Objectives : This study aimed to examine a correlation between the somatic complaints, emotion, vocabulary and alexithymia as a component of personality in normal persons. Methods : 204 subjects were collected by age-based systematic sampling from the 662 persons without confirmed medical illness. We used the Korean version of 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS-20K) to measure alexithymia. The somatic complaints were checked by the list of somatic symptoms on the diagnostic criteria of somatization disorder and major depressive episode in DSM-IV. The vocabulary was evaluated by the total number of associating-words from the spontaneous association of word and the secondary association to given words. The anxiety and depression were evaluated using 5-point self-report scale. Results : 1) The degree of alexithymia was significantly correlated with the somatic complaints, anxiety, depression. 2) The somatic complaints were significantly correlated with the anxiety and depression. 3) The number of associating-words showed negative correlation with the age. 4) The degree of alexithymia was not correlated with the number of associating-words. Conclusion : The more degree of alexithymia increased, the more somatic complaints appeared. There was a significant correlation between the degree of alexithymia, anxiety and depression. But the degree of alexithymia was not correlated with the amount of vocabulary.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to employ emotional features to document retrieval systems. Fine emotional features, such as HAPPY, SAD, ANGRY, FEAR, and DISGUST, have been used to represent Korean document. Users are allowed to use these features for retrieving their documents. Next, retrieved documents are learned by classification methods like cohesion factor, naive Bayesian, and, k-nearest neighbor approaches. In order to combine various approaches, voting method has been used. In addition, k-means clustering has been used for our experimentation. The performance of our approach proved to be better in accuracy than other methods, and be better in short texts rather than large documents.

스마트폰과 같은 모바일 기기가 발전함에 따라 SNS, 모바일 메신저, SMS와 같은 단문 기반 메시지는 자신의 감정을 가장 잘 표현하는 매체이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 기존 연구는 주로 장문의 텍스트로부터 긍정, 부정 분류나 문서의 성향을 분석하는 것에 그치는 경우가 많다. 의미지향(Semantic Orientation)방법은 검색엔진을 통해 감정 키워드와 인지하고자 하는 단어의 동시 빈출 정도를 PMI로 계산한 것으로 WordNet과 같은 의미 사전이 존재하지 않는 한국어의 특성에서 적용 가능한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 의미 지향성 및 다른 텍스트 기반 감정 분류 기술에 대해 비교하고 이들을 활용하여 한국어로 구성된 단문 텍스트에서 효율적인 감정 분류 기법을 제안하고자 한다.

An opinion mining technique which was developed from document classification in area of data mining now becomes a common interest in domestic as well as international industries. The core of opinion mining is to decide precisely whether an opinion document is a positive or negative one. Although many related approaches have been previously proposed, a classification accuracy was not satisfiable enough to applying them in practical applications. A opinion documents written in Korean are not easy to determine a polarity automatically because they often include various and ungrammatical words in expressing subjective opinions. Proposed in this paper is a new approach of classification of opinion documents, which considers only a frequency of word patterns and excludes the grammatical factors as much as possible. In proposed method, we express a document into a bag of words and then apply a learning algorithm using a frequency of word patterns, and finally decide the polarity of the document using a score function. Additionally, we also present the experiment results for evaluating the accuracy of the proposed method.

In cyberspace based on internet, users constitute communities and interact one another. Avatar means not only the other self but also the 'another being' that describes oneself in the cyberspace. If user's avatar shows expressive faces and behaves according to his thinking and emotion, he will have a feel of reality much more in the cyberspace. If avatar's countenances can be animated by just typing characters in avatar-based chat communication, the user is able to express his emotions more effectively. In this study, emotion-expressing vocabulary is analyzed and classified. Emotion-expressing vocabulary is essential to develop self-reactive avatar system in which avatar's countenances are automatically converted according to the words typed by users at chat. The results are as follows; First, emotion-expressing vocabulary selected out of Korean adjectives and intransitive verbs is made up of 209 words and is classified into 25 groups. Second, there are only 2 groups out of the 25 groups for positive expressions and others are for negative expressions. Therefore, negative expressions are more abundant than positive expressions in Korean vocabulary. Third, avatar's countenances are modelled according to the 25 groups by using the Quantification Method 3. The result shows that the emotion-expressing vocabulary has dose relations with avatar's countenances and is useful to communicate users' emotions. However, this study has some limits, in that Korean linguistical structure - the whole meaning of context - cannot be interpreted quantitatively.

This paper proposes a machine learning-based emotion analysis system that detects a user's depression through their SNS posts. We first made a list of keywords related to depression in Korean, then used these to create a training data by crawling Twitter data - 1,297 positive and 1,032 negative tweets in total. Lastly, to identify the best machine learning model for text-based depression detection purposes, we compared RNN, LSTM, and GRU in terms of performance. Our experiment results verified that the GRU model had the accuracy of 92.2%, which is 2~4% higher than other models. We expect that the finding of this paper can be used to prevent depression by analyzing the users' SNS posts.

In this paper, we propose an effective emotion feature extraction method for Korean and evaluate their availability in sentiment classification. Korean emotion features are expanded from several representative emotion words and they play an important role in building in an effective sentiment classification system. Firstly, synonym information of English word thesaurus is used to extract effective emotion features and then the extracted English emotion features are translated into Korean. To evaluate the extracted Korean emotion features, we represent each document using the extracted features and classify it using SVM(Support Vector Machine). In experimental results, the sentiment classification system using the extracted Korean emotion features obtained more improved performance(14.1%) than the system using content-words based features which have generally used in common text classification systems.

In this paper, we examine the role of emotional acoustic cues including both prosody and voice quality parameters for the modification of a word sense. For the extraction of prosody parameters and voice quality parameters, we used 60 pieces of speech data spoken by six speakers with five different emotional states. We analyzed eight different emotional acoustic cues, and used a discriminant analysis technique in order to find the dominant sequence of acoustic cues. As a result, we found that anger has a close relation with intensity level and 2nd formant bandwidth range; joy has a relative relation with the position of 2nd and 3rd formant values and intensity level; sadness has a strong relation only with prosody cues such as intensity level and pitch level; and fear has a relation with pitch level and 2nd formant value with its bandwidth range. These findings can be used as the guideline for find-tuning an emotional spoken language generation system, because these distinct sequences of acoustic cues reveal the subtle characteristics of each emotional state.

최근 페이스북(Facebook), 트위터(Twitter) 등의 SNS(Social Network Service)의 사용자가 급격하게 증가하고 있다. SNS가 발달하면서 언제 어디서나 쉽게 자신의 위치, 현재의 감정들을 온라인상에서 공유한다. 이에 따라 사람의 감정을 표현하는 단어 100여개를 7가지 감정(기쁨, 흥미, 슬픔, 분노, 놀람, 지루함, 통증)으로 분류하였으며[1]. 이를 분석하기 위한 감정 표현 분석기 모듈을 설계하였다. 설계한 모듈을 사용하여 페이스북의 사용자 뉴스피드(News-Feed)를 분석하여 사용자의 성향을 분석하였다.
