  • Patent number: 11507755
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus has an inference unit with a first function of inputting first text data including a set of a first question text and a first answer text, and second text data including a set of a second question text and a second answer text; and a second function of, in a case in which a first synonym relationship in which a word a in the first text data is capable of being substituted with a word b is established and a second synonym relationship in which the word a in the second text data is capable of being substituted with a word c is established. A similarity between the word b and the word c is calculated from a first similarity between the first answer text and the second answer text and a second similarity between the first question text and the second question text.

  • Patent number: 11341327
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an input device, an output device, a processing device, a storage device, and a generating unit. The generating unit includes a first function of inputting text data; a second function of inputting a synonym dictionary including synonyms; a third function of extracting a first piece of text data from the multiple pieces of text data; a fourth function of extracting from the synonym dictionary synonyms in which a certain word in the first piece of text data is included; a fifth function of extracting from the text data second multiple pieces of text data including a synonym belonging to the extracted synonyms; and a sixth function of generating a score to evaluate a relationship between the first piece of text data and the extracted synonyms from a relationship between the first piece of text data and the second multiple pieces of text data.

  • Patent number: 11222180
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for easily using a dialogue service that reduces an effect of a change in a task of the dialogue service and provides a plurality of tasks. In the dialogue method, a computer including a processor and a memory executes a dialogue. The dialogue method includes: a text input step in which the computer receives text; a task execution step in which the computer causes the text to be separately executed by a plurality of types of tasks; an execution result obtaining step in which the computer separately obtains execution results from the plurality of types of tasks; a task selection step in which the computer selects one of the obtained execution results; and a response output step in which the computer outputs the selected execution result as an answer to the text.
