Various Korean word sense disambiguation methods have been proposed using small scale of sense-tagged corpra and dictionary definitions to calculate entropy information, conditional probability, mutual information and etc. for each method. This paper proposes a method using Korean Word Space model which builds word vectors from a large scale of sense-tagged corpus and disambiguates word senses with the similarity calculation between the word vectors. Experiment with Sejong morph sense-tagged corpus showed 94% precision for 200 sentences(583 word types), which is much superior to the other known methods.

As opinion mining in big data applications has been highlighted, a lot of research on unstructured data has made. Lots of social media on the Internet generate unstructured or semi-structured data every second and they are often made by natural or human languages we use in daily life. Many words in human languages have multiple meanings or senses. In this result, it is very difficult for computers to extract useful information from these datasets. Traditional web search engines are usually based on keyword search, resulting in incorrect search results which are far from users' intentions. Even though a lot of progress in enhancing the performance of search engines has made over the last years in order to provide users with appropriate results, there is still so much to improve it. Word sense disambiguation can play a very important role in dealing with natural language processing and is considered as one of the most difficult problems in this area. Major approaches to word sense disambiguation can be classified as knowledge-base, supervised corpus-based, and unsupervised corpus-based approaches. This paper presents a method which automatically generates a corpus for word sense disambiguation by taking advantage of examples in existing dictionaries and avoids expensive sense tagging processes. It experiments the effectiveness of the method based on Naïve Bayes Model, which is one of supervised learning algorithms, by using Korean standard unabridged dictionary and Sejong Corpus. Korean standard unabridged dictionary has approximately 57,000 sentences. Sejong Corpus has about 790,000 sentences tagged with part-of-speech and senses all together. For the experiment of this study, Korean standard unabridged dictionary and Sejong Corpus were experimented as a combination and separate entities using cross validation. Only nouns, target subjects in word sense disambiguation, were selected. 93,522 word senses among 265,655 nouns and 56,914 sentences from related proverbs and examples were additionally combined in the corpus. Sejong Corpus was easily merged with Korean standard unabridged dictionary because Sejong Corpus was tagged based on sense indices defined by Korean standard unabridged dictionary. Sense vectors were formed after the merged corpus was created. Terms used in creating sense vectors were added in the named entity dictionary of Korean morphological analyzer. By using the extended named entity dictionary, term vectors were extracted from the input sentences and then term vectors for the sentences were created. Given the extracted term vector and the sense vector model made during the pre-processing stage, the sense-tagged terms were determined by the vector space model based word sense disambiguation. In addition, this study shows the effectiveness of merged corpus from examples in Korean standard unabridged dictionary and Sejong Corpus. The experiment shows the better results in precision and recall are found with the merged corpus. This study suggests it can practically enhance the performance of internet search engines and help us to understand more accurate meaning of a sentence in natural language processing pertinent to search engines, opinion mining, and text mining. Naïve Bayes classifier used in this study represents a supervised learning algorithm and uses Bayes theorem. Naïve Bayes classifier has an assumption that all senses are independent. Even though the assumption of Naïve Bayes classifier is not realistic and ignores the correlation between attributes, Naïve Bayes classifier is widely used because of its simplicity and in practice it is known to be very effective in many applications such as text classification and medical diagnosis. However, further research need to be carried out to consider all possible combinations and/or partial combinations of all senses in a sentence. Also, the effectiveness of word sense disambiguation may be improved if rhetorical structures or morphological dependencies between words are analyzed through syntactic analysis.

This paper proposes a noun sense disambiguation method based-on corpus and conceptual information. Previous research has restricted the use of linguistic knowledge to the lexical level. Since knowledge extracted from corpus is stored in words themselves, the methods requires a large amount of space for the knowledge with low recall rate. On the contrary, we resolve noun sense ambiguity by using concept co-occurrence information extracted from an automatically sense-tagged corpus. In one experimental evaluation it achieved, on average, a precision of 82.4%, which is an improvement of the baseline by 14.6%. considering that the test corpus is completely irrelevant to the learning corpus, this is a promising result.

Most researches on word sense disambiguation have used static sized context regardless of sentence patterns. This paper proposes to use dynamic sized context considering sentence patterns and distance between words for word sense disambiguation. We evaluated our system 12 words in 32,735sentences with Sejong POS and sense tagged corpus, and dynamic sized context showed 92.2% average accuracy for predicates, which is better than accuracy of static sized context.

WSD(word sense disambiguation) is one of the most difficult problems in Korean information processing. The Bayesian model that used semantic information, extracted from definition corpus(1 million POS-tagged eojeol, Korean dictionary definitions), resulted in accuracy of 72.08% (nouns 78.12%, verbs 62.45%). This paper proposes the statistical WSD model using NPH(New Prior Probability of Homonym sense) and distance weights. We select 46 homonyms(30 nouns, 16 verbs) occurred high frequency in definition corpus, and then we experiment the model on 47,977 contexts from ‘21C Sejong Corpus’(3.5 million POS-tagged eojeol). The WSD model using NPH improves on accuracy to average 1.70% and the one using NPH and distance weights improves to 2.01%.

한국어의 의미 분석을 위해서 의미소가 부여된 말뭉치(Sense-Tagged Corpus)의 구축은 필수적이다. 의미 태깅은 어휘의 다의적 특성으로 인해, 형태소나 구문 태깅에서와 같은 규칙 기반의 처리가 어려웠다. 기존의 연구에서 어휘의 의미는 형태소와 구문적 제약 등의 표층상에서 파악되어 왔으며, 이는 의미 데이터 기반으로 이루어진 것이 아니었기에, 실용적인 결과를 얻기가 힘들었다. 본 연구는 한국어의 구문과 의미적 특성을 고려하고, 용언과 모어 성분간의 의존 관계 및 의미 정보를 나타내는 하위범주화사전과 어휘의 계층적 의미 관계를 나타낸 의미사전(시소러스)을 이용하여, 반자동적인 방법으로 의미소가 부여된 말뭉치의 구축을 위한 기준과 알고리즘을 논하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a method of disambiguating the senses of words using decision lists, which consists of rules with confidence values. The rule of decision list is composed of a boolean function(=precondition) and a class(=sense). Decision lists classify the instance using the rule with the highest confidence value that is matched with it. Previous work disambiguated the senses using single feature decision lists, whose boolean function was composed of only one feature. However, this approach can be affected more severely by data sparseness problem and preprocessing errors. Hence, we propose multiple feature decision lists that have the boolean function consisting of more than one feature in order to identify the senses of words. Experiments are performed with 1 sense tagged corpus in Korean and 5 sense tagged corpus in English. The experimental results show that multiple feature decision lists are more effective than single feature decision lists in disambiguating senses.

The purpose of this study is to analyze newspaper articles from corpus linguistic point of view. We used a large corpus of newspaper articles built from <21st century Sejong Project> and counted occurrences of certain expressions. A newspaper article is divided into the headline, the lead and the body. We tried to figure out how to measure the characteristics of indication and compression which are typical to headlines. Then, we focused on the differences between the headline and the lead. finally, we analyzed the sentence structure and measured the ratio of the frequency of common nouns in the body. This study verifies the existing stylistic theories of newspapers and shows new aspects of language use in newspaper articles. Texts like newspaper articles are the results of human language processing and they in turn affect the development of cognitive ability of language.

Determining the correct word sense among ambiguous senses is essential for semantic analysis. One of the models for word sense disambiguation is the word space model which is very simple in the structure and effective. However, when the context word vectors in the word space model are merged into sense vectors in a sense inventory, they become typically very large but still suffer from the lexical scarcity. In this paper, we propose a word sense disambiguation method using word embedding that makes the sense inventory vectors compact and efficient due to its additive compositionality. Results of experiments with a Korean sense-tagged corpus show that our method is very effective.

This paper asserted more developmental model of WSD(word sense disambiguation) than J. Hur(2000)'s WSD model. This model suggested an improved statistical homonym disambiguation Model based on Bayes Theory. This paper using semantic information(co-occurrence data) obtained from definitions of part of speech(POS) tagged UMRD-S(Ulsan university Machine Readable Dictionary(Semantic Tagged)). we extracted semantic features in the context as nouns, predicates and adverbs from the definitions in the korean dictionary. In this research, we make an experiment with the accuracy of WSD system about major nine homonym nouns and new seven homonym predicates supplementary. The inner experimental result showed average accuracy of 98.32% with regard to the most Nine homonym nouns and 99.53% for the Seven homonym predicates. An Addition, we save test on Korean Information Base and ETRI's POS tagged corpus. This external experimental result showed average accuracy of 84.42% with regard to the most Nine nouns over unsupervised learning sentences from Korean Information Base and ETRI Corpus, 70.81 ％ accuracy rate for the Seven predicates from Sejong Project phrase part tagging corpus (3.5 million phrases) too.
