Despite the rise of studies in spoken to sign language translation, low-resource problems of sign language corpus have been rarely addressed. As a first step towards translating from spoken to sign language, we addressed the problems arising from resource scarcity when translating spoken language to manual signals translation using statistical machine translation techniques. More specifically, we proposed three preprocessing methods: 1) paraphrase generation, which increases the size of the corpora, 2) lemmatization, which increases the frequency of each word in the corpora and the translatability of new input words in spoken language, and 3) elimination of function words that are not glossed into manual signals, which match the corresponding constituents of the bilingual sentence pairs. In our experiments, we used different types of English-American sign language parallel corpora. The experimental results showed that the system with each method and the combination of the methods improved the quality of manual signals translation, regardless of the type of the corpora.

Application of chunking to English and some other European languages has shown that it is a viable parsing mechanism for natural languages. Although a small number of attempts have been made to apply chunking to the analysis of the Korean language, it still is not clear enough what criteria there are to identify appropriate units of chunking, and how efficient and valid the chunking algorithms would be when applied to some authentic Korean texts. The purpose of this research is to provide an alternative set of algorithms for chunking Korean, and to implement them, and to test them against some English-Korean parallel corpora, which is English and Korean bibles matched sentence by sentence. It is shown in the paper that aligning related texts and identifying matched phrases between the two languages can be achieved through appropriate chunking and matching algorithms defined on the morphologically-tagged parallel corpus. Chunking and matching processes are based on the content words rather than the function words, and the matching itself is done in terms of the transfer dictionary. The implementation is done in C and XML, and can be accessed through the Internet.

The purpose of this study is to present the task model that is the most effective in English language methodology based on the investigation of task-based performance in Korean EFL classroom practice. The subjects were 538 high school students and 126 high school teachers, each of whom had common experiences using the materials of task-based activities for more than one year. To analyze the data, the program SPSS WIN 11.0 including frequency distribution and chi-square analysis was used. The results of the questionnaire analysis showed that both teachers and students had a comparatively high level of satisfaction in task rationale, but that they had some mixed responses in the fields of input data, settings, and activity types. To conclude, a few suggestions are made to provide some meaningful considerations for the EFL teachers and material developers: a) task goals and rationale that encourage the learner's positive motivation; b) authenticity of input data based on the real-world context; c) collaborative learning environment that enhances communicative interaction; d) proportional representation of the creative problem-solving activities related to discussions and decision-making processes; e) systematic introduction of integrated language skills. It also suggests that the multi-lateral task model, which has some positive assets compared to previous task models, be newly introduced and applied to the second language learning classrooms.

In this study, we propose a new system for constructing parallel corpora for sign languages, which are generally under-resourced in comparison to spoken languages. In order to achieve scalability and accessibility regarding data collection and corpus construction, our system utilizes deep learning-based techniques and predicts depth information to perform pose estimation on hand information obtainable from video recordings by a single RGB camera. These estimated poses are then transcribed into expressions in SignWriting. We evaluate the accuracy of hand tracking and hand pose estimation modules of our system quantitatively, using the American Sign Language Image Dataset and the American Sign Language Lexicon Video Dataset. The evaluation results show that our transcription system has a high potential to be successfully employed in constructing a sizable sign language corpus using various types of video resources.

As IT technology improves, software is being more and more important. Industry demands higher level of programming ability from university graduates. As a result, programming related courses already take higher possession of electronics department curricula. But even though the environment likewise computer laboratory is improved as much, and professors have tried to enhance the quality of their lectures and educational results, still programming education does not match the demand of our society and industry. In this paper, we introduce the overview of programming education in electronics department, KUT and discuss problems in programming language education especially for the 1st year students, since programming education to the 1st year university students becomes one of the most important part as it deals with fundamentals on programming language and we suggest its improvement directions in regards with students, teaching materials, professors, class size, and class hours.

변형 규칙 기반 품사 태거는 태깅 규칙을 코퍼스로부터 자동 학습할 수 있고, 견고하며 태깅 결과를 이해하고 분석하기가 쉽다는 장점을 갖는다. 이에 최근 한국어 특성을 고려한 변형 규칙 기반 한국어 품사 태거가 개발되었다. 하지만 이 시스템은 오류 어절의 어휘 정보를 사용하지 않으므로 수정 가능 오류에 대한 변형 규칙이 제대로 학습되지 못하며, 변형 규칙 적용 과정에 새로운 오류를 발생시킨다는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 논문은 오류 어절의 어휘 정보를 참조할 수 있는 세부변형 규칙 추출을 이용한 변형 규칙 기반 한국어 품사 태거의 개선 방안을 제안한다. 어휘 정보를 참조할 수 있는 세부 변형 규칙의 형태는 특정 문맥 C에서 어절 W의 어절 태그 ${\alpha}$를 어절 태그 ${\beta}$로 변형한다와 같다. 제안된 방법은 약 10만 어절 크기의 학습 코퍼스에서 57개의 세부 규칙을 학습하였고, 2만 어절 크기의 실험코퍼스에 적용한 결과 95.6%의 정확도를 보임으로써 기존의 변형 규칙 기반 품사 태거의 정확도를 약 15.4% 향상시켰다.

대규모 언어 모델(Large Language Models, LLM)의 발전과 더불어 대량의 학습 데이터로부터 기인한 LLM의 편향성에 관심이 집중하고 있다. 최근 선행 연구들에서는 LLM이 이러한 경향성을 탈피하고 다양한 언어 패턴을 생성하게 하기 위하여 LLM에 여러가지 페르소나를 부여하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 일부에서는 사람의 성격을 설명하는 성격 5 요인 이론(Big 5)을 이용하여 LLM에 다양한 성격 특성을 가진 페르소나를 부여하는 방법을 제안하였고, 페르소나 간의 성격의 차이가 다양한 양상의 언어 사용 패턴을 이끌어낼 수 있음을 보였다. 그러나 제한된 횟수의 입력만으로 목표하는 성격의 페르소나를 생성하려 한 기존 연구들은 세밀히 서로 다른 성격을 가진 페르소나를 생성하는 데에 한계가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 페르소나 부여 과정에서 피드백을 반복하여 제공함으로써 세세한 성격의 차이를 가진 페르소나를 생성하는 방법론을 제안한다. 본 연구의 실험과 분석을 통해, 제안하는 방법론으로 형성된 성격 페르소나가 다양한 언어 패턴을 효과적으로 만들어 낼 수 있음을 확인했다.

Recently, a variety of AI-based platform services are available, and one of them is ChatGPT that processes a large quantity of data in the natural language and generates an answer after self-learning. ChatGPT can perform various tasks including software programming in the IT sector. Particularly, it may help generate a simple program and correct errors using C Language, which is a major programming language. Accordingly, it is expected that ChatGPT is capable of effectively using Verilog HDL, which is a hardware language created in C Language. Verilog HDL synthesis, however, is to generate imperative sentences in a logical circuit form and thus it needs to be verified whether the products are executed properly. In this paper, we aim to select small-scale logical circuits for ease of experimentation and to verify the results of circuits generated by ChatGPT and human-designed circuits. As to experimental environments, Xilinx ISE 14.7 was used for module modeling, and the xc3s1000 FPGA chip was used for module embodiment. Comparative analysis was performed on the use area and processing time of FPGA to compare the performance of ChatGPT products and Verilog HDL products.

cQA(Community-based Question Answering) 시스템은 온라인 커뮤니티를 통해 사용자들이 질문을 남기고 답변을 작성할 수 있도록 만들어진 시스템이다. 신규 질문이 인입되면, 기존에 축적된 cQA 저장소에서 해당 질문과 가장 유사한 질문을 검색하고, 그 질문에 대한 답변을 신규 질문에 대한 답변으로 대체할 수 있다. 하지만, 키워드 매칭을 사용하는 전통적인 검색 방식으로는 문장에 내재된 의미들을 이용할 수 없다는 한계가 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해서는 의미적으로 동일한 문장들로 학습이 되어야 하지만, 이러한 데이터를 대량으로 확보하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 질문이 제목과 내용으로 분리되어 있는 대량의 cQA 셋에서, 질문 제목과 내용을 의미 벡터 공간으로 사상하고 두 벡터의 상대적 거리가 가깝게 되도록 학습함으로써 의사(pseudo) 유사 의미의 성질을 내재화 하였다. 또한, 질문 제목과 내용의 의미 벡터 표현(representation)을 위하여, semi-training word embedding과 CNN(Convolutional Neural Network)을 이용한 딥러닝 기법을 제안하였다. 유사 질문 검색 실험 결과, 제안 모델을 이용한 검색이 키워드 매칭 기반 검색보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.
