In laser pointer interaction systems, laser spot detection is one of the most important technologies, and most of the challenges in this area are related to the varying backgrounds, and the real-time performance of the interaction system. In this paper, we present a robust dictionary construction and update algorithm based on a sparse model of background subtraction. In order to control dynamic backgrounds, first, we determine whether there is a change in the backgrounds; if this is true, the new background can be directly added to the dictionary configurations; otherwise, we run an online cumulative average on the backgrounds to update the dictionary. The proposed dictionary construction and update algorithm for laser spot detection, is robust to the varying backgrounds and noises, and can be implemented in real time. A large number of experimental results have confirmed the superior performance of the proposed method in terms of the detection error and real-time implementation.

Collecting terms in thesaurus construction work is the most difficult. A dictionary is thesaurus can be used as an excellent term acquisition. Reflect faithfully the provisions of Korean literary "Standard Korean Dictionary" is a standard dictionary of the Korea. The "Standard Korean Dictionary" is simply the definition of entry, as well as a wide range of information about the term because it contains a systematic, it can be used to build a thesaurus. In this study, the "Standard Korean Dictionary" has the relevant information using a variety of terms, it is defined as the thesaurus term relationship. In addition, the separation of the term, equal relationships and hierarchical set of relationships, the use of qualifiers, North Korean issues, the issue presented in thesaurus construction, and suggest ways to solve the problem.

To improve the efficiency of business, it is important to standardize the meaning of terminology. And then, terminology dictionaries have been actively being built and used in various fields. In defense area, the publication of defense terminology dictionary is useful for information exchange of each army and distribution of standardized terminology. Defense agency for technology and quality(DTaQ) publishes terminology dictionary of defense science and technology on a three-year cycle. DTaQ tries to standardize the construction process of terminology dictionary and improve service efficiency by using terminology dictionary in defense area. This proposed method is based on the result of previous study about standardization of terminology dictionary. We suggest the practical steps including terminology dictionary constructing process, composition and role of organization, definition of headword, selection of target documents to be extracted terminology candidate, terminology extraction, generation of terminology candidate group, workbench registration, construction and validation of terminology dictionary. Thesaurus and workbench are developed to use and support terminology dictionary effectively.

In this paper, we propose a method of automatically constructing a dictionary by extracting unknown words from given eojeols in order to improve the performance of a Korean morphological analyzer. The proposed method is composed of a dictionary construction phase based on full text analysis and a dictionary construction phase based on web document frequency. The first phase recognizes unknown words from strings repeatedly occurred in a given full text while the second phase recognizes unknown words based on frequency of retrieving each string, once occurred in the text, from web documents. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves 32.39% recall by utilizing web document frequency compared with a previous method.

A bilingual sound dictionary in Korean and English has been created for a broad range of sound reference to cross-linguistic, dialectal, native language (L1)-transferred biological and allophonic variations. The paper demonstrates that the pronunciation dictionary of the lexicon is inadequate for sound reference due to the preponderance of unmarked sounds. The audio registry consists of the three-way comparison of 1) English speech from native English speakers, 2) Korean speech from Korean speakers, and 3) English speech from Korean speakers. Several sub-dictionaries have been created as the foundation research for independent development. They are 1) a pronunciation dictionary of the Korean lexicon in a keyboard-compatible phonetic transcription, 2) a sound dictionary of L1-interfered language, and 3) an audible dictionary of Korean sounds. The dictionary was designed to facilitate the exchange of the speech signal and its corresponding text data on various media particularly on CD-ROM. The methodology and findings of the construction are discussed.

Korean Text to Sign Language Traslator could be applied to learn letters for both the deaf and hard-of-hearing people, and to have a conversation with normal people. This paper describes some useful dictionaries for developing korean text to sign language translator; Base sign language dictionary, Compound sign language dictionary, and Resemble sign language dictionary. As korean sign language is composed entirely of about 6,000 words, the additional dictionaries are required for matching them to korean written language. We design base sign language dictionary which was composed of basic symbols and moving picture of korean sign language, and propose the definition of compound isng language dictionary which was composed of symbols of base sing language. In addition, resemble sign language dictionary offer sign symbols and letters which is used same meaning in conversation. By using these methods, we could search quickly sign language during korean text to sign language translating process, and save storage space. We could also solve the lack of sign language words by using them, which are appeared on translating process.

Ontology is an indispensable component in intelligent and semantic processing of knowledge and information, such as in semantic web. However, ontology construction requires vast amount of data collection and arduous efforts in processing these un-structured data. This study proposed a methodology to automatically construct and generate ontologies from Sejong Electronic Dictionary. As Sejong Electronic Dictionary is structured in XML format, it can be processed automatically by computer programmed tools into an OWL(Web Ontology Language)-based ontologies as specified in W3C . This paper presents the process and concrete application of this methodology.

This research aims at transforming the definition tort of an English-English-Korean Dictionary (EEKD) which is encoded in EST files for the purpose of publishing into a structured format for Lexical Data Base (LDB). The construction of LDB is very time-consuming and expensive work. In order to save time and efforts in building new lexical information, the present study tries to extract useful linguistic information from an existing printed dictionary. In this paper, the process of extraction and structuring of lexical information from a printed dictionary (EEKD) as a lexical resource is described. The extracted information is represented in XML format, which can be transformed into another representation for different application requirements.

Sentiment lexicon is an essential element for expressing sentiment on a text or recognizing sentiment from a text. We propose a graph-based semi-supervised learning method to construct a sentiment dictionary as sentiment lexicon set. In particular, we focus on the construction of domain-specific sentiment dictionary. The proposed method makes up a graph according to lexicons and proximity among lexicons, and sentiments of some lexicons which already know their sentiment values are propagated throughout all of the lexicons on the graph. There are two typical types of the sentiment lexicon, sentiment words and sentiment phrase, and we construct a sentiment dictionary by creating each graph of them and infer sentiment of all sentiment lexicons. In order to verify our proposed method, we constructed a sentiment dictionary specific to the movie domain, and conducted sentiment classification experiments with it. As a result, it have been shown that the classification performance using the sentiment dictionary is better than the other using typical general-purpose sentiment dictionary.

A named entity(NE) dictionary is an important resource for the performance of NE recognition. However, it is not easy to construct a NE dictionary manually since human annotation is time consuming and labor-intensive. To save construction time and reduce human labor, we propose a semi-automatic system for the construction of a NE dictionary. The proposed system constructs a pseudo-document with Wiki-categories per NE class by using an active learning technique. Then, it calculates similarities between Wiki entries and pseudo-documents using the BM25 model, a well-known information retrieval model. Finally, it classifies each Wiki entry into NE classes based on similarities. In experiments with three different types of NE class sets, the proposed system showed high performance(macro-average F1-score of 0.9028 and micro-average F1-score 0.9554).
