Previous work on Korean language processing has proposed different basic segmentation units. This paper explores different possible dependency representations for Korean using different levels of segmentation granularity — that is, different schemes for morphological segmentation of tokens into syntactic words. We provide a new Universal Dependencies (UD)-like corpus based on different levels o...

The present study was performed to identify the susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the prediction of Korean type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to clarify the matrilineal origin of Korean T2DM‑specific SNPs. Fourteen SNPs from the adiponectin (ADIPOQ), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 and glucokinase genes in the Korean population were analyz...

This could reduce wine consumption in Korea and critically influence the future growth of the Korean wine market. Therefore, this study aims to develop Korean food and wine pairing criteria by examining the adaptability of food and wine...
