An information processing device includes processing circuitry to acquire object spatiotemporal information including spatiotemporal information indicating coordinates of objects in time and space and a name of each of the objects and to generate morphological analysis-undergone object spatiotemporal information by executing a morphological analysis as a process of analyzing the name of each of the objects included in the object spatiotemporal information into one or more words; to acquire morphological analysis-undergone names of vicinal objects, as objects existing in a vicinity of each of the objects in time and space, from the morphological analysis-undergone object spatiotemporal information; to calculate a distribution of vicinal object name words, as words included in the names of the vicinal objects of each of the objects, from the morphological analysis-undergone names; and to convert the distribution of the vicinal object name words to a spatiotemporal information-considered distributed representation regarding words.

Information processing device and information processing method for judging the semantic relationship between words and sentences

An expression recognition device includes processing circuitry to acquire an image; extract a face area of a person from the acquired image and obtaining a face image added with information of the face area; extract one or more face feature points on a basis of the face image; determine a face condition representing a state of a face in the face image depending on reliability of each of the extracted face feature points; determine a reference point for extraction of a feature amount used for expression recognition from among the extracted face feature points depending on the determined face condition; extract the feature amount on a basis of the determined reference point; recognize a facial expression of the person in the face image using the extracted feature amount; and output information related to a recognition result of the facial expression of the person in the face image.

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.
