As Korean literature spreads around the world, its position in the overseas publishing market has become important. As demand in the overseas publishing market continues to grow, it is essential to predict future book sales and analyze the characteristics of books that have been highly favored by overseas readers in the past. In this study, we proposed ensemble learning based prediction model and analyzed characteristics of the cumulative sales of more than 5,000 copies classified as good sellers published overseas over the past 5 years. We applied the five ensemble learning models, i.e., XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, Adaboost, LightGBM, and Random Forest, and compared them with other machine learning algorithms, i.e., Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, and Deep Learning. Our experimental results showed that the ensemble algorithm outperforms other approaches in troubleshooting imbalanced data. In particular, the LightGBM model obtained an AUC value of 99.86% which is the best prediction performance. Among the features used for prediction, the most important feature is the author's number of overseas publications, and the second important feature is publication in countries with the largest publication market size. The number of evaluation participants is also an important feature. In addition, text mining was performed on the four book reviews that sold the most among good-selling books. Many reviews were interested in stories, characters, and writers and it seems that support for translation is needed as many of the keywords of "translation" appear in low-rated reviews.

한국 문학이 세계로 뻗어나감에 따라 해외 시장에서 자리를 잡는 것이 중요해진 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 2016 년도부터 2020 년도까지 최근 5 년간 해외 출간된 도서들 중에서 굿셀러로 분류되는 누적 5 천부 이상 판매 여부를 예측하고자 했다. 굿셀러로 분류되는 도서는 전체 번역 도서 중 적은 비율을 차지하여 데이터 불균형이 발생하였으며, 본 연구에서는 SMOTE 기법과 앙상블 알고리즘을 적용하여 데이터 불균형 문제를 해결하였다. 그 결과, 데이터 클래스 비율이 1:1 에 가까울수록 성능 개선 효과가 나타났으며 LightGBM 모델이 99.83%의 AUC 값을 얻어 다른 앙상블 알고리즘에 비해 가장 좋은 예측 성능을 보임을 검증하였다. 또한 누적 5 천부 이상 판매 여부 예측에 있어 큰 영향을 미치는 변수로는 작가가 가장 중요한 요인으로 나타났으며 출간 국가, 그리고 평점 평균, 평점 참여자 수 같은 온라인 요인도 판매 예측에 유의미한 변수로 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
