We propose a new query expansion method in the extended Boolean model that improves precision without degrading recall. For improving precision, our method promotes the ranks of documents having more query terms since users typically prefer such documents. The proposed method consists of the following three steps: (1) expanding the query by adding new terms related to each term of the query, (2) further expanding the query by adding augmented terms, which are conjunctions of the terms, (3) assigning a weight on each term so that augmented terms have higher weights than the other terms. We conduct extensive experiments to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves precision by up to 102% for the TREC-6 data compared with the existing query expansion method using a thesaurus proposed by Kwon et al.

User query formation highly acts on the effectiveness of information retrieval when we retrieve documents from the general domain as a web. This thesis proposes a intelligent information retrieval method based on a cross-lingual knowledge base to effectively perform a cross-lingual text retrieval from the web. The inferred knowledge from the cross-lingual knowledge base helps user's word association to make up user query easily and exactly for effective cross-lingual text information retrieval. This thesis develops user's query reformation algorithm and experiments it with Korean and English web. Experimental results show that the algorithm based on the proposed knowledge base is much more effective than without knowledge base in the cross-lingual text retrieval.

Dictionaries are indispensable for NLP(natural language processing) systems. Sophisticated algorithms in the NLP systems can be fully appreciated only with matching dictionaries that are built systematically based on computational linguistics. Only few dictionaries are developed for natural language processing. Available dictionaries are far from complete specifications for practical uses. So, it is necessary to develop an integrated information dictionary that includes useful lexical information for processing and understanding natural languages such as morphology and syntactic and semantic information. In this paper, we propose a method to build an integrated dictionary, and introduce a dictionary developing system.

In this paper, We propose a document thematic words extraction by using principal component analysis(PCA) which is one of the multivariate statistical methods. The proposed PCA model understands the flow of words in the document by using an eigenvalue and an eigenvector, and extracts thematic words. The proposed model is estimated by applying to document summarization. Experimental results using newspaper articles show that the proposed model is superior to the model using either word frequency or information retrieval thesaurus. We expect that the Proposed model can be applied to information retrieval , information extraction and document summarization.

Objective: Various controlled vocabulary such as thesaurus and classification make us to reuse and share effectively by defining different concept and linking terms each other. The UMLS(Unified Medical Language System) is one of the most universal medical terminology systems. It is needed various methods to share and reuse information of traditional Korean medicine. We will research on method that adopt SUI of the UMLS(that is de facto standard in medical terminology system) in traditional Korean medical terminology. Method: We described major problems and applying process when we tried to add traditional Korean medicine in the part of meridian into the UMLS metathesaurus. Comparing western medical terms and traditional Korean medical terms for applying UMLS metathesaurus, there is not only many consistency, but also differences. Result: We confirmed what is the differences and consistency between western medical terms and traditional Korean medical terms. And then reviewed methods that apply the CUI, LUI, SUI in traditional Korean medical terms. Traditional Korean medical terms are not discriminated by singular or plural string. In addition, traditional Korean medical terms have vary string by initial law: the law of initial sound of a syllable. Character is described with Korean, traditional Chinese, modern Chinese, etc. According to meaning, language, initial law, SUI has a distinct value respectively. Conclusion: There are many differences to apply the UMLS between western medical terms and traditional Korean medical terms. For the better implementation to traditional Korean medicine into the UMLS, further research is needed in standardization and classification of traditional Korean medical terms, medical information system, etc. We hope this study helps the implementation UMLS, EHR, knowledge based system in Oriental medicine in the future.

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.

Objective : This study aims to clearly define the concept of Korean medicine terminology related with breast disease that occurs during breastfeeding. It attempts to suggest aguideline so that identical terms can be used to explain the medical conditions of breast-feeders from the perspective of oriental medicine. Method : This paper is based on what is recorded in medical books. It has organized the relations between the terms grounded on the analysis of similarities and differences in the concepts of the terms contained in them. The medical book chiefly used here was "Uibangyuchwi(醫方類聚)". To organize the terms, thesaurus was utilized. Result & Conclusion : The terminology of Korean medicine related with breast disease that occurs during breastfeeding is prescribed from the aspects of the causes, affected areas, or pathological conditions. The clinically typical terms of korean medicine are 'Tuyu(妬乳)' and 'Yuong(乳癰)'. The two are distinguished by whether one has systemic symptoms or not. If one has no systemic symptom, it is 'Chwiyu(吹乳)' or 'Tuyu', and these two are distinguished by whether one has 'Chang(瘡; sores)' or not. It is significant to organize the concepts of korean medicine terminology since they are directly related with treatments in the field.
