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

Provided is a device that includes a user spoken voice extraction unit that extracts a user spoken voice from a microphone input sound. The user spoken voice extraction unit analyzes a sound source direction of an input sound, determines whether the input sound includes an external apparatus output sound on the basis of sound source directions of external apparatus output sounds recorded in a database, and removes a sound signal corresponding to a feature amount, for example, a frequency characteristic of the external apparatus output sound recorded in the database, from the input sound to extract a user spoken voice from which the external apparatus output sound has been removed upon determining that the input sound includes the external apparatus output sound.

Information processing device, information processing system and information processing method

An information processing device presents first information indicating that voice input for the voice operation is possible and second information representing a domain of utterance in which voice operation is possible in response to an occurrence of a predetermined state transition, and performs voice recognition for voice input by a user.

Information processing device to stop the turn off of power based on voice input for voice operation

The present technology relates to an information processing device and an information processing method that enable output of information using a more optimal output modal. Provided is an information processing device including a processing unit configured to perform processes of: acquiring apparatus information regarding an output modal for each electronic apparatus; selecting an electronic apparatus having an output modal that outputs information from among a plurality of electronic apparatuses on the basis of the acquired apparatus information; and outputting the information from an output modal of the selected electronic apparatus. The present technology can be applied to, for example, electronic apparatuses such as information apparatuses, video apparatuses, audio apparatuses, or household electrical appliances.
