Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The feedback training system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that has a training function for managers to provide appropriate feedback. This feedback training system is useful in MBO (management by objectives) and 1on1 meetings, and can be used to develop the capabilities of not only evaluators but also those being evaluated. For example, in MBO, the system displays recommended feedback content by inputting not only the current evaluation, but also the most recent evaluation, years of service, and the characteristics of the person being evaluated. If the person being evaluated is a new employee, specific advice on improving skills and short-term goal setting may be recommended. On the other hand, if the person being evaluated is a veteran employee with a long history of service, feedback on leadership and long-term career plans is recommended. Next, in 1on1 meetings, feedback content with a view to the next few months is displayed by inputting self-declaration, past evaluations, worries, and characteristics. If the person being evaluated is worried about his / her current work, specific advice and support to resolve the worries are recommended. In addition, feedback to increase motivation and challenging goal setting to promote growth may be proposed depending on the characteristics of the person being evaluated. In this way, the training function for managers to provide appropriate feedback is beneficial for both the evaluator and the person being evaluated. By providing feedback that is tailored to the characteristics and circumstances of the appraisee, the appraiser supports the appraisee's growth and contributes to improving the performance of the entire organization. Meanwhile, by receiving specific and practical feedback, the appraisee can take concrete steps toward developing their own capabilities and realizing their career plans. This allows the feedback training system to provide a training function for managers to provide appropriate feedback.
[0029] The feedback training system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects data. The data includes, for example, text data, numerical data, image data, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit collects, for example, data from the evaluator and the evaluee. The evaluator and the evaluee include, for example, employees, students, customers, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit can also collect the self-report of the evaluee and the evaluation data of the past several times. For example, the self-report data is collected through a questionnaire or an interview, and the evaluation data for the past one year is collected. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data. The analysis includes, for example, statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms, but is not limited to such examples. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data and grasps the characteristics of the evaluator and the evaluee. The characteristics include, for example, skills, performance, behavioral characteristics, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The generation unit generates feedback content based on the analysis result. The feedback content includes, for example, text feedback and numerical evaluation, but is not limited to such examples. The generation unit generates optimal feedback content for the evaluator and the evaluee based on the analysis result. For example, if the evaluee is a new employee, specific advice on skill improvement is provided. If the evaluee is a veteran employee, feedback on leadership is provided. The provision unit provides the generated feedback content. The provision includes, for example, email, dashboard, report, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The provision unit provides the generated feedback content to the evaluator and the evaluee. For example, the feedback content is sent by email. The feedback content is displayed through a dashboard. The feedback content is provided in a report format. This allows the feedback training system according to the embodiment to efficiently collect and analyze data, generate and provide feedback content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can collect data from the evaluator and the evaluee using AI.The analysis unit can analyze the collected data using AI. The generation unit can generate feedback content based on the analysis result using AI. The provision unit can provide the generated feedback content using AI.
[0030] The collection unit collects data. Examples of the data include, but are not limited to, text data, numerical data, and image data. The collection unit collects data from, for example, evaluators and evaluators. Examples of the evaluators and evaluators include, but are not limited to, employees, students, and customers. The collection unit can also collect self-reports from evaluators and the past several evaluations. For example, self-reported data is collected through questionnaires and interviews, and evaluation data from the past year is collected. The collection unit can utilize online forms and mobile applications to efficiently collect these data. For example, a system can be created in which employees enter self-evaluations using smartphones and the data is automatically sent to a cloud server. In addition, feedback and evaluation results given by evaluators to evaluators are also collected in digital format. In addition, the collection unit can obtain data from external data sources. For example, industry standard benchmark data and market research data can be collected and integrated with internal data to enable a more comprehensive evaluation. It is also important for the collection unit to carry out data verification and cleaning processes to ensure data quality. For example, duplicate data can be deleted and incomplete data can be completed so that the analysis unit can use accurate data. This enables the collection unit to efficiently collect high-quality data from a variety of data sources, improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the collected data. Examples of the analysis include, but are not limited to, statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data to grasp the characteristics of the evaluator and the evaluee. Examples of the characteristics include, but are not limited to, skills, performance, behavioral characteristics, and the like. The analysis unit first preprocesses the data, complements missing values, and detects outliers. Next, the analysis unit grasps the basic trends and distribution of the data using statistical analysis. For example, the average value and standard deviation of the skill level of the evaluee are calculated to evaluate the overall performance. In addition, the analysis unit uses a machine learning algorithm to extract patterns of the behavioral characteristics and performance of the evaluee. For example, a clustering method is used to classify the evaluee into multiple groups, and the characteristics of each group are analyzed. Furthermore, the analysis unit can build a prediction model and predict the future performance and skill improvement of the evaluee. For example, regression analysis is used to predict future performance from the evaluee's past data, and basic information is provided for providing appropriate feedback. It is also important for the analysis unit to visualize these analysis results and provide them in a format that is easy for the evaluator and the evaluee to understand. For example, graphs and charts can be used to visually show trends and patterns in the data, facilitating understanding of the analysis results. This allows the analysis department to analyze the collected data from multiple angles and accurately grasp the characteristics of the evaluators and those being evaluated.
[0032] The generation unit generates feedback content based on the analysis result. The feedback content includes, for example, text feedback and numerical evaluation, but is not limited to such examples. The generation unit generates optimal feedback content for the evaluator and the evaluee based on the analysis result. For example, if the evaluee is a new employee, specific skill improvement advice is provided. If the evaluee is a veteran employee, feedback on leadership is provided. The generation unit can automatically generate text feedback based on the analysis result using natural language processing technology. For example, based on the skill evaluation result of the evaluee, feedback that points out specific improvements and strengths is generated. In addition, the performance of the evaluee can be quantitatively evaluated using numerical evaluation and visually shown using graphs and charts. Furthermore, the generation unit can provide customized feedback according to individual needs. For example, individual goal setting and action plans are proposed taking into account the evaluee's past evaluation history and self-reported data. The generation unit can also use pre-defined templates and guidelines to ensure consistency and quality of the feedback content. This makes it possible for the generated feedback to be beneficial to the evaluator and the evaluee and provide specific guidelines for action. The generator can provide feedback efficiently and quickly by automating the process of generating feedback contents.
[0033] The providing unit provides the generated feedback content. Examples of the provision include, but are not limited to, email, dashboard, and report. The providing unit provides the generated feedback content to the evaluator and the evaluee. For example, the feedback content is sent by email. The feedback content is displayed through a dashboard. The feedback content is provided in the form of a report. The providing unit can utilize multiple communication means to deliver the feedback content quickly and reliably. For example, not only email notifications but also push notifications of mobile apps and SMS are used in combination to deliver important feedback reliably. In addition, the providing unit can provide an interactive dashboard to display the feedback content in a visually easy-to-understand manner. For example, the evaluee can check his / her evaluation results in graphs and charts and click to display detailed feedback content. Furthermore, the providing unit can also have a function to collect confirmation of receipt of the feedback content and responses to the feedback. For example, an interface is provided that allows the evaluee to leave comments on the feedback content or send additional questions. This allows the providing unit to monitor the receipt status and effectiveness of the feedback and provide additional support as necessary. The providing unit streamlines the process of providing the feedback content, allowing the evaluator and the evaluee to receive feedback quickly.

This feedback training system is useful in MBO (management by objectives) and 1on1 meetings, and can be used to develop the capabilities of not only evaluators but also those being evaluated. For example, in MBO, the system displays recommended feedback content by inputting not only the current evaluation, but also the most recent evaluation, years of service, and the characteristics of the person being evaluated. If the person being evaluated is a new employee, specific advice on improving skills and short-term goal setting may be recommended. On the other hand, if the person being evaluated is a veteran employee with a long history of service, feedback on leadership and long-term career plans is recommended. Next, in 1on1 meetings, feedback content with a view to the next few months is displayed by inputting self-declaration, past evaluations, worries, and characteristics. If the person being evaluated is worried about his / her current work, specific advice and support to resolve the worries are recommended. In addition, feedback to increase motivation and challenging goal setting to promote growth may be proposed depending on the characteristics of the person being evaluated. In this way, the training function for managers to provide appropriate feedback is beneficial for both the evaluator and the person being evaluated. By providing feedback that is tailored to the characteristics and circumstances of the appraisee, the appraiser supports the appraisee's growth and contributes to improving the performance of the entire organization. Meanwhile, by receiving specific and practical feedback, the appraisee can take concrete steps toward developing their own capabilities and realizing their career plans.

In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0163] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the collection unit collects data from the evaluator and the evaluee using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The generation unit generates feedback content based on the analysis result, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The provision unit provides the feedback content generated, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 to the evaluator and the evaluee. The correspondence between each unit and the device and control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0164] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.
[0165] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0166] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0167] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out on emotion map 400 you go, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0168] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.
[0169] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0170] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.
[0171] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.
[0172] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0173] In addition, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 upon request from the data processing device 12.
[0174] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0175] As the hardware resource for executing the specific process, various processors as shown below can be used. An example of the processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing the specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of the processor is a dedicated electric circuit, which is a processor having a circuit configuration designed exclusively for executing a specific process, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each processor has a built-in or connected memory, and each processor executes the specific process by using the memory.
[0176] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be one of these various processors, or may be a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0177] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration in which a processor is used that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0178] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The specific processes described above are merely examples. It goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the order of processes may be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0179] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments are described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, the smart glasses 214, the headset terminal 314, and the robot 414 are only examples, and they may be combined with each other, or may be other devices. In the above example, the first and second embodiments are described separately, but they may be combined.
