Abstract: An information processing system includes an identification information receiving unit for receiving user identification information presented by a user, a determining unit for determining whether the user identification information that has been received is first user identification information for performing first processing relating to the user, or second user identification information for performing second processing that is executed following the first processing, and an user identifying unit for, in a case of determining that the user identification information that has been received is the second user identification information, identifying a user that is an object of third processing relating to the user, with the third processing being executed following the second processing, on the basis of the second user identification information.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a compound having a STING agonistic activity, which may be expected to be useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of STING-related diseases. The present disclosure relates to a compound represented by the formula (I): wherein each symbol is as defined in the description, or a salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and equipment of pattern recognition capable of efficiently pruning partial hypotheses without lowering recognition accuracy, its pattern recognition program, and its recording medium. In a second search unit, a likelihood calculation unit calculates an acoustic likelihood by matching time series data of acoustic feature parameters against a lexical tree stored in a second database and an acoustic model stored in a third database to determine an accumulated likelihood by accumulating the acoustic likelihood in a time direction. A self-transition unit causes each partial hypothesis to make a self-transition in a search process. An LR transition unit causes each partial hypothesis to make an RL transition. A reward attachment unit adds a reward R(x) in accordance with the number of reachable words to each partial hypothesis to raise the accumulated likelihood. A pruning unit excludes partial hypotheses with less likelihood from search targets.
