[0028] (Example 1) A medical information reliability assessment system according to an embodiment of the present invention evaluates the reliability of search results provided by a generative AI and answers provided by an assistant, and displays the results in an easy-to-understand manner for users. Based on big data such as papers and citation counts, the system graphically visualizes the reliability of answers provided by the generative AI using a UI such as a meter or gauge, allowing users to make better decisions. This allows the medical information reliability assessment system to minimize the impact of unintentional biases introduced by the generative AI, enabling users to make decisions based on highly reliable information.
[0029] A medical information reliability evaluation system according to an embodiment includes a reliability evaluation unit and a visualization unit. The reliability evaluation unit evaluates the reliability of an answer generated by a generation AI in response to a user's question. For example, the reliability evaluation unit calculates reliability based on the number of related papers and the number of citations. The reliability evaluation unit also checks the consistency of the answer provided by the generation AI with the related papers. The reliability evaluation unit also analyzes the number of citations of papers related to the answer provided by the generation AI and uses the result as part of the reliability evaluation. For example, the reliability evaluation unit calculates a reliability score based on the number of related papers and the number of citations, and evaluates the reliability of the answer based on the score. The visualization unit displays the reliability evaluated by the reliability evaluation unit using a UI such as a meter or gauge. For example, a green meter is displayed when reliability is high, and a red meter is displayed when reliability is low. The visualization unit also displays detailed analysis results of the reliability evaluation in text and graphs, allowing the user to understand the basis for the reliability. The visualization unit also personalizes the reliability evaluation results based on the user's past search history and behavioral patterns, providing an individually optimized display. For example, the results of the reliability evaluation are personalized based on the user's past search history and behavioral patterns, and an individually optimized display is provided. This allows the medical information reliability evaluation system according to the embodiment to minimize the influence of unintentional bias caused by the generating AI, allowing users to make decisions based on highly reliable information. For example, when a doctor recommends a treatment for a patient, the doctor can make a decision based on more reliable information by referring to the reliability evaluation results of the generating AI. Furthermore, because the answers of the generating AI are evaluated based on papers and the number of citations, users can use the information with peace of mind.
[0030] The reliability evaluation unit can calculate the reliability scores of related papers in real time when generating an answer and dynamically adjust the reliability of the answer based on those scores. For example, when the generation AI generates an answer, the reliability evaluation unit calculates the reliability scores of related papers in real time. For example, it calculates a reliability score based on the publication year of the paper, the reliability of the author, the number of citations, etc., and dynamically adjusts the reliability of the answer based on that score. This makes it possible to calculate the reliability scores of related papers in real time and dynamically adjust the reliability of the answer.
[0031] The reliability evaluation unit can integrate and analyze multiple different data sources to evaluate reliability when generating an answer. For example, when the generation AI generates an answer, the reliability evaluation unit integrates and analyzes multiple different data sources. For example, it evaluates reliability by combining medical databases, expert opinions, patient case data, etc. This makes it possible to integrate and analyze multiple different data sources to evaluate reliability.
[0032] The reliability evaluation unit can analyze multimodal data including voice input or image input when generating an answer and reflect the results in the reliability evaluation. For example, when the generation AI generates an answer, the reliability evaluation unit analyzes multimodal data including voice input and image input and reflects the results in the reliability evaluation. For example, the reliability is evaluated by analyzing a doctor's voice memo or a patient's image data. This allows the multimodal data including voice input and image input to be analyzed and reflected in the reliability evaluation.
[0033] The reliability evaluation unit can combine and analyze AI models from different specialized fields when generating an answer, and perform a multifaceted reliability evaluation. For example, when the generation AI generates an answer, the reliability evaluation unit can combine and analyze AI models from different specialized fields, and perform a multifaceted reliability evaluation. For example, AI models from internal medicine, surgery, and pharmacy can be integrated to evaluate reliability. This allows AI models from different specialized fields to be combined and analyzed, and perform a multifaceted reliability evaluation.
[0034] The visualization unit can display the detailed analysis results of the reliability evaluation in text or graphs, allowing the user to understand the basis of the reliability. For example, the visualization unit displays the detailed analysis results of the reliability evaluation in text or graphs in addition to displaying meters or gauges. For example, it displays the calculation process of the reliability score and a list of referenced papers. In this way, the detailed analysis results of the reliability evaluation can be displayed in text or graphs, allowing the user to understand the basis of the reliability.
[0035] The visualization unit can personalize the results of the reliability evaluation based on the user's past search history or behavioral patterns, and provide an individually optimized display. For example, the visualization unit can personalize the results of the reliability evaluation based on the user's past search history or behavioral patterns, and provide an individually optimized display. For example, information related to keywords searched in the past is preferentially displayed. This allows the results of the reliability evaluation to be personalized based on the user's past search history or behavioral patterns, and provide an individually optimized display.
[0036] The visualization unit provides audio feedback of the reliability evaluation results, making it possible to accommodate visually impaired people. The visualization unit, for example, constructs a system that provides audio feedback of the reliability evaluation results in addition to displaying meters and gauges. For example, the reliability score and analysis results are read aloud. This allows the reliability evaluation results to be fed back audio, making it possible to accommodate visually impaired people.
[0037] The visualization unit can display the reliability evaluation results on a dashboard that can be customized by the user, allowing the necessary information to be confirmed at a glance. The visualization unit, for example, builds a system that displays the reliability evaluation results on a dashboard that can be customized by the user. For example, the user can freely set the display items and layout. This allows the reliability evaluation results to be displayed on a dashboard that can be customized by the user, allowing the necessary information to be confirmed at a glance.
[0038] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0039] The reliability evaluation unit analyzes a user's past search history and behavioral patterns to perform an individually optimized reliability evaluation. For example, for a user who has previously shown interest in a specific medical field, papers and data related to that field can be prioritized in the evaluation. Also, by placing emphasis on information sources that the user has previously rated as highly reliable, an individual reliability evaluation can be performed. Furthermore, it is also possible to dynamically adjust the reliability evaluation criteria based on the user's behavioral patterns.
[0040] The reliability evaluation unit can combine and analyze AI models from different fields of expertise to perform multifaceted reliability evaluations. For example, it can integrate AI models from internal medicine, surgery, and pharmacy to evaluate reliability. It can also evaluate the reliability of medical information by region by combining medical data from different regions. Furthermore, it can evaluate the reliability of medical information by era by combining data from different eras.
[0041] When generating a response, the reliability evaluation unit can analyze multimodal data, including voice input or image input, and reflect the results in the reliability evaluation. For example, it can analyze a doctor's voice memo or a patient's image data to evaluate reliability. Furthermore, by analyzing voice input, it is possible to understand the user's intentions and emotions and evaluate reliability based on that. Furthermore, by analyzing image input, it is possible to evaluate reliability based on visual information.
[0042] When generating answers, the reliability evaluation unit combines and analyzes AI models from different fields, enabling multifaceted reliability evaluation. For example, it can integrate AI models from internal medicine, surgery, and pharmacy to evaluate reliability. It is also possible to evaluate the reliability of medical information by region by combining medical data from different regions. Furthermore, it is possible to evaluate the reliability of medical information by era by combining data from different eras.
[0043] The visualization unit can display the detailed analysis results of the reliability assessment in text or graphs, allowing users to understand the basis for the reliability. For example, it can display the calculation process of the reliability score or a list of referenced papers. It can also use interactive graphs and charts to visually display the results of the reliability assessment in an easy-to-understand manner. It can also provide summary information to allow users to easily understand the detailed analysis results.
[0044] The visualization unit can provide audio feedback of the reliability evaluation results, making it possible to accommodate visually impaired users. For example, a system can be built that reads out the reliability scores and analysis results aloud. It is also possible to accommodate individual needs by allowing users to customize the content of the audio feedback. Furthermore, by providing audio feedback in real time, users can instantly check the reliability evaluation results.
[0045] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0046] Step 1: The reliability evaluation unit evaluates the reliability of the answers generated by the generation AI in response to user questions. For example, the reliability evaluation unit calculates reliability based on the number of related papers and the number of citations. It also checks how consistent the answers provided by the generation AI are with related papers and calculates a reliability score by analyzing the number of citations of the related papers. Step 2: The visualization unit displays the trustworthiness assessed by the trustworthiness assessment unit in a UI such as a meter or gauge. For example, if trustworthiness is high, a green meter is displayed, and if trustworthiness is low, a red meter is displayed. The visualization unit also displays detailed analysis results of the trustworthiness assessment in text and graphs, allowing users to understand the basis for trustworthiness. Furthermore, the visualization unit personalizes the trustworthiness assessment results based on the user's past search history and behavioral patterns, providing an individually optimized display.

It is also possible to accommodate individual needs by allowing users to customize the content of the audio feedback. Furthermore, by providing audio feedback in real time, users can instantly check the reliability evaluation results.
[0072] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0073] Step 1: The reliability evaluation unit evaluates the reliability of the answers generated by the generation AI in response to user questions. For example, the reliability evaluation unit calculates reliability based on the number of related papers and the number of citations. It also checks how consistent the answers provided by the generation AI are with related papers and calculates a reliability score by analyzing the number of citations of the related papers. Step 2: The visualization unit displays the trustworthiness assessed by the trustworthiness assessment unit in a UI such as a meter or gauge. For example, if trustworthiness is high, a green meter is displayed, and if trustworthiness is low, a red meter is displayed. The visualization unit also displays detailed analysis results of the trustworthiness assessment in text and graphs, allowing users to understand the basis for trustworthiness. Furthermore, the visualization unit personalizes the trustworthiness assessment results based on the user's past search history and behavioral patterns, providing an individually optimized display.

[0123] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0124] FIG. 9 illustrates 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. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0125] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically 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.
[0126] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0127] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0128] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs 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 a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0129] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of 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, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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.
[0132] Alternatively, 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 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0133] 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.
[0134] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0135] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with 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.
[0136] As an example of a system configured with a single 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 system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an 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.
[0137] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0138] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
[0139] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and to facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
