Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A fact-checking system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that checks whether generated content is factual. This fact-checking system uses a generation AI to generate answers to user questions and crawls a reliable literature database, such as Google Scholar, to verify the accuracy of the generated answers. Specifically, the system searches the literature database using keywords related to the answer generated by the generation AI to obtain related literature. The system analyzes the content of the obtained literature to determine whether the generated answer is based on fact. Finally, the system provides the user with a correct answer. For example, the fact-checking system includes a reception unit that receives the answer generated by the generation AI. Next, the system includes a search unit that searches a literature database using keywords related to the generated answer. The search unit crawls a literature database, such as Google Scholar, to obtain related literature. The system further includes an analysis unit that analyzes the content of the obtained literature. The analysis unit compares the generated answer with the content of the literature to determine whether the generated answer is based on fact. At this time, the analysis unit also takes into account indicators for evaluating the reliability and relevance of the literature. Finally, the system includes a generation unit that generates a correct answer. The generation unit integrates the answer generated by the generation AI with the content of the literature to generate the final answer to be provided to the user. At this time, it identifies which parts of the answer generated by the generation AI match the content of the literature and corrects and supplements the inconsistent parts. Furthermore, the fact-checking system has an output unit that outputs the final answer to be provided to the user. The output unit provides the generated correct answer to the user. These components work together to create a system that checks whether the generated content is factual. This allows the fact-checking system to check whether the generated content is factual and provide the correct answer.
[0029] A fact-checking system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, a search unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an output unit. The reception unit receives an answer generated by a generation AI. The generation AI generates an answer using natural language generation technology or a machine learning algorithm.

For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the emotion analysis unit may relax the analysis criteria and provide quick results. On the other hand, if the user is relaxed, the emotion analysis unit may perform a detailed analysis and provide highly accurate results. This makes it possible to provide appropriate analysis criteria according to the user's emotion.
[0109] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0110] Step 1: The reception unit accepts the answer generated by the generation AI. The generation AI generates an answer using natural language generation technology and machine learning algorithms. For example, the generation AI receives a question from a user as input and generates an answer based on related information. Step 2: The search unit searches a literature database using keywords related to the answer received by the reception unit. The search unit crawls reliable literature databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed to obtain relevant literature. For example, the search unit receives keywords as input and searches a literature database to obtain relevant literature. Step 3: The analysis unit analyzes the content of the literature retrieved by the search unit. The analysis unit compares the answer generated by the generation AI with the content of the literature and determines whether the generated answer is based on facts. For example, the analysis unit may use text mining technology to analyze the content of the literature and evaluate the degree of agreement with the generated answer. The analysis unit also considers indicators for evaluating the reliability and relevance of the literature. Step 4: The generation unit verifies the answer generated by the generation AI based on the content of the literature analyzed by the analysis unit and generates a correct answer. The generation unit integrates the answer generated by the generation AI with the content of the literature to generate the final answer to be provided to the user. For example, the generation unit identifies which parts of the answer generated by the generation AI match the content of the literature and corrects and completes the inconsistent parts. Step 5: The output unit provides the user with the correct answer generated by the generation unit. The output unit notifies the user of the generated correct answer. For example, the output unit displays the answer through a web application or a mobile application. The output unit selects the optimal display method taking into account the user's device information.

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.

[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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).
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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."
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.

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.
