[0028] (Example 1) The knowledge synthesis platform of an embodiment of the present invention utilizes an LLM to provide tools for citing and synthesizing knowledge from multiple disparate fields and information sources to generate new insights and ideas. This system allows users to input their fields of interest and information sources, and the LLM analyzes the input information and cites related knowledge to perform synthesis. For example, the system combines information on cooking and medicine to analyze the effects of specific ingredients on mental health and propose dietary suggestions for improving mental health. In this way, users can combine knowledge from different fields to gain new insights and ideas. Based on the information entered by the user, the LLM automatically searches for and synthesizes related knowledge.

This allows users to efficiently utilize knowledge from different fields. Furthermore, the platform also provides a function for sharing the insights and ideas gained by users. For example, if a user obtains a suggestion for improving mental health through diet, the user can share that information with other users. This allows users to share knowledge with each other and generate further new insights and ideas. By crossing over information from different fields, this platform helps discover new perspectives and innovative ideas. For example, by combining cooking and medical information, it can propose dietary suggestions for improving mental health. In this way, users can gain a deeper understanding of existing knowledge and gain new insights. This allows the knowledge synthesis platform to efficiently utilize knowledge from different fields and gain new insights and ideas.

This makes it possible to efficiently suggest new fields and information sources based on the user's past search history.
[0052] The analysis unit can dynamically adjust the parameters of the analysis algorithm based on the user's past analysis results. For example, if the user has previously preferred detailed analysis results, the analysis unit can adjust the parameters of the algorithm to perform a more detailed analysis. Also, if the user has previously requested quick analysis results, the analysis unit can adjust the parameters of the algorithm to perform a quick analysis. Furthermore, if the user has previously preferred analysis results that are easy to understand visually, the analysis unit can adjust the parameters of the algorithm to provide analysis results that are easy to understand visually.

[0057] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0058] Step 1: The reception unit inputs the user's fields of interest and information sources. The reception unit receives the keywords entered by the user and sends them to the analysis unit. These fields include, for example, science and technology, business, and entertainment. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information input by the reception unit. The analysis is performed using methods such as text analysis, data mining, and statistical analysis. The analysis unit searches the database for information related to the input keywords and sends that information to the synthesis unit. Step 3: The synthesis unit performs synthesis based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. Synthesis is performed based on the method of information integration and the type of algorithm. For example, information from different fields can be combined to generate new insights and ideas. Step 4: The proposal section proposes new insights and ideas obtained by the synthesis section. The proposals may include proposals for innovative technologies or business models. The proposal section presents the generated insights and ideas to the user. Step 5: The sharing unit shares the insights and ideas suggested by the suggestion unit with other users. Sharing can be done via email, social media, cloud storage, etc. The sharing unit provides an interface for users to share their insights and ideas with other users.
[0059] (Example 2) The knowledge synthesis platform of an embodiment of the present invention utilizes an LLM to provide tools for citing and synthesizing knowledge from multiple disparate fields and information sources to generate new insights and ideas. This system allows users to input their fields of interest and information sources, and the LLM analyzes the input information and cites related knowledge to perform synthesis. For example, the system combines information on cooking and medicine to analyze the effects of specific ingredients on mental health and propose dietary suggestions for improving mental health. In this way, users can combine knowledge from different fields to gain new insights and ideas. Based on the information entered by the user, the LLM automatically searches for and synthesizes related knowledge. For example, if a user enters the keywords "cooking" and "medical care," the LLM searches for information on cooking and medicine and combines them to provide new insights. This allows users to efficiently utilize knowledge from different fields. Furthermore, the platform also provides a function for sharing the insights and ideas gained by users. For example, if a user obtains a suggestion for improving mental health through diet, the user can share that information with other users. This allows users to share knowledge with each other and generate further new insights and ideas. By crossing over information from different fields, this platform helps discover new perspectives and innovative ideas. For example, by combining cooking and medical information, it can propose dietary suggestions for improving mental health. In this way, users can gain a deeper understanding of existing knowledge and gain new insights. This allows the knowledge synthesis platform to efficiently utilize knowledge from different fields and gain new insights and ideas.

[0091] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0092] The reception unit can suggest new related fields and information sources based on the user's past search history. For example, if the user has frequently searched for information on "cooking" and "health" in the past, the reception unit can suggest information sources related to "nutrition" and "fitness." If the user has searched for information on "technology" and "education" in the past, the reception unit can suggest information sources related to "edtech" and "online learning." Furthermore, if the user has searched for information on "environment" and "economy" in the past, the reception unit can suggest information sources related to "sustainable development" and "green economy." This makes it possible to efficiently suggest new fields and information sources based on the user's past search history.
[0093] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of input based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can delay the timing of input and wait until the user is relaxed. Also, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can advance the timing of input and encourage the user to input while they are concentrating. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can optimize the timing of input and complete the input quickly. This makes it possible to provide the optimal timing of input according to the user's emotions.
[0094] The analysis unit can dynamically adjust the parameters of the analysis algorithm based on the user's past analysis results. For example, if the user has previously preferred detailed analysis results, the analysis unit can adjust the parameters of the algorithm to perform a more detailed analysis. Also, if the user has previously requested quick analysis results, the analysis unit can adjust the parameters of the algorithm to perform a quick analysis. Furthermore, if the user has previously preferred analysis results that are easy to understand visually, the analysis unit can adjust the parameters of the algorithm to provide analysis results that are easy to understand visually. In this way, it is possible to provide optimal parameters of the analysis algorithm based on the user's past analysis results.
[0095] The analysis unit can obtain the user's current interests and trends in real time and dynamically adjust the parameters of the analysis algorithm. For example, if the user is currently interested in "health," the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing health-related information. Also, if the user is currently interested in "technology," the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing technology-related information. Furthermore, if the user is currently interested in "environment," the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing environment-related information. This makes it possible to provide optimal analysis algorithm parameters based on the user's current interests and trends.
[0096] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the analysis unit can provide a simple, highly visible display method. If the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can also provide a display method that includes detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit can also provide a display method that focuses on the main points. In this way, it is possible to provide the optimal display method of the analysis results according to the user's emotions.
[0097] The synthesis unit can take time factors into account when combining information from different fields. For example, when combining cooking and medical information, it can take into account the seasonality and shelf life of ingredients. The synthesis unit can also take technological advances and changes in educational curricula into account when combining technology and education information. Furthermore, the synthesis unit can take into account economic cycles and fluctuations in environmental policy when combining environmental and economic information. This allows for the accuracy of synthesis to be improved by taking time factors into account when combining information from different fields.
[0098] The synthesis unit can estimate the user's emotion and dynamically change the synthesis method based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, if the user is relaxed, the method can be adjusted to perform detailed synthesis. If the user is in a hurry, the method can be adjusted to perform quick synthesis. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the method can be adjusted to provide a visually stimulating synthesis result. In this way, it is possible to provide an optimal synthesis method according to the user's emotion.
[0099] The synthesis unit can take cultural factors into account when combining information from different fields. For example, when combining cooking and medical information, it can take into account regional food culture and medical practices. The synthesis unit can also take into account educational systems and technology acceptance when combining technology and education information. Furthermore, the synthesis unit can take into account regional environmental awareness and economic policies when combining environmental and economic information. In this way, taking cultural factors into account when combining information from different fields improves the accuracy of synthesis.
[0100] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way suggestions are expressed based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, a simple and intuitive way of expression can be provided. If the user is relaxed, a way of expression including detailed information can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a way of expression that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, the optimal way of suggestion expression can be provided according to the user's emotions.
[0101] The suggestion unit can dynamically adjust the content of suggestions based on the user's past responses. For example, it can provide preferentially suggestions to which the user has responded favorably in the past. It can also avoid suggestions to which the user has responded negatively in the past. Furthermore, it can analyze the user's past responses and dynamically select optimal suggestions. This makes it possible to provide optimal suggestions based on the user's past responses.
[0102] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0103] Step 1: The reception unit inputs the user's fields of interest and information sources. The reception unit receives the keywords entered by the user and sends them to the analysis unit. These fields include, for example, science and technology, business, and entertainment. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information input by the reception unit. The analysis is performed using methods such as text analysis, data mining, and statistical analysis. The analysis unit searches the database for information related to the input keywords and sends that information to the synthesis unit. Step 3: The synthesis unit performs synthesis based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. Synthesis is performed based on the method of information integration and the type of algorithm. For example, information from different fields can be combined to generate new insights and ideas. Step 4: The proposal section proposes new insights and ideas obtained by the synthesis section. The proposals may include proposals for innovative technologies or business models. The proposal section presents the generated insights and ideas to the user. Step 5: The sharing unit shares the insights and ideas suggested by the suggestion unit with other users. Sharing can be done via email, social media, cloud storage, etc. The sharing unit provides an interface for users to share their insights and ideas with other users.
[0104] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0105] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of the generative AI include a neural network (NN) and a neural network (NN).

The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing 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 of voice data, text data, image data, etc. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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 model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and may perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-mentioned 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. The processing performed by an AI including the generative AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI including the generative AI.

[0144] 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.
[0145] 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).
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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).
[0161] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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.
[0162] 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."
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
