Since documents on the Web are naturally partitioned into many document databases, the efficient information retrieval process requires identifying the document databases that are most likely to provide relevant documents to the query and then querying the identified document databases. We propose a neural net based user feedback learning mechanism for such an efficient information retrieval. Presented learning mechanism learns about underlying document databases using the relevance feedbacks obtained from user's retrieval experiences. For a given query, the learning mechanism, which is sufficiently trained, discovers the document databases associated with the relevant documents and retrieves those documents effectively.

In this study, the usability evaluation of a menu-structure was performed using spreading activation model with respect to human's memory retrieval. Spreading Activation Model is effectively used to understand the process of information retrieval, so it can be used as a theoretical background for modeling of the process of human's information retrieval. For spreading activation test (SAT), subjects were presented with 67 pairs of menu titles, which consist of a menu title in the high level menu item and a menu title for the next lower level menu item, from Korea University's web site. For performance tests, three scenarios were developed with longer reaction times and ambiguous associations found in the SAT to reflect the existing problems of the website. As a result, the SAT was found to bean effective tool to enhance the website usability because the SAT could bea substitute for the performance test with a high correlation $({\rho}=0.735,\;{\alpha}=0.05)$. After remaining menu titles with slow reaction times and ambiguous associations found in SAT, the website usability was significantly improved with faster reaction times and less ambiguous associations proven with smaller number of web-page visits. Therefore, the SAT could be used as a methodology to design and evaluate the user-centered menu structure related to human's association structure.

While the WWW offers an incredibly rich base of information, organized as a hypertext, it does not provide a uniform and efficient way to retrieve specific information. When one tries to find information entering several query terms into a search engine, the highly-ranked pages in the result usually contain many irrelevant or useless pages. The problem is that single-term queries do not contain sufficient information to specify exactly which web pages are needed by the user. The purpose of this paper is to describe the employment of association rules in data mining for developing networks and computing associative coefficient among the terms. And this paper shows how the dynamic query expansion and/or reduction can be performed in information retrieval.

This research does focus on supporting all of formal, or informal learning at real time. From industry or education field, learning training is according to worker's current situation or business context. And according to worker's current situation, or business flow, 3D immersion knowledge visualization is effective in the individual ability and the learning progress For this, workers listen to compound knowledge coaching advices at real time. Therefore we developed the realistic 3D based knowledge retrieval method to identify and retrieve multidimensional relation easily.

This paper compared fuzzy thesaurus through query extension with existent thesaurus and direct matching retrieval etc. Performance of fuzzy thesaurus is evaluated by the recall and precision through simulation. An experiment did through assessment that use critical value, query extension, and reusability satisfaction. As a result of the experiment, we knew component retrieval efficiency of fuzzy thesaurus excels.

In this paper, we used query evaluation method through thesaurus for retrieving Components having concept relation with any classes in a query. Queries are presented in boolean and expanded by similar table. Query expansion by thesaurus is the solution of the term mismatching and it enhanced precision and recall of the components retrieval. For efficiency evaluation of query expansion, we defined most critical value through a simulation and compared precision and recall each other.

In this paper, we implemented design pattern retrieval system for efficient management and reusability of design patterns. Pattern is consisted of property information and meta information. Property information is used for similarity measurement on classification and retrieval of patterns. Meta information is used for UML modeling of patterns. We classified design patterns with the empirical scope in addition to Gamma's basic classification.

This study has proposed a method of content-based image retrieval in order to overcome disadvantages of color histogram. The existing histogram method has a weak point that reduces accuracy because of quantization error, and more. In order to solve this, we convert color information to HSV and quantize Hue factor being net color information and calculate histogram and then use this for retrieval feature that is robust in brightness, movement, and rotation. As a result of experimenting, the method proposed has showed better precision than the existing method.

In this paper we constructed semantic net that can efficiently conform retrieval and reuse of object-oriented source code. In order that initial relevance of semantic net was constructed using thesaurus to represent concept of object-oriented inheritance between each node. Also we made up for the weak points in spreading activation method that use to activate node and line of semantic net and to impulse activation value. Therefore we proposed the method to enhance retrieval time and to keep the quality of spreading activation.

A series of studies has been conducted to establish a base infrastructure for an ovarian follicle culture system in the porcine and this study was designed to develop an effective retrieval protocol of preantral follicles. Five different methods using collagenase type I (A) or IV (B, C1, C2 and C3), which employed different treatment durations and/or conditions, were employed and sliced ovarian tissue of prepubertal gilts was provided for the retrieval. A significant increase in total number of follicles retrieved was detected when collagenase IV (methods B or C) was used. In total, more ovarian follicles were retrieved by method B undertaking agitation and method C2 without the agitation than method C1 and C3, while the number of preantral follicles collected was the largest in method B. Neither incubation in 5% $CO_2$ in air atmosphere instead of the agitation nor increased duration of enzymatic treatment up to 120 minutes improved the efficiency of follicle retrieval. There were no differences in the number of follicles retrieved from intact ovaries and from used ovaries for oocyte collection. These results demonstrate the collagenase IV treatment with agitation is effective for retrieving porcine preantral follicles from the ovaries.
