An information processing device includes an acquisition unit, an identification unit and an emotion estimation unit. The acquisition unit acquires input information as information regarding a user in a certain situation. The identification unit identifies an object to which the user is paying attention and the user's appearance when the user is paying attention to the object based on the input information. The emotion estimation unit estimates emotion of the user based on object information indicating the identified object, appearance information indicating the identified appearance, and a predetermined method of estimating the emotion.

Information processing device, and emotion estimation method

In an acoustic signal separation device (), a determination unit () determines whether or not components from a plurality of sound sources are mixed in each of acoustic signals of respective components regenerated by a signal regeneration unit (), and when it is determined that a plurality of components is mixed, a series of processes by a feature value extraction unit (), a data estimation unit (), a data classification unit (), and a signal regeneration unit () is repeatedly executed until acoustic signals of the components of the respective sound sources are regenerated.

An output information generator generates abstract output information unrelated to the types of outputters according to information from an input unit. Semantic interpreters of the outputters generate pieces of embodied output information from the abstract output information on the basis of monitor results from status monitors which monitor the operating statuses of the corresponding outputters. Processing performers perform processes corresponding to the pieces of embodied output information.

A candidate voice segment sequence generatorgenerates candidate voice segment sequencesfor an input language information sequenceby using DB voice segmentsin a voice segment database. An output voice segment sequence determinatorcalculates a degree of match between the input language information sequenceand each of the candidate voice segment sequencesby using a parametershowing a value according to a cooccurrence criterionfor cooccurrence between the input language information sequenceand a sound parameter showing the attribute of each of a plurality of candidate voice segments in each of the candidate voice segment sequences, and determines an output voice segment sequenceon the basis of the degree of match.
