The present study was conducted to explore how the processing of lexical ambiguity between homonymy and polysemy differs from each other, and whether the representation of mental lexicon was separated from each lexical ambiguity by a semantic priming paradigm. Homonymy (M1 means the literal meaning of '사과', i.e. apple and M2 means another literal meaning of '사과', i.e. apologize) was used in Experiment I, and polysemy (M2 means the literal meaning of '바람', i.e. wind and M2 means the figurative meaning of '바람', i.e. wanton) was used in Experiment 2. The results of both experiments showed that a significant semantic priming effect occurs regardless of the type of ambiguities (homonymy and polysemy) and the difference of their semantic processes. However, the semantic priming effect for polysemy was larger than that for homonymy. This result supports the hypothesis that the semantic process of homonymy is different from that of polysemy.

The following research questions are examined in this paper. What hinders quality metadata generation and metadata interoperability? What kind of semantic representation technique can be utilized in order to enhance metadata quality and semantic interoperability? This paper suggests a way of handling semantic ambiguity for metadata generation. The conceptual graph is utilized to disambiguate semantic ambiguities caused by isolation of a metadata element and its corresponding definition from the relevant context. The mechanism introduced in this paper has the potential to alleviate issues dealing with inconsistent metadata application and interoperability across digital collections.

한국어는 용언이 의미적 제약을 통해 문장을 지배하며 대부분의 한국어 문장은 주절과 내포문을 가지는 복문으로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 한국어에 맞는 구문 문법이나 구문 제약을 기술하는 것은 매우 어렵고 한국어를 파싱 하면 다양한 구문 모호성이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 구문 제약으로 문형(sentence patterns)을 사용하는 CFG기반의 문법을 기술하여 구문 모호성을 해결하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 내포문을 포함하는 복문도 문형으로 분류하였으며 44개의 문형을 사용한다. 그러나 한국어 특성상 문형 정보만으로는 모든 구문 모호성을 해결할 수가 없기 때문에 문형에 의미 제약(semantic constraint)을 가한 의미 지표(semantic marker)를 사용하여 파싱을 수행한다. 의미 지표는 보조사의 처리나 공동격 조사에 의해 발생되는 구문 모호성을 해결하는데 이용될 수 있다.

키워드의 모호성은 효율적인 키워드 탐색에 있어서 일반적인 이슈가 되어왔는데, 이 모호성은 탐색결과의 신뢰성에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 기본적으로 질의에 사용된 용어 자체가 가지는 문맥상 의미의 모호함에 기인한다. 질의 자체의 모호함뿐만 아니라, 사용자들이 그 탐색 결과를 적절하게 해석하기 위해 결과에 나타나는 키워드간의 관계도 중요하므로 명확하게 명시 되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 질의 용어와 스키마 용어/인스턴스간의 키워드 매핑기법을 적용하여 키워드 탐색의 모호성을 해결한다. 용어간의 매핑에서는 질의 키워드와 스키마 용어간의 구문적 유사성은 물론 시맨틱 유사성까지 고려하기 때문에 기존의 시스템에 비해 매핑과 정밀도가 50% 이상 상승하는 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 탐색결과에 나타나는 용어간의 불분명한 관계를 점 더 명확하게 나타내기 위하여 시맨틱 웹 기술을 적용하여 키워드간의 의미 있는 관계를 더 많이 지식베이스 내에서 찾을 수 있도록 하였다.

본 논문은 한국어의 어휘적 중의성을 해결하는 시스템을 보여준다. 이 시스템은 의존 문법과 대조 의미론을 이용하고 있다. 의존 문법은 두 형태소 사이의 의존관계에 의하여 문장을 분석한다. 대조 의미론은 어휘적 중의성과 의미관계의 상호작용을 조사한다. 대조 의미론은 의미 프레임,의미 백터,대조,분류의 4개의 구성요소로 이루어진다. 본 시스템은 C 언어로 구성되었으며, 문자을 분석 학과 두 단어간의 의미 관계를 조사하며 어휘적 중의성을 해결한다.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the types of semantic errors made by MT in translating EFL college students' original drafts written in Korean into English. Specifically, this study attempts to find out 1) what types of semantic errors are most frequently committed by MT? and 2) how students feel about the quality of the MT-produced output? The findings from this study indicated that MT produced the errors related to accuracy (47%) the most, followed by the errors related to fluency and ambiguity (14.6% respectively). Students were well aware of the errors with accuracy and fluency but had limited ability to check the errors with ambiguity. Based on the findings, this study suggests pedagogical implications which can be implemented in L2 writing classrooms.

This study examines the recognition of the user's sound command based on speech recognition and natural language processing, and develops the natural language interface agent which can analyze the recognized command. The natural language interface agent consists of speech recognizer and semantic interpreter. Speech recognizer understands speech command and transforms the command into character strings. Semantic interpreter analyzes the character strings and creates the commands and questions to be transferred into the application program. We also consider the problems, related to the speech recognizer and the semantic interpreter, such as the ambiguity of natural language and the ambiguity and the errors from speech recognizer. This kind of natural language interface agent can be applied to the telephony environment involving all kind of communication media such as telephone, fax, e-mail, and so on.

This is a speculative paper, describing a recently started effort to give a formal semantics to semantic annotation schemes. Semantic annotations are intended to capture certain semantic information in a text, which means that it only makes sense to use semantic annotations if these have a well-defined semantics. In practice, however, semantic annotation schemes are used that lack any formal semantics. In this paper we outline how existing approaches to the annotation of temporal information, semantic roles, and reference relations can be integrated in a single XML-based format and can be given a formal semantics by translating them into second-order logic. This is argued to offer an incremental aproach to the incorporation of semantic information in natural language processing that does not suffer from the problems of ambiguity and lack of robustness that are common to traditional approaches to computational semantics.

The problem of visual words' synonymy and ambiguity always exist in the conventional bag of visual words (BoVW) model based object category methods. Besides, the noisy visual words, so-called "visual stop-words" will degrade the semantic resolution of visual dictionary. In view of this, a novel bag of visual words method based on PLSA and chi-square model for object category is proposed. Firstly, Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) is used to analyze the semantic co-occurrence probability of visual words, infer the latent semantic topics in images, and get the latent topic distributions induced by the words. Secondly, the KL divergence is adopt to measure the semantic distance between visual words, which can get semantically related homoionym. Then, adaptive soft-assignment strategy is combined to realize the soft mapping between SIFT features and some homoionym. Finally, the chi-square model is introduced to eliminate the "visual stop-words" and reconstruct the visual vocabulary histograms. Moreover, SVM (Support Vector Machine) is applied to accomplish object classification. Experimental results indicated that the synonymy and ambiguity problems of visual words can be overcome effectively. The distinguish ability of visual semantic resolution as well as the object classification performance are substantially boosted compared with the traditional methods.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the semantic ambiguity of coordination connected by 'and' in English and show a clear explanation for the meaning of the sentence. Two sentences which are connected by 'and' can be divided into the symmetric conjunction and the asymmetric conjunction according to its meaning. Especially, in order to explain the different meaning in the asymmetric conjunctions, we introduce the theory of presupposition and entailment, which provides the solution to the ambiguity in meaning. It can be said that presupposition and entailment can logically explain the meaning of natural language.
