Sentiment analysis, a branch of natural language processing that classifies and identifies subjective opinions and emotions in text documents as positive or negative, can be used for various promotions and services through customer preference analysis. To this end, recent research has been conducted utilizing various techniques in machine learning and deep learning. In this study, we propose an optimal language model by comparing the accuracy of sentiment analysis for movie, product, and game reviews using existing RNN-based models and recent Transformer-based language models. In our experiments, LMKorBERT and GPT3 showed relatively good accuracy among the models pre-trained on the Korean corpus.

Keyword-oriented search methods are mainly used as data search methods, but this is not suitable as a search method in the legal field where professional terms are widely used. In response, this paper proposes an effective data search method in the legal field. We describe embedding methods optimized for determining similarities between sentences in the field of natural language processing of legal domains. After embedding legal sentences based on keywords using TF-IDF or semantic embedding using Universal Sentence Encoder, we propose an optimal way to search for data by combining BERT models to check similarities between sentences in the legal field.

공손함은 인간 언어의 가장 흥미로운 특징 중 하나이며, 자연어처리 시스템이 인간과 자연스럽게 대화하기 위해 필수적으로 모델링해야 할 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 인간의 발화가 주어졌을 때, 이의 공손함을 판단할 수 있는 시스템을 구현한다. 이를 위해 딥러닝 방법인 양방향 LSTM 모델과, 최근 자연어처리 분야에서 각광받고 있는 BERT 모델에 대해 성능 비교를 수행하였다. 이 두 기술은 모두 문맥 정보를 반영할 수 있는 모델로서, 같은 단어라도 문맥 정보에 따라 의미가 달라질 수 있는 공손함의 미묘한 차이를 반영할 수 있다. 실험 결과, 여러 설정에 거쳐 BERT 모델이 양방향 LSTM 모델보다 더 우수함을 확인하였다. 또한, 발화가 구어체보다 문어체에 가까울 수록 딥러닝 모델의 성능이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 제안된 두 가지 방법의 성능을 인간의 판단 능력과 비교해본 결과, 위키피디아 도메인에서 BERT 모델이 91.71%의 성능을 보여 인간의 정확도인 86.72%를 상회함을 확인하였다.

In this study, we embark on a journey to uncover the essence of emotions by exploring the depths of transfer learning on three pre-trained transformer models. Our quest to classify five emotions culminates in discovering the KLUE (Korean Language Understanding Evaluation)-BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model, which is the most exceptional among its peers. Our analysis of F1 scores attests to its superior learning and generalization abilities on the experimental data. To delve deeper into the mystery behind its success, we employ the powerful SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) method to unravel the intricacies of the KLUE-BERT model. The findings of our investigation are presented with a mesmerizing text plot visualization, which serves as a window into the model's soul. This approach enables us to grasp the impact of individual tokens on emotion classification and provides irrefutable, visually appealing evidence to support the predictions of the KLUE-BERT model.

While the incorporating ESG indicator is recognized as crucial for sustainability and increased firm value, inconsistent disclosure of ESG data and vague assessment standards have been key challenges. To address these issues, this study proposes an ambiguous text-based automated ESG rating strategy. Earnings Call Transcript data were classified as E, S, or G using the Refinitiv-Sustainable Leadership Monitor's over 450 metrics. The study employed advanced natural language processing techniques such as BERT, RoBERTa, ALBERT, FinBERT, and ELECTRA models to precisely classify ESG documents. In addition, the authors computed the average predicted probabilities for each label, providing a means to identify the relative significance of different ESG factors. The results of experiments demonstrated the capability of the proposed methodology in enhancing ESG assessment criteria established by various rating agencies and highlighted that companies primarily focus on governance factors. In other words, companies were making efforts to strengthen their governance framework. In conclusion, this framework enables sustainable and responsible business by providing insight into the ESG information contained in Earnings Call Transcript data.

In this paper, we propose a BERGPT-chatbot, a domestic AI chatbot that can alleviate negative emotions based on text input such as 'Replika'. We made BERGPT-chatbot into a chatbot capable of mitigating negative emotions by pipelined two models, KR-BERT and KoGPT2-chatbot. We applied a creative method of giving emotions to unrefined everyday datasets through KR-BERT, and learning additional datasets through KoGPT2-chatbot. The development background of BERGPT-chatbot is as follows. Currently, the number of people with depression is increasing all over the world. This phenomenon is emerging as a more serious problem due to COVID-19, which causes people to increase long-term indoor living or limit interpersonal relationships. Overseas artificial intelligence chatbots aimed at relieving negative emotions or taking care of mental health care, have increased in use due to the pandemic. In Korea, Psychological diagnosis chatbots similar to those of overseas cases are being operated. However, as the domestic chatbot is a system that outputs a button-based answer rather than a text input-based answer, when compared to overseas chatbots, domestic chatbots remain at a low level of diagnosing human psychology. Therefore, we proposed a chatbot that helps mitigating negative emotions through BERGPT-chatbot. Finally, we compared BERGPT-chatbot and KoGPT2-chatbot through 'Perplexity', an internal evaluation metric for evaluating language models, and showed the superity of BERGPT-chatbot.

Spatial information is essential for interpreting urban phenomena. Methodologies for spatializing urban information, especially when it lacks location details, have been consistently developed. Typical methods include Geocoding using structured address information or place names, spatial integration with existing geospatial data, and manual tasks utilizing reference data. However, a vast number of documents produced by administrative agencies have not been deeply dealt with due to their unstructured nature, even when there's demand for spatialization. This research utilizes the natural language processing model BERT to spatialize public documents related to urban planning. It focuses on extracting sentence elements containing addresses from documents and converting them into structured data. The study used 18 years of urban planning public announcement documents as training data to train the BERT model and enhanced its performance by manually adjusting its hyperparameters. After training, the test results showed accuracy rates of 96.6% for classifying urban planning facilities, 98.5% for address recognition, and 93.1% for address cleaning. When mapping the result data on GIS, it was possible to effectively display the change history related to specific urban planning facilities. This research provides a deep understanding of the spatial context of urban planning documents, and it is hoped that through this, stakeholders can make more effective decisions.

The global surge in maritime traffic has resulted in an increased number of ship collisions, leading to significant economic, environmental, physical, and human damage. The causes of these maritime accidents are multifaceted, often arising from a combination of crew judgment errors, negligence, complexity of navigation routes, weather conditions, and technical deficiencies in the vessels. Given the intricate nuances and contextual information inherent in each incident, a methodology capable of deeply understanding the semantics and context of sentences is imperative. Accordingly, this study utilized the SentenceBERT model to analyze maritime safety tribunal decisions over the last 20 years in the Busan Sea area, which encapsulated data on ship collision incidents. The analysis revealed important keywords potentially responsible for these incidents. Cluster analysis based on the frequency of specific keyword appearances was conducted and visualized. This information can serve as foundational data for the preemptive identification of accident causes and the development of strategies for collision prevention and response.

Recently, it is a de-facto approach to utilize a pre-trained language model(PLM) to achieve the state-of-the-art performance for various natural language tasks(called downstream tasks) such as sentiment analysis and question answering. However, similar to any other machine learning method, PLM tends to depend on the data distribution seen during the training phase and shows worse performance on the unseen (Out-of-Distribution) domain. Due to the aforementioned reason, there have been many efforts to develop domain-specified PLM for various fields such as medical and legal industries. In this paper, we discuss the training of a finance domain-specified PLM for the Korean language and its applications. Our finance domain-specified PLM, KB-BERT, is trained on a carefully curated financial corpus that includes domain-specific documents such as financial reports. We provide extensive performance evaluation results on three natural language tasks, topic classification, sentiment analysis, and question answering. Compared to the state-of-the-art Korean PLM models such as KoELECTRA and KLUE-RoBERTa, KB-BERT shows comparable performance on general datasets based on common corpora like Wikipedia and news articles. Moreover, KB-BERT outperforms compared models on finance domain datasets that require finance-specific knowledge to solve given problems.
