Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A presentation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for improving the quality of presentations using a generative AI. This presentation support system provides the presenter with a wide variety of opinions on the slides by inputting presentation slides into the generative AI and assigning different perspectives to the generative AI. For example, the generative AI can be assigned perspectives such as expert, novice, critical, experts from different industries, and people with different cultural backgrounds. The generative AI generates opinions on the slides based on each perspective. For example, an expert's perspective may generate opinions on technical details, a beginner's perspective may generate opinions on understandability, and a critical perspective may generate opinions on areas for improvement. The presentation slides can then be modified and improved based on the generated opinions. This is expected to improve the quality of the presentation and enhance audience response. For example, when inputting presentation slides into the generative AI, the slide content and structure are described in detail. Next, different perspectives are assigned to the generative AI. The generative AI generates opinions on the slides based on each perspective. The presentation slides are then modified and improved based on the generated opinions. For example, technical details may be added to reflect the expert's opinion, or understandability may be improved to reflect the beginner's opinion. This is expected to improve the quality of presentations and result in better audience responses. Furthermore, it is important to have a mechanism to ensure the quality of the opinions generated by the generative AI. For example, one possible method would be for the generative AI to learn from past presentation data and generate opinions based on that data. This is expected to improve the quality of the opinions generated, and therefore the quality of the presentation. In this way, the presentation support system can improve the quality of presentations.
[0029] A presentation support system according to an embodiment includes an input unit, a position assignment unit, a generation unit, and a correction unit. The input unit inputs presentation slides. The presentation slides may include, but are not limited to, technical content, business content, and educational content. The input unit may, for example, describe the content and structure of the slides in detail. The position assignment unit assigns different positions based on the slides input by the input unit. The position assignment unit may assign positions such as expert, novice, critical viewpoint, experts in different industries, and people with different cultural backgrounds. The generation unit generates opinions about the slides based on the positions assigned by the position assignment unit. The generation unit generates opinions about the slides based on each position using, for example, a generation AI. The generation AI may be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. For example, the generation unit may generate opinions about technical details from an expert's perspective, opinions about understandability from a beginner's perspective, and opinions about areas for improvement from a critical viewpoint. The correction unit corrects and improves slides based on the opinions generated by the generation unit. The correction unit may, for example, change the layout of slides or add or delete content based on the generated opinions. The correction unit may, for example, add technical details based on the opinions of experts or improve understandability based on the opinions of beginners. This allows the presentation support system according to the embodiment to improve the quality of presentations. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI. For example, the generation unit may learn past presentation data and generate opinions based on the data.

[0054] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0055] Step 1: The input section inputs the slides of the presentation. The slides of the presentation may include technical content, business content, educational content, etc. The input section can describe the content and structure of the slides in detail. Step 2: The position assignment unit assigns different positions based on the slides input by the input unit. The position assignment unit can assign positions such as expert, novice, critical viewpoint, experts from different industries, people with different cultural backgrounds, etc. Step 3: The generator generates opinions about the slides based on the positions assigned by the position assignment unit. The generator uses a generation AI to generate opinions about the slides based on each position. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. The generator generates opinions about technical details from an expert's perspective, opinions about understandability from a beginner's perspective, and opinions about areas for improvement from a critical perspective. Step 4: The Revision Team modifies and improves the slides based on the feedback generated by the Generation Team. The Revision Team can change the layout of the slides or add or remove content based on the feedback generated. The Revision Team can add technical details based on the feedback of experts and improve the clarity based on the feedback of beginners.
[0056] (Example 2) A presentation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for improving the quality of presentations using a generative AI. This presentation support system provides the presenter with a wide variety of opinions on the slides by inputting presentation slides into the generative AI and assigning different perspectives to the generative AI. For example, the generative AI can be assigned perspectives such as expert, novice, critical, experts from different industries, and people with different cultural backgrounds. The generative AI generates opinions on the slides based on each perspective. For example, an expert's perspective may generate opinions on technical details, a beginner's perspective may generate opinions on understandability, and a critical perspective may generate opinions on areas for improvement. The presentation slides can then be modified and improved based on the generated opinions. This is expected to improve the quality of the presentation and enhance audience response. For example, when inputting presentation slides into the generative AI, the slide content and structure are described in detail. Next, different perspectives are assigned to the generative AI. The generative AI generates opinions on the slides based on each perspective. The presentation slides are then modified and improved based on the generated opinions. For example, technical details may be added to reflect the expert's opinion, or understandability may be improved to reflect the beginner's opinion. This is expected to improve the quality of presentations and result in better audience responses. Furthermore, it is important to have a mechanism to ensure the quality of the opinions generated by the generative AI. For example, one possible method would be for the generative AI to learn from past presentation data and generate opinions based on that data. This is expected to improve the quality of the opinions generated, and therefore the quality of the presentation. In this way, the presentation support system can improve the quality of presentations.

Also, if the presenter is confident, the emotion estimation unit can provide support to help the presenter maintain that confidence. Furthermore, if the presenter is feeling impatient, the emotion estimation unit can adjust the pace of the presentation. In this way, the presentation support system can provide support according to the presenter's emotions and improve the quality of the presentation.
[0093] The presentation support system can further include a sentiment analysis unit. The sentiment analysis unit can analyze the emotions of the audience during the presentation and adjust the content of the presentation based on the analysis results. For example, if the audience is excited, the sentiment analysis unit can make the content of the presentation more stimulating. If the audience is feeling anxious, the sentiment analysis unit can also add content that reassures them. Furthermore, if the audience is losing interest, the sentiment analysis unit can change the content of the presentation to re-engage them. This allows the presentation support system to provide flexible presentations that correspond to the emotions of the audience.
[0094] The presentation support system may further include an emotion prediction unit. The emotion prediction unit may predict the emotions of the audience based on the content of the presentation and adjust the progress of the presentation based on the prediction result. For example, if the emotion prediction unit predicts that a particular slide will excite the audience, it may emphasize the slide. Also, if the emotion prediction unit predicts that particular content will cause anxiety in the audience, it may adjust the content to be more toned down. Furthermore, if the emotion prediction unit predicts that a particular topic will interest the audience, it may delve deeper into the topic. In this way, the presentation support system can predict the emotions of the audience and improve the quality of the presentation.
[0095] The presentation support system may further include an emotion adjustment unit. The emotion adjustment unit adjusts the presenter's emotions during the presentation and supports the progress of the presentation based on the adjustment results. For example, if the presenter is nervous, the emotion adjustment unit may provide breathing exercises or mental techniques to help the presenter relax. If the presenter is confident, the emotion adjustment unit may provide positive feedback to help the presenter maintain their confidence. Furthermore, if the presenter is feeling impatient, the emotion adjustment unit may provide advice to help the presenter stay calm. In this way, the presentation support system can adjust the presenter's emotions and improve the quality of the presentation.

[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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).
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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."
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
