[0090] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0091] The analysis unit can evaluate the reliability of the data when analyzing the training data and prioritize the analysis of highly reliable data. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate reliability based on the data source and acquisition method. The analysis unit can also check the consistency and integrity of the data and exclude unreliable data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can detect outliers by comparing them with past data and filter out unreliable data. This allows for more accurate analysis results by prioritizing the analysis of highly reliable data. Reliability evaluation includes, but is not limited to, the reliability of the data source, data consistency, and comparison with past data. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using generative AI or not.
[0092] When collecting student learning data, the collection unit can adjust the collection method taking into consideration data privacy protection. For example, the collection unit anonymizes the data and collects it in a form that does not identify individuals. The collection unit can also encrypt the data to prevent unauthorized access by third parties. Furthermore, the collection unit can introduce a process to obtain students' consent when collecting data, thereby thoroughly protecting privacy. This makes it possible to collect learning data while protecting students' privacy. Privacy protection methods include, for example, anonymizing data, encrypting data, and obtaining consent. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI.
[0093] When analyzing learning data, the analysis unit can select an analysis algorithm taking into account the diversity of the data. For example, the analysis unit can combine multiple analysis algorithms to analyze data from students with different learning styles and backgrounds. The analysis unit can also customize the analysis results according to the diversity of the data and provide individualized feedback. Furthermore, the analysis unit can propose a learning plan based on the analysis results that reflect the diversity of the data. This enables analysis that takes into account the diversity of the data and provides more appropriate feedback. Examples of the diversity of the data include, but are not limited to, learning styles, backgrounds, and interests. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using or without the use of a generation AI.
[0094] When answering a student's question, the answering unit can evaluate the reliability of the answer and provide highly reliable answers preferentially. For example, the answering unit can clearly indicate the source and rationale of the answer and evaluate its reliability. The answering unit can also check consistency by comparing it with past answer history and exclude answers with low reliability. Furthermore, the answering unit can also provide answers that have been supervised by an expert preferentially. This allows students to deepen their understanding by providing highly reliable answers. Examples of the evaluation of reliability include, but are not limited to, the source, rationale, consistency, and expert supervision of the answer. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the answering unit may be performed using a generation AI or may be performed without using a generation AI.
[0095] When providing an exam plan, the plan providing unit can customize the plan based on the student's learning style. For example, the plan providing unit can provide a plan that makes extensive use of diagrams and graphs to a student who prefers visual learning. The plan providing unit can also provide a plan that utilizes audio and video to a student who prefers auditory learning. Furthermore, the plan providing unit can provide a plan that emphasizes experiments and exercises to a student who prefers practical learning. This maximizes learning effectiveness by providing a plan tailored to the student's learning style. Examples of learning styles include, but are not limited to, visual, auditory, and practical. Some or all of the above-described processing in the plan providing unit may be performed using or without a generation AI.
[0096] The data collection unit can estimate students' emotions and adjust the method of collecting learning data based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a student is feeling stressed, the data collection unit will collect data in a relaxing environment. If a student is concentrating, the data collection unit can also collect data for a short period of time to maintain their concentration. Furthermore, if a student is tired, the data collection unit can adjust the method of collecting data to collect it after a break. This allows for more appropriate data collection by adjusting the method of collecting learning data according to students' emotions. Emotion estimation is performed using methods such as facial recognition or survey results. Some or all of the above-described processes in the data collection unit may be performed using generative AI, or they may be performed without using generative AI.
[0097] The analysis unit can estimate the student's emotions and adjust the feedback method of the analysis results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the student is nervous, the analysis unit can provide simple and easy-to-understand feedback. If the student is relaxed, the analysis unit can also provide detailed feedback. Furthermore, if the student is in a hurry, the analysis unit can provide concise feedback. By adjusting the feedback method of the analysis results according to the student's emotions, more appropriate feedback becomes possible. Emotion estimation is performed using, for example, facial recognition or survey results. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using generative AI, or it may be performed without using generative AI.
[0098] The response unit can estimate the student's emotions and adjust the tone of its response based on those emotions. For example, if the student is feeling anxious, the response unit will respond in a reassuring, gentle tone. If the student is excited, the response unit can respond in an engaging, lively tone. Furthermore, if the student is relaxed, the response unit can respond in a calm tone that includes detailed explanations. This allows for more effective communication by adjusting the tone of response according to the student's emotions. Emotion estimation is performed using, for example, facial recognition or survey results. Some or all of the above processing in the response unit may be performed using generative AI, or it may be performed without generative AI.
[0099] The plan providing unit can estimate the student's emotions and adjust the content of the study plan based on the estimated student's emotions. For example, if the student is feeling stressed, the plan providing unit can provide a plan including content that will help the student relax. Furthermore, if the student is excited, the plan providing unit can provide a plan including content that will pique the student's interest. Furthermore, if the student is relaxed, the plan providing unit can provide a plan including content that will encourage deeper understanding. This allows for more effective learning by adjusting the content of the study plan according to the student's emotions. Emotions are estimated using, for example, facial expression recognition or questionnaire results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the plan providing unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI.
[0100] The plan providing unit can estimate the student's emotions and adjust the progress speed of the learning plan based on the estimated student's emotions. For example, if the student is feeling stressed, the plan providing unit can slow down the progress speed to allow the student to study at a relaxed pace. Furthermore, if the student is concentrating, the plan providing unit can speed up the progress speed to allow the student to study efficiently. Furthermore, if the student is tired, the plan providing unit can adjust the progress speed and allow the student to study while taking breaks. This allows for more effective learning by adjusting the progress speed of the learning plan according to the student's emotions. Emotions can be estimated using, for example, facial expression recognition or questionnaire results. Some or all of the above-described processing in the plan providing unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI.

[0140] 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0141] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.
[0142] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0143] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.
[0144] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0145] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.
[0146] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.
[0147] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, 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.
[0148] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0149] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0150] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0151] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0152] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[0153] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing 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. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.
[0154] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. 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.
[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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."
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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, to avoid confusion and 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.
