In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The data conversion system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to analyze data in a wide variety of formats held by local governments, converting it into machine-readable data, and accelerating the shift to open data in local governments nationwide. As a result, the data conversion system can efficiently convert local government data into machine-readable data, accelerating the shift to open data in local governments nationwide.
[0029] The data conversion system according to the embodiment includes a data collection unit, a data analysis unit, a data conversion unit, a data integration unit, and a data standardization unit. The data collection unit collects data in multiple formats. For example, it scans and digitizes paper data. It can also convert PDF and JPG format data into text data using image analysis technology. It can also import Excel and CSV format data directly and format the data as needed. The data analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. For example, a generation AI classifies and formats the data based on instructions regarding the data format and content. The data analysis unit can also check the consistency and integrity of the data and eliminate unreliable data. The data conversion unit converts the data analyzed by the data analysis unit into a machine-readable format. For example, it can convert scanned paper data, PDF, and JPG format data into text data using OCR technology. It can also convert Excel and CSV format data into a unified format. The data integration unit integrates the data converted by the data conversion unit. For example, it can convert data of the same category provided by different local governments into a unified format and centrally manage it. The data standardization unit stores the data integrated by the data integration unit in a unified format. For example, it adds meta information to the data and creates a data catalog. As a result, the data conversion system according to the embodiment can efficiently convert data in a wide variety of formats into machine-readable data, accelerating the shift to open data in local governments across the country. For example, it will make it easier for local governments to share data, accelerating the use of data that is useful for solving local issues and formulating policies. Furthermore, data standardization will enable data analysis and comparison on a national scale, which is expected to lead to more effective policy implementation.
[0030] The data collection unit can evaluate the reliability of data as it collects it and automatically filter out unreliable data. For example, when the generation AI collects data, it analyzes the source and provider of the data and prioritizes the collection of reliable data. For example, it prioritizes data from official local government websites. To evaluate the reliability of the data, the generation AI checks the consistency and integrity of the data and automatically eliminates unreliable data. For example, it filters out contradictory or incomplete data. Furthermore, when the generation AI collects data, it evaluates the frequency and recency of the data and automatically filters out old or infrequently updated data. For example, it prioritizes the collection of the most recent data. This improves data quality by eliminating unreliable data.
[0031] The data collection unit can detect duplicate data when collecting data and automatically eliminate duplicate data. For example, when the generation AI collects data, it analyzes the content of the data and automatically detects duplicate data. For example, it eliminates duplicates when data with the same content is provided in multiple formats. To detect duplicate data, the generation AI also analyzes the data's meta information (e.g., creation date and time, source, etc.) and automatically eliminates duplicate data. For example, it combines data from the same source into one. Furthermore, when the generation AI collects data, it compares the content of the data and automatically integrates duplicate data. For example, it combines the same data provided in different formats into one. This eliminates duplicate data, enabling efficient data management.
[0032] The data collection unit can also collect audio data or video data and convert this data into text data. In the data collection unit, for example, the generation AI collects audio data and converts it into text data using voice recognition technology. For example, recordings of meetings are converted into text. The generation AI also collects video data and converts it into text data using video analysis technology. For example, the content of a presentation video is converted into text. A system is also built in which audio data and video data are collected and the generation AI converts them into text data. For example, the content of the audio and video is automatically analyzed and saved as text data. This ensures data diversity by converting audio data and video data into text data as well.
[0033] The data analysis unit can understand the context of the data when analyzing it and perform data conversion based on the context. In the data analysis unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the context of the data and performs data conversion based on the context. For example, it understands the context of the sentence and converts it into appropriate text data. Furthermore, to understand the context of the data, the generation AI refers to related information and performs data conversion based on the context. For example, it maintains data consistency by referring to related databases. Furthermore, a system is constructed in which the generation AI analyzes the context of the data and performs data conversion based on the context. For example, it understands the meaning of the data and converts it into an appropriate format. In this way, by understanding the context of the data, more accurate data conversion becomes possible.
[0034] The data analysis unit can detect outliers in the data during data analysis and automatically correct them. For example, the generation AI detects outliers in the data during data analysis and automatically corrects them. For example, it uses statistical methods to identify outliers and replace them with appropriate values. In addition, to detect outliers in the data, the generation AI refers to past data and automatically corrects them. For example, it identifies outliers by comparing with past data. In addition, a system is built in which the generation AI detects outliers in the data during data analysis and automatically corrects them. For example, it detects and corrects outliers in real time. This makes it possible to improve the accuracy of the data by automatically correcting outliers.
[0035] The data integration unit can evaluate the consistency of data when integrating data and automatically correct inconsistent data. For example, the data integration unit evaluates the consistency of data when the generation AI integrates data and automatically corrects inconsistent data. For example, it converts data in different formats into a unified format. In addition, to evaluate the consistency of data, the generation AI analyzes the content of the data and automatically corrects inconsistent data. For example, it unifies data in different unit systems. In addition, a system is constructed in which the generation AI evaluates the consistency of data when integrating data and automatically corrects inconsistent data. For example, rules are set to maintain data consistency. This makes it possible to maintain data consistency by correcting inconsistent data.
[0036] The data standardization unit automatically generates meta information for data when standardizing data, thereby improving the searchability of the data. For example, the generation AI automatically generates meta information for data when integrating data, improving the searchability of the data. For example, it adds meta information such as the date and time of data creation and the source of the data. In addition, to generate meta information for data, the generation AI analyzes the contents of the data and automatically generates appropriate meta information. For example, it automatically adds data categories and keywords. In addition, the generation AI automatically generates meta information for data when integrating data, building a system that improves the searchability of data. For example, it creates a search index for data based on the meta information. In this way, generating meta information improves the searchability of data.
[0037] The data standardization unit can automatically convert different data formats during data standardization and integrate them into a unified format. In this unit, for example, the generation AI automatically converts different data formats and integrates them into a unified format. For example, data in PDF or JPG format is converted into text data and integrated. In addition, to convert data formats, the generation AI uses a conversion model that supports various data formats and integrates them into a unified format. For example, data in Excel or CSV format is converted into a unified format. In addition, a system is built in which the generation AI automatically converts different data formats and integrates them into a unified format. For example, data format conversion rules are set and automatically applied. This unifies different data formats to maintain data consistency.
[0038] The data standardization unit can detect data redundancy during data standardization and automatically eliminate redundant data. For example, the data standardization unit detects data redundancy and automatically eliminates redundant data when the generation AI is integrating data. For example, if multiple pieces of data with the same content exist, duplicates will be eliminated. In addition, to detect data redundancy, the generation AI analyzes the content of the data and automatically eliminates redundant data. For example, if the same information is provided in different formats, redundant parts will be deleted. In addition, a system is built in which the generation AI detects data redundancy during data integration and automatically eliminates redundant data. For example, an algorithm that detects data duplication will be introduced. This will enable efficient data management by eliminating redundant data.
[0039] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0040] The data collection unit can collect data from IoT devices in real time. For example, it can collect data from environmental sensors to monitor changes in temperature and humidity in real time. It can also collect data from traffic sensors to understand traffic volume and congestion information in real time. It can also collect data from health monitoring devices to monitor an individual's health condition in real time. This makes it possible to collect data in real time, which is expected to enable rapid response.
[0041] The data analysis unit can use natural language processing technology to perform sentiment analysis of text data. For example, it can analyze social media posts to understand user sentiment. It can also analyze customer feedback to evaluate sentiment toward products and services. It can also analyze news articles to understand trends in social sentiment. This makes it possible to extract sentiment from text data and apply it to a variety of fields.
[0042] The data conversion unit can automatically translate data in different languages and provide the data in a unified language. For example, English data can be translated into Japanese, or French data can be translated into English. Furthermore, it is possible to build a multilingual database and centrally manage data in different languages. This makes it possible to handle data in different languages in a unified manner, facilitating international data sharing.
[0043] The Data Integration Department can use blockchain technology to ensure data reliability and transparency. For example, data change history can be recorded on the blockchain to prevent unauthorized changes. The blockchain can also be used to track the source of data, making the origin of the data clear. Furthermore, the data sharing process can be managed with the blockchain to ensure transparency. This improves data reliability and transparency and enables safe data sharing.
[0044] The Data Standardization Department can provide data visualization tools to make data easier to understand. For example, it can visually display data trends using graphs and charts, or plot data on a map to understand geographical distribution. It can also provide interactive dashboards that allow users to analyze data while manipulating it. This improves data visualization and promotes understanding and utilization of data.
[0045] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0046] Step 1: The data collection unit collects data in multiple formats. For example, paper data can be scanned and digitized. PDF and JPG format data can also be converted to text using image analysis technology. Excel and CSV format data can also be imported directly and formatted as needed. Step 2: The data analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. For example, the generation AI classifies and formats the data based on instructions regarding the format and content of the data.

For example, scanned paper data, PDF, or JPG format data can be converted into text using OCR technology. Excel or CSV format data can also be converted into a unified format. Step 4: The Data Integration Department integrates the data converted by the Data Conversion Department. For example, data of the same category provided by different local governments is converted into a unified format and managed centrally. Step 5: The data standardization unit stores the data integrated by the data integration unit in a unified format, for example by adding meta-information to the data and creating a data catalog.

The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, 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.
[0120] 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.
[0121] 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.
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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).
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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."
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
