Understanding the semantic change of Hangeul using word embedding

초록

In recent years, as many people post their interests on social media or store documents in digital form due to the development of the internet and computer technologies, the amount of text data generated has exploded. Accordingly, the demand for technology to create valuable information from numerous document data is also increasing. In this study, through statistical techniques, we investigate how the meanings of Korean words change over time by using the presidential speech records and newspaper articles public data. Using this, we present a strategy that can be utilized in the study of the synchronic change of Hangeul. The purpose of this study is to deviate from the study of the theoretical language phenomenon of Hangeul, which was studied by the intuition of existing linguists or native speakers, to derive numerical values through public documents that can be used by anyone, and to explain the phenomenon of changes in the meaning of words.
