Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes a region estimating unit estimate candidate regions of object detection from an image, a topic estimating unit that estimates a topic of the image on the basis of text information accompanying the image, a region evaluating unit that evaluates the candidate regions estimated by the region estimating unit on the basis of relationships with the topic estimated by the topic estimating unit, and an image generating unit that generates an image on the basis of evaluation results acquired by the region evaluating unit. The topic estimating unit described above estimates the topic on the basis of words to which tags are added.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

The present technology relates to an information processor and an information processing method that enable presentation of a response to a user with an appropriate amount of information in a voice interaction system. Provision of an information processor including a processing unit that adjusts an amount of information in a response with respect to desired information of a user, in accordance with a certainty factor of the user himself/herself that is estimated for the desired information makes it is possible to present the response to the user with the appropriate amount of information in the voice interaction system. The present technology is applicable to a voice interaction system, for example.

Information processor and information processing method

The present technology relates to an information processor, an information processing method, and a program that are able to convey information with a higher reliability. An information processor according to an aspect of the present technology generates a conveyance route as a route to a node of a conveyance destination, the conveyance route including, as transit nodes, a node of a device and a node of a person, and outputs information that indicates a conveyance content along the conveyance route. The present technology is applicable to an agent apparatus that assists an action of a user.

Information processing system and information processing method

[Problem] More effective information is gathered efficiently for the correction of device behavior. [Solution] Provided is an information processing device that includes an output control unit that controls, on the basis of a gathered operation history of a device, an output of a reproduced scene pertaining to a behavior which the device has executed on the basis of context information; and a communication unit that receives feedback input by a judge regarding the reproduced scene thus output. Further provided is an information processing device that comprises a communication unit that receives information on a reproduced scene pertaining to a behavior which the device has executed on the basis of context information; and a playback unit that plays back the reproduced scene, wherein the communication unit transmits feedback input by a judge regarding the reproduced scene.
