This study aims to analyze and evaluate term suggestion services of major search portals, Naver and Google Korea. In particular, this study evaluated relevance and currency of related search terms provided, and analyzed characteristics such as number and distribution of terms, and queries that did not produce terms. This study also analyzed types of terms in terms of the relationship between queries and terms, and investigated types and characteristics of harmful terms and terms with grammatical errors. Finally, Korean queries and English queries, and popular queries and academic queries were compared in terms of the amount and relevance of search terms provided. The results of this study show that the relevance and currency of Naver's related search terms are somewhat higher than those of Google. Both Naver and Google tend to add terms to or delete terms from original queries, and provide identical search terms or synonym terms rather than providing entirely new search terms. The results of this study can be implemented to the portal's effective development of term suggestion services.

With the service suggesting additional extended or related query, search engines aim to provide their users more convenience. The extended or related query suggestion service based on popularity, or by how many people have searched on web using the query, has limitations to elevate users' satisfaction, because each user's preference and interests differ. This paper will demonstrate the design and realization of the system that suggests extended query appropriate for users' demands, and also an improvement in the computing process between entering the first search word and the subsequent extension to the related themes. According to the evaluation the proposed system suggested 41% more extended or related query than when searching on Google, and 48% more than on Yahoo. Also by improving the shortcomings of the extended or related query system based on general popularity rather than each user's preference, the new system enhanced users' convenience further.

We build the web document recommending agent system which offers a certain amount of web documents to each user by monitoring and learning the user's action of web browsing. We also propose a method of query expansion using the Korean thesaurus. The queries to search for new web documents generate a candidate set using the Korean thesaurus. We extract the words which are mostly correlated with the queries, among the words in the candidate set, by using TF-IDF and mutual information. Then, we expand the query. If we adopt the system of query expansion, we can recommend a lot of web documents which have potential interests to users. We thus conclude that the system of query expansion is more effective than a base system of recommending web-documents to users.

In this paper, a user search history based potential query recommendation system is proposed to enable the user of information search system to represent one's potential desire for information in terms of query and to facilitate the desired information to be searched. The proposed system has analyzed the association with the existing users's search histories based on the users' search query, and it has extracted the users's potential desire for information. The extracted potential desire for information is represented in terms of recommended query and thereby made recommendations to users. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the system proposed in this paper, we conducted behavioral experiments by using search histories of 27656. As a result of behavioral experiments, the experiment subjects were found to show a statistically significant higher level of satisfaction when using the proposed system as compared to using general search engines.

검색 엔진에 입력되는 질의 중 입력 빈도는 낮지만 상대적으로 길이가 긴 질의를 롱테일 질의라고 일컫는다. 롱테일 질의가 전체 검색 로그에서 차지하는 비중은 높은 반면, 그 형태가 매우 다양하고 검색 의도가 상세하며 개별 질의의 양은 충분하지 않은 경우가 많기 때문에 해당 질의에 대한 적절한 검색어를 추천하는 것은 어려운 문제다. 본 논문에서는 롱테일 질의 입력 시 적절한 검색어 추천을 제공하기 위하여 질의-문서 클릭 정보를 활용한 추출기반 모델 및 Seq2seq와 GPT-2 기반 생성모델을 활용한 질의 확장 방법론을 제안한다. 실험 및 결과 분석을 통하여 제안 방법이 기존에 대응하지 못했던 롱테일 질의를 자연스럽게 확장할 수 있음을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 실제 서비스에 접목함으로써 사용자의 검색 편리성을 증대하는 동시에, 언어 모델링 기반 질의 확장에 대한 가능성을 확인하였다.

최근 음악 검색 연구에서 일반적으로 사용되는 방법은 키워드 중심의 텍스트 기반 검색방식, 음원의 특징 정보나 허밍 질의 처리 등을 이용하는 내용기반 검색 방식 등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 검색 방식은 단순히 원하는 음악을 질의에 따라 검색해 주며 인간의 감성을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 질의에 의한 검색뿐만 아니라 질의한 음원과 감성정도가 같은 음원을 추천하는 인간 감성 기반 음악 검색 및 추천 시스템을 제안한다. 인간 감성 기반 음악 검색 및 추천 시스템은 크게 2가지 요소로 구성된다. 첫 번째는 사용자가 질의한 질의어를 분석하는 감성기반 검색추론엔진과 두 번째는 음원의 특징 정보 및 감성 정보를 가지고 있는 음원 감성 정보 데이터베이스로 구성된다. 사용자의 감성에 따라 음악을 검색하고 추천한다는 것은 향후 음반 산업에 큰 발전에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

Recently, much studies for providing mobile users with suitable and useful content services, LBS(Location Based Service) corresponding to the change of users' location, are actively going on. First and foremost, this is basically owing to the progress of location management technologies such as GPS, mobile communication technology and the spread of personal devices like PDA and the cellular phones. Besides, the research scope of LBS has been changed from vehicle tracking and navigation services to intelligent and personalized services considering the changing information of conditions or environment where the users' are located. For example, it inputs the information such as heavy traffic, pollution, and accidents. The query languages which effectively search the stored vehicle and environment information have been studied depending on the increase of the information utilization. However, most of existing moving object query languages are not enough to provide a recommendation service for a user, because they can not be tested and evaluated in real world and did not consider changed environment information. In order to retrieve not only a vehicle location and environment condition but also use them, we suggest a moving object query language for recommendation service and implement a moving object query process system for supporting a query language. It can process a nearest neighbor query for recommendation service which considers various attributes such as a vehicle's location and direction, environment information. It can be applied to location based service application which utilizes the recommended factors based on environmental conditions.

자연어 처리 분야 중 현재 가장 활용도가 높은 분야는 질의어 추천기능, 단어 자동 완성 기능 등으로 정보검색에서 사용자가 입력한 문자들을 바탕으로 질의어를 완성해주는 것이다. 이러한 기능을 위해서는 문서 내용을 고려한 N-Gram 데이터 구축이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 문서 편집기나 검색엔진의 질의어 추천 등에 많이 활용되는 N-Gram 데이터의 전문용어별 구축을 위해 위키피디아 문서를 이용하는 방안을 제시하였다.

인터넷의 급속한 양적 증가로 인해 색인어 기반의 검색 방식만으로는 원하는 정보를 찾아 내기가 쉽지 않다. 색인어 기반의 검색 방식에서는 색인어로 나타나지 않는 특징을 이용할 수 없으며, 질적으로 균등한 검색 결과를 제시하지 못하기 때문이다. 따라서 사이트의 여러 가지 특성에 따라 계층적으로 분류해놓은 웹 디렉토리를 이용하거나, 관련 전문가들의 추천 리스트를 이용하여 검객하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 색인어 기반의 검색 모델에 웹 디렉토리와 추천 문서 같은 문서간의 링크 정보를 결합할 수 있는 정보 검색 모델을 제시한다. 특정 질의어의 검색 결과로 얻어낸 문서와 그 문서와 연결된 문서 집합을 이용하여 네트워크를 구성한다. 이 네트워크에 검색기가 제시하는 순위와 유사도, 그리고 문서간의 링크 정도를 이용해서 확률값을 정해준다. 그리고 Ergodic Markov Model의 특성을 이용하여 색인어 정보와 링크 정보를 결합한다. 본 연구에서는 특정 문서가 질의어에 부합되는 정도를 사용자가 그 문서로 이동할 확률값으로 계산하는 방식을 보인다.

Until now, popular paradigms to provide e-catalog documents that are adapted to users' needs are keyword search or collaborative filtering based recommendation. Since users' queries are too short to represent what users want, it is hard to provide the users with e-catalog documents that are adapted to their needs(i.e., queries and preferences). Although various techniques have beenproposed to overcome this problem, they are based on index term matching. A conventional Bayesian belief network-based approach represents the users' needs and e-catalog documents with their corresponding concepts. However, since the concepts are the index terms that are extracted from the e-catalog documents, it is hard to represent relationships between concepts. In our work, we extend the conventional Bayesian belief network based approach to represent users' needs and e-catalog documents with a concept network which is derived from the Web directory. By exploiting the concept network, it is possible to search conceptually relevant e-catalog documents although they do not contain the index terms of queries. Furthermore, by computing the conceptual similarity between users, we can exploit a semantic collaborative filtering technique for recommending e-catalog documents.
