In this paper, we propose a framework for ontological knowledge-based image understanding systems. Ontology composed of concepts can be used as a guide for describing objects from a specific domain of interest and describing relations between objects from different domains The proposed framework consists of four main subparts ⅰ) ontological knowledge bases, ⅱ) primitive feature detectors, ⅲ) concept inference engine, and ⅳ) semantic inference engine. Using ontological knowledge bases on various domains and features extracted from the detectors, concept inference engine infers concepts on regions of interest in an image and semantic inference engine reasons semantic situations between concepts from different domains. We present a outline for ontological knowledge-based image understanding systems and application examples within specific domains such as text recognition and human recognition in order to show the validity of the proposed system.

The Semantic Web is an evolving extension of the WWW in which the semantics of information and services on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content. The sementic web relied on the ontologies that structure underling data for the purpose of comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. The Semantic Web relies on the ontologies that structure underlying data for the purpose of comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. And recommendation systems have been developed as a solution to the abundance of choice people face in many situations. This paper shows that the new recommendation method is suitable for effective recommendation on the semantic web. We present a new procedure for improving the effective recommendation by using the levelized context ontology. Our experimental results also confirm that our method has good recommendation time. Our proposed method can be generalized to fit other application domains.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been emerging out of the efforts to research human diseases and ethnic disparities. A semantic network is needed for in-depth understanding of the impacts of SNPs, because phenotypes are modulated by complex networks, including biochemical and physiological pathways. We identified ethnicity-specific SNPs by eliminating overlapped SNPs from HapMap samples, and the ethnicity-specific SNPs were mapped to the UCSC RefGene lists. Ethnicity-specific genes were identified as follows: 22 genes in the USA (CEU) individuals, 25 genes in the Japanese (JPT) individuals, and 332 genes in the African (YRI) individuals. To analyze the biologically functional implications for ethnicity-specific SNPs, we focused on constructing a semantic network model. Entities for the network represented by "Gene," "Pathway," "Disease," "Chemical," "Drug," "ClinicalTrials," "SNP," and relationships between entity-entity were obtained through curation. Our semantic modeling for ethnicity-specific SNPs showed interesting results in the three categories, including three diseases ("AIDS-associated nephropathy," "Hypertension," and "Pelvic infection"), one drug ("Methylphenidate"), and five pathways ("Hemostasis," "Systemic lupus erythematosus," "Prostate cancer," "Hepatitis C virus," and "Rheumatoid arthritis"). We found ethnicity-specific genes using the semantic modeling, and the majority of our findings was consistent with the previous studies - that an understanding of genetic variability explained ethnicity-specific disparities.

개념간의 의미적 유사도 및 관계도(Semantic Similarity/Relatedness)를 구하는 연구는 고전적인 연구에서는 데이터 베이스 통합이나 시스템 통합, 그리고 현대의 연구에 있어서는 태그 및 키워드 추출, 연관 단어 추천 등에 걸쳐 다양한 분야에서 활용되어 온 연구이다. 그 연구는 역사가 오래되었을 뿐만 아니라, 경영정보와 컴퓨터 공학, 계산 언어학에 걸쳐 여러 분야에서도 많은 관심을 가져왔던 연구 분야라고 할 수 있다. 그러나, 지금까지의 개념간의 관계도 계산 방식은 미리 만들어진 사전이나 참조할 수 있는 다른 시맨틱 네트워크(Semantic Network)를 이용하여 계산하는 방법이 주를 이루었다. 이러한 접근 방법의 경우, 개념간의 의미적 관계가 변화에 대한 가능성을 고려하지 않는 것이 일반적이다. 하지만, 정보 기술의 발달과 빠른 사회변화는 개념간의 의미관계 등에 변화를 가져오고 있는 것이 현실이다. 사회적으로 일어나는 사건이나, 문화적 변화 등이 개념간의 의미관계를 변화시키는 것을 물론이며, 이러한 변화가 정보 통신 기술의 도움으로 빠르게 공유되고 있다. 이렇게 개념간의 의미 관계가 시간이나 맥락에 따라 빠르게 변화할 수 있는 가능성이 있음에도 불구하고, 기존의 개념간 의미적 유사도 및 관계도에 대한 연구들은 이러한 '의미관계의 변화'에 대한 새로운 문제에 대해 해답을 제시하지 못한 것이 사실이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 개념간의 유사도 연구에 있어 지금까지 있어왔던 '정적인 의미간 관계도 패러다임'에서 '동적인 의미간 관계도 패러다임'으로의 전환의 필요성과 그 당위성을 인지 의미론적(Cognitive Semantics)의 관점에서 역설하고자 한다. 인간이 인지하는 개념간의 의미관계가 변화할 수 있는 이론적 근거를 인지 의미론에서 찾아봄으로써, 패러다임 변화의 방향을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 또한 이러한 패러다임의 변화에 맞추어 개념간의 의미적 유사도 및 관계도에 대한 연구가 어떠한 방향으로 나아가야 할지 구체적인 연구 방향을 제시함으로써 관련 연구자들에게 새로운 연구의 가이드라인을 제시하였다.

In recent years, the research of 3D mapping technique in urban environments obtained by mobile robots equipped with multiple sensors for recognizing the robot's surroundings is being studied actively. However, the map generated by simple integration of multiple sensors data only gives spatial information to robots. To get a semantic knowledge to help an autonomous mobile robot from the map, the robot has to convert low-level map representations to higher-level ones containing semantic knowledge of a scene. Given a 3D point cloud of an urban scene, this research proposes a method to recognize the objects effectively using 3D graph model for autonomous mobile robots. The proposed method is decomposed into three steps: sequential range data acquisition, normal vector estimation and incremental graph-based segmentation. This method guarantees the both real-time performance and accuracy of recognizing the objects in real urban environments. Also, it can provide plentiful data for classifying the objects. To evaluate a performance of proposed method, computation time and recognition rate of objects are analyzed. Experimental results show that the proposed method has efficiently in understanding the semantic knowledge of an urban environment.

To solve the problem that existing computing methods cannot adequately represent the semantic features of sentences, Siamese TRAT, a semantic feature extraction model based on Transformer encoder is proposed. The transformer model is used to fully extract the semantic information within sentences and carry out deep semantic coding for sentences. In addition, the interactive attention mechanism is introduced to extract the similar features of the association between two sentences, which makes the model better at capturing the important semantic information inside the sentence. As a result, it improves the semantic understanding and generalization ability of the model. The experimental results show that the proposed model can improve the accuracy significantly for the semantic similarity calculation task of English and Chinese, and is more effective than the existing methods.

The increasing interest in big data analysis using various data mining techniques indicates that many commercial data mining tools now need to be equipped with fundamental text analysis modules. The most essential prerequisite for accurate analysis of text documents is an understanding of the exact semantics of each term in a document. The main difficulties in understanding the exact semantics of terms are mainly attributable to homonym and synonym problems, which is a traditional problem in the natural language processing field. Some major text mining tools provide a thesaurus to solve these problems, but a thesaurus cannot be used to resolve complex synonym problems. Furthermore, the use of a thesaurus is irrelevant to the issue of homonym problems and hence cannot solve them. In this paper, we propose a semantic text mining methodology that uses ontologies to improve the quality of text mining results by resolving the semantic ambiguity caused by homonym and synonym problems. We evaluate the practical applicability of the proposed methodology by performing a classification analysis to predict customer churn using real transactional data and Q&A articles from the "S" online shopping mall in Korea. The experiments revealed that the prediction model produced by our proposed semantic text mining method outperformed the model produced by traditional text mining in terms of prediction accuracy such as the response, captured response, and lift.

Understanding how the topic evolves is an important and challenging task. A topic usually consists of multiple related events, and the accurate identification of event evolution relationship plays an important role in topic evolution analysis. Existing research has used the traditional vector space model to represent the event, which cannot be used to accurately compute the semantic similarity between events. This has led to poor performance in identifying event evolution relationship. This paper suggests constructing a semantic aspect-based vector space model to represent the event: First, use hierarchical Dirichlet process to mine the semantic aspects. Then, construct a semantic aspect-based vector space model according to these aspects. Finally, represent each event as a point and measure the semantic relatedness between events in the space. According to our evaluation experiments, the performance of our proposed technique is promising and significantly outperforms the baseline methods.

This paper introduces an approach to semantic mapping using Product ontology for CPC environment. In CPC environment, it is necessary that the participants in a product life cycle should share the same understanding about the semantic of product terms. For example, they should know that although 'COMPONENT' and 'ITEM' are different word-expressions, they could have the same meaning. In order to handle such terms in the information system, it is desirable that the system automatically recognizes that the terms have the same semantics. Serving this purpose, we described an ontology design methodology using first order logic, knowledge interchange format, and knowledge engineering process. In our approach, we investigated domain knowledge of the Bill Of Material, and then designed Product ontology of it. Based on the ontology, we described syntactic translation, semantic translation, and semantic mapping procedure with an example.

Spoken dialog tasks incur many errors including speech recognition errors, understanding errors, and even dialog management errors. These errors create a big gap between the user's intention and the system's understanding, which eventually results in a misinterpretation. To fill in the gap, people in human-to-human dialogs try to clarify the major causes of the misunderstanding to selectively correct them. This paper presents a method of clarification techniques to human-to-machine spoken dialog systems. We viewed the clarification dialog as a two-step problem-Belief confirmation and Clarification strategy establishment. To confirm the belief, we organized the clarification process into three systematic phases. In the belief confirmation phase, we consider the overall dialog system's processes including speech recognition, language understanding and semantic slot and value pairs for clarification dialog management. A clarification expert is developed for establishing clarification dialog strategy. In addition, we proposed a new design of plugging clarification dialog module in a given expert based dialog system. The experiment results demonstrate that the error verifiers effectively catch the word and utterance-level semantic errors and the clarification experts actually increase the dialog success rate and the dialog efficiency.
