According to one embodiment, an information processing method includes acquiring a first question corresponding to an input query, estimating an answer to the first question for each of pieces of content to generate a first answer estimation result including the answer to the first question for each of the pieces of content, and classifying the pieces of content into first groups by using the first answer estimation result and generating a first retrieval result indicating content belonging to each of the first groups.

Information processing method and information processing apparatus

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor generates a template, regarding a recording data sheet including a plurality of items, for one or more of the items that can be specified, with reference to an input order of input target items selected from the items. The processor performs a speech recognition on an utterance of a user and generate a speech recognition result. The processor determines an input target range relating to one more items specified by the utterance of the user among the items based on the template and the speech recognition result.

Information processing apparatus, method and computer readable medium

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a conversion unit, and a display controller. The acquisition unit acquires multimedia data associated with an item of record data having a plurality of items. The conversion unit performs a conversion process from the multimedia data to first display data showing a content of the multimedia data. The display controller displays the first display data when the conversion process is completed, and displays second display data showing a progress status of the conversion process when the conversion process is incomplete in association with the item of the record data.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes one or more processors configured to detect a trigger from a voice signal, the trigger indicating start of voice recognition; and to perform voice recognition of a recognition sound section subsequent to a trigger sound section including the detected trigger, referring to a trigger and voice recognition dictionary corresponding to the trigger.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer program product

According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to acquire target sentence data including a plurality of morphemes obtained by speech recognition and speech generation time of each morpheme from the plurality of morphemes; and assign display time according to a difference between a confirmed sentence of which a user's correction for the target sentence data is confirmed and a second confirmed sentence of a previous speech generation time.

According to one embodiment, a voice conversation support apparatus includes an input unit, a first determination unit, a second determination unit, a third determination unit, and a scoring unit. The input unit accepts a text data input according to a voice input mode and another input mode. The first determination unit extracts at least one subject keyword representing a current subject from the text data input. The second determination unit estimates a category of a word that can be an answer. The third determination unit calculates a question pair likelihood. The scoring unit calculates a score about a priority of each input mode.

According to one embodiment, a region-of-interest extraction apparatus includes following units. The acquisition unit acquires a structured document including elements. The first extraction unit extracts block regions including specific elements, from the structured document. The second extraction unit extracts, as a display region, parts of the elements being displayed on a display screen, from the structured document. The third extraction unit extracts a region of interest, in which a user is interested, from the structured document, based on relations between the block regions and the display region.

Region-of-interest extraction apparatus and method

According to one embodiment, a keyword extraction apparatus includes a display, a first calculation unit, a scroll unit, a first generation unit, an extraction unit, a scoring unit and a second generation unit. The first calculation unit calculates a partial region indicating a part of the document displayed. The scroll unit scrolls the document to display other than the partial region in a document. The scoring unit calculates scores of the keywords in accordance with positions that the keywords occur within the document. The second generation unit generates a window for selecting the keywords in descending order of the scores from first keywords.

Keyword extraction apparatus and program

In one embodiment, there is provided a keyword presenting device including: an extraction unit configured to extract a plurality of keywords from a browsing document; a determination unit configured to arrange keywords with spellings similar to each other among the plurality of keywords to obtain a plurality of groups of similar keyword; an integration unit configured to classify the keywords into main keywords that are titles and the other sub-keywords for each group of similar keywords, and to integrate the sub-keywords into the main keywords; and a presentation unit configured to present the main keywords to a user.
