Abstract: The present technology relates to an audio processing apparatus, an audio processing method, and a program which enable to appropriately eliminate a noise. An audio processing apparatus includes a sound collector which collects audio, an audio enhancer which enhances audio to be extracted using an audio signal collected by the sound collector, an audio attenuator which attenuates the audio to be extracted using the audio signal collected by the sound collector, a noise environment estimator which estimates a surrounding noise environment, and a post-filtering unit which performs post-filtering processing using an audio-enhanced signal from the audio enhancer and an audio-attenuated signal from the audio attenuator, in which the post-filtering unit sets strength of processing for noise elimination according to the noise environment by the noise environment estimator. The present technology can be applied to an apparatus which performs audio recognition processing, such as a mobile phone.

Abstract: A selection decision made by a user at a time of searching is facilitated.
An optimum output mode for each word is determined from an input sentence including a plurality of words, and data of the determined output mode corresponding to each word is output. For example, a suitable word for presentation by an image is extracted from an input sentence including a plurality of words, and an image corresponding to the suitable word is output. For example, the image corresponding to the suitable word is output by being included in a search result corresponding to other search conditions of the input sentence. In this case, it becomes possible to present the user with the image corresponding to the word that is included in the input sentence and is suitable for presentation by an image.

Abstract: Estimating operational states of a plurality of electrical devices connected to an electrical power line, that is, an electricity usage condition is appropriately carried out.Current and voltage are calculated as time-series from the electrical power line to which the plurality of electrical devices is connected. Signal components of power frequency and harmonics thereof are extracted from the time-series of the current and the voltage. Admittance vector time-series are calculated from the signal components. The admittance vector time-series are compared with combinations of feature vectors of the plurality of electrical devices connected to the electrical power line, to obtain an estimated result of the operational states of the plurality of electrical devices.
