[0028] (Example of form 1) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically optimizes the performance of an AI agent and enhances user support functions. To address the challenges of time-consuming manual adjustments and the difficulty in improving AI agent performance, this system includes the following components: First, it uses a code management system to manage the AI agent's code and data and track its history. This enables centralized management of code and data, allowing developers to work efficiently. Next, it uses an automation tool to execute an automated process, optimizing settings and updating the AI agent. This eliminates the need for manual fine-tuning, efficiently improving the AI agent's performance. Furthermore, it uses a generative AI interface to support and improve the AI agent's performance through interaction with the user. For example, it leverages generative AI to provide real-time interactive support, simplifying technical support. It also visualizes the AI agent's growth using graphs to provide visual feedback. This allows users to intuitively understand the AI agent's performance improvements. This system automatically optimizes the AI agent's performance and promotes AI utilization through intuitive operation. It also enhances user support functions and contributes to the improvement of the AI agent. This allows the system to automatically optimize the performance of AI agents and enhance user support capabilities.
[0029] The system according to the embodiment comprises a code management unit, an automation unit, an interaction unit, and a feedback unit. The code management unit manages code and data. The code management unit centrally manages code and data such as source code, binary data, and configuration files. The code management unit can track the history of code and data using a version control system. The code management unit records change history and can revert to previous versions. The automation unit executes automation processes using the data managed by the code management unit. The automation unit executes automation processes such as build processes, test processes, and deployment processes. The automation unit optimizes settings and updates AI agents. The automation unit performs performance tuning and resource allocation optimization, for example. The automation unit retrains AI agent models and adjusts parameters. The automation unit executes automation processes using automation tools such as Screwdriver. The interaction unit interacts with the user based on the processes executed by the automation unit. The interaction unit provides real-time interactive support using generative AI. The dialogue unit interacts with the user using means such as chatbots, voice assistants, and interactive UIs. The dialogue unit uses generative AI to provide appropriate answers to user questions. The dialogue unit uses generative AI to provide support for solving user problems. For example, the dialogue unit uses generative AI to generate answers to user questions in real time. The feedback unit provides visual feedback based on the information obtained by the dialogue unit. The feedback unit visualizes the growth of the AI agent using graphs. For example, the feedback unit displays metrics such as performance improvement and learning progress in graphs. The feedback unit visually displays the growth of the AI agent using a dashboard. The feedback unit provides visual feedback in a way that users can intuitively understand. This allows the system to efficiently manage code and data, execute automated processes, interact with users, and provide visual feedback.
[0030] The code management department manages code and data. For example, it centrally manages code and data such as source code, binary data, and configuration files. Specifically, source code is text files that describe the design and functionality of a program, while binary data includes compiled executable files and libraries. Configuration files are files that describe parameters and options for controlling the operation of a system or application. The code management department can use version control systems to track the history of code and data. Version control systems record the history of code changes and provide the ability to revert to previous versions. This allows developers to revert incorrect changes or add new features based on specific versions. Each developer can work in their local repository and share changes with other developers by pushing them to a remote repository. This allows the code management department to manage code and data efficiently and effectively, improving transparency and traceability of the development process. Furthermore, the code management department can ensure security by implementing access control and permission management. For example, it can set read-only or write permissions for specific users or groups. This allows the code management department to maintain security and compliance while promoting collaboration across the entire development team.
[0031] The Automation Department executes automation processes using data managed by the Code Management Department. The Automation Department executes automation processes such as build, test, and deployment processes. The build process compiles source code to generate an executable binary, the test process verifies that the generated binary works correctly, and the deployment process places the tested binary into the production environment. The Automation Department also optimizes settings and updates AI agents. Specifically, this includes performance tuning and resource allocation optimization. Performance tuning involves adjustments to improve system speed and efficiency, while resource allocation optimization involves adjustments to efficiently utilize system resources (CPU, memory, storage, etc.). The Automation Department also retrains AI agent models and adjusts parameters. An AI agent is a program that uses a machine learning model to perform specific tasks; retraining is the process of improving the model's accuracy using new data, and parameter adjustment involves changing settings to optimize the model's behavior. The Automation Department executes automation processes using automation tools such as Screwdriver. Screwdriver is an automation tool that supports continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI / CD), enabling the automation of build, test, and deployment processes. This allows the automation team to execute automated processes efficiently and effectively, improving the speed and quality of the development process. Furthermore, the automation team can assist in early problem detection and resolution through error handling and log management. For example, it can issue alerts when builds or tests fail and analyze logs to identify the cause. This allows the automation team to improve the reliability and stability of the development process.
[0032] The dialogue unit interacts with the user based on processes executed by the automation unit. The dialogue unit provides real-time interactive support using generative AI. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to understand user input and generate appropriate responses. The dialogue unit interacts with the user using means such as chatbots, voice assistants, and interactive UIs. A chatbot is a program that conducts text-based conversations and provides text answers to user questions. A voice assistant is a program that accepts voice input and provides voice responses, allowing users to ask questions by voice. An interactive UI is a program that allows users to interact through a graphical interface and operate using buttons and menus. The dialogue unit uses generative AI to provide appropriate answers to user questions. The generative AI has learned from a large amount of data and can generate the most appropriate answers to user questions. For example, if a user asks about a specific error message, the generative AI can explain the meaning of that error message and how to resolve it. The dialogue unit uses generative AI to provide support for solving user problems. The generative AI can understand the user's problem and suggest solutions. For example, if a user asks about how to use a specific function, the generative AI can explain how to use that function step by step. The dialogue unit, for instance, generates answers to the user's questions in real time. This allows the dialogue unit to provide users with quick and appropriate support, improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, the dialogue unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and quality of the generative AI's responses. For example, users can rate the provided answers, and the generative AI's training data can be updated based on that rating. This allows the dialogue unit to always provide high-quality support based on the latest information and technology.
[0033] The feedback unit provides visual feedback based on information obtained from the dialogue unit. The feedback unit visualizes the AI agent's growth using graphs. Specifically, it displays indicators such as performance improvements and learning progress of the AI agent in graph form. For example, it can display evaluation indicators such as the AI agent's accuracy, recall, and F1 score over time, visually showing the degree of improvement. The feedback unit visually displays the AI agent's growth using a dashboard. The dashboard is an interface that displays multiple graphs and charts on a single screen, allowing users to intuitively grasp the information. For example, the AI agent's learning progress, performance fluctuations, and resource usage can be checked at a glance. The feedback unit provides visual feedback in a way that users can intuitively understand. Specifically, it can highlight important information using color coding and icons. For example, improved performance can be displayed in green, and decreased performance in red, allowing users to grasp the situation at a glance. This enables the feedback unit to provide users with clear and effective information. Furthermore, the feedback unit can customize the dashboard layout and display content based on the user's operation history and feedback. For example, a layout can be provided that highlights a specific metric for users who are interested in that metric. This allows the feedback system to provide flexible information tailored to the user's needs, supporting their understanding and decision-making.
[0034] The code management unit can track the history of code and data. For example, the code management unit uses a version control system to track the history of code and data.

The dialogue unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The feedback unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. 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.
[0145] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0146] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0147] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0148] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0149] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0150] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0151] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0152] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0153] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0154] The processor 28 reads a 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 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0155] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the 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 the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0156] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0157] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also 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 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. 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.).
[0158] 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 microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for 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.
[0159] 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 data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the code management unit, automation unit, dialogue unit, and feedback unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the code management unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The automation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The dialogue unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The feedback unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.

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.
