Abstract:
An apparatus and method for efficiently constructing learning data required in statistical methodology used in information retrieval, information extraction, translation, natural language processing, etc. are provided. The method includes the steps of: generating learning models by performing machine learning with respect to learning data; attaching tags to a raw corpus automatically by using the generated learning models to thereby generate learning data candidates; calculating confidence scores of the generated learning data candidates, and then selecting a learning data candidate using the confidence scores; and allowing a user to correct an error in the selected learning data candidate through an interface and adding the error-corrected learning data candidate to the learning data, thereby adding new learning models incrementally.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method for post-processing a dialogue error in a speech dialogue system using multilevel verification, in which both of a user's current utterance and a whole dialogue flow are taken into account through the multilevel verification including speech recognition results analysis, linguistic analysis, discourse analysis and dialogue analysis. As a result, various errors that may occur in the speech dialogue system are detected, and error post-processing appropriate to a detected error type is performed, so that speech recognition errors may be reduced.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for providing information according to a user's request, and more particularly, an interactive information providing service method and apparatus for analyzing a user's request and providing information corresponding to the request on the basis of a dialog input received from the user. The apparatus includes: a conversation sentence analyzer for analyzing an input sentence received from a user; a conversation manager for analyzing the user's request using an analysis result of the conversation sentence analyzer; a real-time automatic knowledge builder for extracting in real time daily information updated on the web and storing the information in a daily information database when there is a real-time information update request from the conversation manager; a response generator for generating a response to the user's request analyzed by the conversation manager and providing the response to the user; and an exception handler for allowing the user to cancel his/her request and restoring the system when it is not possible to respond to the user's request, or when there is an error in the response to the user's request. On the basis of dialog input, the method and apparatus analyze a user's request and provide information corresponding to the request, thereby enabling the user to easily obtain needed information.
Abstract:
A topic map based indexing apparatus analyzes community Q/A lists to acquire Q/A analysis information, removes redundant answers depending on the Q/A analysis information, removes insignificant answers based on the degree of reliability, ranks answer lists, and extracts the highest ranking answer as a best answer, to thereby store, in a community Q/A topic map, index information containing the community Q/A lists and the Q/A analysis information. A topic map based searching apparatus analyzes a user question to acquire question analysis information, searches similar questions from community Q/A lists belonging to a specific topic node of a pre-stored community Q/A topic map, ranks the searched similar questions depending on the question analysis information, removes redundant answers among answers to the ranked similar questions, ranks the answers, and extracts the highest ranking answer as a best answer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a system for providing a broadcast service and a method for providing a broadcast service. An example of the method for providing a broadcast service includes receiving a broadcast signal including broadcast contents and side information to provide the broadcast contents; reading out at least one of objects from question data that is input regarding the broadcast contents and primarily analyzing the read-out object to read out a subject of the question data; searching a social media site and collecting social media data relating to the subject from the searched social media site; secondarily analyzing the social media data and the side information in the broadcast signal on the basis of the subject; and configuring answer data corresponding to the subject using the analysis result and providing the answer data, and provides information which is extended and varied in real time.
Abstract:
Provided are a context information sharing apparatus and method for providing an intelligent service by sharing context information between one or more terminals. The method includes collecting, at one or more terminals, user behavior-based preference information including user log information about each terminal and sensor-based context information, storing, at the one or more terminals, the collected preference information and context information in each terminal as a database, receiving, at a first terminal, a context information collection request for a target user group and identifying the target user group, collecting, at the first terminal, context information about at least one terminal included in the identified target user group, and providing, at the first terminal, preference information about the target user group extracted on the basis of the collected context information about the target user group to a user.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a voice-based mobile search apparatus and method, and, more particularly, to a voice-based mobile search apparatus and method, which can present optimized search results suitable for a mobile status while allowing a user to conveniently use a search service in a mobile environment. The voice-based mobile search apparatus according to the present invention includes a voice recognition unit for recognizing a user's voice transferred through a mobile terminal and then receiving a query. A status information collection unit collects status information of the mobile terminal and profile information of the user. An answer search unit searches a knowledge base based on the query, and extracts short answers matching the query. An answer provision unit processes the short answers in conformity with the status information of the mobile terminal and the profile information of the user, and provides the processed short answers.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for measuring a distance between an object and a user using a camera module. According to the method, when the camera module is driven, a zooming function is performed to examine whether an image is formed on an image device. When the zooming function is completed, a focusing function is performed to examine whether focusing is adjusted. When focusing is adjusted, a focal length “f” and a distance “b” between a lens and the image device are calculated. Thereafter, a distance “a” between an object and a user is calculated and displayed using a lens Equation. Since a distance between a desired object and a user can be measured only using a zoom function and a focusing function of an existing camera module without a separate distance measurement device, the distance between the desired object and a user can be easily measured without increase in a volume of an apparatus or manufacturing costs.
