Abstract: The present technology relates to a learning device, a learning method, a voice synthesis device, and a voice synthesis method configured so that information can be provided via voice allowing easy understanding of contents by a user as a speech destination. A learning device according to one embodiment of the present technology performs voice recognition of speech voice of a plurality of users, estimates statuses when a speech is made, and learns, on the basis of speech voice data, a voice recognition result, and the statuses when the speech is made, voice synthesis data to be used for generation of synthesized voice according to statuses upon voice synthesis. Moreover, a voice synthesis device estimates statuses, and uses the voice synthesis data to generate synthesized voice indicating the contents of predetermined text data and obtained according to the estimated statuses. The present technology can be applied to an agent device.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing device including an output control unit that controls presentation of content to a user, and when a non-viewing/listening period is detected in a viewing and listening behavior of the user corresponding to the content, causes a summary of the content to be output. The output control unit determines an amount of information in the summary of the content, based on the length of the non-viewing/listening period. Moreover, provided is an information processing method including: by a processor, controlling presentation of content to a user; and when a non-viewing/listening period is detected in a viewing and listening behavior of the user corresponding to the content, causing a summary of the content to be output. The causing the summary of the content to be output further includes determining an amount of information in the summary of the content, based on the length of the non-viewing/listening period.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method for enabling provision of a more convenient speech recognition service. The information processing apparatus includes a speech recognition unit that performs speech recognition for speech information based on an utterance of a user, and a correction portion estimation unit that collates content of a sentence obtained as a speech recognition result with collation information necessary for determining accuracy of the content to estimate, for the sentence, a correction portion that requires correction. The sentence obtained as a speech recognition result is displayed together with the correction portion estimated by the correction portion estimation unit and presented to the user.
