[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The educational support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that creates an ignorant AI and conducts lessons for a mischievous student AI that occasionally pretends to know things. The educational support system conducts explanations online, including writing on a whiteboard and giving verbal explanations, just like a real classroom lesson, and occasionally accepts questions from the AI. This system aims to be helpful in educational settings. First, the educational support system creates an ignorant AI. This AI has no basic knowledge and occasionally pretends to know things. Next, the educational support system conducts lessons online. The teacher gives explanations using a whiteboard and giving verbal explanations, and proceeds with the lesson for the student AI. For example, in a mathematics lesson, the teacher explains while writing mathematical formulas on a whiteboard, and the student AI tries to understand them. The student AI also occasionally asks questions. For example, it may ask questions such as, "What does this formula mean?" or "Why do we use this solution method?" The teacher answers these questions and continues the lesson. This system can improve teachers' skills and the quality of lessons by simulating lessons in educational settings. Furthermore, the student AI's ability to pretend to know things makes it easier for teachers to assess students' understanding. Additionally, online lessons are possible, allowing the system to accommodate teachers and students in remote locations. This enables the educational support system to improve teachers' skills and the quality of lessons.

[0029] The educational support system according to this embodiment comprises a creation unit, a teaching unit, and a question receiving unit. The creation unit creates an ignorant AI. The creation unit uses, for example, an algorithm to generate an AI that lacks basic knowledge. The creation unit may also include an algorithm that pretends to know things. For example, the creation unit programs the AI ​​to pretend to know things under specific conditions. The teaching unit conducts online lessons for the ignorant AI created by the creation unit. The teaching unit conducts lessons using, for example, a video conferencing tool. The teaching unit can also provide explanations using a whiteboard or verbally. For example, the teaching unit explains while drawing mathematical formulas and diagrams using a digital whiteboard. The question receiving unit receives questions from the AI ​​during lessons conducted by the teaching unit. The question receiving unit receives questions from the AI ​​using, for example, a chat function. The question receiving unit can also receive questions from the AI ​​using voice input. For example, the question receiving unit allows the AI ​​to input questions by voice, converts them into text, and displays them to the teacher. As a result, the educational support system according to this embodiment will be helpful in educational settings by creating an ignorant AI, conducting online lessons, and accepting questions from the AI.

[0030] The creation unit creates ignorant AI. For example, it uses algorithms to generate AI that lacks basic knowledge. Specifically, it generates AI without trained weights or biases during the initialization of the neural network. This ignorant AI has no specific domain knowledge or general knowledge and starts completely from a blank slate. The creation unit can also include algorithms that pretend to know. For example, if the AI ​​is programmed to pretend to know under certain conditions, it will be designed to confidently return incorrect answers to questions. This gives educators an opportunity to point out the AI's errors and teach the correct knowledge. Furthermore, the creation unit can also have the ability to monitor the AI's learning process and record its progress. This allows educators to track the AI's growth and adjust the curriculum as needed. The creation unit comprehensively manages the entire process of building the foundation of the AI, including initial setup, algorithm selection, and preparation of training data. This allows the creation unit to efficiently and effectively create ignorant AI that forms the basis of educational support systems.

[0031] The teaching department conducts online lessons for an uninformed AI created by the development department. The teaching department uses video conferencing tools, for example. Specifically, educators teach the AI ​​in real time via video conferencing, and the AI ​​learns the content. The teaching department can also provide explanations using a whiteboard or verbally. For example, it can use a digital whiteboard to draw formulas and diagrams while explaining, aiding visual understanding. The teaching department can also use presentation software to display slides and supplement explanations with text and images. Furthermore, the teaching department can include features for conducting quizzes and tests to assess the AI's understanding. This allows educators to track the AI's learning progress and adjust the lesson content as needed. The teaching department can also incorporate interactive elements to ensure the AI ​​learns the lesson content effectively. For example, it can ask the AI ​​questions and evaluate its answers to check its understanding. The teaching department can also provide archived recorded lessons so the AI ​​can review the learned content on its own. This allows the teaching department to provide effective education to an uninformed AI and support its learning.

[0032] The question reception unit receives questions from the AI ​​during lessons conducted by the teaching unit. For example, the question reception unit can receive questions from the AI ​​using a chat function. Specifically, if the AI ​​has questions during a lesson, it inputs them through the chat window and sends them to the educator. The question reception unit can also receive questions from the AI ​​using voice input. For example, the AI ​​can input a question by voice, which is then converted into text and displayed to the teacher. This voice recognition technology enables the AI ​​to ask questions in natural language, providing a more interactive learning environment. Furthermore, the question reception unit can also record the AI's question history for later reference. This allows educators to understand the AI's comprehension and learning progress and provide appropriate feedback. The question reception unit also assists the AI ​​in providing more appropriate answers by considering the context and background information when the AI ​​asks a question. For example, it can accurately understand the intent of the question and derive an appropriate answer based on what the AI ​​has learned in the past and the current lesson content. The question reception unit can also include a feedback function that allows the AI ​​to evaluate its own answers to questions and confirm its level of understanding. This allows the question-receiving department to effectively support the AI's learning process and facilitate smooth communication with educators.

[0033] The teaching staff can provide explanations using a whiteboard. For example, they can use a digital whiteboard to draw formulas and diagrams while explaining. They can also provide information visually using slide presentations. For example, they can display diagrams and graphs on slides and use them as a basis for explanations. Furthermore, they can provide explanations while writing on a whiteboard in real time. For example, they can use an online whiteboard to draw formulas and diagrams in real time while explaining. This allows them to provide lessons that are visually easy to understand by combining explanations using a whiteboard with other methods. Some or all of the above processes in the teaching staff may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the teaching staff can input formulas and diagrams drawn on a digital whiteboard into an AI, which can then analyze and supplement the explanation.

[0034] The teaching department can provide oral explanations. For example, the teaching department can provide oral explanations using a video conferencing tool. The teaching department can also provide audio-only explanations. For example, the teaching department can provide explanations using audio files. Furthermore, the teaching department can provide oral explanations in real time while simultaneously accepting questions. For example, the teaching department can provide oral explanations in real time using a video conferencing tool while accepting questions using the chat function. This allows for the provision of lessons that are easier to understand aurally through oral explanations. Some or all of the above processes in the teaching department may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the teaching department can input audio data into an AI, which can then analyze and supplement the explanation.

[0035] The question reception unit can receive questions from AI. For example, the question reception unit can receive questions from AI using a chat function. The question reception unit can also receive questions from AI using voice input. For example, the question reception unit can have the AI ​​input a question by voice, convert it to text, and display it to the teacher. Furthermore, the question reception unit can receive questions from AI in real time. For example, the question reception unit can receive questions from AI in real time using a video conferencing tool. This enables interactive lessons by accepting questions from AI. Some or all of the above processing in the question reception unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the question reception unit can input a question by voice into the AI, which can then analyze it and convert it to text.

[0036] The creation unit may include an algorithm for pretending to know something. For example, the creation unit may program an AI to pretend to know something under specific conditions. The creation unit may also adjust the frequency of pretending to know something. For example, the creation unit may set the AI ​​to pretend to know something with a certain probability. Furthermore, the creation unit may also randomly generate the content of the pretending to know something. For example, the creation unit may program the AI ​​to randomly generate content for pretending to know something and say it. This makes it easier for teachers to check students' understanding by having them pretend to know something. Some or all of the above processing in the creation unit may be performed using an AI, for example, or without an AI. For example, the creation unit may use an AI to generate content for pretending to know something, and the AI ​​may randomly generate content for pretending to know something.

[0037] The teaching department can conduct classes using online platforms. For example, the teaching department can conduct classes using video conferencing tools. The teaching department can also conduct classes using online whiteboards. For example, the teaching department can conduct classes while drawing formulas and diagrams on an online whiteboard. Furthermore, the teaching department can conduct classes in real time using online platforms. For example, the teaching department can conduct classes in real time using video conferencing tools and accept questions using a chat function. This allows the teaching department to accommodate teachers and students in remote locations by using online platforms. Some or all of the above processes in the teaching department may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the teaching department can input the content of classes on the online platform into an AI, which can then analyze and supplement the class.

[0038] The creation unit can add a function that allows the user to choose whether or not to give the ignorant AI specialized knowledge in a particular academic field when creating it. For example, if the user creates an ignorant AI specialized in mathematics, the creation unit can give it basic mathematical knowledge. The creation unit can also give the ignorant AI specialized in history, or basic historical knowledge. Furthermore, if the user creates an ignorant AI specialized in science, the creation unit can give it basic scientific knowledge.

For example, the creation unit can input knowledge data on a particular academic field into a generating AI, which can then analyze it and give the ignorant AI knowledge.

[0039] The creation unit can set the optimal knowledge level when creating an ignorant AI by referring to the user's past learning history. For example, the creation unit can set the knowledge level of the ignorant AI based on what the user has learned in the past. The creation unit can also set the knowledge level of the ignorant AI by considering the depth of knowledge in a specific field from the user's past learning history. Furthermore, the creation unit can analyze the user's past learning history and create an ignorant AI that reflects the most effective learning method. In this way, an ignorant AI with the optimal knowledge level can be created by referring to the user's past learning history. Some or all of the above processes in the creation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the creation unit can input the user's learning history data into a generating AI, and the generating AI can analyze it to set the knowledge level of the ignorant AI.

[0040] The creation unit can add a function to the creation of an ignorant AI that takes into account the user's geographical location and incorporates region-specific knowledge.

[0058] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0059] Step 1: The creation unit creates an ignorant AI. The creation unit uses an algorithm that generates an AI that lacks basic knowledge. It is also possible to program the AI ​​to pretend to know things under specific conditions. Step 2: The teaching team conducts online lessons for the uninformed AI created by the development team. The teaching team can use video conferencing tools to conduct lessons and explain concepts while drawing formulas and diagrams on a digital whiteboard. Step 3: The Question Reception Department receives questions from the AI ​​during lessons conducted by the Teaching Department. The Question Reception Department receives questions from the AI ​​using chat functions or voice input, converts them into text, and displays them to the teacher.

[0060] (Example of form 2) The educational support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that creates an ignorant AI and conducts lessons for a mischievous student AI that occasionally pretends to know things. The educational support system conducts explanations online, including writing on a whiteboard and giving verbal explanations, just like a real classroom lesson, and occasionally accepts questions from the AI. This system aims to be helpful in educational settings. First, the educational support system creates an ignorant AI. This AI has no basic knowledge and occasionally pretends to know things. Next, the educational support system conducts lessons online. The teacher gives explanations using a whiteboard and giving verbal explanations, and proceeds with the lesson for the student AI. For example, in a mathematics lesson, the teacher explains while writing mathematical formulas on a whiteboard, and the student AI tries to understand them. The student AI also occasionally asks questions. For example, it may ask questions such as, "What does this formula mean?" or "Why do we use this solution method?" The teacher answers these questions and continues the lesson. This system can improve teachers' skills and the quality of lessons by simulating lessons in educational settings. Furthermore, the student AI's ability to pretend to know things makes it easier for teachers to assess students' understanding. Additionally, online lessons are possible, allowing the system to accommodate teachers and students in remote locations. This enables the educational support system to improve teachers' skills and the quality of lessons.

[0061] The educational support system according to this embodiment comprises a creation unit, a teaching unit, and a question receiving unit. The creation unit creates an ignorant AI. The creation unit uses, for example, an algorithm to generate an AI that lacks basic knowledge. The creation unit may also include an algorithm that pretends to know things. For example, the creation unit programs the AI ​​to pretend to know things under specific conditions. The teaching unit conducts online lessons for the ignorant AI created by the creation unit. The teaching unit conducts lessons using, for example, a video conferencing tool. The teaching unit can also provide explanations using a whiteboard or verbally. For example, the teaching unit explains while drawing mathematical formulas and diagrams using a digital whiteboard. The question receiving unit receives questions from the AI ​​during lessons conducted by the teaching unit. The question receiving unit receives questions from the AI ​​using, for example, a chat function. The question receiving unit can also receive questions from the AI ​​using voice input. For example, the question receiving unit allows the AI ​​to input questions by voice, converts them into text, and displays them to the teacher. As a result, the educational support system according to this embodiment will be helpful in educational settings by creating an ignorant AI, conducting online lessons, and accepting questions from the AI.

[0062] The creation unit creates ignorant AI. For example, it uses algorithms to generate AI that lacks basic knowledge. Specifically, it generates AI without trained weights or biases during the initialization of the neural network. This ignorant AI has no specific domain knowledge or general knowledge and starts completely from a blank slate. The creation unit can also include algorithms that pretend to know. For example, if the AI ​​is programmed to pretend to know under certain conditions, it will be designed to confidently return incorrect answers to questions. This gives educators an opportunity to point out the AI's errors and teach the correct knowledge. Furthermore, the creation unit can also have the ability to monitor the AI's learning process and record its progress. This allows educators to track the AI's growth and adjust the curriculum as needed. The creation unit comprehensively manages the entire process of building the foundation of the AI, including initial setup, algorithm selection, and preparation of training data. This allows the creation unit to efficiently and effectively create ignorant AI that forms the basis of educational support systems.

[0063] The teaching department conducts online lessons for an uninformed AI created by the development department. The teaching department uses video conferencing tools, for example.

The teaching department can also provide archived recorded lessons so the AI ​​can review the learned content on its own. This allows the teaching department to provide effective education to an uninformed AI and support its learning.

[0064] The question reception unit receives questions from the AI ​​during lessons conducted by the teaching unit. For example, the question reception unit can receive questions from the AI ​​using a chat function. Specifically, if the AI ​​has questions during a lesson, it inputs them through the chat window and sends them to the educator. The question reception unit can also receive questions from the AI ​​using voice input. For example, the AI ​​can input a question by voice, which is then converted into text and displayed to the teacher. This voice recognition technology enables the AI ​​to ask questions in natural language, providing a more interactive learning environment. Furthermore, the question reception unit can also record the AI's question history for later reference. This allows educators to understand the AI's comprehension and learning progress and provide appropriate feedback. The question reception unit also assists the AI ​​in providing more appropriate answers by considering the context and background information when the AI ​​asks a question. For example, it can accurately understand the intent of the question and derive an appropriate answer based on what the AI ​​has learned in the past and the current lesson content.

Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0150] 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 controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing.

The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0151] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a 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 specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0152] 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 performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0153] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the creation unit, the teaching unit, and the question receiving unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the creation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses an algorithm to generate an ignorant AI. The teaching unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and conducts online lessons using a video conferencing tool.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0154] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting 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 a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0155] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0156] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0157] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0158] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0159] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is 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 the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0160] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0161] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0162] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0163] 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.

[0164] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety 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 the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0165] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0166] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of 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). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0167] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0168] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0169] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

[0170] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
