, 특수문자, 단서어휘 등을 사용한다. 특히 단서어휘와 사전정보를 중요한 요소로 생각하여, 3가지 방법으로 나누어 실험한다. 총 분야의 개수는 7개이며, 각 분야별로 정확률, 재현율, F-measure를 측정한다. 경계인식은 83.92%의 정확률, 96.42%의 재현율, 89.73의 F-measure가 결과로 나타났고, 분야분류는 79.29%의 정확률, 91.06%의 재현율, 84.77%의 F-measure가 결과로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 문서분류시스템에서 자질의 표현으로 전문분야사전을 이용한 분야정보와 개체정보추출을 통한 개체정보를 이용한다. 또한 지식정보를 보완하기 위해 통계적인 방법으로 범주 전문용어를 인식하여 자질로 표현하는 방법을 제안한다. 문서에 나타난 용어들이 어떤 특정 전문분야에 속하는 용어들이 많이 나타나는 경우 그 문서는 용어들이 속한 분야의 문서일 가능성이 높다. 또한, 정보추출을 통해 용어가 어떠한 개체를 나타내는지를 인식하여 문서를 표현함으로써 문서가 내포하는 의미를 보다 잘 반영할 수 있게 된다. 분야정보나 개체정보를 알 수 없는 용어에 대해서는 학습문서로부터 전문분야를 자동 인식함으로써 문서표현의 지식정보를 보완한다. 전문분야, 개체정보 및 범주전문용어에 기반해서 표현된 문서의 자질에 대해서 지지벡터기계 학습에 기반한 문서분류기틀 이용하여 각 범주에 대해 이진분류를 하였다. 제안된 문서자질표현은 용어기반의 자질표현에 비해 좋은 성능을 보이고 있다.

Many statistical methods have been adapted for terminology recognition to improve its accuracy. However, since previous studies have been carried out in a single core or a single machine, they have difficulties in real-time analysing explosively increasing documents. In this study, the task where bottlenecks occur in the process of terminology recognition is classified into linguistic processing in the process of 'candidate terminology extraction' and collection of statistical information in the process of 'terminology weight assignment'. A terminology recognition system is implemented and experimented to address each task by means of the distributed parallel processing-based MapReduce. The experiments were performed in two ways; the first experiment result revealed that distributed parallel processing by means of 12 nodes improves processing speed by 11.27 times as compared to the case of using a single machine and the second experiment was carried out on 1) default environment, 2) multiple reducers, 3) combiner, and 4) the combination of 2)and 3), and the use of 3) showed the best performance. Our terminology recognition system contributes to speed up knowledge extraction of large scale science and technology documents.

Large-scaled information extraction plays an important role in advanced information retrieval as well as question answering and summarization. Information extraction can be defined as a process of converting unstructured documents into formalized, tabular information, which consists of named-entity recognition, terminology extraction, coreference resolution and relation extraction. Since all the elementary technologies have been studied independently so far, it is not trivial to integrate all the necessary processes of information extraction due to the diversity of their input/output formation approaches and operating environments. As a result, it is difficult to handle scientific documents to extract both named-entities and technical terms at once. In order to extract these entities automatically from scientific documents at once, we developed a framework for scientific core entity extraction which embraces all the pivotal language processors, named-entity recognizer and terminology extractor.

Ontology defines the terms used in a specific domain and the relationships between them and represents them as hierarchical taxonomy. The present paper proposes a semi-automatic domain-specific ontology construction method based on terminology Processing. For this purpose, it presents an algorithm to extract terminology according to the noun/suffix pattern of terminology in domain texts and find their hierarchical structure. The experiment was carried out using pharmacy-related documents. As singleton terminology with noun/suffix were identified, the average accuracy was 92.57%. In case of multi-word terminology, the average accuracy was 66.64%. The constructed ontology forms natural semantic clusters with based on suffices and semantic information, so can be utilized in approaches to specific knowledge such as information look-up or as the base of inference to improve searching abilities.

Terminology recognition system which is a preceding research for text mining, information extraction, information retrieval, semantic web, and question-answering has been intensively studied in limited range of domains, especially in bio-medical domain. We propose a domain independent terminology recognition system based on machine learning method using dictionary, syntactic features, and Web search results, since the previous works revealed limitation on applying their approaches to general domain because their resources were domain specific. We achieved F-score 80.8 and 6.5% improvement after comparing the proposed approach with the related approach, C-value, which has been widely used and is based on local domain frequencies. In the second experiment with various combinations of unithood features, the method combined with NGD(Normalized Google Distance) showed the best performance of 81.8 on F-score. We applied three machine learning methods such as Logistic regression, C4.5, and SVMs, and got the best score from the decision tree method, C4.5.

Large-scaled information extraction consists of named-entity recognition, terminology extraction and relation extraction. Since all the elementary technologies have been studied independently so far, test collections for related machine learning models also have been constructed independently. As a result, it is difficult to handle scientific documents to extract both named-entities and technical terms at once. In this study, we integrate named-entities and terminologies with PLOT(Person, Location, Organization, Terminology) in a biomedical domain and construct a test collection of PLOT and relations between PLOTs.

Information extraction can be defined as a process of converting unstructured documents into formalized, tabular information, which consists of named-entity recognition, terminology extraction, coreference resolution and relation extraction. Since all the elementary technologies have been studied independently so far, it is not trivial to integrate all the necessary processes of information extraction due to the diversity of their input/output formation approaches and operating environments. As a result, it is difficult to handle scientific documents to extract both named-entities and technical terms at once. In this study, we define scientific as a set of 10 types of named entities and technical terminologies in a biomedical domain. in order to automatically extract these entities from scientific documents at once, we develop a framework for scientific core entity extraction which embraces all the pivotal language processors, named-entity recognizer, co-reference resolver and terminology extractor. Each module of the integrated system has been evaluated with various corpus as well as KEEC 2009. The system will be utilized for various information service areas such as information retrieval, question-answering(Q&A), document indexing, dictionary construction, and so on.
