PURPOSE To compare the clinicopathological data and long-term survival of gastric cancer patients in China and Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who had undergone gastrectomy for gastric cancer between 1998 and 2009 in 2 high-volume institutions in both China (n=1,637) and Korea (n=2,231) were retrospectively evaluated. Clinicopathological variables, overall survival (OS), progression-fre...

This paper introduces a Korean-Chinese-Japanese wordnet for nouns, verbs and adjectives. This wordnet is constructed based on a hierarchy of shared semantic categories originated from NTT Goidaikei (Hierarchical Lexical System). The Korean wordnet has been constructed by mapping a semantic category to each Korean word sense in a way that maps the same semantic hierarchy to the meanings of nouns...

A Chinese-Japanese-Korean wordnet is introduced. It is constructed based on a shared semantic hierarchy that is originated from NTT Goidaikei (Lexical Hierarchical System). Korean wordnet was constructed through the semantic category assignment to every sense of Korean words in a dictionary. Verbs and adjectives’ senses are assigned to the same semantic hierarchy as that of nouns. Each sense of...

In this paper, we present a way of translating Korean words to Chinese using Chinese character information. A mapping table of Korean and Chinese characters is constructed and used to obtain possible combinations as translation candidates. The candidates are ranked by the combination score which accounts for the possibility of the character combination and context similarity score, which indica...
