Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating a multilingual network based on user description,

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating a multilingual network based on user descriptions.

In general, the relationships between different languages can be defined based on the contents described in the dictionary. For example, an English word corresponding to a 'chair' of a Korean word can be expressed in English as 'chair' or 'stool' through the contents written in the Korean-English dictionary.

However, there is a problem in that a method of defining a relationship between languages through a dictionary takes time to correspond to a newly introduced word or a word whose meaning has changed, and can not be applied to a dialect, a profanity, or the like not previously described. In other words, in order to cope with the above problem, there is a need to collect new words to be updated and to recognize foreign language expressions corresponding to the collected words. have.

Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for generating a multilingual network that can provide various foreign language expressions corresponding to a single language based on a user description, not based on a dictionary.

According to one aspect of the invention, a method is provided for creating a multilingual network in a web-based service. The multi-language network generating method includes: searching for an original content identical to a content when a content is added to a service; collecting a multi-lingual description expressed in a language different from a language used by a user who added the content among descriptions of the original content And creating a relationship between the description of the content and the multilingual description.

The step of searching in the multi-language network generating method may include a step of, when the content is added in a citation manner, determining the content to be cited as the original content.

The searching step in the method for generating a multilingual network may further include determining an existing content identical to the content to be cited as the original content.

The searching step in the method for generating a multilingual network includes: searching for a content having an attribute value equal to an attribute value of the content when the content is added in a manner other than a quotation method; and determining the searched content as an original content .

In the method for generating a multi-language network, the attribute value may be a hash value of a content or a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a source.

The step of generating in the multi-language network generating method may include a step of increasing a relation value between the description of the content and the multi-lingual description using an increment function.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for creating a multilingual network in a web-based service. The multi-language network generating apparatus includes an original search unit for searching for an original content identical to a content when a content is added to a service, and a multi-lingual description expressed in a different language from a language used by a user A description collection unit for collecting the contents, and a relation setting unit for generating a relation between the description of the contents and the multilingual description.

In the multi-language network generating apparatus, when the content is added in a cited manner, the original search unit can determine the content to be cited as the original content.

In the multi-language network generating apparatus, the original search unit may determine an existing content identical to the content to be cited as the original content.

In the multi-language network generating apparatus, when the content is added by a method other than a quotation method, the original search unit can search for a content having the same attribute value as the content attribute value, and determine the searched content as the original content.

In the multi-language network generating apparatus, an attribute value may be a hash value of a content or a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a source.

In the multi-language network generating apparatus, the relation creating unit may increase a relation value between a description of a content and a multilingual description by using an increment function.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a relation value between descriptions added to a content can be set based on the identity of content, and a multilingual network can be created through a set relationship value. The user can search for the same content expressed in multiple languages through the generated multi-language network.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements as well, without excluding other elements unless specifically stated otherwise. It should be noted that terms such as " part ", "module "," module ", "block ", and the like described in the specification mean units for processing at least one function or operation, And a combination of hardware.

In recent years, a web-based service has been provided in which a user can add a content such as multimedia (photo, video) or document (pdf, html) and add a comment or description to the added content. Through this service, the user can quote the content added by another user and add a comment. Each content may be accompanied by a text describing the content, evaluation, etc., which is referred to as a 'description' of the content. The description may be a tag arbitrarily input by the user to the content, or a keyword extracted from arbitrarily inputted text. And comments, comments, comments, etc., that are added to the content by multiple users, can be comments. At this time, for each content, a content attribute such as a hash value of the content or a file identifier (Uniform Resource Locator, URL) of the source may exist.

In such a service, if a particular content is repeatedly quoted among a large number of users, a different description may be added to the content. Since these services can be provided to users in different countries, each description can be expressed in different languages, and different expressions can exist even if they are expressed in the same language.

In the present invention, a multilingual network is created by collecting descriptions of different languages added to specific contents and setting a relationship between collected descriptions. The user of the service can search contents added in various languages by the users of the world even if they search in one language through the generated multilingual network.

Meanwhile, a comment or description added to the content may constitute information about the content. At this time, the information about one content may include the following information elements.

Information [i] = {content name, {content property}, comment, {description}, language}

1 is a block diagram of an apparatus for generating a multi-language network according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus 100 for generating a multi-language network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an original search unit 110, a description collecting unit 120, and a relation setting unit 130.

The original search unit 110 searches for the same content as the new content added by the user to the service. At this time, the same content as the new content added to the service is referred to as 'original content'. The original search unit 110 can search for original content among new contents added by users all over the world.

The description collection unit 120 collects descriptions added to the searched original contents. The description collecting unit 120 collects descriptions expressed in a language different from the language of the service provided to the user from the original contents.

The relation setting unit 130 increases the relationship value between respective descriptions when there are a plurality of descriptions expressed in different languages for the original contents. At this time, the relation value between each descriptions can be increased according to the 'Increment' function. For example, the Increment function described in Equation (1) below serves to increase the relationship value between each description expressed in the first language and the second language.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating a multi-language network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, when a user adds a new content to a service (S201), the original search unit 110 determines a method of adding a content (S202). If the user of the service adds the new content through the 'citation method', the original search unit 110 determines the cited content as the original content for the new content (S203). If there is at least one existing content (referred to as 'existing content') that is determined to be the same as the content to be cited, at least one existing content is determined to be the original content for the new content (S204).

If the user of the service adds new content in a manner other than the quotation method, the original search unit 110 searches for a content having the same attribute value as the attribute value of the new content (S205) (S206).

The description collecting unit 120 collects a description from the original content determined as described above (S207). That is, if there is at least one original content, the description collecting unit 120 collects a description expressed in a language different from the language used by the user among the descriptions added to the original content. Then, the relation setting unit 130 increases the relationship value between the description of the original content and the description of the new content using the Inc function (S208).

In the multilingual network generating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the same content as the new content is searched through the above method, and the relationship value between the multilingual description of the searched content and the description of the new content is increased to thereby create a multilingual network . Thereafter, when the user searches for a keyword expressed in one language, the user can provide the search result to the user by using the relationship value between the multilingual descriptions stored in the multilingual network (using the Find function and Find2 function described below).

That is, the web-based service according to the embodiment of the present invention can select at least one representative information related to the keyword of the user and determine another description related to the description of representative information selected in the multilingual network.

In a web-based service according to an embodiment of the present invention, a 'Relation function' can be used when a relation value between descriptions described in two different languages is grasped. The Relation function is expressed by Equation (2).

In the Relation function, Language 1 and Language 2 may be omitted in some cases.

The 'Find function' or 'Find2 function' can be used when the web-based service searches a plurality of multilingual descriptions related to the description of the representative information. When retrieving a plurality of multilingual descriptions, the relation value between two descriptions is obtained through the Rel function, and the relation values obtained through the 'Find function' or 'Find2 function' are sorted in order of magnitude and the result is returned. The Find function is expressed by Equation (3).

In this case, the Find function can return the top n multilingual descriptions having the description and representative value information of the representative information in the search result.

The 'Find2 function' can be used when the web-based service searches for a specific multilanguage description related to the description of the representative information. The Find2 function is shown in Equation (4).

In this case, the Find2 function can return the description of the representative information among the description of the specific language and the top n multilingual descriptions having a high relation value in the search result.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, a relation value between descriptions added to contents can be set based on the identity of contents, and a multilingual network can be created through a set relation value. The user can search for the same content expressed in multiple languages through the generated multi-language network.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It belongs to the scope of right.
