Abstract: In an information processing method, display of a question and acquisition of an answer from a user to the question are repeated to narrow down information the user desires to make a search. A question regarding a target of the search is displayed in a first mode on a display included in a terminal. An answer inputted from the user to the question is acquired through the terminal. When the question is displayed, first information regarding a situation of a narrowing-down progress is displayed above the question in a second mode, and second information regarding a guide for answering the question is displayed below the question in a third mode.

Abstract: A semantic network storage unit stores multiple nodes necessary for performing a task of generating a response sentence to user's speech while associating the nodes with each other. A natural language processor acquires speech information indicating content of the user's speech and identifies a primary node corresponding to the speech information from multiple nodes. A conversation generation unit selects one secondary node from multiple secondary nodes associated with the identified primary node, based on weight values each related to one of the multiple secondary nodes and generates a response sentence corresponding to the selected one secondary node.

Abstract: A subject estimation system includes a convolutional neural network to estimate a subject label of a dialog. The convolution neural network includes: one or more topic-dependent convolutional layers and one topic-independent convolutional layer, each of the one or more topic-dependent convolutional layers performing, on an input of a word-string vector sequence corresponding to dialog text transcribed from a dialog, a convolution operation dependent on a topic, and the topic-independent convolutional layer performing, on the input of the word-string vector sequence, a convolution operation not dependent on the topic; a pooling layer performing pooling process on outputs of the convolutional layer; and a fully connected layer performing full connection process on outputs of the pooling layer.

Abstract: A method for controlling identification includes obtaining first text, which is text in a first language, obtaining second text, which is text in a second language obtained by translating the first text into the second language, obtaining correct labels, which indicate content of the first text, inputting the first text and the second text to an identification model common to the first and second languages, and updating the common identification model such that labels identified by the common identification model from the first text and the second text match the correct labels.

Abstract: An information processing method includes acquiring first text information from a storage apparatus in which the first text information representing one or more utterance sentences is stored as a learning data set, identifying one or more named entities included in the acquired first text information, replacing each of the one or more identified named entities with an abstract expression abstracted based on a predetermined rule thereby generating second text information from the first text information, and learning a model of a dialogue system using, as training data, the second text information generated in the replacing.

Abstract: A speech continuation determination method includes acquiring dialogue data including a system sentence spoken to a user at a first time, a user sentence spoken by the user at a second time following the system sentence, and system intention indicating intention of the system sentence; estimating a predicted response delay amount indicating a wait time for a response to the user sentence by applying the dialogue data to a model obtained by machine learning; acquiring user status information indicating the status of the user; and determining whether a speech sentence by the user continues following the user sentence in accordance with the user status information in the wait time indicated by the predicted response delay amount.

Abstract: A processing method executed by a processor that receives an order from a user at a restaurant through interaction includes analyzing information indicating the order, extracting a phrase other than a standard element from the information, with reference to a first database when the extracted phrase is a first phrase in the first database, outputting a first confirmation item corresponding to the first phrase to the user, receiving a first user response corresponding to the first confirmation item, when the extracted phrase is not a first phrase in the first database, referring to a second database, when the extracted phrase is a second phrase in the second database, selecting a third phrase in the first database from second phrase-related phrases, outputting a second confirmation item corresponding to the third phrase to the user referring to the first database, and receiving a second user response corresponding to the second confirmation item.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing method for performing, through interaction with a user, narrowing down regarding information that the user desires to search for. The method includes: outputting a first question, which is an open question, about a target of search; obtaining a first answer to the first question, the first answer being input by the user; if a determination is made indicating that the first answer does not satisfy a first condition and that a word or phrase corresponding to a word or phrase included in the first answer is not included in a database, outputting a second question, which is an open question, for requesting an explanation about the word or phrase included in the first answer and not included in the database; and if a determination is made indicating that the first answer satisfies the first condition, outputting a closed question about the target of search.

Abstract: An information processing method in an interactive apparatus that questions a user's symptom through interaction with a user includes: outputting first question information of a first type concerning the user's symptom to a display or a speaker connected to the interactive apparatus, receiving first answer information indicating an answer to the question in the first question information from a keyboard, a touch panel, or a microphone connected to the interactive apparatus, outputting second question information of the first type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information does not include a word in a negative expression, and outputting third question information of a second type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information includes the word in the negative expression.

Abstract: An information processing method for information stored in a storage includes: holding a dialog history of a dialog including a question to a user and a reply from the user to the question, determining whether a manner in which a third reply indicating neither a first reply nor a second reply appears in a reply history of the reply included in the held dialog history satisfies a predetermined condition, the first reply indicating an affirmative in response to the question, the second reply indicating a negative in response to the question; and performing presentation regarding the information stored in the storage if the manner is determined to satisfy the predetermined condition.
