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.

Target word selection is one of the most important and difficult tasks in English-Korean Machine Translation. It effects on the translation accuracy of machine translation systems. In this paper, we present a new approach to select Korean target word for an English noun with translation ambiguities using multiple knowledge such as verb frame patterns, sense vectors based on collocations, statistical Korean local context information and co-occurring POS information. Verb frame patterns constructed with dictionary and corpus play an important role in resolving the sparseness problem of collocation data. Sense vectors are a set of collocation data when an English word having target selection ambiguities is to be translated to specific Korean target word. Statistical Korean local context Information is an N-gram information generated using Korean corpus. The co-occurring POS information is a statistically significant POS clue which appears with ambiguous word. The experiment showed promising results for diverse sentences from web documents.

본 논문은 1999년도에 구축된 '150만 세종 형태소 분석 말뭉치'를 바탕으로 형태소 기분석 사전을 구축하고, 이를 토대로 후처리의 수작업을 고려한 반자동 태거를 구축하는 방법론에 대해 연구한 것이다. 분석말뭉치 구축에 있어 기존 자동 태거에 의한 자동 태깅의 문제점을 분석하고, 이미 구축된 형태분석 말뭉치를 이용해 후처리 작업이 보다 용이한 1차 가공말뭉치를 구축하는 반자동 태거의 개발과 그 방법론을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이와 같은 논의에 따라 분석 말뭉치의 구축을 위한 태거는 일반적인 언어 처리를 위한 태거와는 다르다는 점을 주장하였고, 태거에 전적으로 의존하는 태깅 방식보다는 수작업의 편의를 제공할 수 있는 태깅 방식이 필요함을 강조하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 반자동 태거는 전체적인 태깅 성공률과 정확도가 기존의 태거에 비해 떨어지지만 정확한 단일 분석 결과를 텍스트의 장르에 따른 편차 없이 50% 이상으로 산출하고, 해결이 어려운 어절 유형에 대해서 완전히 작업자의 판단에 맡김으로써 오류의 가능성을 줄인다. 또한 분석 어절에 대해 여러 표지를 부착함으로써 체계적이고 단계적인 후처리 작업이 가능하도록 하였다.

This paper a framework and method for resolving word sense disambiguation and present the results. In this work, WordNet is used for two different purposes: one as a dictionary and the other as an ontology, containing the hierarchical structure, representing hypernym-hyponym relations. The advantage of this approach is twofold. First, it provides a very simple method that is easily implemented. Second, we do not suffer from the lack of large corpus data which would have been necessary in a statistical method. In the future this can be extended to incorporate other relations, such as synonyms, meronyms, and antonyms.

Semantic information and features are very important for Semantic Role Labeling(SRL) though many SRL systems based on machine learning mainly adopt lexical and syntactic features. Previous SRL research based on semantic information is very few because using semantic information is very restricted. We proposed the SRL system which adopts semantic information, such as named entity, word sense disambiguation, filtering adjunct role based on sense, synonym cluster, frame extension based on synonym dictionary and joint rule of syntactic-semantic information, and modified verb-specific numbered roles, etc. According to our experimentations, the proposed present method outperforms those of lexical-syntactic based research works by about 3.77 (Korean Propbank) to 8.05 (Exobrain Corpus) F1-scores.

In this paper, we propose a rule-based model to correct errors in a speech recognition result in the mobile device environment. The proposed model considers the mobile device environment with limited resources such as processing time and memory, as follows. In order to minimize the error correction processing time, the proposed model removes some processing steps such as morphological analysis and the composition and decomposition of syllable. Also, the proposed model utilizes the longest match rule selection method to generate one error correction candidate per point, assumed that an error occurs. For the purpose of deploying memory resource, the proposed model uses neither the Eojeol dictionary nor the morphological analyzer, and stores a combined rule list without any classification. Considering the modification and maintenance of the proposed model, the error correction rules are automatically extracted from a training corpus. Experimental results show that the proposed model improves 5.27% on the precision and 5.60% on the recall based on Eojoel unit for the speech recognition result.

Word Sense Disambiguation(WSD) is one of the most difficult problem in Korean information processing. We propose a WSD model with the capability to filter semantic information using the specific characteristics in dictionary dictions, and nth added information, useful to sense determination, such as statistical, distance and case information. we propose a model, which can resolve the issues resulting from the scarcity of semantic information data based on the word hierarchy system (thesaurus) developed by Ulsan University's UOU Word Intelligent Network, a dictionary-based toxicological database. Among the WSD models elaborated by this study, the one using statistical information, distance and case information along with the thesaurus (hereinafter referred to as 'SDJ-X model') performed the best. In an experiment conducted on the sense-tagged corpus consisting of 1,500,000 eojeols, provided by the Sejong project, the SDJ-X model recorded improvements over the maximum frequency word sense determination (maximum frequency determination, MFC, accuracy baseline) of $18.87\%$ ($21.73\%$ for nouns and inter-eojeot distance weights by $10.49\%$ ($8.84\%$ for nouns, $11.51\%$ for verbs). Finally, the accuracy level of the SDJ-X model was higher than that recorded by the model using only statistical information, distance and case information, without the thesaurus by a margin of $6.12\%$ ($5.29\%$ for nouns, $6.64\%$ for verbs).

This paper presents an ontology construction method using various computational language resources, and an ontology-based word sense disambiguation method. In order to acquire a reasonably practical ontology the Kadokawa thesaurus is extended by inserting additional semantic relations into its hierarchy, which are classified as case relations and other semantic relations. To apply the ontology to disambiguate word senses, we apply the previously-secured dictionary information to select the correct senses of some ambiguous words with high precision, and then use the ontology to disambiguate the remaining ambiguous words. The mutual information between concepts in the ontology was calculated before using the ontology as knowledge for disambiguating word senses. If mutual information is regarded as a weight between ontology concepts, the ontology can be treated as a graph with weighted edges, and then we locate the weighted path from one concept to the other concept. In our practical machine translation system, our word sense disambiguation method achieved a 9% improvement over methods which do not use ontology for Korean translation.

This paper presents the performance enhancement of automatic bilingual lexicon extraction by using refinement of pivot-context vectors under the standard pivot-based approach, which is very effective method for less-resource language pairs. In this paper, we gradually improve the performance through two different refinements of pivot-context vectors: One is to filter out unhelpful elements of the pivot-context vectors and to revise the values of the vectors through bidirectional translation probabilities estimated by Anymalign and another one is to remove non-noun elements from the original vectors. In this paper, experiments have been conducted on two different language pairs that are bi-directional Korean-Spanish and Korean-French, respectively. The experimental results have demonstrated that our method for high-frequency words shows at least 48.5% at the top 1 and up to 88.5% at the top 20 and for the low-frequency words at least 43.3% at the top 1 and up to 48.9% at the top 20.

Internet users purchase goods on the Internet and express their positive or negative emotions of the goods in product reviews. Analysis of the product reviews become critical data to both potential consumers and to the decision making of enterprises. Therefore, the importance of opinion mining techniques which derive opinions by analyzing meaningful data from large numbers of Internet reviews. Existing studies were mostly based on comments written in English, yet analysis in Korean has not actively been done. Unlike English, Korean has characteristics of complex adjectives and suffixes. Existing studies did not consider the characteristics of the Internet language. This study proposes an emotional classification method which increases the accuracy of emotional classification by analyzing the characteristics of the Internet language connoting feelings. We can classify positive and negative comments about products automatically using the Internet emoticon. Also we can check the validity of the proposed algorithm through the result of high precision, recall and coverage for the evaluation of this method.
