In this paper, we describe a developmental system for establishing personal information tendency based on user queries. For each query, the system classified it based on the category information using a kNN classifier. As category information, we used DDC field which is already assigned to each record in the database. The system accumulates category information for all user queries and the user's personalized feature for the target database. We then developed a personalized retrieval system reflecting the personalized feature to produce search result. Our system re-ranks the result documents by adding more weights to the documents for which categories match with the user's personalized feature. By using user's tendency information, the ambiguity problem of the word could be solved. In this paper, we conducted experiments for personalized search and word sense disambiguation (WSD) on a collection of Korean journal articles of science and technology arena. Our experimental result and user's evaluation show that the performance of the personalized search system and WSD is proved to be useful for actual field services.

This paper presents a semantic vector space retrieval model incorporating a word sense disambiguation algorithm in an attempt to improve retrieval effectiveness. Nine Korean homonyms are selected for the sense disambiguation and retrieval experiments. The total of approximately 120,000 news articles comprise the raw test collection and 18 queries including homonyms as query words are used for the retrieval experiments. A Naive Bayes classifier and EM algorithm representing supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms respectively are used for the disambiguation process. The Naive Bayes classifier achieved $92\%$ disambiguation accuracy. while the clustering performance of the EM algorithm is $67\%$ on the average. The retrieval effectiveness of the semantic vector space model incorporating the Naive Bayes classifier showed $39.6\%$ precision achieving about $7.4\%$ improvement. However, the retrieval effectiveness of the EM algorithm-based semantic retrieval is $3\%$ lower than the baseline retrieval without disambiguation. It is worth noting that the performances of disambiguation and retrieval depend on the distribution patterns of homonyms to be disambiguated as well as the characteristics of queries.

정보 검색에서는 질의문과 문서를 동일한 표현으로 변환시켜 관련성을 비교하게 된다. 특히 질의문과 문서의 언어가 서로 다른 교차 언어 문서 검색 (CLTR : Cross-Language Text Retrieval) 에서 이러한 변환 과정은 언어 변환을 수반하게 된다. 교차 언어 문서 검색의 기존 연구에는 사전, 말뭉치, 기계 번역 등을 이용한 방법들이 있다. 일반적으로 언어간 변환에는 필연적으로 의미의 중의성이 발생되며 사전에 기반한 기존 연구에서는 다의어의 중의성 의미해소를 고려치 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 질의어의 언어 변환시 한-일 대역어 사전 및 카도가와 시소러스 (각천(角川) 시소러스) 에 기반한 질의어 중의성 해소 방법과 공기하는 대역어를 갖는 문서에 가중치를 부여하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법들은 일본어 특허 문서를 대상으로 실험하였으며 5 %의 정확도 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.
