교차언어 검색 과정에서는 질의나 문서의 언어를 일치시키기 위한 변환 과정이 필수적이며, 이런 변환 과정에서 어휘의 중의성으로 인해 하나의 어휘에 대응하는 다수의 대역어가 생성됨으로써 사용자의 정보 욕구를 왜곡시켜 검색의 성능을 저하시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 어휘 중의성 문제를 해결하기 위해서 질의의 문맥 정보를 이용하여 변환 질의의 확률을 구함으로써 중의성을 해소하는 방식을 제시하고, 질의의 길이, 중의도, 중의성을 가진 어휘의 비율 등에 따라서 성능이 어떻게 변하는지 비교함으로써 이 방법의 장점과 단점을 분석한다. 또한 현재의 단점을 보완하기 위한 차후 연구 방향을 제시한다.

지금까지의 한영 번역 방식은 규칙 기반 방식이 주를 이루었지만 현재 패턴을 이용한 번역 방식이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그러나 패턴 기반 방식은 그 적용성(Coverage)에 대한 치명적인 단점을 지닌다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한국어 패턴을 어절 단위의 일반 문틀과 동사구를 중심으로 하는 용언중심의 문틀로 나누어 각 패턴들에 대한 적용성 및 실현성을 조사한다. 실험은 기존의 형태소 분석기를 이용하여 방송 자막 문장 351,806 문장을 대상으로 자동으로 문틀을 구축하여 4,995 문장의 테스트 데이터에 대한 적용성 검사를 실시하였다. 즉 본 논문에서는 방송 자막 문장을 대상으로 한영번역을 위한 일반 문틀 및 용언 중심의 문틀 방식의 적용성을 조사하여 문틀 기반 방식의 실현성을 평가하고 앞으로의 한영 번역 시스템 개발 방향을 제시한다.

Music braille is made up of more systematic and various symbols compared with text braille. Therefore, the translation of braille music requires extensive knowledge of the music and the braille symbols. Because currently the computer program for the text braille has already developed, we don't need any help from the braille translator. However, the translation of music braille is hard without the help of a professional music braille translator, because the translation computer program is not perfect. The current situation is that the music braille translator reads the music score and translates it into the braille himself. In this paper, we designed and implemented the "Braille Music Converter", you can implement a person does not understand the braille translation into music braille well. It includes translation into text braille for the lyrics processing and rest, octave, key signature, time signature, tie, slur, repeat mark was confirmed that the successful conversion to the actual music score.

This study dealt with the U.S. government's book translation project as a part of its public diplomacy to gain the Korean people's 'minds and thoughts' in the midst of cultural Cold War from the end of World War II to the late 1950s. It was found that the U.S. book translation project was begun during the U.S. military occupation of South Korea, though with minimum efforts, and reached its peak in the late 1950s, In general, the purposes of the U.S. book translation project in South Korea was as follows: to emphasize the supremacy of American political and economic systems; to criticize the irrationality of communism and conflicts in the communist societies; to increase the Korean people's understanding of the U.S. foreign policies; to publicize the achievement of the U.S. people in the areas of arts, literature, and sciences. In the selection of books for translation, any ones were excluded which might contradict to U.S. foreign policy or impair U.S. images abroad. It must be noted that publications of a few Korean writers' books were supported by the project, if they were thought to be in service for its purposes. Even some Japanese books, which were produced by the U.S. book translation project in Japan, were utilized for the best effects of the project in South Korea. It may be conceded that the U.S. book translation project contributed a little bit to the compensation for the dearth of knowledge and information in South Korea at that time. However, the project may have distorted the Korean people's perspectives toward the U.S. and world, owing to the book selection in accordance with the U.S. government's policy guidance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the instrument modification and validation processes to make existing health belief model scales culturally appropriate for Korean Americans (KAs) regarding colorectal cancer (CRC) screening utilization. Methods: Instrument translation, individual interviews using cognitive interviewing, and expert reviews were conducted during the instrument modification phase, and a pilot test and a cross-sectional survey were conducted during the instrument validation phase. Data analyses of the cross-sectional survey included internal consistency and construct validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The main issues identified during the instrument modification phase were (a) cultural and linguistic translation issues and (b) newly developed items reflecting Korean cultural barriers. Cross-sectional survey analyses during the instrument validation phase revealed that all scales demonstrate good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha=.72~.88). Exploratory factor analysis showed that susceptibility and severity loaded on the same factor, which may indicate a threat variable. Items with low factor loadings in the confirmatory factor analysis may relate to (a) lack of knowledge about fecal occult blood testing and (b) multiple dimensions of the subscales. Conclusion: Methodological, sequential processes of instrument modification and validation, including translation, individual interviews, expert reviews, pilot testing and a cross-sectional survey, were provided in this study. The findings indicate that existing instruments need to be examined for CRC screening research involving KAs.

Objectives: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Stigma Questionnaire (ASQ) and the effect of the source of information about mental health on ADHD stigma. Methods: The Korean translation of the ASQ was prepared, and 673 participants, 20-64 years of age, completed the questionnaire using an online panel survey in South Korea. The participants also completed questionnaires detailing sociodemographic variables and the source of their mental health knowledge. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to explore the internal consistency of the ASQ. Factor analysis using Varimax rotation was conducted to investigate the structure of the ASQ. Results: The 26-item ASQ demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.940). Factor analysis supported a three-factor structure, including Concerns with Public Attitudes, Negative Self-Image, and Disclosure Concerns. There were no significant differences in the total ASQ scores according to sociodemographic characteristics. Participants who reported the internet as their major source of information about mental health showed higher ASQ scores compared to those who used other sources for mental health information. Conclusion: The Korean translation of the ASQ has acceptable psychometric properties among Korean adults. Inaccurate information from the internet could increase the stigma toward ADHD.

This paper proposes to determine word senses in Korean language processing by corpus-based ontology learning. Our approach is a hybrid method. First, we apply the previously-secured dictionary information to select the correct senses of some ambiguous words with high precision, and then use the ontology to disambiguate the remaining ambiguous words. The mutual information between concepts in the ontology was calculated before using the ontology as knowledge for disambiguating word senses. If mutual information is regarded as a weight between ontology concepts, the ontology can be treated as a graph with weighted edges, and then we locate the least weighted path from one concept to the other concept. In our practical machine translation system, our word sense disambiguation method achieved a 9％ improvement over methods which do not use ontology for Korean translation.

Major depressive disorder is characterized by cellular and molecular alterations resulting in the depressive behavioral phenotypes. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the deficits, including cell atrophy and loss, in limbic and cortical regions of patients with depression, which is restored with antidepressants by reestablishing proper molecular changes. These findings have implicated the involvement of relevant intracellular signaling pathways in the pathogenetic and therapeutic mechanisms of depressive disorders. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the signal transduction mechanisms related to depressive disorders, including cyclic-AMP, mitogen-activated protein kinase, Akt, and protein translation initiation signaling cascades. Understanding molecular components of signaling pathways regulating neurobiology of depressive disorders may provide the novel targets for the development of more efficacious treatment modalities.

In this paper, an English-Korean machine translation system which consists of a syntax analyzer, a semartic analyzer and a sentence generatodr is proposed. The intermediate language in the syntax analysis is described by a lambda categorial grammar that is based on Montague Grammar, and the augmented context free grammar is introduced in the description of object language. Much difficulty in constructing general rules and semantic representations of an object language in the parser can be avoided by using the knowledge from the user interface utility that can modify the contents of dictionary and grammar rules.
