This paper describes our ongoing Korean-Chinese machine translation system, which is based on verb patterns. A verb pattern consists of a source language pattern part for analysis and a target language pattern part for generation. Knowledge description on lexical level makes it easy to achieve accurate analyses and natural, correct generation. These features are very important and effective in ...

This paper describes our approach to English-Korean and English-Chinese transliteration task of NEWS 2015. We use different grapheme segmentation approaches on source and target languages to train several transliteration models based on the M2M-aligner and DirecTL+, a string transduction model. Then, we use two reranking techniques based on string similarity and web co-occurrence to select the ...

One of the main difficulties in Chinese-Korean cross-language information retrieval is to translate named entities (NE) in queries. Unlike common words, most NE’s are not found in bilingual dictionaries. This paper presents a pattern-based method of finding NE translations online. The most important feature of our system is that patterns are generated and weighed automatically, saving considera...

This article includes the description of data information from a visual word rhyming judgment task in native Korean, native Chinese and native English speakers. You will find fMRI data information including experimental design, MRI protocol, and brain activation results from a conjunction analysis of the three groups of subjects. Other results from the same study were published in "How does lan...

Hummingbird submitted ranked result sets for the Chinese, Japanese and Korean Single Language Information Retrieval subtasks of the Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval Task of the 5th NII-NACSIS Test Collection for IR Systems Workshop (NTCIR-5). For short Chinese (title) queries, a decompounded wordbased approach produced higher (statistically significant) mean average precision and first relev...

We propose a simple method to make a dictionary using intermediate means, taking advantage of accessible resources such as Englishto-X dictionaries and X-to-English dictionaries. Also, we focus on how we can improve the existing method to generate Korean-to-Japanese dictionary automatically. Since Korean and Japanese share Chinese characters for the majority of words, we use them as well. We ar...

We compared the DNA sequence difference of isolates of Clonorchis sinensis from one Korean (Kimhae) and two Chinese areas (Guangxi and Shenyang). The sequences of nuclear rDNA (18S, internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2: ITS1 and ITS2) and mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1: cox1) were compared. A very few intraspecific nucleotide substitution of the 18S, ITS1, ITS2 and cox1 was fo...

There are various hypotheses on dog domestication based on archeological and genetic studies. Although many studies have been conducted on the origin of dogs, the existing literature about the ancestry, diversity, and population structure of Korean dogs is sparse. Therefore, this study is focused on the origin, diversity and population structure of Korean dogs. The study sample comprised four m...

This paper describes our first participation in an evaluation campaign involving three Asian languages (NTCIR-4). Our project has three objectives: 1) to compare the retrieval performances of eleven IR models used to carry out monolingual retrievals with these languages; 2) to analyze the relative merit of various freely available translation tools used to translate English-language topics into...
