The significance of self-reported voice assessments concerning patients' chief complaints and quality of life has increased. Therefore, readability assessments of questionnaire items are essential. In this study, readability analyses were performed based on text grade and complexity, vocabulary frequency and grade, and lexical diversity of the 11 Korean versions of self-reported voice disorder questionnaires (KVHI, KAVI, KVQOL, K-SVHI, K-VAPP, K-VPPC, TVSQ, K-VDCQ, K-VFI, K-VTDS, and K-VoiSS). Additionally, a comparative readability assessment was conducted on the original versions of these questionnaires to discern the differences between their Korean counterparts and the questionnaires for children. Consequently, it was determined that voice disorder questionnaires could be used without difficulty for populations with lower literacy levels. Evaluators should consider subjects' reading levels when conducting assessments, and future developments and revisions should consider their reading difficulties.

일반 상식 추론 능력은 가장 사람다운 능력 중 하나로써, 인공지능 모델이 쉽게 모사하기 어려운 영역이다. 딥러닝 기반의 언어 모델은 여전히 일반 상식에 기반한 추론을 필요로 하는 분야에서 부족한 성능을 보인다. 특히, 한국어에서는 일반 상식 추론과 관련한 연구가 상당히 부족한 상황이다. 이러한 문제 완화를 위해 최근 생성 기반의 일반 상식 추론을 위한 한국어 데이터셋인 Korean CommonGen [1]이 발표되었다. 그러나, 해당 데이터셋의 평가 지표는 어휘 단계의 유사성과 중첩에 의존하는 한계를 지니며, 생성한 문장이 일반 상식에 부합한 문장인지 측정하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문은 한국어 일반 상식 추론 및 생성 능력에 대한 평가 지표를 개선하기 위해 문장 성분의 의미역과 자모의 형태 변화를 바탕으로 생성 결과를 평가하는 SRLev, 사람의 평가 결과를 학습한 BIH, 그리고 두 평가 지표의 장점을 결합한 SRLev-BIH를 제안한다.

Despite the substantial changes made in the product design field to adopt light as an essential design element, there has been little effort to define how customers respond emotionally to the light design of products. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the emotional effect of light as a new design element. However, previous research focuses solely on deriving optimal lighting conditions to achieve particular emotional effects. Therefore, this paper investigates the customers' desired emotional effects of product's light design. We studied refrigerators that utilize light as the main design element of the product. We applied mixed methods by combining close-ended questions and open-ended question to efficiently derive the desired emotion. Participants were asked to choose the most favorable refrigerator image in each of the twelve image groups and indicate why they choose that image with the short-answer survey form. Approximately one thousand terms were collected, and those terms were classified into 29 groups using thesaurus relationships. The term groups were again classified into the four big emotion categories and labelled as "abstract quality," "light property," "space perception," and "visual comfort." Also, a model of the relationship between desired light style and light properties was proposed, since we observed the light properties related to three other categories. This study used mixed methods to identify the emotional value of a new design element. We suggest that the emotional categories derived and the proposed relationship model could be used to evaluate the product's light design.

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.

We implemented a system being able to suggest example sentences for multiple choice tests, considering the level of students. To build the system, we designed an automatic method for sentence generation, which made it possible to control the difficulty degree of questions. For the proper evaluation in the multiple choice tests, proper size of question pools is required. To satisfy this requirement, a system which can generate various and numerous questions and their example sentences in a fast way should be used. In this paper, we designed an automatic generation method using a linguistic resource called WordNet. For the automatic generation, firstly, we extracted keywords from the existing sentences with the morphological analysis and candidate terms with similar meaning to the keywords in Korean WordNet space are suggested. When suggesting candidate terms, we transformed the existing Korean WordNet scheme into a new scheme to construct the concept similarity matrix. The similarity degree between concepts can be ranged from 0, representing synonyms relationships, to 9, representing non-connected relationships. By using the degree, we can control the difficulty degree of newly generated questions. We used two methods for evaluating semantic similarity between two concepts. The first one is considering only the distance between two concepts and the second one additionally considers positions of two concepts in the Korean Wordnet space. With these methods, we can build a system which can help the instructors generate new questions and their example sentences with various contents and difficulty degree from existing sentences more easily.

Recently, due to the increase of online reviews and the development of analysis technology, the interest and demand for online review analysis continues to increase. However, previous studies have not considered the emotions contained in each vocabulary may differ from one reviewer to another. Therefore, this study first classifies the customer group according to the customer's grade, and presents the result of analyzing the difference by performing review analysis for each customer group. We found that the price factor had a significant influence on the evaluation of products for customers with high ratings. On the contrary, in the case of low-grade customers, the degree of correspondence between the contents introduced in the mall and the actual product significantly influenced the evaluation of the product. We expect that the proposed methodology can be effectively used to establish differentiated marketing strategies by identifying factors that affect product evaluation by customer group.

This study has an aim to find out sensible factors of hahae Mask and to be helpful in developing design of products related with cultural products. This study selected and analyzed 32 vocabularies about sensible adjective to evaluate image of hahae Mask. Firstly, this study investigated image of hahae Mask through 32 vocabularies about sensible adjective and categorized 5 factors including 'attractive', 'native', 'interesting', 'active', and 'elaborate'. Secondly, sense had significant differences in 'native' and, 'interesting' based on kinds. Especially yangban Mask has more powerful nativeness than choraengi Mask, and is more interesting than jung Mask, baekjeong Mask, and bune Mask. Thirdly, the materials used in the products of hahae Mask generated differences of sensibility in elaborateness. Especially, elaborate image was emphasized about materials of glass. Fourthly, sensible image of hahae Mask was dependent upon population-statistic characteristics (age, sex, education) and characteristics of products(materials, kinds of Mask). If development of cultural products related with hahae Mask considers five sensible factors based on this study, it will contribute to development of design which coincides with consumers' needs.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of 2015 revised mathematics curriculum. This study focused on issues raised from the implementation. The teaching-learning methods for enhancing mathematical competencies, the amount and difficulty of mathematics in the 1st and 2nd grade, the level of vocabulary and sentence for students in the textbooks, and the support for successful implementation of the curriculum were collected and analyzed through questionnaires and interviews. As a result of the research, most of the teachers tried to improve the teaching and learning method considering mathematical competencies, but had difficulty in connecting contents and competencies. They also recognized that the amount and difficulty in the 1st and 2nd grade math, and the level of vocabulary and sentences presented in math textbooks were generally appropriate. However, they pointed out that the textbooks were over-emphasized in various ways out of basic calculation methods, and that the long sentences, which are not easy to read and understand by students who are not familiar with reading Korean, are included in the . They recognised that there is a large difference in level of reading Korean and understanding math among students. So we suggest that more active support is needed for the students who are learning slowly and the students who are having difficulty in reading Korean.
