  • Publication number: 20210294827
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing apparatus that transforms a text into data indicating entities and association among entities, compares the transformed data, and thereby enables texts having a relationship to be detected. An information processing apparatus as one embodiment of the present invention includes: a transformer; and a detector. The transformer is configured to transform a text into entity data indicating entities and association among entities. The detector is configured to detect a second text having a relationship with a first text by comparing first entity data transformed from the first text with one or more second entity data transformed from one or more second texts.

  • Publication number: 20160078476
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a data collector which collects a plurality of pieces of data. The information processing apparatus includes a discontinuation determiner which compares, for each data or the whole processing of collecting the plurality of pieces of data, an invested cost that is already invested for data collection and an allowable investment cost that is an upper limit of a cost allowed to be invested for the data collection and, according to a comparison result, determines to discontinue the data collection. The information processing apparatus also includes a content determiner which, when the discontinuation determiner determines to discontinue the data collection, uses the data collected by the data collector up to a point when the discontinuation is determined and determines information relevant to a content to be distributed.
