Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A comment classification system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to classify posted comments into categories such as "opposition" and "approval." Viewers can then select the desired comment by specifying a category. In this comment classification system, the generation AI first analyzes posted comments and classifies them into categories such as "opposition," "approval," "badmouthing," and "rumor." Viewers then select the desired category and the comments belonging to that category are displayed. This allows viewers to efficiently read only the comments they want to read. For example, when the generation AI analyzes posted comments, it analyzes the content of the comment in detail to identify trends in emotions and opinions. For example, a comment such as "I'm disappointed in this actor's behavior" would be classified into the "opposition" category. On the other hand, a comment such as "I support this actor" would be classified into the "approval" category. Next, the generation AI classifies the comments into categories based on the analysis results. For example, the comments could be classified into categories such as "opposition," "approval," "badmouthing," and "rumor." This makes it clear what opinions and emotions are expressed in the comments. Viewers then specify the desired category. For example, by selecting the "approval" category, only comments belonging to that category are displayed. This allows viewers to efficiently read only the comments they want to read. This system allows viewers to select comments that match their interests and concerns. For example, if you want to read supportive comments about an actor's affair, you can select the "positive" category to read only the supportive comments. In addition, since "badmouthing" and "rumors" are also categorized, viewers can select those comments as well. In this way, using generative AI makes it possible to efficiently classify posted comments and realize a system that allows viewers to select comments that match their interests and concerns. This allows the comment classification system to select and read comments that match their interests and concerns efficiently.
[0029] A comment classification system according to an embodiment includes an analysis unit, a classification unit, and a selection unit. The analysis unit analyzes posted comments. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the comments in detail to understand trends in emotions and opinions. The analysis unit analyzes the comments using, for example, natural language processing techniques. Natural language processing techniques include morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. For example, morphological analysis divides comments into words and identifies the part of speech of each word. Grammatical analysis analyzes the grammatical structure of the comments to clarify relationships such as subject, predicate, and object. Semantic analysis analyzes the meaning of the comments to understand trends in emotions and opinions. The classification unit classifies the comments analyzed by the analysis unit into categories. For example, the classification unit classifies the comments into categories using machine learning. Machine learning includes supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, and the like. For example, supervised learning trains a model using pre-labeled data to classify new comments into categories. Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to cluster comments and identify categories. Deep learning uses a multi-layer neural network to extract features of comments and classify them into categories. The selection unit displays the comments classified by the classification unit based on categories specified by the viewer. The selection unit, for example, filters and displays comments based on the categories specified by the viewer. For example, if a viewer selects the "positive" category, the selection unit displays only comments belonging to the "positive" category. This allows the viewer to efficiently read only the comments they want to read. Furthermore, the selection unit can refer to the viewer's past browsing history to preferentially display highly relevant comments. For example, the selection unit analyzes the viewer's past browsing history and displays comments related to topics of interest. This allows the viewer to select comments based on their interests and read them efficiently. As a result, the comment classification system according to the embodiment can efficiently analyze, classify, and display posted comments.

[0053] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0054] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the posted comments. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the comments in detail to understand the trends in emotions and opinions. The analysis unit analyzes the comments using natural language processing technology. Natural language processing technology includes morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. For example, morphological analysis divides the comments into words and identifies the part of speech of each word. Grammatical analysis analyzes the grammatical structure of the comments and clarifies the relationships between subjects, predicates, objects, etc. Semantic analysis analyzes the meaning of the comments and understands the trends in emotions and opinions. Step 2: The classification unit classifies the comments analyzed by the analysis unit into categories. The classification unit classifies comments into categories using machine learning. Machine learning includes supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and deep learning. For example, supervised learning uses pre-labeled data to train a model and classify new comments into categories. Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to cluster comments and identify categories. Deep learning uses a multi-layer neural network to extract features of comments and classify them into categories. Step 3: The selection unit displays the comments classified by the classification unit based on the category specified by the viewer. The selection unit filters and displays the comments based on the category specified by the viewer. For example, if the viewer selects the "positive" category, the selection unit displays only comments that belong to the "positive" category. Furthermore, the selection unit can refer to the viewer's past browsing history to prioritize the display of highly relevant comments. For example, the selection unit analyzes the viewer's past browsing history and displays comments related to topics of interest.
[0055] (Example 2) A comment classification system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to classify posted comments into categories such as "opposition" and "approval." Viewers can then select the desired comment by specifying a category. In this comment classification system, the generation AI first analyzes posted comments and classifies them into categories such as "opposition," "approval," "badmouthing," and "rumor." Viewers then select the desired category and the comments belonging to that category are displayed. This allows viewers to efficiently read only the comments they want to read. For example, when the generation AI analyzes posted comments, it analyzes the content of the comment in detail to identify trends in emotions and opinions. For example, a comment such as "I'm disappointed in this actor's behavior" would be classified into the "opposition" category. On the other hand, a comment such as "I support this actor" would be classified into the "approval" category. Next, the generation AI classifies the comments into categories based on the analysis results. For example, the comments could be classified into categories such as "opposition," "approval," "badmouthing," and "rumor." This makes it clear what opinions and emotions are expressed in the comments. Viewers then specify the desired category. For example, by selecting the "approval" category, only comments belonging to that category are displayed. This allows viewers to efficiently read only the comments they want to read. This system allows viewers to select comments that match their interests and concerns. For example, if you want to read supportive comments about an actor's affair, you can select the "positive" category to read only the supportive comments. In addition, since "badmouthing" and "rumors" are also categorized, viewers can select those comments as well. In this way, using generative AI makes it possible to efficiently classify posted comments and realize a system that allows viewers to select comments that match their interests and concerns. This allows the comment classification system to select and read comments that match their interests and concerns efficiently.

The classification unit can also take the length and format of the comment into consideration to classify the comment into a detailed category. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the category based on the length and format of the comment, more appropriate categorization is possible.
[0086] The analysis unit can estimate the emotion of the comment poster and adjust the comment analysis method based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the comment poster is angry, an analysis method that emphasizes expressions of anger can be applied. If the comment poster is sad, an analysis method that emphasizes expressions of sadness can be applied. Furthermore, if the comment poster is happy, an analysis method that emphasizes expressions of joy can be applied. In this way, by adjusting the analysis method based on the emotion of the comment poster, more appropriate analysis is possible.
[0087] The classification unit can estimate the emotion of the comment poster and adjust the category of the comment based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the comment poster is angry, the comment can be classified into the "opposition" category. If the comment poster is happy, the comment can be classified into the "positive" category. Furthermore, if the comment poster is sad, the comment can be classified into the "bad" category. In this way, adjusting the category based on the emotion of the comment poster allows for more appropriate categorization.
[0088] The selection unit can estimate the viewer's emotions and adjust the order of comments to be displayed based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the viewer is angry, comments that alleviate the anger can be displayed preferentially. Also, if the viewer is sad, comments that comfort the viewer can be displayed preferentially. Furthermore, if the viewer is happy, comments that express sympathy can be displayed preferentially. In this way, by adjusting the order of comments to be displayed based on the viewer's emotions, comments can be displayed in a more appropriate order.
[0089] The selection unit can estimate the viewer's emotions and determine the priority of comments to be displayed based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the viewer is angry, comments that alleviate the anger can be displayed preferentially. Also, if the viewer is sad, comments that comfort the viewer can be displayed preferentially. Furthermore, if the viewer is happy, comments that express sympathy can be displayed preferentially. In this way, by determining the priority of comments to be displayed based on the viewer's emotions, comments can be displayed in a more appropriate order.
[0090] The analysis unit can estimate the emotions of the comment poster and prioritize the analysis results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the comment poster has strong emotions, the analysis of that comment can be prioritized. Also, if the comment poster has neutral emotions, the analysis of that comment can be postponed. Furthermore, if the comment poster has positive emotions, the analysis of that comment can be prioritized. In this way, by prioritizing the analysis results based on the emotions of the comment poster, more important comments can be analyzed preferentially.
[0091] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0092] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the posted comments. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the comments in detail to understand the trends in emotions and opinions. The analysis unit analyzes the comments using natural language processing technology. Natural language processing technology includes morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. For example, morphological analysis divides the comments into words and identifies the part of speech of each word. Grammatical analysis analyzes the grammatical structure of the comments and clarifies the relationships between subjects, predicates, objects, etc. Semantic analysis analyzes the meaning of the comments and understands the trends in emotions and opinions. Step 2: The classification unit classifies the comments analyzed by the analysis unit into categories. The classification unit classifies comments into categories using machine learning. Machine learning includes supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and deep learning. For example, supervised learning uses pre-labeled data to train a model and classify new comments into categories. Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to cluster comments and identify categories. Deep learning uses a multi-layer neural network to extract features of comments and classify them into categories. Step 3: The selection unit displays the comments classified by the classification unit based on the category specified by the viewer. The selection unit filters and displays the comments based on the category specified by the viewer. For example, if the viewer selects the "positive" category, the selection unit displays only comments that belong to the "positive" category. Furthermore, the selection unit can refer to the viewer's past browsing history to prioritize the display of highly relevant comments. For example, the selection unit analyzes the viewer's past browsing history and displays comments related to topics of interest.

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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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).
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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."
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
