Abstract: An information processing apparatus performing processing for protecting privacy and security on an image uploaded to an SNS site is provided. The information processing apparatus includes: a region estimating unit configured to estimate candidate regions of object detection from an image; a topic estimating unit configured to estimate a topic of the image on the basis of text information accompanying the image; a region evaluating unit configured to evaluate the candidate regions estimated by the region estimating unit on the basis of relationships with the topic estimated by the topic estimating unit; and an image generating unit configured to generate an image on the basis of evaluation results acquired by the region evaluating unit. The topic estimating unit described above estimates the topic on the basis of words to which tags are added.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that performs processing of presenting an explanation for a reason why a control-target apparatus has performed an automatic operation. The information processing apparatus includes a determination unit that determines processing in a control-target apparatus corresponding to sensor information, a generation unit that generates an explanation for a reason for the processing, and an estimation unit that performs an estimation with respect to a reaction from a user. The generation unit controls presentation of the explanation on the basis of a result of the estimation with respect to the reaction from the user. The generation unit controls, on the basis of the result of the estimation, contents of the explanation or a method of presenting the explanation.
