Abstract: A regression model having a correspondence relationship with variation of an explanatory variable and variation of a target variable is constructed. A regression analysis device includes a data acquisition unit that reads out, from a storage device storing training data used as a target variable and an explanatory variable of a regression model and a constraint condition defining in advance whether the explanatory variable should be varied positively or negatively to vary the target variable in a positive direction or a negative direction, the training data and the constraint condition, and a coefficient update unit that repeatedly updates, using the training data, coefficients of the explanatory variable in the regression model to minimize a cost function including a regularization term that increases a cost in a case where the constraint condition is contravened.

Abstract: A regression model reflecting causality between variation of an explanatory variable and variation of a response variable is constructed. A prediction apparatus predicts characteristic values of a product by using process data obtained from a production facility. The prediction apparatus includes a process data acquisition unit that reads the process data from a storage device that stores the process data obtained from the production facility, and a prediction model generation unit that generates a prediction model on the basis of causality information that defines a combination of first process data and second process data or a value corresponding to the second process data. The first process data and the second process data or the value corresponding to the second process data are included in the read process data. The first process data is used as a predetermined explanatory variable. The second process data or the value corresponding to the second process data is used as response variable.

Abstract: A speech analyzer includes a speech acquiring section, a frequency converting section, an autocorrelation section, and a pitch detection section. The frequency converting section converts the speech signal acquired by the speech acquiring section into a frequency spectrum. The autocorrelation section determines an autocorrelation waveform by shifting the frequency spectrum along the frequency axis. The pitch detection section determines the pitch frequency from the distance between two local crests or troughs of the autocorrelation waveform.

Abstract: The present invention provides a will-expression modeling device simulating human will-expression responding to an direction input given from the outside, which includes an interest interpretation section, an emotion creating section and a will-expression section. The interest interpretation section collates the direction input with a predetermined hedonic interest relationship table and outputs a mood factor representing pleasure, displeasure or the like. The emotion creating section prepares a plurality of emotional states obtained by modeling human emotions as data and causes state transitions to occur in the emotional states according to the mood factor to simulate a change in human emotion responding to the direction input. The will-expression section prepares in advance a plurality of mental-will states obtained by modeling human will as data and selects a new mental-will state from the emotional states or a “combination of a mental-will state and an emotional state”.

Abstract: An inspiration model device according to the invention is provided with a spontaneous emotion unit, a knowledge database, and a conception unit. The spontaneous emotion unit prepares, as data, plural emotion states in advance, which are obtained by modeling human emotions, and causes state transitions to occur repeatedly between the emotion states according a stochastic model of the Schrödinger equation. The knowledge database simulates a human inspiration source that is influenced by sensibility by classifying externally collected knowledge data depending on the degrees of correlation with the emotion states, and accumulates the knowledge data. When receiving an external input, the conception unit simulates human conception by combining the external input with an emotion state of the spontaneous emotion unit and searching the knowledge database for related knowledge data using, as a search key, the combination or the like.

An intensity, a tempo, and intonation in each word of a voice are detected based on an inputted voice signal, amounts of change are obtained for the detected contents, respectively, and signals expressing each states of emotion of anger, sadness, and pleasure are generated based on the amounts of change. A partner's emotion or situation information is inputted, and thus instinctive motivation information is generated. Moreover, emotion information including basic emotion parameters of pleasure, anger, and sadness is generated, which is controlled based on the individuality information.
