It is indispensable for the marine officers who are engaged in the international voyage to make command of maritime English fluently. The Marine Officers Act in Korea which is under ammending in 1989 prescribes the proportion of maritime Englishin English examination is made to be 60% for the 4th and 5th class marine officer-license examination. A concrete syllabus or content of maritime English is not established yet with the exception of a general prescription of minimun knowledge required for certification of marine officers in the IMO/STCW Convention. The authors, who rewrote the maritime English textbook for the course of the fisheries high, schools and the merchant marine high schools, settled the syllabi of nautical English and marine engineering English for the course as follows : 1. The syllabus of nautical English, includes maritime English readings, the IMO English dialogue on port entry, writing of logbooks, night order books, and docking and repair specifications. 2. The syllabus of marine engineering English includes maritime English readings, dialogue on oil supply, writing of engine logbooks and oil record books, standing orders, and docking and repair specifications. The authors propose that the realm of these class marine officer-license examination on maritime English should be limited within in the above mentioned textbook. As maritime English is made to be included in the 4th and 5th marine officer liscence examination since 1989, high schools concerned need to reform the curricula to complete at least 6 units for this subject. On the other hand, the competent authority of this examination must secure questions as much as possible to promote the reliability of them.

In dialogues, speakers' intentions can be represented by sets of an emotion, a speech act, and a predicator. Therefore, dialogue systems should capture and process these implied characteristics of utterances. Many previous studies have considered such determination as independent classification problems, but others have showed them to be associated with each other. In this paper, we propose an integrated model that simultaneously determines emotions, speech acts, and predicators using a convolution neural network. The proposed model consists of a particular abstraction layer, mutually independent informations of these characteristics are abstracted. In the shared abstraction layer, combinations of the independent information is abstracted. During training, errors of emotions, errors of speech acts, and errors of predicators are partially back-propagated through the layers. In the experiments, the proposed integrated model showed better performances (2%p in emotion determination, 11%p in speech act determination, and 3%p in predicator determination) than independent determination models.

대화체는 문어체와는 달리 화자와 청자 사이의 질의/응답으로 이루어진 형태의 문장들을 가지며, 생략과 대용어가 빈번히 발생하는 특징을 갖는다. 이러한 대화 형태에서 어떠한 한 문장에는 화자가 전달하고자 하는 의도를 포함하고 있다. 이러한 대화체 문장들을 번역하는 것은 단순한 언어적 분석에 의한 번역으로서는 많은 번역상의 오류가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 대화체 문장들의 올바른 번역을 위해서는 대화의 상황을 반영하는 문맥 정보가 부가적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문맥 정보로서 화행을 사용하여 대화체 기계번역을 수행하고자 한다. 화행(Speech Act)이란 화자에 의해 의도되어 발화 속에 포함된 언어적 행위를 나타내며, 이러한 화행을 분석함으로써 화자의 의도를 파악하고 이를 통해 올바른 번역을 수행할 수 있게 된다. 본 기계번역 시스템에 포함된 화행 분석 과정에서는 대화를 화행으로 모델링한 담화 문법과 유사한 형태의 재귀적 대화 전이망(Recursive Dialog Transition Network)을 사용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 호텔 예약 영역에서의 기계번역 시스템에 대한 간단한 소개와 화행의 종류 및 분석 방법과 이를 통한 기계번역 방식에 대해 살펴보도록 하겠다.

목적 지향 대화 시스템은 사용자가 원하는 목적을 달성하기 위해 사용하는 시스템으로 일상 대화와 다르게 시스템이 정보를 명확히 전달하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 최근 연구에서 목적 지향 대화 시스템을 위한 자연어 생성 모델은 정해진 대화 정책에 따라 알맞은 응답을 생성할 수 있도록 의도와 슬롯 정보를 담은 대화 행위(Dialog Act)를 활용한다. 하지만 대화 행위는 생성하는 문장을 탁월하게 제어하는 반면에 대화의 흐름과 상황에 맞게 다양한 문장을 생성하기 어렵다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하고자 본 논문에서는 목적에 부합하는 내용을 명확하게 자연어로 생성하기 위해 대화 행위를 사용하면서 동시에 일상 대화 생성 모델과 같이 문맥을 고려하여 대화 흐름에 어울리는 자연스러운 문장을 생성할 수 있는 문맥 기반의 제어 가능한 자연어 생성 모델을 제안한다. 실험에서는 KoGPT2 사전 학습 모델과 한국어 대화 데이터셋을 사용하였으며 실험을 통해 대화 행위 기반의 자연어 생성 모델과 본 연구에서 제안한 문맥 기반의 제어 가능한 자연어 생성 모델을 비교하였다. 결과적으로 대화 행위를 단독으로 학습한 모델보다 일정 문맥을 함께 학습한 모델이 유의미한 BLEU 점수 향상을 보인다는 점을 확인하였다.

서비스 로봇과 펫 로봇 등 사람과 직접 상호작용하는 로봇기술의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 대화시스템은 자연언어처리 기술을 활용하여 음성인식 기술과의 결합을 통해 현재 로봇에서 주로 사용되고 있는 버튼과 터치스크린 위주의 HRI(Human-Robot Interface)보다 자연스러운 HRI를 제공한다. 이러한 자연스러운 HRI를 수행할 수 있는 로봇을 구성하기 위해서는 로봇이 서비스를 제공할 실제 영역에 맞는 대화시스템의 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 자질사전, 단일화 문법(unification grammar), 대화 흐름도(dialogue flow diagram)를 사용한 레스토랑 영역의 자질기반(feature-based) 대화시스템을 제시한다. 자질 정보는 형태소, 시제, 어휘의 의미구조 등을 나타내며 화행(speech act) 결정에 사용하고 문장 자질과 구문 자질을 파서에서 활용한다. 자질기반 대화시스템을 통하여 레스토랑 영역에서 사용자 화행 이해 및 주문, 안내 등의 서비스를 성공적으로 수행할 수 있음을 보인다.

As the amount of information on Internet sites increases, it becomes more necessary to provide information in efficient ways. However, information search methods based on Boolean combination of keywords that most sites provide are difficult to express user's intention adequately so that there are numerous unexpected search results. This paper proposes a conversational agent that provides users with accurate information in a friendly manner through natural language conversation. The agent recognizes user's intention by applying finite state automata to natural language queries, utilizes the intention for structured pattern matching with response knowledge, and thus provides answers that are robust against changes in word order and consistent with the user's intention. To show its practical utility, the agent is applied to the problem of introducing a Web site. The results show that the conversational agent has the ability to provide accurate and friendly responses.

Comics are a genre that convey meaning through compositional arrangements of dialogue and images as well as through the flow of panels across a page. Communicating that meaning to readers through a combination of language and visual lexicons is the essential process of drawing comics, a process that in itself is significant. The semiotics of comics is a field of scholarship grounded in the broader discipline of semiotic theory in which all the components of comics, both visual and verbal, are the subject of study and research. By adopting a semiotic approach we are able to objectively analyze and understand the symbolic, social and ideological meanings embedded in the signs and sign processes expressed in comics. The fundamental pedagogical mission of teaching comics is to cultivate human nature through the study of theory as well as through the production and completion of original works that explore new modes of expression. To go further, interpreting those embedded meanings in the context of comics fosters effective and creative skills of expression that go beyond a mere fascination for the genre itself. In short, because the semiotic approach to understanding visual communication is the essence teaching comics, we can expect that the act of reading and creating comics plays a significant role in understanding visual communication.

Daesoon Jinrihoe makes use of The Canonical Scripture as the main body to explain their thinking regarding divine beings and humankind as it relates to doctrine, sacredness, religiousness and other such contents. The traditional meaning of divine beings and humankind through the interpretation of The Canonical Scripture, transcends ethics, tradition, sociality, and the ultimate concern of secularity. The analysis from the perspective of The Canonical Scripture can help readers to understand the purpose of Daesoon Jinrihoe's implementation of its policies and their future direction. The local church takes the Bible as its main body and connects God with man as an implantation of divine life and temperament that harmonizes itself with human life and nature. The divine life is constantly reconciled with one's human life to make one a holy person, or a humanistic diviner. This is the rationale of the 'God-Man,' those whose human lives become lives of God-men. This style of living enables divine nature to mingle with human nature as an explicit behavioral act, mode of character development, and lifestyle. Therefore, the expression "the Blending of God and man" is an interpretation of the relationship between God and man which focuses on their sacred connection. Engagement in this extends to the scope of the local church. The different divisions between Daesoon Jinrihoe and the local church appear on the basis of things such as history, culture, language, and religion, but both posit a theology of "Harmonious Union between Divine Beings and Human Beings" and "the Blending of God and man" according to a transcendent interpretation of God and man. Through dialogue, they can discover similarities and differences in this shared notion with both systems of theological thought.

After Canada has struggled with a radioactive waste problem over for 20 years, the Canadian government finally found out that its approach by far has been lack of social acceptance, and needed a program such as public and stakeholder engagement (PSE) which involves the public in decision-making process. Therefore, the government made a special law, called Nuclear Fuel Waste Act (NFWA), to search for an appropriate nuclear waste management approach. NFWA laid out three possible approaches which were already prepared in advance by a nuclear expert group, and required Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) to be established to report a recommendation as to which of the proposed approaches should be adopted. However, NFWA allowed NWMO to consider additional management approach if the other three were not acceptable enough. Thus, NWMO studied and created a fourth management approach after it had undertaken an comparison of the benefits, risks and costs of each management approach: Adaptive Phased Management. This approach was intended to enable the implementers to accept any technological advancement or changes even in the middle of the implementation of the plan. The Canadian PSE case well shows that technological R&D are deeply connected with social acceptance. Even though the developments and technological advancement are carried out by the scientists and experts, but it is important to collect the public opinion by involving them to the decision-making process in order to achieve objective validity on the R&D programs. Moreover, in an effort to ensure the principles such as fairness, public health and safety, security, and adoptability, NWMO tried to make those abstract ideas more specific and help the public understand the meaning of each concept more in detail. Also, they utilized a variety of communication methods from face-to-face meeting to e-dialogue to encourage people to participate in the program as much as possible. Given the fact that Korea has been also having a hard time in dealing with spent nuclear fuel management, all of these efforts that Canada has made with a PSE program would give good lessons and implications to the Korean case. In conclusion, as a deliberative participation program, PSE could be a possible breakthrough approach for the Korean spent nuclear fuel management.

Developed nations are increasingly seeking to secure competitiveness in the international market through the development of human resources of workers in high value-added industries. And what is especially important in this process is the fact that workers, employers, and concerned government agencies are participating together in building and improving workers' skills through partnerships. This is based on the perception that workers training programs conducted according to the interest of one side are difficult to bring desired results. For the past decades, Korea has focused mostly on labor-management-government partnerships and strategies for developing the human resources of workers in developed nations in Europe. Related case studies show labor-management-government partnerships in European countries established through powerful trade unions, and interested parties actively cooperate and participate in employment and training programs that benefit both workers and employers. In contrast, studies on human resource development participated by workers and employers are relatively rare in the US, the reason being the lack of a mechanism for establishing labor-management-government partnership due to the country's strong tradition of decentralization and the emphasis on market principles. However, while it is difficult to find such channels for dialogue between workers, employers, and the government in th US on the federal level, there are many regional-level or industry-level programs that tackle common problems through partnerships between interested parties. This study analyzes how the regional labor-management-government partnerships in the US work and examines the types of programs operated by investigating the One-Stop Center based on the Workforce Investment Act and the Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership. While the One-Stop Center is a regional labor-management-government partnership model that is institutionally executed in each state according to the Workforce Investment Act, the WRTP is a regional labor-management -government partnership model led by the private sector. The two examples are introduced in the OECD as best practice examples of regional partnerships, and are key references to Korea's current human resource development policy.
