| Profile |
My study field is natural language pocessing and its applications. I have long been interested in the scope and meaning of letter strings, not only in Japanese but also translation tasks. My main research theme is unknown word recognition such as proper nouns, technical terms, embedded foreign phrases, and teen slang phrases. My research also includes emotion recognition, polarity estimation, machine translation, summarization, and automatic recommendation. |
| Research Field(Keyword & Summary) |
- (1) Unknown word recognition
The word "unknown" means "not available" in natural language processing, such as the words which are not included in the dictionaries so that computers can not recognize. There are plenty of these words, not only proper nouns but also technical terms, foreign phrases, slang phrases and other newly-created phrases. Recognition of a meaningful unknown string of letters itself is not a difficult task, and my research focuses on the extraction of string data such as the meaning of the phrases, original language, part-of-speech tags and the main usage. The results of these research tasks are expected to improve the accuracy of various tasks.
- (2) Emotion/polarity estimation
Many texts, novels and social media messages for instance, show emotional signs. Emotion recognition enables to use these emotional signs for the better understanding of the texts. We may need to concentrate on the polarity rather than emotional signs for some kinds of texts such as reviews and comments for automatic recommendation. Our goal includes a better representation of emotions and polarity, and their changes in the texts.
