  • Publication number: 20180307669
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first extraction unit, a second extraction unit, and a notification unit. The first extraction unit extracts tags which co-occur in a document. The second extraction unit extracts a co-occurrence probability or an expected value of the number of co-occurrences of the co-occurring tags extracted by the first extraction unit from a co-occurrence probability or an expected value of the number of co-occurrences between the tags which is calculated with respect to a document which has already been tagged. The notification unit notifies that the co-occurring tags extracted by the first extraction unit are abnormal based on the co-occurrence probability or the expected value of the number of co-occurrences extracted by the second extraction unit.

  • Patent number: 9244910
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a determining unit, a first assigning unit, an extracting unit, a second assigning unit, a modeling unit, and an output unit. The receiving unit receives a target character string. The determining unit determines whether a sentiment character string is included in the received character string. A first assigning unit assigns a label corresponding to a sentiment character string to the character string when the sentiment character string is included, and assigns plural labels to the character string when no sentiment character string is included. The extracting unit extracts a word from the character string. The second assigning unit assigns to the extracted word a label which has been assigned to the character string that includes the word. The modeling unit performs supervised topic modeling for the character string. The output unit outputs a result of a process by the modeling unit.
