  • Recent years have seen active research on methods for efficiently processing and interpreting large volumes of data in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. One of these data processing technologies, Vector Symbolic Architecture (VSA), offers an innovative approach to representing complex symbols and data using high-dimensional vectors. VSA has garnered particular attention in various applications such as natural language processing, image recognition, and robotics. This study quantitatively evaluates the characteristics and performance of VSA methodologies by applying five VSA methodologies to the MNIST dataset and measuring key performance indicators such as encoding speed, decoding speed, memory usage, and recovery accuracy across different vector lengths. BSC and VT demonstrated relatively fast performance in encoding and decoding speeds, while MAP and HRR were relatively slow. In terms of memory usage, BSC was the most efficient, whereas MAP used the most memory. The recovery accuracy was highest for MAP and lowest for BSC. The results of this study provide a basis for selecting appropriate VSA methodologies depending on the application area.

  • Recently, use of foreign models and foreign language in advertising is a general trend in Korea even though the effect has not been well-known..Most of the previous research shows rather an opposite effect claiming marketing communication is more effective when higher congruity between marketing communication and consumer's cultural values are achieved. However, the introduction of global culture due to the expansion of new media such as Internet or cable television makes the congruity not the best choice of marketing strategy. In addition, use of highly attractive models in advertising to increase the effect of advertising is general. However, recent studies show that targeted women audience tend to compare themselves to the highly attractive models and do experience negative sentiment. Bower (2001) proved the difference between 'comparer' and 'noncomparer' when women face highly attractive models. The results show that a comparer who has an intention to compare highly attractive model (HAM) with herself has a significantly negative effect on model expertise, product argument, product evaluation and buying intention. Therefore, HAM is not always a good choice and model attractiveness plays a role in the processing other cues or changing the advertising effect from result of processing other cues. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the use of foreign language on the advertising response of the audience with regard of the model attractiveness. For the empirical study, the virtual advertising using foreign models (HAM, NAM), brand names and slogans(Korean, English) were used as stimuli. The respondents of each stimulus were 75('HAM-Korean'), 75('NAM-Korean'), 66('HAM-English') and 66 ('NAM-English') respectively. To establish the effect of marketing communication, the attitude for media(AM), the attitude for product(AP), targetedness(TD), overall quality(OQ), and purchase intention(PI) with 7 point likert scale were measured. The manipulation was verified to check the difference between HAM attractiveness assessment (m=3.27) and NAM attractiveness assessment (m=5.12). The mean difference was statiscally significant (p<.05). As a result, all consequences were significantly changed with model attractiveness, and overall quality evaluation(OQ) were significantly changed with language. The interaction effect from model attractiveness and language was significant on attitude toward the product(AP) and purchase intention(PI). To analyze the difference, the mean values and standard deviation of consequences were compared. The result was more positive when model attractiveness was high for all consequences. For language effect, the assessment was more positive when English was used for OQ. Considering model attractiveness and language simultaneously, HAM-Korean was more positive for AP and PI, and NAM-English was more positive for AP and PI. In other words, the interaction effect was confirmed by model attractiveness and language. As mentioned above, use of foreign models and foreign language in advertising was explained by cultural match up hypothesis (Leclerc et al. 1994) which claimed that culture of origin effect. In other words, in advertising, use of same cultural language with the foreign model could make positive assessment for OQ. But this effect was moderated by model attractiveness. When the model attractiveness was low, the use of English makes PI high because of the effect of foreign language which supported the cultural match up hypothesis. When the model attractiveness was low, the use of Korean made AP and PI high because the effect of foreign language was diluted. It was a general notion that the visual cues got processed before (Holbrook and Moore, 1981; Sholl et al, 1995) compared to linguistic cues. Therefore, when consumers were faced HAM, so much perception was already consumed at processing visual cues making their native language of Korean to strongly and positively connected with the advertising concept. On the contrary, when consumers were faced with NAM, less perception was consumed compared to HAM, making English to accompany cultural halo effect which affected more positively. Therefore, when foreign models were employed in advertising, the language must be carefully selected according to the level of model attractiveness.

  • This study is to analyze the dual language and hybrid identity of the students of Daegu Chinese Middle.High School. Such a phenomenon is being produced and changed at the site or zone of meeting different or conflict factors such as Chinese and Korean. The Chinese Korean students had learned Korean from their mother and her relative at a young age, and their dual and complex language habit was produced due to the learning of Chinese from father and his relative. A large number of the students were educated at a Korean kindergarten, but they were formally learned Chinese and China's society and culture at a Korean Chinese school after primary school. The Chinese Korean students talk with parents, brother and sister, teacher, friend and neighbor at home, school and local by Chinese and/or Korean. They use a dual language of Chinese and Korean based on various situations, but they do not particularly distinguished both language in cognition. The students have a hybrid identity of simultaneously recognizing Chinese and Korean. But some of them think Chinese or Korean. It is necessary for the results of this study to be objectified from the following research on the students of Chinese Middle・High School in Seoul, Incheon and Busan.

  • The purpose of this study is to discuss the implicit meaning of advertising content with highly persuasive language formats from a communication perspective and its interpretation process in relation to communication education, while simultaneously developing interpretative codes for media literacy education in modern society. For a successful discussion, I assumed the narrative content of advertising content that implements a special purpose as a general conversational act, and raised the issue anew that regularity exists for implicit semantic expressions. It also said that in order for media literacy education in the present society to proceed correctly, linguistic interpretations of implicit meaning cannot be guided as a principle of communication in prior research. As a solution, we confirm that socio-cultural sharing knowledge and recognition are essential interpretation codes. For further discussion, the analysis of advertising media languages with special purposes in terms of language usage was conducted to verify the process of interpreting the implicit meaning shown in them. After analyzing the implicit advertising language that I arbitrarily typified, I found that the linguistic meaning implicit with the intention of persuading the speaker can be provided mostly as media literacy education as a framework for analysis by various information and cognitive effects. In other words, acceptors should not perform only literal interpretations in the process of interpreting the implicit meaning inherent in the media language. If guided by including native language materials and background knowledge, socio-cultural customs, and general common knowledge, efficient media literacy education can be expected.

  • The first purpose of the present study is to investigate the way of displaying English words to facilitate phonological loops on the digital screen, and the second purpose is to test whether or not the more effective display type can increase learning rates equally in both low and high foreign language motivation group. To achieve these aims, two experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 showed that 3 times display condition generated higher performances in recall and recognition test than 1 time display condition did. In Experiment 2, we recruited high motivated group and low motivated group in foreign language learning, and assigned each member into 3 times display condition and self-pace condition. The results of Experiment 2 showed that the performance in the low motivated group was higher in the self-pace condition than in 3 times display condition, while this difference was not found in high motivated group. The present results suggest the display type increasing usage of phonological loops in digital screen environments.

  • In recent years, researchers have become increasingly interested in the creation and pedagogical use of English learner corpora. Many studies have shown that learner corpora can not only make a significant contribution to second language acquisition research but also contribute to the construction and evaluation of language tests by advancing our understanding of English learners. So far, however, little attention has been paid to the Korean EFL (English as a foreign language) learners' corpus. The Yonsei English Learner Corpus (YELC 2011) is a specialized, monolingual, and synchronic Korean EFL learner corpus that was developed by Yonsei University from 2011 to 2012. Over 3,000 Korean high school graduates (or equivalents) who were accepted by Yonsei University for their further studies participated in this project. It consists of 6,572 written texts (1,085,828 words) at nine different English proficiency levels. In this paper, we describe its compilation, and more specifically, how we have corpusized from a text archive to a corpus. After introducing the process of corpusization, we report arresting insights into the specific linguistic features that different proficiency levels of Korean learners of English have. This study also discusses the potential use of the YELC 2011 which is now freely available for research purposes.

  • In accordance with wide spread of personal computer and the expansion of network access, the use of internet has been popular and communication by text message is much more normal than that of voice and image. Accordingly, the side effect of communication language brings about gap between diverse social class, the isolation of communication between generations, abusive expressions, obstacles of juvenile mental development and so on. It appears by the form of slang and vulgar word and has a negative effect on education of mother tongue and usage of children's real language. To deal with these problems, we developed new web-based education system through the analysis of learners' requirement; "Barun Mal, Goeun Mal class". So we verified its efficiency to apply to real class. We also found that this system increased the learners' interest and educational effectiveness. Also, this system contributed to the proper use of language.

  • Computational thinking with programming skills has been widely emphasized for future industrial engineering researchers and practitioners in Industry 4.0. However, industrial engineering students still have limited opportunities to improve their computational thinking abilities during university coursework. In this regard, this research study proposes to use Python programming language for teaching classical Industrial Engineering subjects. For a specific case study, we designed and instructed an Engineering Economy lecture which cultivates the concept and techniques of economic analysis for engineering students. During the class, we introduced the usage of several Python libraries that include numpy-financial for basic financial functions, numpy and scipy for simple numerical computation and analysis, and matplotlib for data visualization. Anonymous class evaluation survey showed the effectiveness of the proposed teaching method in terms of both educational satisfaction and contents delivery. Finally, we found additional needs for providing lectures that adopt the similar teaching style to the proposed method.
