My accepted paper in CIKM 2017

My paper related to NER was accepted in CIKM 2017. Its abstract is as follows:

Korean named-entity recognition (NER) systems have been developed mainly on the morphological-level, and they are commonly based on a pipeline framework that identifies named-entities (NEs) following the morphological analysis. However, this framework can mean that the performance of NER systems is degraded, because errors from the morphological analysis propagate into NER systems. This paper proposes a novel syllable-level NER system, which does not require a morphological analysis and can achieve a similar or better performance compared with the morphological-level NER systems. In addition, because the proposed system does not require a morphological analysis step, its processing speed is about 1.9 times faster than those of the previous morphological-level NER systems.

CIKM 2017 will be held in Singapore, July 6-10, 2017.

My published paper in Information Processing and Management (IPM 2017)

My paper related to Text Classification was published in Information Processing and Management (SSCI & SCIE). The title is "How to Use Negative Class Information for Naive Bayes Classification" and Its abstract is as follows:

The Naive Bayes (NB) classifier is a popular classifier for text classification problems due to its simple, flexible framework and its reasonable performance. In this paper, we present how to effectively utilize negative class information to improve NB classification. As opposed to information retrieval, supervised learning based text classification already obtains class information, a negative class as well as a positive class, from a labeled training dataset. Since the negative class can also provide significant information to improve the NB classifier, the negative class information is applied to the NB classifier through two phases of indexing and class prediction tasks. As a result, the new classifier using the negative class information consistently performs better than the traditional multinomial NB classifier.

This is the fourth manuscript about text classification using negative class information: SIGIR 2012, Pattern Recognition Letters 2015, JASIST 2015 and IPM 2017. Actually, I'm still interested in this topic so I hope that I will be able to do more studies about that.

The Basic Concept of TensorFlow

I am preparing to teach TensorFlow in my graduate course. TensorFlow is Google's open software library for machine learning. The first class is about the basic concept of TensorFlow.

Next topic is about "Practice of NNet with the MNIST data."

Spoken Language Understanding

One of my research areas is about Dialogues Systems. Nowadays, I am arranging  my work in this research into several ppt files. The following pdf file is the first summary of my work and its topic is Spoken Language Understanding (SLU).

I will try to post about Dialogue Modeling.

Multilayer Perceptron

This is my second ppt and Python code for studying Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and the Back-propagation algorithm. Actually, this will be used in my Artificial Intelligent class.
