Abstract: According to an embodiment, a conference information accumulating apparatus is for accumulating conference information. The apparatus includes a generator and a calculator. The generator is configured to generate a user interface screen either for creating minutes of a conference based on the conference information or for viewing the created minutes. The calculator is configured to calculate a correlation between a written text that is a unit in which the minutes are written and the conference information, based on a predetermined operation performed using the user interface screen by a minutes creator. The generator generates, upon detection of the conference information that is correlated with the written text, the user interface screen enabling a reference to the conference information.

Abstract: Provided is an orthographical variant detection apparatus which detects orthographical variant candidates with a high precision. The orthographical variant detection apparatus includes a term extraction unit that extracts terms from document data, a similarity computation unit that computes similarity of an arbitrary pair of the extracted terms, an orthographical variant candidate determination unit that determines, based on the similarity, whether or not the terms in the pair of terms are orthographical variant candidates, and a group classification unit that groups the orthographical variant candidates based on a character string commonly included in pair of terms as the orthographical variant candidates.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a communication support apparatus converts conversation between users into text data by using a dictionary and causes a terminal device to display the text data. The apparatus includes an event detection unit, a word extraction unit, and a word selection unit. The event detection unit analyzes a sentence obtained by converting a voice of an utterance of a conference participant into text data to detect an event indicating a failure of communication through conversation. The word extraction unit extracts words from the sentence in which the event is detected by the event detection unit. The word selection unit selects, from among the words extracted by the word extraction unit, a word causing a failure of the communication based on a value of a communication failure index calculated from the event detected in the sentence including the words extracted therefrom.
