Categorization means the process labeling or identifying an object based on what people already know or its similarity for people to be easily perceptible in external environment. If it is categorized, it is schematically conjectured from typical characteristic of the category. In this sense, the categorization of new products has an important effect upon the market performance. Nevertheless, the categorization of innovative new products is not easy and occasionally very ambiguous. In this study, we discuss how to strengthen the categorization strategy of new hybrid IT products through complementary bundling. The model of this study is based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with resistance variable and verifies the statistical significance by undertaking a survey on consumers' awareness. In addition, we review the moderating effects of prior knowledge in the adoption process of complementary bundling. Through this analysis, we find out the structural relationship among the factors affecting adoption of complementary bundling. Also, it show that the influence of prior knowledge in respect of the adoption process is greater than others in case that there exists significant heterogeneity among strategic categories and complements. In conclusion, these findings suggest the following managerial implication. The categorization strategy of new hybrid IT product can be enhanced by complementary bundling, but the suitability among strategic category and complements should be evaluated exhaustively.

About 3.9 million apps and 24 primary categories can be approved on Apple iTunes Store. Making accurate categorization can potentially receive many benefits for developers, app stores, and users, such as improving discoverability and receiving long-term revenue. However, current categorization problems may cause usage inefficiency and confusion, especially for cross-attribution, etc. This study focused on evaluating the reliability of app categorization on Apple iTunes Store by using several rounds of inter-rater reliability statistics, locating categorization problems based on Machine Learning, and making more accurate suggestions about representative functionality stems for each primary category. A mixed methods research was performed and total 4905 popular apps were observed. The original categorization was proved to be substantial reliable but need further improvement. The representative functionality stems for each category were identified. This paper may provide some fusion research experience and methodological suggestions in categorization research field and improve app store's categorization in discoverability.

High-speed classification method becomes an important research issue in text categorization systems. A fast text categorization technique, named feature value voting, is introduced recently on the text categorization problems. But the classification accuracy of this technique is not good as its classification speed. We present a novel approach for feature selection, named document-side feature selection, and apply it to feature value voting method. In this approach, there is no feature selection process in learning phase; but realtime feature selection is executed in classification phase. Our results show that feature value voting with document-side feature selection can allow fast and accurate text classification system, which seems to be competitive in classification performance with Support Vector Machines, the state-of-the-art text categorization algorithms.

With the growth of the digital library and the use of Internet, the amount of online text information has increased rapidly. The need for efficient data management and retrieval techniques has also become greater. An automatic text categorization system assigns text documents to predefined categories. The system allows to reduce the manual labor for text categorization. In order to classify text documents, the good features from the documents should be selected and the documents are indexed with the features. In this paper, each steps of text categorization and several techniques used in each step are introduced.

The HKIB, or Hankookilbo, test collections are two archives of Korean newswire stories manually categorized with semi-hierarchical or hierarchical category taxonomies. The base newswire stories were made available by the Hankook Ilbo (The Korea Daily) for research purposes. At first, Chungnam National University and KISTI collaborated to manually tag 40,075 news stories with categories by semi-hierarchical and balanced three-level classification scheme, where each news story has only one level-3 category (single-labeling). We refer to this original data set as HKIB-40075 test collection. And then Yonsei University and KISTI collaborated to select 20,000 newswire stories from the HKIB-40075 test collection, to rearrange the classification scheme to be fully hierarchical but unbalanced, and to assign one or more categories to each news story (multi-labeling). We refer to this modified data set as HKIB-20000 test collection. We benchmark a k-NN categorization algorithm both on HKIB-20000 and on HKIB-40075, illustrating properties of the collections, providing baseline results for future studies, and suggesting new directions for further research on Korean text categorization problem.

Rapid object recognition is one of the main stream research themes focusing to reveal how human recognizes object and interacts with environment in natural world. This field of study is of consequence in that it is highly important in evolutionary perspective to quickly see the external objects and judge their characteristics to plan future reactions. In this study, we investigated how human detect natural scene objects and categorize them in a limited time frame. We applied Magnetoencepahlogram (MEG) while participants were performing detection (e.g. object vs. texture) or basic-level categorization (e.g. cars vs. dogs) tasks to track the dynamic interaction in human brain for rapid object recognition process. The results revealed that detection and categorization involves different temporal and functional connections that correlated for the successful recognition process as a whole. These results imply that dynamics in the brain are important for our interaction with environment. The implication from this study can be further extended to investigate the effect of subconscious emotional factors on the dynamics of brain interactions during the rapid recognition process.

Text categorization systems generally use single words (unigrams) as features. A deceptively simple algorithm for improving text categorization is investigated here, an idea previously shown not to work. It is to identify useful word pairs (bigrams) made up of adjacent unigrams. The bigrams it found, while small in numbers, can substantially raise the quality of feature sets. The algorithm was tested on two pre-classified datasets, Reuters-21578 for English and Korea-web for Korean. The results show that the algorithm was successful in extracting high quality bigrams and increased the quality of overall features. To find out the role of bigrams, we trained the Na$\"{i}$ve Bayes classifiers using both unigrams and bigrams as features. The results show that recall values were higher than those of unigrams alone. Break-even points and F1 values improved in most documents, especially when documents were classified along the large classes. In Reuters-21578 break-even points increased by 2.1%, with the highest at 18.8%, and F1 improved by 1.5%, with the highest at 3.2%. In Korea-web break-even points increased by 1.0%, with the highest at 4.5%, and F1 improved by 0.4%, with the highest at 4.2%. We can conclude that text classification using unigrams and bigrams together is more efficient than using only unigrams.

Off-line ship chartering is done nearly through the brokers. Because of the international scale of chartering market, brokers spend too much times and costs on searching the most appropriate product which the consumers want. In this research, we propose the on-line Charter Product Categorization Model to search the products efficiently in the Cyber Chartering System. This Model will make concerned parties of the ship chartering to get unified product information efficiently, and the select the most appropriate product. In this research, we classified the ship chartering products into categories of cargo, ship type, and sea routes, and defined mutual relation of each products, and we verified that this classification is necessary to search the products through the product searching experiment.

In managing organizational tacit knowledge, recent researches have shown that it is more applicable in many ways to provide expert search mechanisms in KMS to pinpoint experts in the organizations with searched expertise. In this paper, we propose an intelligent expert search framework to provide search capabilities for experts in similar or related fields according to the user′s information needs. In enabling intelligent expert searches, Fuzzy Abstraction Hierarchy (FAH) framework has been adopted, through which finding experts with similar or related expertise is possible according to the subject field hierarchy defined in the system. To improve FAH, a text categorization approach called Vector Space Model is utilized. To test applicability and practicality of the proposed framework, the prototype system, "Knowledge Portal for Researchers in Science and Technology" sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of Korea, was developed.
