  • Publication number: 20240004936
    Abstract: A search using a plurality of search queries and a check of a result of the search are performed efficiently. A plurality of search queries are received. A plurality of documents are searched on the basis of each of the plurality of search queries. A plurality of search results are obtained for each of the plurality of documents. The document search results are output by outputting the plurality of search results for each of the plurality of documents as a first table. One of a group of items on the vertical axis and a group of items on the horizontal axis in the first table represents the documents, and the other represents the search queries. The search result can be shown with two values indicating whether or not a document satisfies a search query, with the number of blocks satisfying a search query in a document, or the like.

    Abstract: A search system capable of searching for an image with a similar represented concept is provided. The search system includes an input unit, a text extraction unit, a tag obtaining unit, and a tag similarity calculation unit. When image data to which an image label is assigned and document data including the image label are supplied to the input unit, the text extraction unit is configured to extract tag-obtaining-purpose text data from the document data on the basis of the image label. The tag obtaining unit is configured to obtain a tag including at least a part of words included in the tag-obtaining-purpose text data. The tag similarity calculation unit is configured to calculate similarity between tags. It is possible to search for an image having a greatly different feature value of the image itself but having a similar represented concept.

  • Publication number: 20220197935
    Abstract: A document search system that enables efficient document search regardless of the ability of a user is achieved. Document search is performed using a document search system in which database document data is stored. After first document data and second document data are input to the document search system, the document search system extracts a plurality of terms from the first document data. The extraction of the terms is performed using morphological analysis, for example. Next, the extracted terms are weighted on the basis of the second document data. For example, texts included in a document represented by the second document data are classified into first and second texts. Among the terms extracted from the first document data, the weight of the term included in the first text is set larger than the weights of the other terms. The classification of the texts can be performed in accordance with a rule basis or using machine learning.

  • Patent number: 9368680
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an EL display device having a high operation performance and reliability. The switching TFT 201 formed within a pixel has a multi-gate structure, which is a structure which imposes an importance on reduction of OFF current value. Further, the current control TFT 202 has a channel width wider than that of the switching TFT to make a structure appropriate for flowing electric current. Moreover, the LDD region 33 of the current control TFT 202 is formed so as to overlap a portion of the gate electrode 35 to make a structure which imposes importance on prevention of hot carrier injection and reduction of OFF current value.
