Building Korean linguistic resource for NLU data generation of banking app CS dialog system

Natural language understanding (NLU) is integral to task-oriented dialog systems, but demands a considerable amount of annotated training data to increase the coverage of diverse utterances. In this study, we report the construction of a linguistic resource named FIAD (Financial Annotated Dataset) and its use to generate a Korean annotated training data for NLU in the banking customer service (CS) domain. By an empirical examination of a corpus of banking app reviews, we identified three linguistic patterns occurring in Korean request utterances: TOPIC (ENTITY, FEATURE), EVENT, and DISCOURSE MARKER. We represented them in LGGs (Local Grammar Graphs) to generate annotated data covering diverse intents and entities. To assess the practicality of the resource, we evaluate the performances of DIET-only (Intent: 0.91 /Topic [entity+feature]: 0.83), DIET+ HANBERT (I:0.94/T:0.85), DIET+ KoBERT (I:0.94/T:0.86), and DIET+ KorBERT (I:0.95/T:0.84) models trained on FIAD-generated data to extract various types of semantic items.

DECO-MWE: building a linguistic resource of Korean multiword expressions for feature-based sentiment analysis

This paper aims to construct a linguistic resource of Korean Multiword Expressions for Feature-Based Sentiment Analysis (FBSA): DECO-MWE. Dealing with multiword expressions (MWEs) has been a critical issue in FBSA since many constructs reveal lexical idiosyncrasy. To construct linguistic resources of sentiment MWEs efficiently, we utilize the Local Grammar Graph (LGG) methodology: DECO-MWE is formalized as a Finite-State Transducer that represents lexical-syntactic restrictions on MWEs. In this study, we built a corpus of cosmetics review texts, which show particularly frequent occurrences of MWEs. Based on an empirical examination of the corpus, four types of MWEs have been distinguished. The DECO-MWE thus covers the following four categories: Standard Polarity MWEs (SMWEs), Domain-Dependent Polarity MWEs (DMWEs), Compound Named Entity MWEs (EMWEs) and Compound Feature MWEs (FMWEs). The retrieval performance of the DECO-MWE shows 0.806 f-measure in the test corpus. This study brings a twofold outcome: first, a sizeable general-purpose polarity MWE lexicon, which may be broadly used in FBSA; second, a finite-state methodology adopted in this study to treat domain-dependent MWEs such as idiosyncratic polarity expressions, named entity expressions or feature expressions, and which may be reused in describing linguistic properties of other corpus domains.

Generating training datasets for legal chatbots in Korean

Chatbots are robots that can communicate with humans using text or voice signals. Legal chatbots improve access to justice, since legal representation and legal advice by lawyers come with a high cost that excludes disadvantaged and vulnerable people. However, capturing the diversity of actual user input in datasets for deep-learning dialog systems (chatbots) is a technical challenge. Diversity requires large volumes of data, which must also be labelled in order to classify the user's intent, while the cost of labelling datasets increases with volume. Instead of labelling large volumes of authentic data from users, our approach consists in jointly generating large volumes of utterances and high-quality labels. The generator of labelled datasets is based on language resources that take the form of local grammar graphs (LGG), which capture and generalize the vocabulary and local syntax observed by linguists in text. The LGGs associate labels to the utterances according to a domain-specific classification system. We tested this approach by implementing LIGA, a legal chatbot in Korean. The chatbot answers users' conversational queries on legal situations by providing information on similar legal cases, made publicly available by the Korean government. We generated labelled utterances from the LGGs with the aid of the open-source Unitex platform. This process produced 700 million utterances. We trained a DIET classifier on a dataset made of these utterances, and the trained model reached 91% f1-score performance. We implemented a chatbot called LIGA, which uses the results of the model to select a link to a web page that documents similar legal cases.

SSP-based construction of evaluation-annotated data for fine-grained aspect-based sentiment analysis

We report the construction of a Korean evaluation-annotated corpus, hereafter called 'Evaluation Annotated Dataset (EVAD)', and its use in Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) extended in order to cover e-commerce reviews containing sentiment and non-sentiment linguistic patterns. The annotation process uses Semi-Automatic Symbolic Propagation (SSP). We built extensive linguistic resources formalized as a Finite-State Transducer (FST) to annotate corpora with detailed ABSA components in the fashion e-commerce domain. The ABSA approach is extended, in order to analyze user opinions more accurately and extract more detailed features of targets, by including aspect values in addition to topics and aspects, and by classifying aspectvalue pairs depending whether values are unary, binary, or multiple. For evaluation, the KoBERT and KcBERT models are trained on the annotated dataset, showing robust performances of F1 0.88 and F1 0.90, respectively, on recognition of aspect-value pairs.
