Morphological analysis is used for searching sentences and understanding context. As most morpheme analysis methods are based on predefined dictionaries, the problem of a target word not being registered in the given morpheme dictionary, the so-called unregistered word problem, can be a major cause of reduced performance. The current practical solution of such unregistered word problem is to add them by hand-write into the given dictionary. This method is a limitation that restricts the scalability and expandability of dictionaries. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a novel method to automatically expand a dictionary by means of use-case analysis, which checks the validity of the unregistered word by exploring the use-cases through web crawling. The results show that the proposed method is a feasible one in terms of the accuracy of the validation process, the expandability of the dictionary and, after registration, the fast extraction time of morphemes.

In this paper, we proposed a dictionary extension and a ternary decomposition technique to improve the effectiveness of Khmer word segmentation. Most word segmentation approaches depend on a dictionary. However, the dictionary being used is not fully reliable and cannot cover all the words of the Khmer language. This causes an issue of unknown words or out-of-vocabulary words. Our approach is to extend the original dictionary to be more reliable with new words. In addition, we use ternary decomposition for the segmentation process. In this research, we also introduced the invisible space of the Khmer Unicode (char\u200B) in order to segment our training corpus. With our segmentation algorithm, based on ternary decomposition and invisible space, we can extract new words from our training text and then input the new words into the dictionary. We used an extended wordlist and a segmentation algorithm regardless of the invisible space to test an unannotated text. Our results remarkably outperformed other approaches. We have achieved 88.8%, 91.8% and 90.6% rates of precision, recall and F-measurement.

In this paper, we analysis the effect of a dictionary in a handwritten Hangul word recognition problem in terms of its size and the length of the words in it. With our experimental results, we can account for the word recognition rate depending not only on character recognition performance, but also much on the amount of the information that the dictionary contains, as well as the reduction rate of a dictionary.

When a Japanese learner in Korea tries to find Japanese dictionary, he must know the pronunciation of the target word. But it's not easy to know the pronunciation of target word from Japanese sentence. Because most of general Japanese sentence shows only HanJa(Chinese character) instead of Kana(Japanese alphabet). If the Japanese learner knows the Korean traditional pronunciation of the target word, he can input the word to electronic Japanese dictionary with the Korean pronunciation. For this solution, the dictionary service provider must convert the Japanese word to Korean pronunciation, in advance. After setting of the conversions as a additional searching process, we can find the target word through Korean pronunciation of the Japanese HanJa, This process is possible for the three reasons below, 1. Korean, Japanese and Chinese are using the nearly same HanJa. The difference is small. 2. Most Japanese learner in Korea, knows the Korean pronunciation of the HanJa. 3. The Korean pronunciation of the HanJa is nearly unique, a HanJa has a Korean pronunciation, generally.

Semantic Role Decision defines the semantic relationship between the predicate and the arguments in natural language processing (NLP) tasks. The semantic role information and semantic category information should be used to make Semantic Role Decisions. The Sejong Electronic Dictionary contains frame information that is used to determine the semantic roles. In this paper, we propose a method to extend the Sejong electronic dictionary using word embedding and synonyms. The same experiment is performed using existing word-embedding and retrofitting vectors. The system performance of the semantic category assignment is 32.19%, and the system performance of the extended semantic category assignment is 51.14% for words that do not appear in the Sejong electronic dictionary of the word using the word embedding. The system performance of the semantic category assignment is 33.33%, and the system performance of the extended semantic category assignment is 53.88% for words that do not appear in the Sejong electronic dictionary of the vector using retrofitting. We also prove it is helpful to extend the semantic category word of the Sejong electronic dictionary by assigning the semantic categories to new words that do not have assigned semantic categories.

In this paper, a text compression method is proposed which is capable of reducing mean bits per character by word and etymology dictionary. This dictionary consists of 256 words and 512 etymologies with 10 bits length codes. Using this dictionary, a mean rate of 3.44 bits per character is achieved.

A pre-analyzed dictionary is used to increase the speed and the accuracy of morphological analyzers and to decrease the over-generation. However, if the dictionary includes 'Insufficiently-analyzed word-phrases', which do not include all the possible analysis of the word-phrase, it may cause the decrease of the analysis accuracy. In this paper, we measure the accuracy changes according to the number of word-phrase frequency and the size changes of corpus by Sejong corpus. And performance of integrate system(SMA with pre-dictionary) is highest when sufficient analysis rate of pre-dictionary is more than 99.82%. Also pre-dictionary is constructed with word-phrase that frequency more than 32(64) when size of corpus is 1,600,000(6,300,000) word-phrase.

The Sejong Electronic(machine readable) Dictionary, which was developed by the 21 century Sejong Plan, contains a systematic of immanence information of Korean words. It helps in solving the problem of electronical presentation of a general text dictionary commonly used. Word sense disambiguation problems can also be solved using the specific information available in the Sejong Electronic Dictionary. However, the Sejong Electronic Dictionary has a limitation of suggesting structure of sentences and selection-restricted nouns. In this paper, we discuss limitations of word sense disambiguation by using subcategorization information as suggested by the Sejong Electronic Dictionary and generalize selection-restricted noun of argument using Korean Lexico-semantic network.

In this paper, we describe the design and the implementation of word clustering system using a definition of an entry word in the dictionary, called a dictionary definition. Generally word clustering needs various features like words and the performance of a system for the word clustering depends on using some kinds of features. Dictionary definition describes the meaning of an entry in detail, but words in the dictionary definition are implicative or abstractive, and then its length is not long. The word clustering using only features extracted from the dictionary definition results in a lots of small-size clusters. In order to make large-size clusters and improve the performance, we need to transform the features into more general words with keeping the original meaning of the dictionary definition as intact as possible. In this paper, we propose two methods for extending the dictionary definition using ontology. One is to extend the dictionary definition to parent words on the ontology and the other is to extend the dictionary definition to some words in fixed depth from the root of the ontology. Through our experiments, we have observed that the proposed systems outperform that without extending features, and the latter's extending method overtakes the former's extending method in performance. We have also observed that verbs are very useful in extending features in the case of word clustering.

본 연구는 의미적 정보 검색을 위한 연구 중의 하나로, 현재까지의 의미적 문서 검색에서 큰 걸림돌이었던 사전에 정의되지 않은 단어(Unknown Word)들의 어휘 사전(Lexical Dictionary)을 자동으로 생성하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 UW를 기존의 영어 어휘 사전인 워드넷(WordNet)에 정의되지 않은 단어로 간주하고, 웹 문서의 입력을 통하여 UW와 관련된 단어들을 추출하여 의미적 관련 정도를 확률적, 의미적 방법으로 측정한다. 본 논문에서는 UW Lexical Dictionary를 자동으로 구축하기 위한 방법에 대해서만 기술하였고, 정량적이고 객관적인 평가는 포함하지 않고 있다. 하지만 본 연구의 효용성을 확인하기 위한 몇 가지 문서로부터 추출된 결과는 본 연구가 상당히 의미적이며 가치가 높을 것으로 기대되고 있다.
