  • This study investigated the relationships between inter-cultural experience and socio-psychological adjustment to the current life among children who have refilmed from living abroad. The subject of research consisted of 102 boys and 110 girls from fourth grade through sixth grade who returned to their home country after living in a foreign correlation Data were collected from 5 elementary schools in Seoul. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation analysis and regression were used for data analysis. The results of children's social-psychological adjustment were represented by 3 categories: school/friend relationship, stress/strain and language/learning. The following are the summarized results; First, girl students were more likely to adapt to school/friend relationships in Korea and had lower stress/strain than boys. Second, the children having shorter period of residence in foreign county, lower adaptation ability to different culture and extrovert personality showed higher socio-psychological adjustments after returning to Korea. Third, the adjustment to school/friends was influenced by period of residency in the foreign county, the experience of different culture, and extrovert personality. The experience of different culture and extrovert personality effected stress/strain, and the adjustments to language/learning were influenced only by the ewperiecne of different culture. Lastly, the experience of different culture was the most important variable influencing all 3 categories of socio-psychological adjustments.

  • 상호참조해결은 문서에서 명사, 대명사, 명사구 등의 멘션 후보를 식별하고 동일한 개체를 의미하는 멘션들을 찾아 그룹화하는 태스크이다. 딥러닝 기반의 한국어 상호참조해결 연구들에서는 BERT를 이용하여 단어의 문맥 표현을 얻은 후 멘션 탐지와 상호참조해결을 동시에 수행하는 End-to-End 모델이 주로 연구가 되었으며, 최근에는 스팬 표현을 사용하지 않고 시작과 끝 표현식을 통해 상호참조해결을 빠르게 수행하는 Start-to-End 방식의 한국어 상호참조해결 모델이 연구되었다. 최근에 한국어 상호참조해결을 위해 구축된 ETRI 데이터셋은 WIKI, QA, CONVERSATION 등 다양한 도메인으로 이루어져 있으며, 신규 도메인의 데이터가 추가될 경우 신규 데이터가 추가된 전체 학습데이터로 모델을 다시 학습해야 하며, 이때 많은 시간이 걸리는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 상호참조해결 모델의 도메인 적응에 Continual learning을 적용해 각기 다른 도메인의 데이터로 모델을 학습 시킬 때 이전에 학습했던 정보를 망각하는 Catastrophic forgetting 현상을 억제할 수 있음을 보인다. 또한, Continual learning의 성능 향상을 위해 2가지 Transfer Techniques을 함께 적용한 실험을 진행한다. 실험 결과, 본 논문에서 제안한 모델이 베이스라인 모델보다 개발 셋에서 3.6%p, 테스트 셋에서 2.1%p의 성능 향상을 보였다.

  • Background: Studies of quality of life (QoL) of oncological patients is carried out using questionnaires approved in many international clinical studies. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer EORTC QLQ-C30 (Quality of Life Questionnary-Core 30) and its special brain cancer module EORTC QLQ-BN20 are widely used in the world neurooncologic practice. They are available in more than 80 official versions of 30 languages of the world. Previously we used the official versions in Russian, which often causes difficulty in understanding for native Kazakh language speakers, who comprise more than 60% of our respondents. This was the reason for creating a version of Kazakh language. Therefore, in 2014 for the first time the process of adaptation of questionnaires to the Kazakh language was initiated. Materials and Methods: The translation process of questionnaires to Kazakh language was held in accordance with the requirements of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer EORTC on QoL and consisted of the following stages: preparation - translation - pilot testing - approval. The official permission of authors and "Guideline on translation" was obtained which was developed by the working group of the EORTC on QoL. The pilot testing of EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BN20 questionnaires was conducted on the basis of the Department of Central Nervous System Pathology of the "National Centre for Neurosurgery" in patients with malignant tumors of the central nervous system. Results: The official versions of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BN20 questionnaires in Kazakh language were introduced and adapted in practical neurosurgical operations in Kazakhstan. Conclusions: The approved versions of the questionnaires in Kazakh language are now available for mainstream use on the official website EORTC.com. The versions of these questionnaires can be used in domestic cohort studies and clinical practice in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The use of these tools for assessing QoL will help professionals in the planning of individual treatment strategies and selection of the necessary therapy.

  • In South Korea nowadays, Among the married immigrant women in Korea, the proportion of long-term residents living in Korea for more than 10 years is increasing continuously(48%), while the proportion of short-term residents who are under 5 years is decreasing(16%). However, Korean language education and related research in the Marriage and Immigration Women's Center are still focused on the initial immigrants. Therefore, we should classify married immigrant women according to their stay time in Korea, so that Korean language education and teaching materials need to be more diversified. This study focuses on married immigrant women with intermediate and advanced Korean proficiency and chooses a catalogue of Chinese characters idioms to explore the possibility and educational value of using Chinese characters Idioms in Korean education. According to the research results, Chinese characters idiom education can help married immigrant women in Korean language learning and information acquisition, interpersonal relationships and life attitudes, cultural understanding and social adaptation, child rearing and learning guidance. This is the important part of Korean language education that needs to be guided by married immigrant women. Based on this, 130 Chinese characters idioms in Korean language education and textbook development centered on married immigrant women were selected and catalogue edited in four stages. It is hoped that the results of this study will serve as a reference for Korean language education research and textbook development for married immigrant women in the future.

  • Assessment can be defined as any method used to understand the current knowledge that a student possesses. Assessment may influence decisions about grades, placement, instructional needs, and curriculum. Therefore, the purpose of assessment is to identify how the students think and know, to diagnose the difficulties they face, and to reflect the result of assessment on teaching. But the traditional multiple-choice test failed to evaluate and teach higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills. In this context, performance assessment is being required as an alternative assessment to get better understanding about what the students can do as well as what they know. This article points out some weaknesses of traditional assessments, and comments on the theoretical background and necessity of performance assessment. And it presents more specific information about performance assessment and some examples. It is certain that performance assessment is student-centered and future-oriented. But performance assessment can't be the surest and best way of evaluating the students' abilities. We are just on the way of another experimental stage for improving teaching methodology. More supplementary analyses and further improvements are needed.

  • Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) is a compulsory element in a voice-controlled machine due to its inherent capability of interpreting imprecise natural language commands. To control such a machine, user's perception of imprecise words is very important because the words' meaning is highly subjective. This paper presents a voice based controller centered on an adaptable FNN to capture the user's perception of imprecise words. Conversational interface of the machine facilitates the learning through interaction. The system consists of a dialog manager (DM), the conversational interface, a Knowledge base, which absorbs user's perception and acts as a replica of human understanding of imprecise words,...

  • This paper describes on the Korean continuous speech recognition system for flight reservation. It adopts a frame-synchronous One-Pass DP search algorithm driven by syntactic constraints of context free grammar(CFG). For recognition, 48 phoneme-like units(PLU) were defined and used as basic units for acoustic modeling of Korean. This modeling was conducted using a HMM technique, where each model has 4-states 3-continuous output probability distributions and 3-discrete-duration distributions. Language modeling by CFG was also applied to the task domain of flight reservation, which consisted of 346 words and 422 rewriting rules. In the tests, the sentence recognition rate of 62.6% was obtained after speaker adaptation.
