A Fuzzy Retrieval System to Facilitate Associated Learning in Problem Banks

문제 은행에서 연상학습을 지원하는 퍼지 검색 시스템

Abstract

This paper presents a design and implementation of fuzzy retrieval system that could support an associated learning in problem banks. It tries to retrieve some of the problems conceptually related to specific semantics described by user's queries. In particular, the problem retrieval system employs a fuzzy thesaurus which represents relationships between domain dependent vocabularies as fuzzy degrees. It would keep track of characteristics of the associated learning, which should guarantee high recall and acceptable precision for retrieval effectiveness. That is, since the thesaurus could make a vocabulary mismatch problem resolved among query terms and document index terms, this retrieval system could take a chance to effectively support user's associated teaming. Finally, we have evaluated whether the fuzzy retrieval system is appropriate for the associated teaming or not, by means of its precision and recall rate point of view.

본 논문에서는 사용자 질의가 가지는 특정한 의미로부터 개념적으로 서로 연관된 문제들을 문제 은행에서 검색해 줌으로써 학습자의 연상학습을 지원할 수 있는 퍼지 검색 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 특히, 연상학습의 특성인 검색의 일정한 정확률과 높은 재현율을 유지하기 위해 이 검색 시스템은 퍼지 시소러스를 이용하였다. 여기서, 도메인 종속적인 개념들 사이의 관계를 퍼지 정도로 표현하는 시소러스는 질의에 기술된 탐색어와 문제를 대표하는 색인어 사이의 용어 불일치 문제를 해결해 줌으로써 연상학습에 적합한 검색 성능을 나타낼 수 있게 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 퍼지 시소러스를 이용한 문제검색 시스템의 연상학습에 대한 적합성을 검색의 정확률과 재현율을 통해 평가하였다.
