Prof. Park visitied the University of Dundee on March 16, 2011 and gave an invited talk in the Research Seminar as follows:

Title: Quality of Life Technology for the Aurally Challenged and for the Aged
  
Abstract: 
Textual and spoken information is much widespread and ever expanding, but the consequent information divide is also quite serious, especially if we are challenged. We must also face it sooner or later as we age, though the precise nature of how well we adapt to this changing situation depends on the individual severity of declining brain functions with age, possibly coupled with symptoms such as dementia. In the first part of my seminar, I will introduce our on-going effort for the linguistic analysis and computational generation of sign language expressions for the aurally challenged. In the second part, I will describe our team effort to assess and help patients with declining brain functions by a synergistic and clinical integration of multiple-modal techniques, such as computational geometry, natural language processing, virtual reality and computer haptics, as members of a recently founded Systems Biomedical Research Centre, where I work as a group leader. Time permitting, I will prelude the second part of my talk briefly with descriptions of our past and on-going work on biomedical text mining and management.

[Announcement] 1st CALBC Workshop

News Announcements Published March 29, 2010

The first CALBC ("Collaborative annotation of a large-scale biomedical corpus") workshop is to be held in 19/20 April 2010 at EBI (European Bioinformatics Institute, U.K.).

Location: European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, Cambridge, U.K.
Date: 19/20 April 2010

The CALBC project is creating a broadly-scoped and diversely annotated corpus (several 100,000 Medline abstracts on immunology annotated with about a dozen semantic groups) by automatically integrating the annotations from different named entity recognition and concept identification systems. The result of the integration process will be a silver standard corpus (SSC).

The CALBC challenge, announced earlier to deal with biomedical named entity recognition (NER) and identification of entities, is now closed. At the CALBC workshop, participants of will discuss the outcome of the challenge. The CALBC project partner will explain in detail previous work on the corpus and will present the results from the challenge. Participants will present their work to meet the demands of the challenge.

The CALBC workshop offers the unique opportunity to learn more about this unusual approach to generate a large-scale annotated corpus. One highlight is the session about the exploitation of the scientific literature in Semantic Web applications. The workshop participants and members of the pharmaceutical industry will discuss how Semantic Web applications will profit from semantic enrichment of the scientific literature (as provided from the harmonised CALBC corpus).

LBM is an interdisciplinary forum that brings together researchers in biology, chemistry, medicine, public health and informatics to discuss and exploit cutting edge language technology. Language, in its many forms, is the universal means to represent, question, and convey knowledge. Likewise applied technologies such as information extraction, summarization, and translation are key technologies for advancing biomedical research and healthcare provision. The automation of all these solutions empowers our ability to discover new knowledge.

HCI International 2009 참관 및 발표 후기

News Conferences Published July 22, 2009

2009년 7월 22일부터 24일까지 San Diego에서 있었던 HCI International 2009 학술대회에 참석하여 발표 및 학회 참관을 하고 돌아왔습니다.이번에 발표를 하면서 음성합성에 관련된 부분에 초점을 맞춰서 발표자료를 만들었었는데, 학회에 오셨던 분들은 이 외에도 감정 음성합성 시스템이 활용될 수 있는 분야나 evaluation 방법, evaluation 결과 등에도 많은 관심을 보이셨었습니다. 학회 발표 시간이 15분으로 짧기도 했었지만 이러한 관심사에 대해서 미리 알고 있었다면 좀 더 적극적인 발표가 될 수 있었을 것으로 생각되었습니다.이번 학회의 경우에는 많은 사람들이 데모를 위주로 발표를 하였는데, 학회 발표에서는 논문에 나와있는 내용을 자세하게 설명하기 보다는 사람들의 관심을 끌 수 있게 이러한 데모 시스템을 활용하는 것도 좋은 방법이라고 생각되었습니다. 또한 이러한 데모 시스템을 바탕으로하여 실제 생활에서 테스트를 하고 상용화 단계 바로 직전까지 완성을 목표로 많은 연구가 진행되는 것을 확인할 수 있었습니다.관심있게 본 내용은 노약자(특히 elderly)에 대한 연구가 눈에 띄게 많이 진행되고 있었다는 것과, 수화와 관련된 연구도 미국과 유럽 등지에서 많이 연구되고 있다는 것이었습니다. 실제 발표를 하시는 분 중에서도 수화로 의사소통을 하시는 분이 계셨었는데, 이 분의 발표 세션에는 수화 통역사가 계셔서 그 분의 수화 표현을 영어로 통역해 주셨었습니다.
