Developing a hybrid dictionary-based bio-entity recognition technique
Min Song, Hwanjo Yu, Wook-Shin Han
SJR Q1BMC Medical Informatics and Decision MakingOA

BACKGROUND: Bio-entity extraction is a pivotal component for information extraction from biomedical literature. The dictionary-based bio-entity extraction is the first generation of Named Entity Recognition (NER) techniques. METHODS: This paper presents a hybrid dictionary-based bio-entity extraction technique. The approach expands the bio-entity dictionary by combining different data sources and improves the recall rate through the shortest path edit distance algorithm. In addition, the propose

Combining active learning and semi-supervised learning techniques to extract protein interaction sentences
Min Song, Hwanjo Yu, Wook-Shin Han
SJR Q1BMC BioinformaticsOA

BACKGROUND: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) extraction has been a focal point of many biomedical research and database curation tools. Both Active Learning and Semi-supervised SVMs have recently been applied to extract PPI automatically. In this paper, we explore combining the AL with the SSL to improve the performance of the PPI task. METHODS: We propose a novel PPI extraction technique called PPISpotter by combining Deterministic Annealing-based SSL and an AL technique to extract protein-pro

TRIAL: Token Relations and Importance Aware Late-interaction for Accurate Text Retrieval
Hyukkyu Kang, Injung Kim, Wook-Shin Han
OA

Late-interaction based multi-vector retrieval systems have greatly advanced the field of information retrieval by enabling fast and accurate search over millions of documents.However, these systems rely on a naive summation of token-level similarity scores, which often leads to inaccurate relevance estimation caused by the tokenization of semantic units (e.g., words and phrases) and the influence of low-content words (e.g., articles and prepositions).To address these challenges, we propose TRIAL

Improving Cost Prediction Models for Query Optimizers Using Machine Learning
Sangoh Lee, Wonseok Lee, Wook-Shin Han
KIISE Transactions on Computing Practices

데이터베이스 관리 시스템(DBMS)의 질의 최적화기는 사용자 질의에 적합한 실행 계획을 선정하는 핵심 요소이다. 전통적인 방식은 간단한 추측과 고정된 매개변수를 기반으로 비용을 예측하지만, 이는 실제 실행 비용과 크게 다를 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 극복하기 위해 학습 기반의 질의 최적화 방법들이 연구되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는 일반적인 데이터 환경에서 학습 기반의 비용 예측 모델에 적용한 방법을 우선 소개한다. 이후, 실제 상용 질의 최적화기에 구현하여 TPC-H 벤치마크 하에서의 질의 실행시간을 더욱 줄일 수 있음을 보였고, 추후 개선 사항에 대해 논의한다.

HELIOS: Harmonizing Early Fusion, Late Fusion, and LLM Reasoning for Multi-Granular Table-Text Retrieval
Sungho Park, Joohyung Yun, Jongwuk Lee, Wook-Shin Han
OA

Table-text retrieval aims to retrieve relevant tables and text to support open-domain question answering.Existing studies use either early or late fusion, but face limitations.Early fusion pre-aligns a table row with its associated passages, forming "stars," which often include irrelevant contexts and miss query-dependent relationships.Late fusion retrieves individual nodes, dynamically aligning them, but it risks missing relevant contexts.Both approaches also struggle with advanced reasoning ta
