A topic map based indexing apparatus analyzes community Q/A lists to acquire Q/A analysis information, removes redundant answers depending on the Q/A analysis information, removes insignificant answers based on the degree of reliability, ranks answer lists, and extracts the highest ranking answer as a best answer, to thereby store, in a community Q/A topic map, index information containing the community Q/A lists and the Q/A analysis information. A topic map based searching apparatus analyzes a user question to acquire question analysis information, searches similar questions from community Q/A lists belonging to a specific topic node of a pre-stored community Q/A topic map, ranks the searched similar questions depending on the question analysis information, removes redundant answers among answers to the ranked similar questions, ranks the answers, and extracts the highest ranking answer as a best answer.

Topic map based indexing and searching apparatus

Provided are an apparatus and method for post-processing a dialogue error in a speech dialogue system using multilevel verification, in which both of a user's current utterance and a whole dialogue flow are taken into account through the multilevel verification including speech recognition results analysis, linguistic analysis, discourse analysis and dialogue analysis. As a result, various errors that may occur in the speech dialogue system are detected, and error post-processing appropriate to a detected error type is performed, so that speech recognition errors may be reduced.

An apparatus and a hybrid method for recognizing answer type are disclosed. The apparatus includes: a morpheme analyzer for analyzing morphemes of an input text; a syllabic answer type recognizer for extracting a predetermined size syllable from a morpheme list and recognizing an answer type based on the extracted syllable; a vocabulary feature recognizer for allocating feature to each morpheme and recognizing the feature; a vocabulary feature disambiguation unit for disambiguating vocabulary feature ambiguity of morphemes having more than one feature; a pattern rule answer type recognizer for recognizing an answer type by comparing a consecutive sequence of the morphemes and a consecutive sequence of constitutional features connected to the morphemes with a pre-constructed pattern rules; a statistic answer type recognizer for recognizing an answer type by implementing a statistic model; and an answer type sub-category recognizer for recognizing a sub-category of the recognized answer type classified to general category.
