Abstract: An array generating unit (15b) divides a sequence of acoustic features for each frame of an acoustic signal into segments of a predetermined length and generates an array in which a plurality of divided segments in a row direction are arranged in a column direction. A learning unit (15d) generates by learning, using the array, a speaker diarization model (14a) for estimating a speaker label of a speaker vector of each frame.

Abstract: A speaker vector extraction unit (15b) extracts a speaker vector representing a speaker feature of each frame using a sequence of acoustic features for each frame of a latest acoustic signal. A learning unit (15d) generates an online EEND model (14a) for estimating a speaker label of the speaker vector of each frame through learning using the speaker vector and a speaker label representing a speaker of the estimated speaker vector.

Abstract: A speaker vector extraction. unit (15b) extracts a speaker vector representing a feature of a voice of a speaker for each partial section having a predetermined length of a voice signal of an utterance. A learning unit (15c) generates, through learning, a speaker similarity calculation sub-model (14c) for calculating a similarity between a voice signal of an utterance of a speaker registered in advance and a voice signal of an utterance of a verification target speaker by using the speaker vector for each partial section extracted from the voice signal of the utterance of the registered speaker and the speaker vector for each partial section extracted from the voice signal of the utterance of the verification target speaker.

Abstract: An electronic advertising system includes: a registration unit configured to register, in association with indexes by which objects advertised by a first advertiser included in images are retrieved, advertising information advertised by a second advertiser; a reception unit configured to receive a captured image; an object search unit configured to obtain degree of similarity between an object extracted from the captured image and the objects retrieved by the indexes, and to search a storage unit for one or more objects based on the degree of similarity; and a present unit configured to present, to a transmission source of the captured image, the advertising information associated with an index corresponding to an object retrieved by the object search unit.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a motion determining unit and a data processing unit. The motion determining unit detects a predetermined motion of a mobile terminal. The data processing unit selects a device to perform a device cooperation process with and to communicate with the mobile terminal based on a predetermined sound output by one or more devices, which are positioned nearby the mobile terminal, when the motion determining unit detects the predetermined motion of the mobile terminal. The predetermined sound are different for each of the devices.

Abstract: A disclosed information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire first processing condition information stored in a server via a network, a processing condition storage unit configured to store the first processing condition information acquired from the server via the network, a display unit configured to display the first processing condition information stored in the processing condition storage unit, an edition receiving unit configured to receive an edition of the first processing condition information displayed on the display unit, an execution unit configured to set the first processing condition information edited by the edition receiving unit to execute information processing based on the set first processing condition information, and a processing condition registration unit configured to register the first processing condition information set by the execution unit in the processing condition storage unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus stores an input image and an image ID for identifying the image in association with each other, stores a medium ID for identifying a recording medium on which the image is printed n, a unit ID for identifying a print unit having a plurality of recording media, and an image ID of an image included in the print unit in association with each another, detects a plurality of medium IDs from at lease one recording medium, obtains image IDs of all images included in the print unit identified by the unit ID associated with the medium ID, obtains images associated with obtained image IDs, and outputs obtained images.

Abstract: A scanner unit reads a code image from a recording medium. A detecting unit detects a medium identification from the code image. An identification obtaining unit obtains image identifications of all images included in a print unit that is identified by a unit identification and a print condition corresponding to the medium identification, from an identification storing unit. An image obtaining unit obtains all images corresponding to the image identification from an image storing unit. A printing unit prints the image obtained by the image obtaining unit under the print condition obtained by the identification obtaining unit.

Abstract: A biotechnological process for the production of betacyanin pigments is disclosed which comprises cultivating calli, induced from a plant which belongs to Beta vulgaris L. and which is capable of producing betacyanin pigments, in a liquid culture medium containing a reducing agent such as glutathione.

Abstract: A method for producing a stigma-like tissue of a saffron flower comprising (1) culturing a corolla tube of a saffron in the presence of a plant hormone or (2) culturing a female organ and/or a corolla tube of a saffron flower in the presence of a plant hormone and alanine, and a method for producing useful components of a saffron flower, e.g., saffron pigment, from the thus produced stigma-like tissue. The tissue cultures produce larger quantitites of the stigma-like tissue and useful components, compared to that obtained by conventional tissue cultures.
