This study identities various types of subjective perception of hearing-impaired persons on sign language interpretation using Q-methodology in an attempt to explore ways for developing more useful sign language interpretation services for them. For this purpose, 35 statements are extracted based on literatures and in-depth interviews and Q-classification is conducted for 20 interviewees. The results identify a common perception on the provision of sign language interpreter to frequently used institutions of hearing-impaired persons. They also derive three distinguished types of perception: seeking specialization of sign language interpretation, seeking traditional sign language interpretation services and seeking expansion and improvement of sign language interpretation services. Based on the results, the study suggests residence of sign language interpreters in public facilities, improvements of qualification system and education and training courses, specialization by field and improvement of the practice of sign language interpretation services, provision of customized services to the elderly and use of sign language interpreters reflecting the needs of the users.

The purpose of this study is to develop sign language interpreting content in the medical setting that facilitates Deaf people's access to medical services in situations where professional and accurate medical sign language interpreting is insufficient. To achieve the purpose of this study, we conducted a literature review, individual interviews for Deaf people, on-site requirement surveys of sign language interpreters and sign language experts, and medical and sign language expert consultations. Based on this, we developed sign language interpreting content such as main care contextual scenarios, basic medical terms, and medical term descriptions. Through this study, we developed medical sign language content considering the situation and medical importance of Deaf people to promote expertise in the medial sign language area and developed a responsive website of sign language medical dictionary that effectively and efficiently delivers information to Deaf people and sign language interpreters; we realized the need and importance of sign language translation for Deaf people to be the main bodies.

It is difficult for the hearing impaired to use the counseling service without sign language interpretation. Due to the shortage of sign language interpreters, it takes a lot of time to connect to sign language interpreters, or there are many cases where the connection is not available. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system that captures sign language as an image using OpenCV and CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), recognizes sign language motion, and converts the meaning of sign language into textual data and provides it to users. The counselor can conduct counseling by reading the stored sign language translation counseling contents. Consultation is possible without a professional sign language interpreter, reducing the burden of waiting for a sign language interpreter. If the proposed system is applied to counseling services for the hearing impaired, it is expected to improve the effectiveness of counseling and promote academic research on counseling for the hearing impaired in the future.

청각장애인을 위한 지상파방송 서비스 중 자막방송은 100%에 가까운 편성 비율을 달성하고 있지만, 수화방송은 방송화면을 가리는 특성과 비용 등의 문제로 5% 수준의 편성에 그치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자막방송을 수화로 번역하여 그래픽 수화 방송을 생성함으로써 수화방송의 비율을 높이고자 한다. 일기예보에 한정하여 수화방송을 생성한 기존 연구 결과를 바탕으로 모든 방송 프로그램에 적용 가능한 그래픽 수화방송 시스템을 제안한다. 자막방송 문장을 형태소별로 분석한 다음 중요 품사 위주로 단어 단위로 번역하고, 한국어 어휘의미망을 이용하여 수화사전에 없는 단어를 대표어로 대체하였다. 형제어와 문맥 정보를 이용하여 중의성 단어를 성공적으로 번역하였다. 기존 일기예보 수화방송 시스템의 수화 사전과 수화 모션 데이터베이스를 추가 구축하였다. 자동번역 기술이 전문 수화 통역사의 수준을 따라잡을 수는 없지만 향후 수화방송도 선택적 서비스가 가능해지고 수화통역사의 수화방송이 모든 프로그램에 편성될 때까지 본 시스템이 보조적 시청 수단으로 사용 가능할 것이다.

The world has rapidly become culturally diverse, and Korea has gradually grown into a multicultural society, mainly due to marriage immigrants and foreign laborers, whose number exceeds over one million nationally. Their adjustment and acculturation in Korea, however, dose'nt seem painless and untroubled, and public libraries are in duty to provide multicultural service for these population. Providing useful services on the homepage makes it possible for users to find the information they need without having to visit the actual library. A more detailed research will be conducted by examining the multicultural services provided by the public libraries in Australia, Canada, the United States, and Japan, the leading multicultural societies. The further examination will be conducted on these libraries in terms of four aspects, that is, information, literacy, education, and culture, as declared by Public Library Menifesto. In Korea, translation and interpretation services, homework help, child literacy are necessary services at the public library, Management of independent multicultural site, shared services between Regional Central Library and Community Public Library, cooperation with libraries, government and organization will be helpful to multicultural library services.

In 21 century, we entered the multiculture society. Multi cultural society became a trend. It is known that 65.5 percents of Koreans find difficuty in using foreign languages. The need for intellignet and machine translation is increasing rapidly. This paper suggests a translation system which is mainly using in MICE industry. There are many applications provide translation, however, using multuple translayion appication is rare. We provide untact service which can import many application tools to provide a better service.

KT는 음성언어기술 연구를 10여년 이상 진행하여 왔다. 1990년 초에는 음성번역 연구를 중심으로 기초기술을 수행하여 왔으며 그 결과 1995년 5월 16일에 한-일 간 호텔예약을 위한 자동통역시험을 전자통신연구원, 일본 KDD(국제전신전화회사)와 성공적으로 수행하였다. 1995년 이후부터 유/무선통신망 응용연구 및 개발을 중심으로 수행하였다. 먼저 음성인식 증권정보 서비스를 1995년 가을부터 국내 최초로 시험서비스를 수행하였으며 1998년에는 음성인식 무인자동 교환서비스도 개발하였다(1). 2000년부터는 VoiceXML기 반 음성 언어 시스템을 개발하였으며 이를 지능망(Advanced Intelligent Network)에 수용하기 위해서 IP(Intelligent Peripheral) 에 음성인식, 음성합성기 및 VoiceXML 해석기를 통합하기 위한 연으로 다양한 음성언어서비스를 개발하여 출시하기 시작하였다［2］［3］［4］.(중략)
