The purpose of this pilot study is to construct a searching thesaurus with word association test in the library and information science field and to confirm it's functionality as searching aids through query expansion experiments. The test results were analyzed to four types of relationship between stimulus words and response words, and the terms of association thesaurus were compared with descriptors of an existing thesaurus. The test results show that the word association test is a fruitful method to identify many related terms and narrower and equivalent terms in some degree to the stimulus terms. Furthermore. in the query expansion experiment. the Performance of association thesaurus was better than that of an existing thesaurus, This result demonstrates that word association thesaurus can apply to query expansion.

본 연구에서는 단어의 의미연상을 이용하여 시소러스를 작성해봄으로써 탐색 시소러스 구축에 있어 단어연상검사법의 적용가능성을 살펴보았다. 문헌정보학 분야를 대상으로 단어연상검사를 실시한 후 자극어와 반응어간의 의미관계를 파악하고 반응어와 통제어휘를 비교 분석하였다. 실험 및 분석결과, 단어연상검사를 이용하면 다양한 연관관계 용어들을 시소러스에 포함시킬 수 있으며, 통제어휘집에 나타난 하위관계와 동등관계 용어들을 어느 정도 반영할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 단어의 의미연상을 이용하여 구축된 탐색 시소러스는 정보검색환경에서 질의확장에 응용될 수 있다.

The aim of this research is to map the intellectual structure of the field of LED and optics during the period of 2000-2009. We utilize the scientometric tool of co-word analysis to reveal patterns and trends in the LED and optics field by measuring the association strengths of keywords (or IPCs). Data were collected from Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and United Stated Patent and Trademark Office (USTPO) for the period of 2000-2009. Keywords were extracted from abstracts and further standardized using thesaurus. In order to trace the dynamic changes of the LED and optics field, the whole 10-year period was separated into two consecutive periods: 2000-2004 and 2005-2009. The results show that the LED and optics field has some established research themes and it also changes to embrace new themes.

User query formation highly acts on the effectiveness of information retrieval when we retrieve documents from the general domain as a web. This thesis proposes a intelligent information retrieval method based on a cross-lingual knowledge base to effectively perform a cross-lingual text retrieval from the web. The inferred knowledge from the cross-lingual knowledge base helps user's word association to make up user query easily and exactly for effective cross-lingual text information retrieval. This thesis develops user's query reformation algorithm and experiments it with Korean and English web. Experimental results show that the algorithm based on the proposed knowledge base is much more effective than without knowledge base in the cross-lingual text retrieval.
