Abstract: A conductive composite material, a method of preparing the same, and a secondary battery including the same. The conductive composite material may increase the proportion of an active material when forming an electrode by chemically bonding a conductive material and a binder to each other. A method of preparing the conductive composite material comprises ionizing carbon-based particles in a predetermined polarity, ionizing PTFE particles in a polarity different from that of the carbon-based particles, and chemically bonding the ionized carbon-based particles and the ionized PTFE particles, which are ionized in different polarities, to each other.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for processing a dialog based on processing instructing expression in a multi-modal environment and an apparatus therefor. The method for processing a dialog in an information processing device capable of processing digital signals includes the steps of: extracting an instructing expression from an inputted sentence; generating an intermediate instructing expression representing the modifying relations between the words constituting the extracted instructing expression; and searching the object corresponding with the intermediate instructing expression in a predetermined object search range. Thus, a terminal can be effectively and conveniently used without separately clarifying various instructing expressions representing things or objects with the terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed are a speech recognition error correction method and an apparatus thereof. The speech recognition error correction method includes determining a likelihood that a speech recognition result is erroneous, and if the likelihood that the speech recognition result is erroneous is higher than a predetermined standard, generating a parallel corpus according to whether the speech recognition result matches the correct answer corpus, generating a speech recognition model based on the parallel corpus, and correcting an erroneous speech recognition result based on the speech recognition model and the language model. Accordingly, speech recognition errors are corrected.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for processing a dialogue based on processing instructing expression in a multi-modal environment and an apparatus therefor. The method for processing a dialogue in an information processing device capable of processing digital signals includes the steps of: extracting an instructing expression from an inputted sentence; generating an intermediate instructing expression representing the modifying relations between the words constituting the extracted instructing expression; and searching the object corresponding with the intermediate instructing expression in a predetermined object search range. Thus, a terminal can be effectively and conveniently used without separately clarifying various instructing expressions representing things or objects with the terminal.

Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for constructing an ontology for a dialogue system. The method for constructing an ontology for a dialogue system includes: generating a domain ontology plane based on intra-plane relation information of a domain defining a relationship between a plurality of domain nodes; generating a main act ontology plane based on intra-plane relation information of a main act defining a relationship between a plurality of main act nodes; and generating an entity name ontology plane based on intra-plane relation information of an entity name defining a relationship between a plurality of entity name nodes. Therefore, it is possible to construct multiple ontology planes and discriminate components of dialogue frames such as a domain, a main act and an entity name. Also, an effective system response can be performed by discriminating dialogue frames exactly using the multi ontology planes.

Abstract: An image display apparatus and an image display method where the image display apparatus according to an embodiment displays a main screen and a sub-screen having a different depth or slope from the main screen so as to create the illusion of depth and distance.

Abstract: A method for operating an image display apparatus that receives a three-dimensional (3D) image signal and displays the 3D image signal as a 3D image, includes according to an embodiment displaying an image, detecting a connected external device, receiving data from the detected external device, generating at least one 3D object corresponding to the received data, and displaying the at least one 3D object corresponding to the received data. The at least one 3D object corresponding to the received data is processed to have a different depth from the image.
