The method includes the steps of: generating learning models by performing machine learning with respect to learning data; attaching tags to a raw corpus automatically by using the generated learning models to thereby generate learning data candidates; calculating confidence scores of the generated learning data candidates, and then selecting a learning data candidate using the confidence scores; and allowing a user to correct an error in the selected learning data candidate through an interface and adding the error-corrected learning data candidate to the learning data, thereby adding new learning models incrementally.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ice bank for a refrigerator including: an inner case and an outer case forming one storage space having an opened top by being coupled to each other; and a coupling unit coupling the inner and outer cases to each other so that either one is relatively movable with respect to the other one so as for the capacity of the storage space to be variable. The ice bank for a refrigerator includes the inner and outer cases coupled to each other so that either one is relatively movable with respect to the other one, whereby accordingly the capacity of the ice bank is variable depending on the amount of ice that a customer needs, thereby enhancing the customer's product satisfaction. Further, when the customer needs a small amount of ice, the capacity of the ice bank can be reduced, accordingly enabling to effectively utilize the storage space of the refrigerator.

Abstract: This invention provides compositions and methods for producing low cholesterol poultry eggs using hypocholesterolemic compounds, cholesterol lowering supplements, and feeds therefrom. Preferably, this invention provides microbial statins without methyl group in C6, as shown in formula V, in order to produce low cholesterol poultry eggs. The invention allows producing low cholesterol poultry eggs without concomitant reduction of egg production by providing microbial statins, compactin and pravastatin as well as their derivatives, as cholesterol lowering components. This invention also provides methods for producing low cholesterol poultry eggs without huge increase of production cost since the effective amount of cholesterol lowering composition containing microbial statin costs 1/20-¼ of that of synthetic statin.

Abstract: A user manual supporting method for use in an electronic appliance includes converting a series of operations performed by the user to operate the electronic appliance and converting the operations into a pattern of user operation sequence, and checking if an error is present in the pattern of user operation sequence to retrieve a pattern of erroneous operation sequence corresponding to the pattern of user operation sequence having the error. Thereafter, a manual content associated with the pattern of erroneous operation pattern is extracted and the extracted manual content is provided to the user. The manual content the manual content includes text and/or graphics information for notifying the user of a missing operation in the pattern of user operation sequence, or for guiding a normal operation against the pattern of erroneous operation sequence.

Abstract: A system for a user authentication includes an odor sensor unit for sensing an odor of a user's body to generate an odor biometric information vector, and a learning unit for performing an initial learning using the odor biometric information vector to generate a comparative odor biometric information vector. An authentication unit performs the user authentication by comparing an odor biometric information vector of the user's body to be authenticated from the odor sensor unit with the comparative biometric information vector if the user authentication is required. The authentication unit further performs an incremental learning of the comparative odor biometric information vector using the odor biometric information vector used in the authentication to create an incrementally learned odor biometric information vector. The comparative odor biometric information vector is updated with the incrementally learned odor biometric information vector.
