The jurisprudential legal rules govern the way Muslims react and interact to daily life. This creates a huge stream of questions, that require highly qualified and well-educated individuals, called Muftis. With Muslims representing almost 25% of the planet population, and the scarcity of qualified Muftis, this creates a demand supply problem calling for Automation solutions. This motivates the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve this problem, which requires a well-designed Question-Answering (QA) system to solve it. In this work, we propose a QA system, based on retrieval augmented generative transformer model for jurisprudential legal question. The main idea in the proposed architecture is the leverage of both state-of-the art transformer models, and the existing knowledge base of legal sources and question-answers. With the sensitivity of the domain in mind, due to its importance in Muslims daily lives, our design balances between exploitation of knowledge bases, and exploration provided by the generative transformer models. We collect a custom data set of 850,000 entries, that includes the question, answer, and category of the question. Our evaluation methodology is based on both quantitative and qualitative methods. We use metrics like BERTScore and METEOR to evaluate the precision and recall of the system. We also provide many qualitative results that show the quality of the generated answers, and how relevant they are to the asked questions.

최근 언어 모델(Language model)의 기술이 발전함에 따라, 자연어처리 분야의 많은 연구들이 좋은 성능을 내고 있다. 정해진 주제 없이 인간과 잡담을 나눌 수 있는 오픈 도메인 대화 시스템(Open-domain dialogue system) 분야에서 역시 이전보다 더 자연스러운 발화를 생성할 수 있게 되었다. 언어 모델의 발전은 응답 선택(Response selection) 분야에서도 모델이 맥락에 알맞은 답변을 선택하도록 하는 데 기여를 했다. 하지만, 대화 모델이 답변을 생성할 때 일관성 없는 답변을 만들거나, 구체적이지 않고 일반적인 답변만을 하는 문제가 대두되었다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 화자의 개인화된 정보에 기반한 대화인 페르소나(Persona) 대화 데이터 및 태스크가 연구되고 있다. 페르소나 대화 태스크에서는 화자마다 주어진 페르소나가 있고, 대화를 할 때 주어진 페르소나와 일관성이 있는 답변을 선택하거나 생성해야 한다. 이에 우리는 대용량의 코퍼스(Corpus)에 사전 학습(Pre-trained) 된 언어 모델을 활용하여 더 적절한 답변을 선택하는 페르소나 대화 시스템에 대하여 논의한다. 언어 모델 중 자기 회귀(Auto-regressive) 방식으로 모델링을 하는 GPT-2, DialoGPT와 오토인코더(Auto-encoder)를 이용한 BERT, 두 모델이 결합되어 있는 구조인 BART가 실험에 활용되었다. 이와 같이 본 논문에서는 여러 종류의 언어 모델을 페르소나 대화 태스크에 대해 비교 실험을 진행했고, 그 결과 Hits@1 점수에서 BERT가 가장 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study paper, we examine pre-trained language models used in Multi-Goal Conversational Recommender Systems (MG-CRS), comparing and analyzing their performances of various pre-trained language models. Specifically, we investigates the impact of the sizes of language models on the performance of MG-CRS. The study targets three types of language models - of BERT, GPT2, and BART, and measures and compares their accuracy in two tasks of 'type prediction' and 'topic prediction' on the MG-CRS dataset, DuRecDial 2.0. Experimental results show that all models demonstrated excellent performance in the type prediction task, but there were notable provide significant performance differences in performance depending on among the models or based on their sizes in the topic prediction task. Based on these findings, the study provides directions for improving the performance of MG-CRS.

This pilot study explores a method of extracting metadata values and descriptions from records using named entity recognition (NER), a technique in natural language processing (NLP), a subfield of artificial intelligence. The study focuses on handwritten records from the Guro Industrial Complex, produced during the 1960s and 1970s, comprising approximately 1,200 pages and 80,000 words. After the preprocessing process of the records, which included digitization, the study employed a publicly available language API based on Google's Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) language model to recognize entity names within the text. As a result, 173 names of people and 314 of organizations and institutions were extracted from the Guro Industrial Complex's past records. These extracted entities are expected to serve as direct search terms for accessing the contents of the records. Furthermore, the study identified challenges that arose when applying the theoretical methodology of NLP to real-world records consisting of semistructured text. It also presents potential solutions and implications to consider when addressing these issues.

Generative AI has recently been utilized across all fields, achieving expert-level advancements in deep data analysis. However, identifying regional names in scientific literature remains a challenge due to insufficient training data and limited AI application. This study developed a standardized dataset for effectively classifying regional names using address data from Korean institution-affiliated authors listed in the Web of Science. It tested and evaluated the applicability of machine learning and deep learning models in real-world problems. The BERT model showed superior performance, with a precision of 98.41%, recall of 98.2%, and F1 score of 98.31% for metropolitan areas, and a precision of 91.79%, recall of 88.32%, and F1 score of 89.54% for city classifications. These findings offer a valuable data foundation for future research on regional R&D status, researcher mobility, collaboration status, and so on.

In general, social problem-solving research aims to create important social value by offering meaningful answers to various social pending issues using scientific technologies. Not surprisingly, however, although numerous and extensive research attempts have been made to alleviate the social problems and issues in nation-wide, we still have many important social challenges and works to be done. In order to facilitate the entire process of the social problem-solving research and maximize its efficacy, it is vital to clearly identify and grasp the important and pressing problems to be focused upon. It is understandable for the problem discovery step to be drastically improved if current social issues can be automatically identified from existing R&D resources such as technical reports and articles. This paper introduces a comprehensive dataset which is essential to build a machine learning model for automatically detecting the social problems and solutions in various national research reports. Initially, we collected a total of 700 research reports regarding social problems and issues. Through intensive annotation process, we built totally 24,022 sentences each of which possesses its own category or label closely related to social problem-solving such as problems, purposes, solutions, effects and so on. Furthermore, we implemented four sentence classification models based on various neural language models and conducted a series of performance experiments using our dataset. As a result of the experiment, the model fine-tuned to the KLUE-BERT pre-trained language model showed the best performance with an accuracy of 75.853% and an F1 score of 63.503%.

Historical data from comparable projects can serve as benchmarking data for an ongoing project's planning during the project scoping phase. As project owners typically store substantial amounts of data generated throughout project life cycles in digitized databases, they can capture appropriate data to support various project planning activities by accessing digital databases. One of the most important work tasks in this process is identifying one or more past projects comparable to a new project. The uniqueness and complexity of construction projects along with unorganized data, impede the reliable identification of comparable past projects. A project scope document provides the preliminary overview of a project in terms of the extent of the project and project requirements. However, narratives and free-formatted descriptions of project scopes are a significant and time-consuming barrier if a human needs to review them and determine similar projects. This study proposes an Artificial Intelligence-driven model for analyzing project scope descriptions and evaluating project similarity using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. The proposed algorithm can intelligently a) extract major work activities from unstructured descriptions held in a database and b) quantify similarities by considering the semantic features of texts representing work activities. The proposed model enhances historical comparable project identification by systematically analyzing project scopes.

The existing model for sentiment analysis of product reviews learned from past data and new data was labeled based on training. But new data was never used by the existing system for making a decision. The proposed Aspect-based multi-agent Deep Reinforcement learning Sentiment Analysis (ADRSA) model learned from its very first data without the help of any training dataset and labeled a sentence with aspect category and sentiment polarity. It keeps on learning from the new data and updates its knowledge for improving its intelligence. The decision of the proposed system changed over time based on the new data. So, the accuracy of the sentiment analysis using deep reinforcement learning was improved over supervised learning and unsupervised learning methods. Hence, the sentiments of premium customers on a particular site can be explored to other customers effectively. A dynamic environment with a strong knowledge base can help the system to remember the sentences and usage State Action Reward State Action (SARSA) algorithm with Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model improved the performance of the proposed system in terms of accuracy when compared to the state of art methods.
