  • Patent number: 10496745
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a dictionary updating apparatus includes a candidate extraction unit, a selection control unit, and a word registration unit. The candidate extraction unit extracts, based on a recognition result text obtained by a voice recognition engine performing a voice recognition processing using a word dictionary and a correction result text obtained by correcting at least a part of the recognition result text, candidates of words to be additionally registered in the word dictionary. The selection control unit generates a selection screen on which the extracted candidates are displayed selectably and, at the same time, information indicating the influence on the voice recognition processing at least when the candidates are additionally registered in the word dictionary is displayed, and accepts an operation of selecting the candidates displayed on the selection screen. The word registration unit registers additionally the candidates selected on the selection screen in the word dictionary.

  • Patent number: 10394961
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an input unit accepts input of an input sentence that is a second sentence of the native language corresponding to a first sentence. A language analysis execution unit executes language analysis for the input sentence. A grammatical feature extraction unit extracts a grammatical feature of the input sentence based on a result of the executed language analysis. A search query generation unit generates a search query based on the extracted grammatical feature.

  • Publication number: 20170277679
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an extracting unit, a first calculating unit, and a second calculating unit. From a sentence included in a set of sentences, the extracting unit extracts compound words, each made of a plurality of words, and first words other than the words constituting the compound words. The first calculating unit calculates, based on the occurrence frequencies of the first words and based on the occurrence frequencies of the compound words, first degrees of importance indicating the degrees of importance of the first words and the degrees of importance of the compound words. With respect to first sentences included in the set of sentences, the second calculating unit calculates second degrees of importance, which indicate the degrees of importance of the first sentences, based on the first degrees of importance of the words and the first degrees of importance of the compound words.
