Our limited understanding of real-life music information queries is an impediment to developing music information retrieval (MIR) systems that meet the needs of real users. This study aims to contribute to developing a theorized understanding of how people seek music information by an empirical investigation of real-life queries, in particular, focusing on the accuracy of user-provided information and users' uncertainty expressions. This study found that much of users' information is inaccurate; users made various syntactic and semantic errors in providing this information. Despite these inaccuracies and uncertainties, many queries were successful in eliciting correct answers. A theory from pragmatics is suggested as a partial explanation for the unexpected success of inaccurate queries.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the syntactic criteria for determining a secondary predicates as a predicate modifier or a conjunction, and to formalize the semantic aspects of the [-ke] structure as a predicate in Korean. Syntactically, the [-ke] structure is considered to be a secondary predicate when the shared arguments appear in both the [-ke] structure and the main verb structure. On the other hand, if they do not appear in both structures, the [-ke] structure is considered to be a connective element. Semantically the [-ke] structure has numerous aspects such as depictives, resultatives, objectivity, and emphasis. The depictives of the secondary predicate can be formalize as $p{\wedge}q$ where p represents a propositional expression of the secondary predicate and q is a propositional expression of the main verb. Resultatives have the logical form $q{\rightarrow}{\Box}p$, because the consequence has to always be true. However, objectivity has the logical form $q{\rightarrow}{\diamondsuit}p$, because the consequence can be either true or false. Emphasis is represented as $q{\rightarrow}p{\uparrow}$ because the secondary predicate represents the polarity of the event.

This paper proposes a phrase-based indexing system based on the phrase. the larger syntax unit than a single keyword. Early information retrieval systems with indexing system matching single keyword is simple and popular. But with single keyword matching it is very hard to represent the exact meaning of documents and the set of documents from retrieval is very large, therefore it can't satisfy the user of the information retrieval systems. Web documents include lots of syntactic errors, the natural language parser with high quality cannot be expected in Web. Partial trees, even not a full tree, from fully bottom-up parsing is still useful for extracting phrases, and they are much more discriminative than single keyword for index. It helps the information retrieval system enhance the efficiency and reduce the processing overhead, too.

The completion of the Human Genome Project that identified all 3 billion base pairs in the human genome can be seen as a step towards understanding the relay of information and intention within an organism, or in other words, the language of life. The faculty of human language, key to differentiating humans from other animate species, works for conveying information to others by mapping meaning to sound based on syntactic structures. This resemblance between life and language has not gone unnoticed; the literature on RNA transcription and translation research regularly uses linguistic metaphors and the biolinguistic perspective of language has also been studied. By examining the biological characteristics of language and the linguistic characteristics of life, this study aims to identify key mechanisms shared between the two systems in order to promote a stronger connection between them. It furthers this goal by pointing out two general messages to which these mechanisms aim, productivity and accuracy, and discovers what lesson these messages give to a human society geared for sustainability.

This paper describes a fingerprint classification on the basis of feature points(whorl, core) and feature vector and uses a syntactic approach to identify the shape of flow line around the core. Fingerprint image is divided into 8 by 8 subregions and fingerprint region is separated from background. For each subregion of fingerprint region, the dominant ridge direction is obtained to use the slit window quantized in 8 direction and relaxation is performed to correct ridge direction code. Feature points(whorl, core, delta) are found from the ridge direction code. First classification procedure divides the types of fingerprint into 4 class based on whorl and cores. The shape of flow line around the core is obtained by tracing for the fingerprint which has one core or two core and is represented as string. If the string is acceptable by LR(1) parser, feature vector is obtained from feature points(whorl, core, delta) and the shape of flow line around the core. Feature vector is used hierarchically and linearly to classify fingerprint again. The experiment resulted in 97.3 percentages of sucessful classification for 71 fingerprint impressions.

This paper presents a Korean conversational agent system in a mobile environment using natural language processing techniques. The aim of a conversational agent in mobile environment is to provide natural language interface and enable more natural interaction between a human and an agent. Constructing such an agent, it is required to develop various natural language understanding components and effective utterance generation methods. To understand spoken style utterance, we perform morphosyntactic analysis, shallow semantic analysis including modality classification and predicate argument structure analysis, and to generate a system utterance, we perform example based search which considers lexical similarity, syntactic similarity and semantic similarity.

한 언어에 대한 포괄적인 언어정보 데이타베이스의 구축에 있어서는 수집된 텍스트에 대한 상세한 문법정보의 주석이 일차적 작업 대상이 된다. 이는 통사적 정보가 단순히 구문 분석상의 문제들을 해결하기 위한 정보를 제공해주는 것일 뿐 아니라 형태소 해석 및 문장 의미의 파악등 자연언어 이해시스템 전반의 성능을 향상시키는 데에 중요한 물을 차지하기 때문이다. 각개 단어의 문법적 기능에 대한 주석은 사전적 정의에 따른다면 "품사"로 표현할 수 있을 것이다. 그런데 품사는 각개 단어가 지니는 고유한 어휘의미적 정보이기보다는 구문구조에 의존적인 양상을 보인다. 이는 사전에 따라서 각개 단어에 대한 품사 정보가 달리 나타나는 점에서도 간취할 수 있는데, 한편으로 한국어 언어정보 데이타베이스 구축을 위한 문법적 주석에 있어서는 기존 사전의 품사정보에만 의존할 수는 없다는 문제점이 제기된다. 따라서 각 어휘들의 구문정보(흑은 품사정보)를 어떻게 기술할 것인가가 해결되어야 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 각 어휘들의 문장 안에서의 기능을 바탕으로 한 주석체계를 설정하고 그에 따라서 약 12만개의 문장에 대한 일차적 형식화를 수작업으로 처리하였다. 이는 향후 자동적으로 문법적 주석이 가능하도록 해주는 시스템의 개발을 지원하기 위한 언어정보의 수집에 목적을 둔 것인데, 이를 통해서 기존 국어사전에서의 언어정보상의 미비점을 수정 보완할 몇 가지 근거를 마련할 수 있었다.

자연어 분석에서 발생하는 가장 큰 문제점은 분석의 각 단계에서 필요 이상의 모호성이 발생하는 것이다. 이러한 모호성은 각각의 분석 단계에서는 반드시 필요한 결과일 수 있지만 다음 단계의 관점에서는 불필요하게 과생성된 자료로 볼 수 있다. 특히 한국어 형태소 분석 단계는 주어진 문장에 대해 최소의 의미를 가지는 형태소로 분석하기 때문에 과생성된 결과를 많이 만들어 내는데, 이들 대부분이 보조용언이나 의존 명사를 포함하는 형태소열에서 발생한다. 품사 태깅된 코퍼스에서 높은 빈도를 나타내는 형태소들을 분석해 보면 주위의 형태소와 강한 결합 관계를 가지는 것을 발견할 수 있다. 이러한 형태소는 대부분 자립성이 없는 기능형태소로서, 개개의 형태소가 가지는 의미의 합으로 표현되기보다는 문장내에서 하나의 구문 단위로 표현될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 형태소 열을 구문 형태소로 정의하고, 필요한 경우 일반 형태소 해석의 결과를 구문 형태소 단위로 결합하고 이를 바탕으로 구문 해석을 하는 방법을 제안한다. 구문 형태소 단위를 이용하여 구문해석을 수행함으로써, 형태소 해석 결과의 축소를 통해 불필요한 구문 해석 곁과를 배제할 수 있다.

In order to construct a data warehouse of process plant equipment, a classification structure should be defined first, identifying not only the equipment categories but also attributes of an each equipment to represent the specifications of equipment. ISO 15926 Process Plants is an international standard dealing with the life-cycle data of process plant facilities. From the viewpoints of defining classification structure, Part 2 data model and Reference Data Library (RDL) of ISO 15926 are seen to respectively provide standard syntactic structure and semantic vocabulary, facilitating the exchange and sharing of plant equipment's life-cycle data. Therefore, the equipment data warehouse with an ISO 15926-based classification structure has the advantage of easy integration among different engineering systems. This paper introduces ISO 15926 and then discusses how to define a classification structure with ISO 15926 Part 2 data model and RDL. Finally, we describe the development result of an ISO 15926-based classification structure for a variety of equipment consisting in the reactor coolant system (RCS) of APR 1400 nuclear plant.

This Paper classified korean Parts-of-speech for korean-english machine translation and investigated morphological characters of each parts-of-speech. Korean standard grammar classified parts-of-speech by semantic, functional and formal character. Many rules make a difficulties the understanding of grammar structure and parts-of-speech classification and it is necessary to preprocess at machine translation. This paper classified korean parts-of-speech by one rule. The parts-of-speech suggested in this paper have a same syntactic role and same parts-of-speech with english dictionary, and express the structure of korean sentence. And also it can make target language by pattern matching in korean-english translation.
