Electronically available biological literature has been accumulated exponentially in the course of time. So, researches on automatically acquiring knowledge from these tremendous data by text mining technology become more and more prosperous. However, most of the previous researches are technology oriented and are not well focused in practical extraction target, hence result in low performance and inconvenience for the bio-researchers to actually use. In this paper, we propose a more biology oriented target domain specific text mining system, that is, POSTECH bio-text mining system (POSBIOTM), for signal transduction pathway extraction, especially for G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) pathway. To reflect more domain knowledge, we specify the concrete target for pathway extraction and define the minimal pathway domain ontology. Under this conceptual model, POSBIOTM extracts interactions and entities of pathways from the full biological articles using a machine learning oriented extraction method and visualizes the pathways using JDesigner module provided in the system biology workbench (SBW) [14]

Fake news is defined as the news articles that are intentionally and verifiably false, and could mislead readers. Spread of fake news may provoke anxiety, chaos, fear, or irrational decisions of the public. Thus, detecting fake news and preventing its spread has become very important issue in our society. However, due to the huge amount of fake news produced every day, it is almost impossible to identify it by a human. Under this context, researchers have tried to develop automated fake news detection method using Artificial Intelligence techniques over the past years. But, unfortunately, there have been no prior studies proposed an automated fake news detection method for Korean news. In this study, we aim to detect Korean fake news using text mining and machine learning techniques. Our proposed method consists of two steps. In the first step, the news contents to be analyzed is convert to quantified values using various text mining techniques (Topic Modeling, TF-IDF, and so on). After that, in step 2, classifiers are trained using the values produced in step 1. As the classifiers, machine learning techniques such as multiple discriminant analysis, case based reasoning, artificial neural networks, and support vector machine can be applied. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we collected 200 Korean news from Seoul National University's FactCheck (http://factcheck.snu.ac.kr). which provides with detailed analysis reports from about 20 media outlets and links to source documents for each case. Using this dataset, we will identify which text features are important as well as which classifiers are effective in detecting Korean fake news.

Text mining is one of the big data analysis methods that extracts meaningful information from atypical large-scale text data. In this study, text mining was used to monitor citizens' opinions on the policies and systems being implemented. We collected 5,108 newspaper articles and 748 online cafe posts related to 'Gyeonggi Lacal Currency' and performed frequency analysis, TF-IDF analysis, association analysis, and word tree visualization analysis. As a result, many articles related to the purpose of introducing local currency, the benefits provided, and the method of use. However, the contents related to the actual use of local currency were written in the online cafe posts. In order to revitalize local currency, the news was involved in the promotion of local currency as an informant. Online cafe posts consisted of the opinions of citizens who are local currency users. SNS and text mining are expected to effectively activate various policies as well as local currency.

In this paper, we propose a text-centered approach to identify the research trend of thyroid cancer in Korea. We incorporate statistical analysis, text mining and machine learning techniques with our clinical insights to find connective associations between terminologies and to discover informative clusters of literatures. The incidence of thyroid cancer in Korea increased rapidly in the 2000s, which fueled the debate regarding overdiagnosis, but recently the number of patients undergoing surgery has decreased significantly due to conscious reform efforts from various circles. We analyzed the abstracts and keywords of related research papers from DBpia. It was found that most were case reports in the 1980s, and some papers in the 1990s discussed the early detection of thyroid cancer by mass screening. While many papers focused on different diagnostic techniques and the detection of small cancers in the 2000s, many emphasized more on the quality of life of patients in the 2010s. There was an apparent change in the topics of thyroid cancer research over past decades. The results of this study would serve as a reference guide for current and future research directions.

Blockchain technology, which enables transparent transactions among individuals without central control, opens up diverse business possibilities. It is also expected that blockchain will have a ripple effect on the entire area of society including finance, manufacturing, distribution, and the public sector. Previous studies related to the blockchain also deals with its functional features and application to industrial and public fields. In the new technology such as blockchain, it is necessary to know what social perception is in order to create technological development environment, but there is a lack of research on it. Therefore, this study aims to find out the implications for industrial and policy direction by analyzing issues related to the blockchain in South Korea and the US through text mining. From these two countries, we collected text data related to blockchain in online communities and internet articles. Then, we did co-occurrence analysis and topic modeling on them respectively. As a result of this study, we have found common points and differences in keywords and topics extracted from social media in the two countries. Based on them, we can offer helpful suggestions for building a sound blockchain ecosystem, and directions for future research.

Application (app) ratings are feedback provided voluntarily by users and serve as important evaluation criteria for apps. However, these ratings can often be biased owing to insufficient or missing votes. Additionally, significant differences have been observed between numeric ratings and user reviews. This study aims to predict the numeric ratings of Google apps using machine learning classifiers. It exploits numeric app ratings provided by users as training data and returns authentic mobile app ratings by analyzing user reviews. An ensemble learning model is proposed for this purpose that considers term frequency/inverse document frequency (TF/IDF) features. Three TF/IDF features, including unigrams, bigrams, and trigrams, were used. The dataset was scraped from the Google Play store, extracting data from 14 different app categories. Biased and unbiased user ratings were discriminated using TextBlob analysis to formulate the ground truth, from which the classifier prediction accuracy was then evaluated. The results demonstrate the high potential for machine learning-based classifiers to predict authentic numeric ratings based on actual user reviews.

The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of domestic American casual fashion trends using big data text mining analysis. 108,524 posts and 2,038,999 extracted keywords from Naver and Daum related to American casual fashion in the past 5 years were collected and refined by the Textom program, and frequency analysis, word cloud, N-gram, centrality analysis, and CONCOR analysis were performed. The frequency analysis, 'vintage', 'style', 'daily look', 'coordination', 'workwear', 'men's wear' appeared as the main keywords. The main nationality of the representative brands was Japanese, followed by American, Korean, and others. As a result of the CONCOR analysis, four clusters were derived: "general American casual trend", "vintage taste", "direct sales mania", and "American styling". This study results showed that Japanese American casual clothes are influenced by American casual clothes, and American casual fashion in Korea, which has been reinterpreted, is completed with various coordination and creative styles such as workwear, street, military, classic, etc., focusing on items and brands. Looks were worn and shared on social networks, and the existence of an active consumer group and market potential to obtain genuine products, ranging from second-hand transactions for limited edition vintages to individual transactions were also confirmed. The significance of this study is that it presented the characteristics of American casual fashion trends academically based on online text data that the public actually uses because it has been spread by the public.
