This paper presents a set of methodologies for aligning hypernym-hyponym noun pairs between Korean and English, based on the EuroWordNet approach. Following the methods conducted in EuroWordNet, our approach makes extensive use of WordNet in four steps of the building process: 1) Monolingual dictionaries have been used to extract proper hypernym-hyponym noun pairs, 2) bilingual dictionary has converted the extracted pairs, 3) Word Net has been used as a backbone of alignment criteria, and 4) WordNet has been used to select the most similar pair among the candidates. The importance of this study lies not only on enriching semantic links between two languages, but also on integrating lexical resources based on a language specific and dependent structure. Our approaches are aimed at building an accurate and detailed lexical resource with proper measures rather than at fast development of generic one using NLP technique.

A concept hierarchy represents the knowledge with multi-level form, which is very useful to categorize, store and retrieve the data. Traditionally, a concept hierarchy has been built manually by domain experts. However, the manual construction of a concept hierarchy has caused many problems such as enormous development and maintenance costs and human errors such as inconsistency. This paper proposes the automatic creation of concept hierarchies using the predefined hypernym relation. To create the hierarchy automatically, we first eliminate the ambiguity of the senses of data values, and construct the hierarchy by grouping and leveling of the remaining senses. We use the WordNet explanations for multi-meaning word to eliminate the ambiguity and use the WordNet hypernym relations to create multi-level hierarchy structure.

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.

텍스트 애니메이션 시스템에서는 자연언어 단어로 표현된 개체들을 한정된 수의 애니메이션 모델로 나타낸다. 그러나 자연언어 단어의 수에 비해 기존의 모델DB에 있는 모델의 수가 훨씬 적은 것이 일반적이기 때문에 해당 단어에 대응되는 애니메이션 모델이 존재하지 않는 경우가 있게 된다. 이러한 경우, 해당 단어가 가지는 의미를 최대한 보존할 수 있는 대체 모델을 찾을 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문은 애니메이션에서 캐릭터 또는 사물로 표현되어야 하는 명사에 대해, 온톨로지에서 해당 명사와 상위(hypernym), 하위(hyponym), 부분(member meronymy) 관계에 있는 다른 단어를 탐색하여 적절한 모델을 찾는 방안을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 과학기술문서에 존재하는 기술용어와 이들 간의 연관관계를 설명하는 디스크립터를 찾아서 [subject predicate object] 형태의 트리플을 생성하는 애플리케이션을 개발할 때 발생하는 단어 의미 애매성 해소 문제를 다룬다. 기술용어가 가지고 있는 연관관계를 결정하기 위해서 워드넷의 신셋 정보를 사용하는데 이 방법은 동사를 워드넷에 매핑할 때와 상위어 관계로 전이할 때 여러 개의 의미에 매핑되는 문제점이 발생한다. 이것을 해결하기 위해서 상위어 시퀀스 클러스터링을 이용한 단어의 의미 애매성 해결 방안을 제시한다. 이 방법을 사용함으로써 워드넷 매핑과 상위어 전이 시에 발생하는 다중 매핑 문제를 동시에 해결할 수 있다.

The goal of this paper is to extract the hyponymy relation between words in the corpus. Adopting the basic algorithm of Hearst (1992), I propose a method of pattern-based extraction of semantic relations from the corpus. To this end, I set up a list of hypernym-hyponym pairs from Sejong Electronic Dictionary. This list is supplemented with the superordinate-subordinate terms of CoroNet. Then, I extracted all the sentences from the corpus that include hypemym-hyponym pairs of the list. From these extracted sentences, I collected all the sentences that contain meaningful constructions that occur systematically in the corpus. As a result, we could obtain 21 generalized patterns. Using the PERL program, we collected sentences of each of the 21 patterns. 57% of the sentences are turned out to have hyponymy relation. The proposed method in this paper is simpler and more advanced than that in Cederberg and Widdows (2003), in that using a word net or an electronic dictionary is generally considered to be efficient for information retrieval. The patterns extracted by this method are helpful when we look fer appropriate documents during information retrieval, and they are used to expand the concept networks like ontologies or thesauruses. However, the word order of Korean is relatively free and it is difficult to capture various expressions of a fired pattern. In the future, we should investigate more semantic relations than hyponymy, so that we can extract various patterns from the corpus.

A homonym could be disambiguated by anther words in the context such as nouns, predicates used with the homonym. This paper proposes a homonym disambiguation system based on statistical semantic information which is extracted from definitions in dictionary. The semantic information consists of nouns and predicates that are used with the homonym in definitions. In order to extract accurate semantic information, definitions are used with the homonym in definitions. In order to extract accurate semantic information, definitions are classified into two types. One has hyponym-hypernym relation between title word and head word (homonym) in definition. The hyponym-hypernym relation is one level semantic hierarchy and can be extended to deeper levels in order to overcome the problem of data sparseness. The other is the case that the homonym is used in the middle of definition. The system considers nouns and predicates simultaneously to disambiguate the homonym. Nine homonyms are examined in order to determine the weight of nouns and predicates which affect accrutacy of homonym disambiguation. From experiments using training corpus(definitions in dictionary), the average accruracy of homonym disamguation is 96.11% when the weight is 0.9 and 0.1 for noun and verb respectively. And another experiment to meaure the generality of the homonym disambiguation system results in the 80.73% average accuracy to 1,796 untraining sentences from Korean Information Base I and ETRI corpus.

In this paper, we introduce the methodology for the automatic generation of the subject field hierarchy for Intellgent Expert Management Framework using WordNet. Intelligent Expert Management Framework, which is proposed as an appropriate method to manage valuable tacit knowledge within the organization, defines the expert profile structure and proposes the efficient method to automate the process to collect and update the expert profile information based on the profile structure defined. To increase the satisfaction level of users, additional intelligent search features are defined and users can be given the list of experts in related or similar expert fields when they perform expert searches based on the expert database being built. To enable automatic profiling of the organizational experts as well as intelligent expert searches, the subject field hierarchy, upon which the expert profiles are classified and expert searches for similar fields are performed, should be predefined. In this paper, we propose the WordNet library method that first eliminates the ambiguity of the senses of nominal data values, constructs the subject field hierarchy by overlapping the hypernym of the remaining senses, and lastly adjusts the derived hierarchy to the preference of users. Based on the proposed methodology, we expect to avoid the prohibitive costs in building large subject field hierarchies when manually done as well as maintain the objectivity of the hierarchies.

The issues in polysemy with respect to the verbs in WordNet will be discussed in this paper. The hypernymy/hyponymy structure of the multiple senses is observed when we try to build a bilingual network for Chinese and English. There are several types of polysemic patterns and a co-hypernym may have the same word form as its subordinates. Fellbaum (2000) dubbed autotroponymy that the verbs linked by mailer relation share the same verb form. However, her syntactic criteria seem not compatible to the hierarchies in WN. Either the criteria or the network should be reconducted. For most verbs in WN 1.7, polysemous relations are unlikely to extend over 3 levels of IS-A relation. Highly polysemous verbs are more complicated and may be involved in certain semantic structures. Semi-automatic sense grouping may be helpful for multimlinguital information retrieveal.

대다수의 개방영역 자연어 질의응답 시스템은 답을 선택할 수 있는 개념영역을 미리 정의하고 있기 때문에 시스템이 준비하지 못한 범주의 개념을 묻는 질의문에 대해서는 올바른 응답을 생성하지 못하거나 예외 처리 방식으로 응답을 생성해 낸다. 본 논문에서는 전형적인 범주에 속하지 않는 명사 개념에 관한 질의문에 대해 범용적으로 대응할 수 있는 개방영역 자연어 질의응답 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 상위 개념 명사구(Hypernym)에 포함되는 하위 개념의 명사구(Hyponym)들을 추출할 수 있는 일반적인 패턴들을 그 신뢰도와 함께 가지고 있다. 따라서 질의문이 임의의 명사구 개념을 요청할 때 정답의 후보들을 동적으로 생성되는 가상의 is-a 의미관계 사전으로부터 신뢰 순위로 정렬하여 추출해 낼 수가 있다. 제안하는 시스템은 "What 명사구 동사구" 형태의 질의문들 중에서 개체명 인식기나 시소러스를 이용하여 정답 후보를 손쉽게 생성할 수 있는 질의문을 배제한 실험용 질의문 집합을 이용한 실험에서 42%의 재현율을 보였다.
