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 an information processing apparatus that includes an acquisition unit that acquires group content information regarding a content of a conversation in at least one or more groups among a plurality of groups in which a plurality of users participating in a remote meeting are divided and can have a conversation in each group, and an output unit that outputs plural group list information that displays the group content information in association with a corresponding group together with the plurality of groups.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, terminal device, and display method

Provided is an information processing device that includes a determination unit that determines whether an object that outputs voice is a dialogue target related to voice dialogue based on a result of recognition of an input image, and a dialogue function unit that performs control related to the voice dialogue based on the determination. The dialogue function unit provides a voice dialogue function to the object based on the determination that the object being the dialogue target. Further provided is a method that includes determining whether an object that outputs voice is a dialogue target related to voice dialogue based on a result of recognition of an input image, and performing control related to the voice dialogue based on a result of the determining. The performing of the control further includes providing a voice dialogue function to the object based on the determination that the object is the dialogue target.

Information processing device and information processing method

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a matter extracting unit extracting a predetermined matter from text information, an action pattern specifying unit specifying one or multiple action patterns associated with the predetermined matter, an action extracting unit extracting each of the action patterns associated with the predetermined matter, from sensor information, and a state analyzing unit generating state information indicating a state related to the matter, based on each of the action patterns extracted from the sensor information, using a contribution level indicating a degree of contribution of each of the action patterns to the predetermined matter, for a combination of the predetermined matter and each of the action patterns associated with the predetermined matter.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

There is provided a content reproduction apparatus including a content reproduction unit for reproducing content, a habit detection unit for detecting a reproduction habit regarding content that uses the content reproduction unit, and an abnormality determination unit for determining there is an abnormality, in a case a reproduction action estimated from the reproduction habit detected by the habit detection unit is not carried out.

Content reproduction apparatus, mobile appliance, and abnormality detection method

There is provided an information processing device including an operation history acquisition unit for acquiring operation history information in which an input operation of a learner terminal by a learner who uses learning content is associated with a time at which the input operation is acquired, and an acceptance ability estimation unit for estimating an acceptance ability of the learner with regard to the learning content based on the operation history information.

Information processing apparatus for controlling to execute a job used for manufacturing a product

[Object] To present a response to a natural sentence in a more suitable aspect even in circumstances in which a natural sentence with ambiguity can be input. [Solution] An information processing device including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire an extraction result of candidates for a response to an input which is based on first information indicating a result of natural language analysis on a natural sentence acquired as the input and second information indicating a state or a situation involved in use of a predetermined device; and a control unit configured to cause a predetermined output unit to present information indicating the candidates for the response in an aspect corresponding to the extraction result of the candidates.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a matter extracting unit extracting a predetermined matter from text information, an action specifying unit specifying one or multiple action patterns associated with the predetermined matter, an action extracting unit extracting each of the action patterns associated with the predetermined matter, from sensor information, and a state analyzing unit generating state information indicating a state related to the matter, based on each of the action patterns extracted from the sensor information, using a contribution level indicating a degree of contribution of each of the action patterns to the predetermined matter, for a combination of the predetermined matter and each of the action patterns associated with the predetermined matter.

A data processing apparatus includes a text acquisition mechanism acquiring texts to be used as keywords which will be subject to audio retrieval, the texts being related to contents corresponding to contents data including image data and audio data; a keyword acquisition mechanism acquiring the keywords from the texts; an audio retrieval mechanism retrieving utterance of the keywords from the audio data of the contents data and acquiring timing information representing the timing of the utterance of the keywords of which the utterance is retrieved; and a playback control mechanism generating, from image data around the time represented by the timing information, representation image data of a representation image which will be displayed together with the keywords and performing playback control of displaying the representation image corresponding to the representation image data together with the keywords which are uttered at the time represented by the timing information.

Generation of correlated keyword and image data

There is provided an information processing apparatus including an experience extracting unit extracting experience information indicating a user experience from text information, an action extracting unit extracting an action pattern from sensor information, a correspondence experience extracting unit extracting, based on relationship information indicating a correspondence relationship between the experience information and the action pattern, experience information corresponding to the action pattern extracted from the sensor information, and a display controlling unit displaying information related to the experience information extracted from the text information along with information related to the experience information corresponding to the action pattern.

An information processing device is connected to multiple information processing terminals wherein multiple types of expressions exhibited by a user during playback of content are detected, evaluation of each played-back content is obtained, of the detected plurality of types of expressions a predetermined expression serving as a high evaluation index indicated by the user during playback of high evaluation content is identified, and the expression information serving as a identified high evaluation index and the information expressing evaluation as to each content are transmitted. The information device includes a receiving unit to receive expression information serving as the high evaluation index from multiple information processing terminals; a user identifying unit to identify a user indicating an expression of similar high evaluation index for the same content; a recommended content identifying unit to identify recommended content having a high evaluation to other similar users; and a transmitting unit.
