[0027] <Processing> Next, an example of processing of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 6. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of coaching card information according to the embodiment. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in an employee DB (database) 601 according to the embodiment.

[0028] In step S101, the acquisition unit 11 acquires input information from an employee reflecting on the training. Here, the acquisition unit 11 may acquire, as input information, information ("reflection") such as what the employee learned in the training, how to apply the content learned in the training to actual work, and matters that the employee would like to learn further based on the training. The acquisition unit 11 may acquire the reflection as text data input by the employee through a chat interface, for example.

[0029] The acquisition unit 11 may automatically detect the end of the training in cooperation with, for example, a training schedule and attendance management system. When the acquisition unit 11 detects the end of the training, it may send an automatic message to the employee requesting them to input a review.

[0030] The acquisition unit 11 may, for example, send a message to the employee terminal 20 such as, "Mr. A, thank you for your hard work in today's training. Please reflect on the training content and enter what you learned and what you noticed. By entering your reflections, you can further enhance the effectiveness of the training." to encourage the employee to enter their reflections.

[0031] Next, the extraction unit 12 performs natural language processing on the input information acquired by the acquisition unit 11 (step S102). Here, the extraction unit 12 may perform, for example, morphological analysis, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, etc. on the input information.

[0032] Next, the extraction unit 12 extracts action items and learning contents of the employee based on the natural language processing results of the input information (step S103). Here, the extraction unit 12 may extract action items and learning contents from the reflection using a method such as rule-based pattern matching or classification using a machine learning model. Here, the action items may be, for example, future actions or implementation items mentioned in the reflection. Furthermore, the learning contents may be realizations or lessons learned from the reflection.

[0033] Action items may be called by various names depending on the organization and usage context, such as tasks, action plans, next steps, action items, to-do items, improvement points, commitments, etc.

[0034] For example, suppose a reflection such as "Today's meeting was a lively discussion about a new project proposal. In particular, I learned about a method for visualizing ideas. I would like to prepare a project proposal by the next meeting and consult with my manager." is input. The extraction unit 12 may extract, for example, the part "I would like to prepare a project proposal by the next meeting and consult with my manager" as an action item. Furthermore, the extraction unit 12 may extract, for example, the part "I was able to learn about a method for visualizing ideas" as a learning content. Note that the extraction unit 12 may, for example, convert the extracted information into data in a structured format (for example, JSON format).

[0035] In addition, the extraction unit 12 may extract information indicating the training name, review date, review summary, learning content, details of the learning content, action items, progress of the action items, and the next action plan based on the results of natural language processing of the input information.

[0036] Next, the output unit 13 generates coaching card information based on the learning content and the like extracted by the extraction unit 12 (step S104). The output unit 13 may output the coaching card information in a format such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) or PDF (Portable Document Format). The coaching card information is a document summarizing the main points of the reflection, and may also be data that promotes employee awareness and behavioral change.

[0037] Coaching card information may include information such as the date and summary of the reflection, learning content including insights and lessons learned during the reflection, related action items, progress on the action items, and next action plans and goals. Employees can check their own growth and progress by referring to the coaching card information. Managers can also refer to the coaching card information to appropriately conduct interviews with employees. Note that coaching card information may be called by various names depending on the organization and usage situation. Coaching card information may also be called a reflection sheet, training record, individual development plan (IDP), learning journal, skill development sheet, career progress card, performance tracker, growth record notebook, etc.

[0038] FIG. 5 shows an example of coaching card information according to an embodiment. In the example of FIG. 5, the content of the coaching card information is expressed in two columns: item and content. The item column includes the training name, review date, review summary, learning content, learning content details, action items, progress of action items, next action plan, etc. The content column is used to enter specific information corresponding to each item. This table format allows the content of the coaching card information to be structured and organized in an easy-to-read format.

[0039] The output unit 13 may record coaching card information and the like in the employee DB 601. In the example of FIG. 6, the employee DB 601 stores input information (reflection data), one or more action items, one or more learning contents, and coaching card information in association with a combination of an employee ID and training information. In addition, the employee ID of the manager and schedule information are stored in association with the employee ID. The training information is information about training that is the subject of reflection by the employee. The training information may include, for example, a training ID, which is identification information for the training, a training name, a training period, and the like. The manager's employee ID is the employee ID of the employee's manager (e.g., superior). The manager's employee ID may be set in advance, for example, by an operator of the information processing device 10.

[0040] The information recorded in the employee DB 601 may be used for various analyses, such as visualizing each employee's reflection trends (such as frequency and content trends), tracking and managing the progress of action items, classifying learning content and creating skill maps, and analyzing the utilization status of coaching card information and its impact on behavioral change. Machine learning and data mining techniques may be used for these analyses. For example, the information processing device 10 may analyze the content of the coaching card information using natural language processing to discover effective reflection patterns. The results of the analysis may be visualized in the form of a dashboard or report and used to develop human resource development measures and support individual employees.

[0041] Next, when a specific action item is extracted by the extraction unit 12, the output unit 13 sends a meeting proposal (a meeting notification) to the employee and the manager (step S105). The notification may include the purpose of the meeting (to consult about the execution of the action item), related reflection content, and coaching card information. In the above-mentioned reflection example, the output unit 13 may determine that a meeting between the employee and the manager is necessary based on the specific action item "I would like to consult with the manager."

[0042] Next, the output unit 13 sets the date of the meeting in cooperation with the schedule management system, and when each participant approves their participation, the output unit 13 confirms the meeting schedule and registers it in the schedule calendar of each participant (step S106). Here, the output unit 13 may cooperate with, for example, a cloud service for schedule management, search for participants' free time, and propose the most suitable date and time.

[0043] Employees and managers can use coaching card information and other information during interviews. This improves the quality and efficiency of interviews, bringing benefits to both employees and managers. In other words, it improves the quality of person-to-person communication and makes it easier to change employee behavior.

[0044] (Example of a use case) Below is an example of a use case where an employee has taken a training course on "marketing." After taking the training course, the employee can enter their reflections through the chat interface. For example, they could enter, "I took the marketing training course and gained a deeper understanding of the importance of customer segmentation. I was particularly impressed by how they identified evangelists. I would like to utilize customer segmentation in future strategy planning."

[0045] The extraction unit 12 may apply morphological analysis, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, etc. to the input text data. This allows the structure and meaning of the sentence to be understood and converted into a format that can be processed mechanically. The extraction unit 12 extracts keywords such as "customer segmentation" and "evangelist" and analyzes the relationships between them.

[0046] Then, the extraction unit 12 may extract action items and learning content from the review content based on the analysis result. In this example, "We would like to utilize customer segmentation in future policy planning" is extracted as an action item, and "The importance of customer segmentation" and "How to identify evangelists" are extracted as learning content. The extraction result is saved as structured data in JSON format or the like.

[0047] The output unit 13 may propose a meeting between the employee and the manager when the action item is extracted. The purpose of the meeting may be to discuss the formulation of a policy utilizing customer segmentation. The notification of the meeting proposal may include a review related to the action item.

[0048] The output unit 13 may check the schedules of the employee and manager, search for available times for both parties, and propose the optimal date and time. For example, it may propose "next Monday from 10:00 to 11:00 is available for both parties." If both parties approve the proposed date and time, the meeting is confirmed and registered in their respective calendars.

[0049] The output unit 13 may also generate coaching card information that summarizes the review content and the extracted learning content. The coaching card information may include the training title "Marketing," the review date and summary, details of the learning content "The Importance of Customer Segmentation" and "How to Identify Evangelists," a related action item "Planning Measures Using Customer Segmentation" and its progress, and a next action plan. The output unit 13 may output the generated coaching card information in, for example, PDF format and distribute it to employees or managers.

[0050] The output unit 13 may also accumulate (record) the reflection data, action items, learning content, coaching card information, and the like generated during the series of activities. The accumulated data may be used for various analyses. For example, the data may be used to analyze the reflection content of all participants in a marketing training program to identify trends in topics with high levels of understanding and frequently extracted action items. The effectiveness of the training may also be evaluated by analyzing how the coaching card information is used and its impact on subsequent policy planning. In this way, by utilizing natural language processing and machine learning technologies to support the entire process from taking the training program to reflection, implementing the action plan, and follow-up, it is possible to maximize the effectiveness of the training and promote behavioral change in employees.

[0051] (An example of interactive response generation) Input information on the employee's reflection on the training may be acquired using interactive response generation. The extraction unit 12 may use, for example, a language model. The extraction unit 12 may generate an interactive response to the input text data of the reflection using, for example, a pre-trained language model. This enables, for example, interactive and flexible reflection support. Furthermore, it is possible to realize detailed support tailored to the reflection of each employee.

[0052] Here, a language model according to an embodiment will be described. A language model is a machine learning model (also called a generative model) that inputs a language and outputs a language. A language model learns the relationships between words in a sentence, and generates related strings related to a target string from the target string. By using a language model that has learned sentences and passages from various contexts, it is possible to generate related strings with appropriate content related to the target string. When a prompt (query) including instructions regarding a response is input, the language model outputs an answer corresponding to the prompt.

[0053] The learning method of the language model is not particularly limited, and as an example, the language model may be learned to output at least one sentence including an input string. Specifically, the language model may be a Generative Pretrained-Transformer (GPT) that outputs a sentence including an input string by predicting a string that is likely to follow the input string. Furthermore, the language model may be, for example, a Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer (T5), a Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), a Robustly optimized BERT approach (RoBERTa), or an Efficiently Learning an Encoder that Classifies Token Replacements Accurately (ELECTRA).

[0054] The extraction unit 12 may ask the employee additional questions about the action items and learning contents to be extracted from the reflection text data. When the extraction unit 12 receives a response from the employee, the extraction unit 12 may ask more in-depth questions based on the information, thereby interactively extracting the action items and learning contents as shown in FIG.

[0055] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a chat display screen 701 when interactively extracting learning content, etc., according to an embodiment. When an employee inputs learnings and realizations gained from training as text data, the extraction unit 12 may analyze the content of the text data and estimate the employee's level of understanding and interests. The extraction unit 12 may then ask specific questions to further deepen the employee's reflection. In the example of FIG. 7 , the extraction unit 12 asks, "You said that the method for identifying evangelists was impressive. What specific points did you find useful?" This question is intended to help the employee digest the training content in their own way and draw out hints for applying it to practice. After the employee answers the question, the extraction unit 12 may analyze the answer and ask more in-depth questions. The extraction unit 12 may repeat this process to interactively deepen the employee's reflection.

[0056] The extraction unit 12 may also automatically extract action items (matters that should be put into actual action) and learning contents (obtained knowledge and skills) from the chat contents (text data) of the employees, thereby enabling the employees to organize their own reflections and clarify specific next steps.

[0057] The extraction unit 12 may also mention new realizations or issues that arise from the employee's reflection. In the above example, by mentioning points such as "data collaboration with other departments" and "strengthening customer orientation throughout the organization," the extraction unit 12 broadens the employee's perspective and encourages the employee to reflect from a broader perspective.

[0058] As described above, interactive exchanges between the extraction unit 12 and employees realize two-way, deep introspection rather than simply one-way reflection. The extraction unit 12 appropriately interprets what employees say and asks questions and makes suggestions according to the context, thereby effectively drawing out employees' awareness and supporting their continuous growth.

[0059] The extraction unit 12 may also generate flexible responses according to the context by referring to information such as past review data and related documents, etc. This makes it possible to handle a variety of review patterns that are relatively difficult to handle with fixed rule-based processing.

[0060] The language model used by the extraction unit 12 can be fine-tuned specifically for the review support task to enable more advanced processing. Specifically, the extraction unit 12 can improve the accuracy of extracting action items and learning contents by additionally learning excellent past review cases as training data. The extraction unit 12 may use, for example, a model trained by machine learning using combinations of past input information and learning contents as training data.

[0061] (Example of providing support to administrators) The information processing device 10 may assist managers in understanding the content of employee reflections and further strengthening their coaching for more effective meetings. The output unit 13 may use the coaching card information to respond to questions from managers using natural language processing technology. The output unit 13 may be implemented, for example, using a large-scale language model. Fine-tuning the large-scale language model specifically for the coaching dialogue task enables the generation of more natural and contextual responses. Furthermore, the manager may continuously improve the model by feeding back insights gained from interactions to the model. For example, if the manager evaluates that "this example question would be better if it were more specific," the manager may add that evaluation to the model as learning data. This allows the model to incorporate organization-specific coaching know-how.

[0062] The output unit 13 may generate coaching option information in addition to the coaching card information. The coaching option information is information that indicates a plurality of coaching directions and specific advice options based on the employee's learning content and extracted action items.

[0063] For example, when the extracted learning content is "the importance of customer segmentation," the output unit 13 may generate the following coaching options: (1) Consider in detail how customer segmentation can be used in actual business operations. (2) Strengthen data collaboration with other departments and promote the collection and analysis of customer data. (3) Develop measures to increase customer orientation throughout the organization.

[0064] Managers can hold meetings with employees while referring to these coaching options. Each option may be accompanied by more detailed explanations and advice. By providing information on coaching options in this way, managers can efficiently select the optimal coaching direction for each employee, enabling more detailed coaching. Furthermore, by holding multiple discussions based on the options, it becomes easier to develop specific action plans together with employees.

[0065] The output unit 13 may answer a question from the manager as shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a chat display screen 801 when interactive coaching support according to the embodiment is provided. In the example of FIG. 8, a question such as "What is the employee's awareness of the problem behind this action item?" is input by the manager. The output unit 13 may analyze the contents of the coaching card information and past review data, etc., to understand the intent of the question and then generate an appropriate answer.

[0066] The output unit 13 may also provide hints for questions that a manager should ask employees in a meeting. For example, suppose a manager inputs a request such as, "I would like to discuss improving employee motivation in this meeting." The output unit 13 may analyze the content of the coaching card information and output (present) example questions such as, "What are the barriers to putting into practice what you learned in the training?" or "Why not ask about your future career vision?"

[0067] This allows managers to attend meetings with a deeper understanding of their employees' situations. Furthermore, rather than simply reading the coaching card information, managers can resolve any questions they may have about it and identify areas that need further digging, thereby improving the quality of meetings.

[0068] <Other> It is not easy to apply the content of training to actual work and lead to behavioral change. Traditionally, employee reflections have often been conducted according to standardized templates, which tended to lack flexibility. Furthermore, there was not enough of a system in place to utilize the content of reflections to improve work.

[0069] On the other hand, according to the present disclosure, coaching card information including information on the learning content, etc. is generated based on input information from employees reflecting on the training. This can, for example, help employees better utilize the training in their work.

[0070] <Modification> The output unit 13 may analyze the interview results and provide feedback. The output unit 13 may generate useful information for at least one of the employee and the manager by performing information processing on the interview results. For example, the output unit 13 may generate more effective feedback by transcribing the audio of the interview and summarizing and analyzing it using a language model. The output unit 13 may use a language model to understand the content of the interview, extract important points, and generate a summary. Furthermore, the output unit 13 may suggest advice or areas for improvement to the manager or employee, taking into account the context of the interview. For example, the output unit 13 may notify the employee or manager of advice such as "You need to improve your communication skills" or "Setting specific goals is effective."

[0071] The output unit 13 may also perform emotion analysis on the voice data to estimate the emotional state of the interview participant. For example, the output unit 13 may extract prosodic features (pitch, volume, speed, etc.) of the voice of the interview participant and classify the emotion using a machine learning model (e.g., support vector machine or convolutional neural network).

[0072] Alternatively, the output unit 13 may estimate stress and emotions with higher accuracy by also analyzing biological information (heart rate, electrodermal activity, body temperature, etc.) acquired using a wearable device. For example, a decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) or an increase in electrodermal activity (EDA) can be used as an indicator of a stress state.

[0073] The output unit 13 may analyze this data in chronological order to visualize at what point in the interview the participants' emotions or stress levels changed. Specifically, a graph may be generated that measures time on the horizontal axis and emotional intensity or stress levels on the vertical axis, with topics of the interview and important events overlaid on the graph. This allows the output unit 13 to visually grasp the participants' reactions to specific topics or questions. For example, the output unit 13 may generate specific insights such as "The stress level rose when the topic of performance evaluation came up." By providing such an integrated analysis of emotion analysis and vital data, the output unit 13 can evaluate the quality of the interview, leading to more effective communication and human resource development.
