[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific process program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific process program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific process program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific process program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59.

Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A conversation simulation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that allows an AI to learn past conversations on a messenger app, thereby enabling the AI to converse as if it were a specific person. In this system, a user provides the AI with past conversation data on a messenger app, and the AI learns the conversation data and imitates the conversation style and language of a specific person, thereby providing an experience as if the user were talking to the AI when conversing with the AI. For example, if an AI learns a conversation on a messenger app with a deceased grandfather, an AI grandfather is generated, and when the AI speaks to the AI, a conversation as if the AI was talking to the grandfather is possible. Also, if the AI learns interactions with a boss that the user dislikes, the AI provides feedback that is likely to be given in real life. First, a user provides the AI with past conversation data on a messenger app. At this time, the conversation data is provided in text format and input to the AI. Next, the AI analyzes the provided conversation data and learns the conversation style and language of a specific person. For example, if the AI learns the conversation data of a grandfather, it imitates the grandfather's unique phraseology and way of speaking. After the learning is completed, the user starts a conversation with the AI. When a user talks to the AI, the AI responds based on the conversation style it has learned. For example, if the user says, "Grandpa, how was your day?", the AI Grandpa will respond with, "I was looking at flowers in the garden today." Also, when learning interactions with a boss that the AI dislikes, the AI will mimic the boss's feedback style. For example, if the user asks the AI, "What do you think of this presentation?", the AI boss will provide feedback such as, "You should add a little more specific data." This system allows users to recreate conversations with specific people and feel an emotional connection. Also, by simulating interactions with the boss, the AI can prepare for real situations. This allows the conversation simulation system to allow users to recreate conversations with specific people and feel an emotional connection. Also, by simulating interactions with the boss, the AI can prepare for real situations.
[0029] The conversation simulation system according to the embodiment includes a providing unit, an analyzing unit, a learning unit, and a responding unit. The providing unit provides past conversation data of a user in a messenger app. The conversation data includes, for example, text data, voice data, video data, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The providing unit can provide, for example, past conversation data of a user in a messenger app in text format. The providing unit can also provide voice data and video data. The analyzing unit analyzes the conversation data provided by the providing unit. The analysis is performed, for example, by a method such as natural language processing, emotion analysis, topic modeling, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the analyzing unit analyzes the conversation data using a natural language processing technique to extract a conversation style and a wording of a specific person. The analyzing unit can also analyze the emotional tone of the conversation data using emotion analysis technology. Furthermore, the analyzing unit can analyze the topic of the conversation data using topic modeling technology. The learning unit learns the conversation style based on the data analyzed by the analyzing unit. The learning is performed, for example, by a method such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the learning unit learns the conversation style of a specific person using supervised learning. The learning unit can also learn patterns of conversation data using unsupervised learning. Furthermore, the learning unit can optimize the conversation style using reinforcement learning. The response unit generates a response based on the conversation style learned by the learning unit. The response is generated by a method such as, for example, template-based response generation, response generation using a generative model, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the response unit generates a response based on the conversation style of a specific person using template-based response generation. Furthermore, the response unit can also generate a response based on the conversation style of a specific person using a generative model. This allows the conversation simulation system according to the embodiment to allow the user to reproduce a conversation with a specific person and feel an emotional connection. Furthermore, by simulating an exchange with a boss, the user can prepare for an actual situation.Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the providing unit, the analyzing unit, the learning unit, and the responding unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit inputs conversation data provided by a user to the generating AI, the analyzing unit analyzes the conversation data using the generating AI, the learning unit learns the conversation style using the generating AI, and the responding unit generates a response using the generating AI.
[0030] The providing unit provides past conversation data of a user in a messenger app. The conversation data includes, for example, text data, voice data, video data, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the providing unit can provide the past conversation data of a user in a messenger app in text format. The providing unit can also provide voice data and video data. Specifically, the user can upload text data exported from the messenger app to the providing unit. In the case of voice data, the user can upload a recorded voice file to the providing unit, and in the case of video data, the user can upload a recorded video file to the providing unit. The providing unit receives these data, converts them into an appropriate format, and passes them to the analyzing unit. For example, the voice data is converted into text data using voice recognition technology, and the video data is converted into text data by extracting the voice portion using video analysis technology. In this way, the providing unit can centrally manage conversation data in various formats, and the analyzing unit can efficiently analyze the data. In addition, the providing unit can anonymize and encrypt the data in order to protect the privacy of the data provided by the user. This allows the user to provide data with peace of mind. Furthermore, the provision unit has a function for checking the quality of data provided by the user, detecting missing or inappropriate data, and notifying the user. In this way, the provision unit supports the analysis unit in using high-quality data.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the conversation data provided by the provision unit. The analysis is performed by, for example, natural language processing, emotion analysis, topic modeling, or other methods, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the conversation data using natural language processing technology to extract the conversation style and language of a specific person. The analysis unit can also analyze the emotional tone of the conversation data using emotion analysis technology. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the topic of the conversation data using topic modeling technology. Specifically, natural language processing technology is used to extract keywords and phrases from the conversation data to grasp the characteristics of the language and speaking style of a specific person. Emotion analysis technology is used to analyze the emotional tone of each statement in the conversation data and classify them into emotion categories such as positive, negative, and neutral. Topic modeling technology is used to identify topics that are frequently discussed in the conversation data and grasp the overall theme and flow of the conversation. In this way, the analysis unit can analyze the provided conversation data from multiple angles and grasp the conversation style, emotional tendencies, and topic tendencies of a specific person in detail. Furthermore, the analysis unit stores the analysis results in a database so that the learning unit and the response unit can access them. The analysis unit has the ability to analyze data in real time and can perform analysis quickly every time a user provides new conversation data. This enables the analysis unit to always provide analysis results based on the latest data, improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire system.
[0032] The learning unit learns the conversation style based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The learning is performed by, for example, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the learning unit learns the conversation style of a specific person using supervised learning. The learning unit can also learn the patterns of the conversation data using unsupervised learning. Furthermore, the learning unit can optimize the conversation style using reinforcement learning. Specifically, the learning unit uses supervised learning to learn the conversation style and language of a specific person extracted by the analysis unit, and reflects the characteristics of the person in the model. The learning unit uses unsupervised learning to automatically extract common patterns and features from the conversation data and grasp the general tendency of the conversation. The learning unit uses reinforcement learning to learn a strategy for generating optimal responses through a conversation in a simulation environment. This allows the learning unit to reproduce the conversation style of a specific person with high accuracy and generate more natural and realistic responses when a user simulates a conversation with that person. Furthermore, the learning unit periodically updates the learning results and improves the model based on new data and feedback. This enables the learning unit to constantly provide highly accurate conversational styles based on the latest information, improving the performance of the entire system.
[0033] The response unit generates a response based on the conversation style learned by the learning unit. The response is generated by, for example, a method such as template-based response generation or response generation using a generative model, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the response unit generates a response based on the conversation style of a specific person using template-based response generation. The response unit can also generate a response based on the conversation style of a specific person using a generative model. Specifically, the template-based response generation is used to generate a response that matches the language and speaking style of a specific person based on a response template prepared in advance. The generative model is used to generate a natural response that reflects the conversation style learned by the learning unit. The generative model is constructed using, for example, a transformer model or a recurrent neural network (RNN), and generates an appropriate response based on input conversation data. This allows the response unit to provide a realistic and natural response when the user simulates a conversation with a specific person. Furthermore, the response unit also has a function of evaluating the quality of the generated response and making corrections or improvements as necessary. For example, if the generated response is inappropriate or does not meet the user's expectations, the response unit generates other response candidates and selects the optimal response. In addition, the response unit can collect feedback from users and use it to improve the response generation model, thereby enabling the response unit to consistently provide high-quality responses and improve user satisfaction.
[0034] The conversation simulation system includes a pre-processing unit that performs pre-processing of the conversation data.

For example, the providing unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI, analyze it using the generating AI, and provide related conversation data.
[0043] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the conversation data during the analysis. The analysis unit, for example, evaluates the importance of the conversation data. The evaluation of the importance includes frequency analysis and analysis of the user's interest. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the frequency of the conversation data and evaluates the importance. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's interest and evaluate the importance. Next, the analysis unit adjusts the level of detail of the analysis based on the evaluated importance. For example, a detailed analysis is performed on important conversation data. Also, a simplified analysis can be performed on general conversation data. Furthermore, an analysis can be focused on conversation data in which the user is particularly interested. As a result, an efficient analysis is performed by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the conversation data. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI.

For example, the analysis unit classifies the conversation data by topic. The analysis unit can also classify the conversation data by content. Next, the analysis unit applies different analysis algorithms depending on the classified category. For example, an analysis algorithm that emphasizes emotional tone can be applied to conversation data with family members. An analysis algorithm that emphasizes efficiency can also be applied to work-related conversation data. Furthermore, an analysis algorithm that emphasizes familiarity can also be applied to conversation data with friends. In this way, by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the conversation data, more appropriate analysis can be performed. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input category data of the conversation data to a generation AI and apply different analysis algorithms using the generation AI.
[0045] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the submission time of the conversation data during analysis. The analysis unit, for example, evaluates the submission time of the conversation data. The evaluation of the submission time includes recording the submission date and time and managing the submission order. For example, the analysis unit records the submission date and time of the conversation data. The analysis unit can also manage the submission order of the conversation data. Next, the analysis unit adjusts the order of analysis based on the evaluated submission time. For example, recent conversation data is preferentially analyzed. Conversation data that was concentrated in a specific period can also be preferentially analyzed.

The data generation model 58 includes, for example, a text generation AI, an image generation AI, and a multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing while using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction, and in this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In the data processing device 12 and the like, the data generation model 58 includes a plurality of types, and the data generation model 58 includes an AI other than the generation AI.

[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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 you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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."
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
