Abstract: The present disclosure provides method and apparatus for generating a response in a human-machine conversation. A first sound input may be received in the conversation. A first audio attribute may be extracted from the first sound input, wherein the first audio attribute indicates a first condition of a user. A second sound input may be received in the conversation. A second audio attribute may be extracted from the second sound input, wherein the second audio attribute indicates a second condition of a user. A difference between the second audio attribute and the first audio attribute is determined, wherein the difference indicates a condition change of the user from the first condition to the second condition. A response to the second sound input is generated based at least on the condition change.

Abstract: A method for providing emotion management assistance is provided. Sound streams may be received. A speech conversation between a user and at least one conversation object may be detected from the sound streams. Identity of the conversation object may be identified at least according to speech of the conversation object in the speech conversation. Emotion state of at least one speech segment of the user in the speech conversation may be determined. An emotion record corresponding to the speech conversation may be generated, wherein the emotion record at least including the identity of the conversation object, at least a portion of content of the speech conversation, and the emotion state of the at least one speech segment of the user.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for using red rice fermentation products for the treatment or prevention of osteoporosis and abnormal bone mass conditions. Particular Monascus strains yield fermentation products with the desired biological activities.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed which comprise red rice fermentation products, that can be used as natural dietary supplements and/or medicaments for the treatment or prevention of hyperlipidemia and associated disorders and symptoms, such as cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, asthenic breathing, chronic headache, chest pain and tightness, limb swelling and distention, loss of appetite and excess expectoration. The methods and compositions are effective in lowering both the serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels in humans, and can be used for maintaining cardiovascular health. The invention also encompasses particular Monascus strains that yield fermentation products with the desired biological activities.
