Creating a summary of a plurality of texts includes tokenizing each of a plurality of texts to obtain tokens; generating a vector space using a first set of vectors having one or more obtained feature scores equal to or larger than a predefined value; executing non-hierarchical clustering using the vector space to generate a first plurality of clusters; choosing a first representative text in each of the plurality of clusters; generating a second set of vectors from each of the arrays generated based on a number of characters included in tokens of the representative texts; executing hierarchical clustering using the second set of vectors to generate a second plurality of clusters; and in response to a determining a number of clusters included in the second plurality of clusters, determining a second representative text for each of the clusters included in the second plurality of clusters.

Creation of a summary for a plurality of texts

A tool for predicting communication patterns and availability on one or more computer devices. The tool allocates an incoming mail identification to the incoming mail. The tool determines a location of origin for the incoming mail based, at least in part, on domain information and information from an address book. The tool determines one or more holidays, a day of a week, and a time of day utilizing a sending timestamp from the location of origin. The tool determines a sending tendency for the sender identification. The tool determines a response prediction rate for a per-determined timeframe based, at least in part, on the one or more holidays, the day of the week, the time of day and the sending tendency for the sender identification. The tool displays the response prediction rate and the sending tendency in one or more pop-up dialog windows.

Predicting recipient communication patterns and availability

The present invention provides a method for analyzing answers to questions in an electronic document. The method comprises reading, into a memory, the user's answers to the questions and a user's answer history information from the user's answers, wherein the user's answer history information is collected at the time the questions are answered. The method further comprises inputting, into a machine learning model, the user's answers to the questions and the user's answer history information from the user's answers to output an analysis result, wherein the machine learning model is trained, in advance, using one or more sets of training data, each set of training data comprising one or more answers to one or more questions and answer history information from the one or more answers, and a correct result which is obtained by manually judging the one or more answers to the one or more questions.

Analysis of answers to questions

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for monitoring action records in virtual space. The systems and methods for monitoring action records in virtual space display recorded activity on an avatar within the virtual space by communicating in a virtual space with a user account. The recorded activity is analyzed and processed in order to compile information on the avatar and display an avatar (which is a reflection of the compiled information).

Action records in virtual space

A computer-implemented method includes setting a first region on a display, the first region including a first character string, setting a second region, the second region including the first region, and dynamically generating a second character string in response to a user specifying an arbitrary position outside the first region and within the second region, the second character string is generated by changing a representation of the first character string depending on a distance between the first region and the user specified position.

Dynamically changing words based on a distance between a first area and a second area

To provide a fixing pressure roller production method which can readily provide a fixing pressure roller in which no abnormal foaming occurs at the interface between the elastic layer and the metallic core. The method of the present invention includes a molding step of molding, under reduced pressure, an unvulcanized silicone rubber containing a chemical foaming agent; after the molding step, a leaving step of allowing the molded product to stand for a predetermined period of time; and after the leaving step, a foam-curing step of vulcanizing the unvulcanized silicone rubber, to thereby yield an elastic layer formed of a foamed silicone rubber.

Embodiments relate to supporting analysis of evaluations found on the internet. An aspect includes acquiring evaluation information comprising evaluations of each a first plurality of evaluation targets made by any of a plurality of evaluators. Another aspect includes generating consensus information regarding an evaluation of a predetermined evaluation target by determining a coincidence between a dispersion degree of evaluations with respect to the predetermined evaluation target and a central value of dispersion degrees of evaluations with respect to individual ones of the first plurality of evaluation targets. Another aspect includes generating distinctiveness information regarding the evaluations made by a predetermined evaluator by determining coincidence between a dispersion degree of evaluations made by the predetermined evaluator and a central value of dispersion degrees of evaluations made by individual ones of the plurality of evaluators. Yet another aspect includes outputting the consensus information and the distinctiveness information.

Analysis of evaluations from internet media

To provide a fixing pressure roller which can be readily produced through molding and which has excellent durability, low hardness and low heat capacity, and a fixing device employing the fixing pressure roller. In the fixing pressure roller for employment in a fixing unit of a fixing device, the fixing pressure roller has a core, and an elastic layer provided around the core, wherein the elastic layer is formed of a foamed silicone rubber which is a foam curing product of an unvulcanized silicone rubber containing a chemical foaming agent, and has a mean cell diameter of 50 &#x3bc;m to 150 &#x3bc;m.

A semiconductor memory device includes a mask information storage circuit that stores therein mask information indicating an area for which the self refresh operation is not performed among a plurality of areas in a memory cell array, a mask determining circuit that is activated by a self refresh command and generates a match signal in response to a detection of a match between a refresh address and the mask information, and a refresh operation control circuit that disables the self refresh operation in response to an activation of the match signal. When a test mode signal is activated, the mask determining circuit is also activated by the auto refresh command. With this configuration, it is possible to perform a test of a partial array self refresh function without actually entering a self refresh mode.
