Description

  The present invention relates to a standard item name setting device, a standard item name setting method, and a standard item name setting program.

  Many forms are used in local governments and companies. Although a form is generally a paper medium, it is desired to reduce the management cost of the form by using an input form in which the form of the paper medium is digitized.

  For example, Patent Literature 1 below discloses a system that determines a type of a form and performs a form receiving process using an input form corresponding to the type of the form.

JP 2004-126910 A

  However, even for the same type of form, the name of the corresponding item (item name) may be different depending on the local government, company, or the like. Therefore, when standardizing the item names for many types of forms, the list of the item names becomes enormous, and there is a problem that the labor is extremely large if the items are arranged manually.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a standard item name setting device that can set a standard item name for an item name used as the same meaning in a plurality of forms. The present invention provides a name setting method and a standard item name setting program.

According to the standard item name setting device according to the present invention, there is provided a standard item name setting device for setting a standard item name which is a standard item name in a form, wherein the standard item name setting device stores standard item name information. An item name storage unit, an item name acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of item names described in a plurality of forms, and a plurality of item names acquired by the item name acquisition unit classified into one or more types based on a predetermined condition. A first classifying unit that classifies the items into categories, a second classifying unit that classifies the item names classified into the type-based classification into one or a plurality of synonymous item groups based on the degree of synonymity, and An evaluation unit that evaluates the standardity of the item name based on the degree of coincidence with the standard item name stored in the standard item name storage unit; and an evaluation unit based on the standardity among the item names classified into the synonymous item group. To select the standard item name And item name selector, on the basis of the standard item names selected by the standard item name selector, an updating unit that updates the information of the standard field name storage unit, is solved by providing a.
This makes it possible to set a standard item name for an item name used as the same meaning in a plurality of forms.

In the above-mentioned standard item name setting device, the item name acquired by the item name acquisition unit is a condition that is not classified into any of the plurality of classifications by type, including an allocation impossible condition setting unit that sets an allocation impossible condition, It is preferable that the first classifying unit does not classify the item names satisfying the allocation prohibition condition among the plurality of item names acquired by the item name acquiring unit into the classification by type.
By doing so, item names that are not desired to be included in the process of setting standard item names can be excluded from the processing target by setting them in advance as the allocation prohibition conditions. In addition, if the allocation-impossible condition is set to be updatable, by updating the condition, it is possible to prevent an inappropriate item name from being mixed in an item name serving as a basis for selecting a standard item name. Thereby, a more appropriate item name can be set as the standard item name.

In the above-described standard item name setting device, the second classifying unit may exclude, from the processing targets, item names that include words having mutually different relations among the item names classified into the type-based classification.
Since the item name including a synonym may be erroneously classified, according to the above configuration, the item name including the synonym can be excluded from the item name on which the standard item name is selected. Thereby, a more appropriate item name can be set as the standard item name.

In the above-mentioned standard item name setting device, the standard item name selecting unit, when there is an item name whose standardity is equal to or more than a threshold value among the item names classified into the synonymous item group, the standardity is the largest. The item name may be selected as the standard item name.
By doing so, the most appropriate item as the standard item can be selected from the item names having the same relation.

In the above standard item name setting device, when there is no item name whose standardity is equal to or more than a threshold value among the item names classified into the synonymous item group, the item name is classified from the item names classified into the synonymous item group. An item name selected based on a predetermined condition is provided as a candidate for the standard item name, and the standard item name selecting unit is configured to input the standard item name candidate presented by the presenting unit based on an input. It is good to select as the standard item name.
In this way, even if there is no synonymous item name suitable for the standard item, a standard item name candidate can be generated and the standard item name can be set based on the standard item name candidate. .

In the above-described standard item name setting device, it is preferable that the standard item name setting device further includes a third classification unit that re-classifies the synonymous item groups based on the synonymity of the standard item names in each of the plurality of synonymous item groups.
In this way, item names having a synonymous relationship that are not classified as synonymous item names in the second classification unit are determined to be synonymous in the third classification unit, and the synonymous item group gradually becomes an appropriate synonymous item name. As a result, appropriate standard item names can be set.

According to a standard item name setting method according to the present invention, a standard item name is provided by a standard item name setting device including a standard item name storage unit that stores information on a standard item name that is a standard item name in a form. In a setting method, an item name acquiring step of acquiring a plurality of item names described in a plurality of forms, and a plurality of item names acquired in the item name acquiring step are classified into one or more types based on predetermined conditions. A first classification step of classifying the items into categories, a second classification step of classifying the item names classified by the type-based classification into one or a plurality of synonymous item groups based on the degree of synonymity, An evaluation step of evaluating the standardity of the item name based on the degree of coincidence with the standard item name stored in the standard item name storage unit, and based on the standardity among the item names classified into the synonymous item group Standard item And the standard item name selection step of selecting, on the basis of the standard field name standard field name selected in the selection step, the updating step of updating the information of the standard field name storage unit, is solved by providing a.
This makes it possible to set a standard item name for an item name used as the same meaning in a plurality of forms.

According to a standard item name setting program according to the present invention, a computer as a standard item name setting device including a standard item name storage unit that stores information on standard item names that are standard item names in a form is provided. An item name acquiring unit that acquires a plurality of item names described in a plurality of forms, and a plurality of item names acquired by the item name acquiring unit that are classified into one or a plurality of types according to predetermined conditions. One classification unit, a second classification unit that classifies the item names classified in the type-based classification into one or a plurality of synonymous item groups based on synonymity, and a standardity of the item names classified into the synonymous item group An evaluation unit that evaluates the standard item name based on the degree of coincidence with the standard item name stored in the standard item name storage unit, and a standard item name based on the standardity from among the item names classified into the synonymous item groups. Select And the standard item name selector, on the basis of the standard item names selected by the standard item name selector is solved by function as an update unit that updates the information of the standard field name storage unit.

That is, the configuration, data, processing, and the like of the system described below can be changed and improved without departing from the gist of the present invention, and the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

[Configuration of Information Processing System 1]
As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a standard item name setting device 10 and a form processing device 30. The standard item name setting device 10 and the form processing device 30 are communicably connected via a network such as the Internet or an intranet (not shown).

The form processing device 30 is connected to the scanner 40.
The scanner 40 is a device that captures image information by optically scanning a paper medium. In the present embodiment, the scanner 40 outputs a scanned image (image information) obtained by scanning the form P to the form processing device 30.
The form P is a standard document such as a book, a slip, an application form, and the like. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that various types of forms P are captured by the scanner 40 and output to the form processing device 30. A plurality of forms P to be processed when setting standard item names are forms P of the same procedure. Specifically, for example, each form P used in various local governments for the procedure of birth notification is processed.

The form processing device 30 is a computer that processes the form P captured by the scanner 40. Specifically, the form processing device 30 performs OCR (optical character recognition) on the form P to obtain a character string described in the form P. The form processing device 30 analyzes the table structure of the form P based on the arrangement of the ruled lines and character strings. More specifically, the form processing device 30 divides the form P into an item field, an input field, and a fill-in input field, and analyzes information of an item name described in the item field (and further, a fill-in input field). .
Note that the item column is an area where a character string as an item name is described, and the input column is an area where a character string is not described and information corresponding to the item column is input. The fill-in-fill entry field is an area where a character string is described and information is input between the character strings.

  An input device 31 is connected to the form processing device 30, and information can be input through the input device 31. A display device 32 is connected to the form processing device 30, and a UI screen or the like can be displayed on the display device 32.

  In the present embodiment, information on a plurality of types of forms P analyzed by the form processing device 30 is output to the standard item name setting device 10. Then, the standard item name setting device 10 specifies corresponding item names in the plurality of types of forms P, and sets standard item names obtained by standardizing the corresponding item names.

Next, the configuration of the standard item name setting device 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the standard item name setting device 10 is a computer including a processor 11, a storage device 12, and a communication interface 13 as hardware.

  The processor 11 includes, for example, a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit), executes various arithmetic processes based on programs and data stored in the storage device 12, and controls each unit of the standard item name setting device 10. I do.

  The storage device 12 includes, for example, a memory and a magnetic disk device, and stores various programs and data, and also functions as a work memory of the processor 11.

  The communication interface has a communication interface such as a network interface card (NIC) and connects to a network via the communication interface. The communication interface communicates with devices such as the form processing device 30 via the network.

[Overview of Process Executed by Standard Item Name Setting Apparatus 10]
Here, the outline of the processing executed by the standard item name setting device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 2, the standard item name setting device 10 acquires a form group PG including a plurality of forms P relating to the same procedure. Here, each form P includes one or more item names I such as “A”, “B”, and “C”. The item name I is a phrase including one or more words.
Then, the standard item name setting device 10 extracts the item name I from each form P. Here, the entire item name I extracted from the form P included in the form group PG is defined as an item name group IG.

Next, the standard item name setting device 10 classifies the item names I included in the item name group IG according to the type of the item name (first classification process).
First, the standard item name setting device 10 determines whether or not the item name I included in the item name group IG satisfies the non-allocatable condition. Is determined, and the item name is excluded from the processing target of the classification by type. The allocation-impossible condition is, for example, a condition that matches an item name included in information such as an allocation-impossible dictionary having a preset allocation-impossible item as an element.
If the item name I is not an unallocatable item, the item name I is classified by type.

  Specifically, “name (name)”, “address (address)” and the like are predetermined in the item name type, and classifications (classification C1, classification C2, etc.) are set for each type. I have. In order to classify an item name that does not correspond to any of the preset types, a classification (class CN) of an “other (etc)” type is set. Then, each item name I is classified by type based on which of the types of the item name the word (noun) included in the item name I corresponds to. At this time, if the item name I does not correspond to any type, it is classified into the other type classification CN.

More specifically, the standard item name setting device 10 extracts a noun from words (morphemes) obtained by decomposing the item name I by morphological analysis, and, based on a predetermined condition, extracts the noun according to the type of the item name. It is determined which of the above is applicable. For example, type definition information in which the correspondence between a type name and a corresponding noun (word) or a partial character string in the noun is set in advance, and the noun extracted based on this type definition information is set. Can be determined as to which type is applicable. Then, when the extracted noun does not correspond to any type, the item name I is classified into other types.
When there are a plurality of nouns extracted from the item name I and the types of the respective nouns are different, that is, when the item name I includes a plurality of types, the standard item name setting device 10 sets the item name I Is determined to be a non-allocatable item, and the process of classification by type is not performed. At this time, the item name I determined as an unassignable item may be added to the unassignable dictionary to update the unassignable dictionary.

  Through the above processing, the standard item name setting device 10 classifies all the item names I except for the unallocatable items included in the item name group IG into the classification by type. It should be noted that a classification may be provided to group unallocated items, and the non-allocatable items may be classified into that classification.

Next, the standard item name setting device 10 classifies the item names I classified into the classification by type into one or more groups having a synonymous relationship (second classification process). Note that the standard item name setting device 10 performs a second classification process for each type of classification.
Specifically, the standard item name setting device 10 excludes the item name I from being processed when one of the item names I belonging to the classification by type includes a word having an ill relation. If the item name I does not include a word having a synonymous relationship, the standard item name setting device 10 calculates the degree of synonym between the item name I and the item name I in the synonymous item group, and determines the most synonymous. It is classified into the same synonymous item group as the item name I having a high degree. The synonymity is an evaluation value calculated so that the value increases when the synonym is set as a synonym in the synonym dictionary.

Further, FIG. 2 shows an example of the synonymous item group G11 and the synonymous item group G12 for the classification C1, but the number of synonymous item groups is not limited to two.
Then, the standard item name setting device 10 classifies the item name I into a synonymous item group for each classification by type.

Next, the standard item name setting device 10 sets a standard item name of each synonymous item group based on the item name I classified into each synonymous item group by the second classification process (first setting process).
Specifically, the standard item name setting device 10 calculates the standardity of each item name I classified into the synonymous item group. The standard degree is an evaluation value calculated so as to increase as the degree of coincidence with the already set standard item name increases.
Then, the standard item name setting device 10 selects the item name I whose standardity is equal to or more than the threshold value and has the largest value among the item names I classified into the synonymous item group, and sets it as the standard item name. I do.

In addition, when there is no item name I classified into the synonymous item group whose standardity is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the standard item name setting device 10 sets an item name as a candidate for a standard item name based on a predetermined condition. Select I. The predetermined condition is such that, for example, the item name I is selected according to the priority order of the item name having the highest appearance frequency, the item name having the smallest number of nouns, and the item name having the smallest number of characters in the synonymous item group. Then, the standard item name setting device 10 uses the selected item name I or the item name obtained by converting the selected item name based on the dictionary information of the standard item name as a standard item name candidate (standard item name candidate). obtain.
The standard item name setting device 10 presents the standard item name candidates to the user, sets the item names based on the standard item name candidates as standard item names after confirmation or correction of the user.

Note that the priority order for selecting a candidate for a standard item name when there is no item name I whose standardity is equal to or greater than the threshold value is merely an example, and can be set as appropriate.
Further, in the present embodiment, the item name I selected as a candidate for the standard item name is presented to the user for confirmation by the user. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and does not require presentation / confirmation to the user. Alternatively, the item name I selected as a standard item name candidate may be automatically set as a standard item name.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the standard item name setting device 10 performs a multiplication process between two or more synonymous item groups classified in the second classification process between the synonymous item groups, and Reclassification is performed (third classification process). Note that the standard item name setting device 10 executes a third classification process on all synonymous item groups across the type-specific classifications for the synonymous item groups classified by the type-specific classification.
By this process, even if the synonym item groups are classified from different types, the synonym item groups determined to have a high degree of synonym are classified into the same synonym item group. In addition, since it does not correspond to any of the types, the item names classified into the “other” type in the first classification process are integrated with the synonymous item groups having a high degree of synonymity in the third classification process, so that It is classified into the same synonymous item group as the classified, that is, the type-named item name. As described above, the synonymous relationship can be determined for more item names by the multiplication process, and a highly accurate synonymous item group is created.

  Specifically, the synonymity between the standard item names is calculated between the synonymous item groups classified in the second classification process, and when the synonymity is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold, those synonymous item groups are integrated. . Note that a standard item name is set in each synonymous item group by the first setting process. The calculation of the degree of synonym between the standard item names is calculated based on the synonym dictionary as in the second classification process. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, the standard item name setting device 10 multiplies the synonymous item group A (group G11) by the synonymous item group X (group GN1), and as a result, If it is determined that the value is equal to or larger than the threshold value, it is determined that these two synonymous item groups have high synonymity. Then, the standard item name setting device 10 integrates the synonymous item group A and the synonymous item group X, and creates a new synonymous item group A '(group G11') in which these are grouped.

Next, the standard item name setting device 10 resets the standard item name of each synonymous item group based on the item name I of each synonymous item group reclassified by the third classification process (second setting process). ). The setting process of the standard item name in the second setting process is the same as the above-described first setting process, and thus the description is omitted. By the second setting process, a standard item name is set based on each synonymous item group with higher accuracy classified in the third classification process.
In the present embodiment, the re-classification is performed by the third classification process as described above. However, the third classification process and the second setting process may not be performed. In that case, the standard item name set by the first setting process is set as the final standard item name.

Further, the standard item name setting device 10 registers words (nouns) not registered in the synonym dictionary in the synonym dictionary (synonym dictionary creation processing).
The standard item name setting device 10 performs a morphological analysis on the item name I extracted from each form P, and extracts a word (noun) W from the item name I. In the process of extracting the word W, a morphological analysis is performed on each item included in the item name group IG generated before the first classification process described above, or the first classification process is performed. The morphological analysis is performed on each item included in all the classifications such as the classification C1 and the classification C2, which are sets of item names classified by type.
Then, with respect to each extracted word W, it is determined whether or not the word W is included in the synonym dictionary by referring to the synonym dictionary. When the word W is not included in the synonym dictionary, the standard item name setting device 10 presents (recommends) the word W to the user as a dictionary unregistered word (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “unregistered word”). Then, the input of the synonym for the dictionary unregistered word from the user is received, and the information of the word W and the synonym is registered (additionally updated) in the synonym dictionary.

  As described above, the standard item name setting device 10 registers the dictionary unregistered words extracted in the standard item name setting process in the synonym dictionary, or supports the registration in the synonym dictionary. Thus, by accumulating the information included in the synonym dictionary, the synonym dictionary can be created and updated, and the accuracy of the synonym dictionary can be improved.

Further, the standard item name setting method according to the present invention is realized by operating the processor 11 according to the above-described standard item name setting program.
Hereinafter, the functions of the above-described units will be described in detail.

[Standard item name storage unit 20A]
The standard item name storage unit 20A stores information on standard item names, which are standard item names in a form. The standard item name storage unit 20A is realized mainly by the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.

The “form” refers to a paper medium or an electronic medium to which information can be input and which is provided for a predetermined process. For example, a form used for applying to a local government such as a municipal government, a country, a private company, or the like as a destination corresponds to a “form”. Specifically, a birth report, a pregnancy report, and the like correspond to an example of a “form”.
The "item name" is a component of a form, and is information for defining the content and format of input information to the form. For example, “name”, “birth date” and the like correspond to an example of the above “item name”.
The “standard item name” is the most commonly used item name among the item names corresponding to different forms. Specifically, the “standard item name” refers to an item name having a synonymous relationship (synonymous item) that has been recognized as a standard item name.

Specifically, the standard item name storage unit 20A is realized by the standard item information table T1 stored in the storage device 12.
FIG. 5 shows an example of the standard item information table T1. As shown in FIG. 5, the standard item information table T1 stores standard item ID, standard item name, form type, item type, and synonymous item group ID information in association with each other.
The standard item ID is an identifier for uniquely identifying an item name.
The standard item name is an item name identified by the standard item ID.
The form type is information indicating a form (procedure) for which the item name identified by the standard item ID is used as a standard.
The item type is information indicating the item type corresponding to the item name identified by the standard item ID.
The synonymous item group ID is an identifier for uniquely identifying a group including an item name identified by the standard item ID and an item name having a synonymous relationship.

[Type definition information storage unit 20B]
The type definition information storage unit 20B stores a type for classifying the item names acquired by the standard item name setting device 10 by type, and a condition corresponding to the type, for example, a list of nouns (words). The type definition information storage unit 20B is mainly realized by the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.

  Specifically, the type definition information storage unit 20B is realized by a type definition information table (not shown) stored in the storage device 12. The type definition information table includes, for example, types such as “name” and “address”, and a noun corresponding to the type or a part of a character string in the noun, for example, “name” for each type. , “Address” and the like are stored in association with each other, and are defined and registered in advance. The format of the mounting data of the type definition information storage unit 20B is not limited to a table, and may be data in a format in which structured data is represented by text (character string).

[Synonym dictionary storage unit 20C]
The synonym dictionary storage unit 20C stores synonym dictionary data (not shown) including information that can identify words having a synonymous relationship. The synonym dictionary storage unit 20C is realized mainly by the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.
“Synonyms” are referred to as synonyms when two or more different words have the same meaning as each other, particularly when they are used as words indicating the same attribute in a form item.
The “synonym dictionary” is a collection of data having information that can determine that two or more words are synonyms with each other. For example, when “name” and “name” are synonyms, it is possible to determine that these words have a synonymous relationship by referring to the synonym dictionary.

[Item name acquisition unit 21]
The item name obtaining unit 21 obtains a plurality of item names described in a plurality of forms. Specifically, the item name acquisition unit 21 acquires a plurality of item names described in a plurality of forms used by different local governments for the same procedure.
Note that the processing executed by the item name obtaining unit 21 corresponds to an item name obtaining step.

The item name obtaining unit 21 is mainly realized by the processor 11, the storage device 12, and the communication interface 13 of the standard item name setting device 10.
Specifically, the processor 11 acquires analysis results of a plurality of forms to be processed from the form processing device 30 via the communication interface 13. Here, the analysis results of the plurality of forms include character string data of one or more item names obtained from the forms by optical character recognition.

  Note that the item name obtaining unit 21 may obtain images of a plurality of forms from the form processing device 30 and obtain character string data of the item names from the obtained images based on predetermined image processing.

[Reservation impossible condition setting unit 22]
The allocation-impossible condition setting section 22 sets an allocation-impossible condition based on the item name determined to be an allocation-impossible item or classified into an allocation-impossible item. Further, the allocation-impossible condition setting section 22 sets an allocation-impossible condition based on the item name designated by the user as an allocation-impossible item. The process executed by the allocation impossible condition setting unit 22 corresponds to an allocation impossible condition setting step.
“Unallocated items” is a classification of item names that are excluded from processing targets among the item names acquired by the item name acquisition unit 21.
The “reservation impossible condition” is a condition for determining that the item name is “reservation impossible item” which is an item name that is not classified into any of the types. If the item name satisfies the allocation prohibition condition, the item name is excluded from the processing target without being classified into any of the types. In addition, when the item name is excluded from the processing target, the item name may be further categorized as an “allocation impossible item”. For example, a match with an item name classified as a non-allocation item corresponds to an example of a “non-allocation condition”. Further, the “allocation impossible condition” may be obtained by machine learning based on the item name determined to be an unallocatable item.

The allocation impossible condition setting unit 22 is realized mainly by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.
Specifically, the processor 11 generates dictionary information (allocation impossible dictionary) having an item name classified as an unallocatable item or an item name designated as a non-allocatable item by a user, and stores the dictionary information. 12 is stored. In this case, the item name included in the unreservable dictionary is the unreservable condition.
In addition, the processor 11 may generate a non-allocatable condition by machine learning based on the item name classified as the non-allocatable item, and store the condition in the storage device 12.
Further, the processor 11 may update the allocation impossible condition in accordance with the update of the allocation impossible item.

[First Classification Unit 23]
The first classifying unit 23 classifies the plurality of item names acquired by the item name acquiring unit 21 into one or a plurality of types. The first classifying unit 23 is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.
Note that the processing performed by the first classification unit 23 corresponds to a first classification step.

The “classification by type” is a type of an item name determined based on a word (noun) constituting the item name. For example, “name (name)”, “address (address)” and the like correspond to an example of “classification by type”. "Others (etc)" for classifying item names that do not correspond to a specific type is also one type of classification.
Specifically, the first classifying unit 23 refers to the type definition information storage unit 20B in which a condition (list of words) corresponding to each type is defined, and determines which type of the word constituting the item name is The type of the item name is determined based on whether or not is satisfied.
As an example, the phrase “name / name / name / name” is defined in advance for the classification by type of “name”. If the noun obtained as one element of the item name by performing a morphological analysis on a certain item name is any of “name / name / name / name”, the first classifying unit 23 The above item names are classified into “names”.
The first classifying unit 23 classifies, among the plurality of item names acquired by the item name acquiring unit 21, an item name that cannot be classified into any of the predetermined classifications by type, as “other (etc)”. .

  Further, the first classifying unit 23 obtains a plurality of nouns from one item name, and when the plurality of nouns are classified into different types, the above item names are allocated. Classification is to be made as impossible items, and classification by type is not performed.

In addition, the first classifying unit 23 classifies, among the plurality of item names acquired by the item name acquiring unit 21, the item names satisfying the allocatable condition as unallocable items.
That is, if the processing target item name satisfies the allocation non-permission condition set by the allocation non-permission condition setting unit 22, the first classifying unit 23 classifies the processing target item name into an allocation non-permissible item, and classifies by type. Will not be processed.

[Second Classification Unit 24A]
The second classification unit 24A classifies the item names classified into the classification by type into one or a plurality of synonymous item groups based on the degree of synonymity. The second classification unit 24A is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.
The processing performed by the second classification unit 24A corresponds to a second classification step.

“Synonymity” is an evaluation value indicating a certain degree of a plurality of item names having the same meaning. That is, the higher the degree of synonymity between a plurality of item names, the greater the degree of synonymity.
“Synonymous item group” is a grouping of item names having a high degree of synonymity. For example, item names having a degree of synonym of a certain value or more are classified into the same group to form a synonym item group.

Specifically, the second classification unit 24A calculates the synonymity between the first item name and the second item name as follows. First, the second classification unit 24A obtains nouns (here, Na1 & Na2) included in the first item name based on the result of the morphological analysis of the first item name. Similarly, the second classifying unit 24A obtains a noun (here, Nb1 & Nb2) included in the second item name. Then, the second classifying unit 24A determines whether Na1 and Nb1 have a synonymous relationship and further whether Na2 and Nb2 have a synonymous relationship based on information in a predetermined synonym dictionary.
For example, assuming that the ratio (percentage) of nouns determined to be synonymous among the nouns forming the item name is synonymous, the synonymity is determined when both Na1 and Nb1 and both Na2 and Nb2 are determined to be synonymous. 100, if either one is determined to be synonymous, the synonymity is 50; if both are not synonymous, the synonymity is 0.

The second classifying unit 24A generates a synonymous item group based on a synonymity threshold (for example, 50 or more). That is, when the degree of synonym between the first item name and the second item name is equal to or greater than the threshold, the second classification unit 24A puts the first item name and the second item name into the same synonym item group. Classify.
Further, when there is a third item name, the synonymity between the first item name and the third item name and the synonymity between the second item name and the third item name are both less than the threshold. In some cases, the second classification unit 24A generates a new synonymous item group, and classifies the third item name there.

In addition, the second classification unit 24A excludes, from the processing targets, item names that include words having an ill relation in one item name among the item names classified into the type-based classification.
That is, for example, when the words Na1 and Na2 constituting the first item name are determined as synonyms based on the synonym dictionary, the second classifying unit 24A assigns the first item name to the processing target. Exclude from At this time, the second classifying unit 24A may classify an item name including a word having an ill relation to an unallocatable item.

[Third Classification Unit 24B]
The third classifying unit 24B integrates and re-classifies the synonymous item groups with respect to the plurality of synonymous item groups classified by the second classifying unit 24A based on the synonymity between the synonymous item groups. The third classification unit 24B is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.
The processing performed by the third classification unit 24B corresponds to a third classification step.

  Specifically, the third classification unit 24B calculates the degree of synonym between the standard item names among the synonymous item groups classified by the second classification unit 24A. The calculation of the synonymity is performed in the same manner as the calculation of the synonymity in the second classification unit 24A. Then, when the synonymity between the standard items is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the synonymous item groups are determined to have a high synonymity and are grouped into one synonymous item group. The standard item name of each synonymous item group is set by an evaluation unit 25, a presentation unit 26, a standard item name selection unit 27, and an update unit 28 described later.

[Evaluation unit 25]
The evaluation unit 25 evaluates the standardity of the item names classified into the synonymous item groups based on the degree of coincidence with the standard item names stored in the standard item name storage unit 20A. The evaluation unit 25 is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the standard item name setting device 10.
Note that the processing executed by the evaluation unit 25 corresponds to an evaluation step.

“Standardity of item name” is an evaluation value indicating the degree to which the item name is appropriate as a standard item name. Specifically, it indicates that the higher the standard degree, the more appropriate the standard item name.
The “matching degree” is an evaluation value indicating the degree to which the item name includes a word that matches the standard item name stored in the standard item name storage unit 20A. Then, the higher the degree of coincidence, the greater the standardity of the item name.

Specifically, the evaluation unit 25 divides the item names to be evaluated into morphemes by morphological analysis. Whether each morpheme matches the standard item name in the standard item information table T1 stored in the standard item name storage unit 20A (1 point), has a synonymous relationship (0.5 point), or is other than that Based on (0 points), the standardity is calculated.
For example, assuming that the first item name is delimited as (w1 | w2 | w3) and that w1, w2, and w3 respectively appear in the standard item information table T1, the evaluation unit 25 determines that the first item name is The standardity V1 = 1.0 × 3 = 3 points. In this example, a word that matches the standard item name is added with 1.0 point, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Next, the evaluation unit 25 determines that the second item name is delimited as (w4 | w5 | w6), and w4, w5, and w6 do not appear in the standard item information table T1, but w4 and w6 are standard item names. And have a synonymous relationship. In this case, the standardity of the second item name is V2 = 0.5 × 2 = 1 point. In this example, 0.5 points are added to a word having a synonymous relationship with the standard item name, but the present invention is not limited to this as long as the point is smaller than a word that matches the standard item name.

  The evaluation unit 25 calculates, for each synonymous item group, the standardity described above for each item name classified into the synonymous item group.

[Presentation unit 26]
When there is no item name whose standardity is equal to or more than the threshold value among the item names classified into the synonymous item group, the presentation unit 26 selects the item name based on a predetermined condition from the item names classified into the synonymous item group. An item name obtained by converting an item name (presentation target item name) based on a predetermined rule is presented as a standard item name candidate.
The processing performed by the presentation unit 26 corresponds to a presentation step.

The "predetermined condition" is a condition for selecting a standard item name candidate from among item names classified into a synonymous item group. For example, when there is no item name whose standardity is equal to or more than the threshold value among the item names classified into the synonymous item group, the presentation unit 26 has the highest appearance frequency among the item names classified into the synonymous item group. The item name, that is, the item name with the largest number in the synonymous item group is selected. Alternatively, as the predetermined condition, an item name having the smallest number of nouns in the item name or an item name having the smallest number of characters in the item name may be selected. Furthermore, priorities can be assigned to these conditions, and when a plurality of items corresponding to the conditions are selected, the conditions can be combined so that the items are selected according to the next priority condition.
The “predetermined rule” is a rule for converting a noun constituting the above-mentioned item to be presented into a noun which is a synonym and is included in the standard item name stored in the standard item name storage unit 20A. .
“Standard item name candidates” are item names that can be set as standard item names. Specifically, the item names obtained by converting the item names to be presented according to the predetermined rule correspond to the above “candidates for standard item names”.

The presentation unit 26 is mainly realized by the processor 11, the storage device 12, and the communication interface 13 of the standard item name setting device 10.
Specifically, the processor 11 selects an item name based on the above-described predetermined condition when there is no item name classified into the synonymous item group whose standardity is equal to or greater than the threshold. Then, the processor 11 converts the selected item name based on the predetermined rule to obtain a standard item name candidate. Note that the item name selected based on the predetermined condition may not be converted and may be used as it is as a standard item name candidate.
The processor 11 transmits the standard item name candidates to the form processing device 30 via the communication interface 13 and causes the display device 32 of the form processing device 30 to display the candidates. Then, the processor 11 accepts information input such as approval of the standard item name candidate or approval after editing from the form processing device 30 via the communication interface 13.
In the above example, the standard item name candidates are transmitted to the form processing device 30 and information input such as approval for the standard item name candidates or approval after editing is received from the form processing device 30. The item name selected based on the predetermined condition may be used as it is as a candidate of the standard item name as it is without performing the process of transmitting to the form processing device 30 and delivered to the standard item name selection unit 27.

[Standard item name selection section 27]
The standard item name selecting unit 27 selects a standard item name from the item names classified into the synonymous item group based on the standard level. The standard item name selection unit 27 is mainly realized by the processor 11, the storage device 12, and the communication interface 13 of the standard item name setting device 10.
Note that the processing executed by the standard item name selection unit 27 corresponds to a standard item name selection step.

  Specifically, the standard item name selection unit 27, when there is an item name whose standardity is equal to or larger than the threshold value among the item names classified into the synonymous item group, sets the item name having the highest standardity to the standard item. Select by name.

The standard item name selection unit 27 selects a standard item name candidate presented by the presentation unit 26 as a standard item name based on the input.
Specifically, the standard item name selection unit 27 receives, through the communication interface 13, that the candidate of the standard item name presented by the presentation unit 26 is approved by the user of the form processing device 30. In, the standard item name candidate is selected as the standard item name.
At this time, the form processing device 30 may make the standard item name candidate editable. If the edited standard item name candidate is approved, the standard item name selection unit 27 outputs the edited standard item name. Is selected as a standard item name.

  The standard item name selection unit 27 executes the above-described processing for each of the synonymous item groups, and selects a standard item name.

[Update unit 28]
The updating unit 28 updates the information of the standard item name storage unit 20A based on the standard item name selected by the standard item name selecting unit 27. The updating unit 28 is mainly realized by the processor 11, the storage device 12, and the communication interface 13 of the standard item name setting device 10.
The processing executed by the updating unit 28 corresponds to an updating process.

Specifically, the updating unit 28 presents the list of standard item names selected by the standard item name selecting unit 27 to the form processing device 30 and stores the standard item name in the standard item name that has been approved. The standard item information table T1 of the unit 20A is written.
Note that the approval of the standard item name may be omitted, and the updating unit 28 may write the standard item name selected by the standard item name selecting unit 27 in the standard item information table T1.

[Synonym dictionary creation unit 29]
The synonym dictionary creation unit 29 is mainly realized by the processor 11, the storage device 12, and the communication interface 13 of the standard item name setting device 10.
The synonym dictionary creation unit 29 determines whether or not the word (noun) extracted by the morphological analysis from the item name I is in the synonym dictionary. The information is presented to the user via the interface 13 and the presentation unit 26. The synonym dictionary creation unit 29 receives synonym information input by the user, registers the information in the synonym dictionary, and creates a synonym dictionary.
Note that the processing executed by the synonym dictionary creation unit 29 corresponds to a synonym dictionary creation step.

[Process Flow by Standard Item Name Setting Device 10]
Next, the flow of the standard item name setting process executed by the standard item name setting device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 6, the standard item name setting device 10 acquires the item names I _i (i = 1 to N) included in a plurality of forms P relating to the same procedure (S1). Here, N is the total number of item names acquired in S1, and is an integer of 2 or more.

Next, the standard item name setting device 10 initializes the variable i to 1 (S2), and proceeds to the process of S3.
In the process of S3 is the standard item name setting device 10, the item name I _i determines whether to satisfy the allowance impossible condition set by the provision allowed condition setting unit 22 (S3). Thus, when the item name I _i can be reserve a standard item name setting device 10 proceeds to a process of S4.

In the process of S4 is standard field name setting device 10 identifies the item type of the item name _{I i} (S4). Specifically, the item name I _i is morphologically analyzed to extract the nouns included in the item name I _i , and the extracted noun is classified into the item type of the item name I _i based on which of the item types corresponds to the item type. To identify. At this time, in the case where the extracted noun does not correspond to any of the item type, an item type of item names I _i and "other".

Then, if the specified item type in S4 is not more (S5: No), the standard item name setting device 10, the item name I _i specified by the S4 item type (type classification, and other types (S6).
On the other hand, when there are a plurality of item types specified in S4 (S5: Yes), the standard item name setting device 10 classifies the item names _Ii as unallocatable items (S7).
Further, in S3, and corresponds to the item name I _i is provision not conditions, even when it is determined not to be reserve (S3: No), the item name I _i classifies the provision not item (S7).
Note that when an unallocatable item is simply treated as not to be processed, S7 may not be executed, that is, the process may proceed to S8 without being classified as an unallocatable item.

If the variable i has not reached N after S6 or S7 (S8: No), the standard item name setting device 10 adds 1 to the variable i (S9), returns to S3, and performs the subsequent processing. repeat.
On the other hand, if the variable i has reached N after S6 or S7 (S8: Yes), the standard item name setting device 10 proceeds to the process of S10 shown in FIG.

In S10, the standard item name setting device 10 initializes each of the variables j and k to 1 (S10), and proceeds to S11. Here, the total number of classifications by type is M (M is an integer of 1 or more). That is, in this example, with the presence of Type Classification _C 1 -C _M. Also, the number of item names classified into the type-specific classification C _j is represented as L _j .

In S11, the standard item name setting device 10 selects the item name _{I k} is the k th element contained in the type classification _{C j} (S11).
Here, if it does not contain the term and objections related in the item name _{I k} (S12: Yes), the standard item name setting device 10 advances to S13.

In S13, the standard item name setting device 10 calculates the synonymous degree between each item name included in the item names _{I k} and Type Classification _{C j} (S13).
Here, if there is synonymous item group for the item name I _k and item name is synonymous degree is equal to or larger than the threshold as elements (S14: Yes), to add the item name I _k to the synonymous field group (S15).
On the other hand, if there is no synonymous item group to the item name is the item name I _k synonymous with the degree is equal to or higher than the threshold and the elements (S14: No), to create a new synonymous item group, add an item name I _k there (S16).

S15, S16, or if it contains homograph the item name _{I k} in S12 (S12: No), the standard item name setting device 10 advances to S17.
In S17, if the variable k has not reached the _{L j} (S17: No), the standard item name setting device 10 adds 1 to the variable k (S18), returns to S11 and repeats the processing thereafter .
On the other hand, in S17, if the variable k has not reached the _{L j} (S17: No), the standard item name setting device 10 proceeds to S19.
If the variable j has not reached M in S19 (S19: No), 1 is added to the variable j, the variable k is initialized to 1 (S20), the process returns to S11 and the subsequent processes are repeated. .
On the other hand, if the variable j has reached M in S19 (S19: Yes), the standard item name setting device 10 proceeds to S21 shown in FIG.

In S21, the standard item name setting device 10 initializes each of the variables s and t to 1 (S21), and proceeds to S22. Here, the total number of synonymous item groups is Q (Q is an integer of 1 or more). That is, in this example, it is assumed that synonymous item group _G 1 ~G _Q is present. Also, it represents the number of the item name to be classified synonymous field group G _s as P _S.
Note that S21 is performed after the process shown in FIG. 7, that is, after S19, and after the process shown in FIG. 9, that is, after S49. In the former case, The process is for the synonymous item group classified in the second classification process, and the latter is the process for the synonymous item group classified in the third classification process.

In S22, the standard item name setting device 10 selects the synonymous field group _{G s,} the value of _{V max} is initialized to 0 (S22).
The standard field names set device 10 selects the item name _{I t} is a t-th elements included interchangeably field group _{G s} (S23), calculate the standard of _{V t} of the item name _{I t} (S24) . The calculation of the standardity is performed by the evaluation unit 25.

Here, when the standard of _{V t} is greater than _{V max} (S25: _Yes), by substituting norm _{V t} to _{V max} to update the value (S26).
After the S26, or if the standard of _{V t} is not greater than _{V max} in S25 (S25: No), the process proceeds to S27.

If the variable t has not reached _Ps in S27 (S27: No), 1 is added to the variable t (S28), and the process returns to S23 to repeat the subsequent processes.
On the other hand, when the variable t has reached _Ps in S27 (S27: Yes), the standard item name setting device 10 proceeds to S29.

In step S29, if V _max (the maximum value of the standardity) is equal to or larger than the threshold value T (S29: Yes), the standard item name setting device 10 selects the item name having the maximum standardity as the standard item name ( (S30), the selected standard item name is stored in the storage device 12 (standard item information table T1) (S31).

If V _max (the maximum value of the standardity) is less than the threshold value T in S29 (S29: No), the standard item name setting device 10 generates standard item name candidates according to predetermined conditions (S32). ).
Specifically, the highest item name frequency of item names I classified synonymously field group G _s, that is, selects the largest item name in the synonymous field groups G _s. Alternatively, an item name having the smallest number of nouns in the item name or an item name having a small number of characters in the item name may be selected. Further, priorities may be assigned to these conditions, and when a plurality of items corresponding to the conditions are selected, an item name may be selected from the next priority condition. Then, the item name (presentation target item name) selected based on the predetermined condition is obtained as a standard item name candidate (standard item name candidate). The item name selected based on the predetermined condition may be further converted based on a predetermined rule, and the converted item name may be obtained as a standard item name candidate (standard item name candidate).

Next, the generated standard item name candidates are presented to the form processing device 30 (S33). When the standard item name setting device 10 receives information input such as approval of standard item name candidates or approval after editing from the form processing device 30 (S34), the standard item name setting device 10 executes S30 and S31 in the same manner as described above. .
In the present embodiment, the candidates for the standard item name selected in S32 are presented to the form processing device 30 and information input from the form processing device 30 is received. The set standard item name candidates may be automatically set as standard item names. In that case, the process proceeds from S32 to S30 without executing S33 and S34.

If the variable s has not reached Q after S31 (S35: No), 1 is added to the variable s, the variable t is initialized to 1 (S36), and the process returns to S22 to perform the subsequent processing. repeat.
On the other hand, if the variable s has reached Q in S35 (S35: Yes), the process proceeds from S19 shown in FIG. 7 to S41 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if this process has been executed from S49 shown in FIG. 9, the process ends.

In S41, the standard item name setting device 10 initializes the variable a to 1 (S41). Here, the total number of synonymous item groups is R (R is an integer of 1 or more). That is, in this example, as synonymous item groups classified by the second classification processing, and the presence of synonymous field group G ₁ ~G _R. Next, the standard item name setting device 10 selects _a synonymous item group Ga (S42), initializes a variable k to 1 (S43), and subsequently selects _a synonymous item group G _{a + k} (S44).

Then, the standard item name setting device 10 calculates the degree of synonym between the standard item names of the selected two synonymous item groups G _a and the synonymous item group G _{a + k} and compares them (S45). If the degree of synonym is greater than 0, that is, if 0> synonym (S45: Yes), the synonym item group G _a and the synonym item group G _{a + k} are integrated (S46).
When the variable a + k has not reached R (S47: No), the standard item name setting device 10 adds 1 to the variable k (S48), returns to S44, and repeats the subsequent processing. On the other hand, if the variable a + k has reached R (S47: Yes), the process proceeds to S49.

  In S49, if the variable a has not reached R-1 (S49: No), the standard item name setting device 10 adds 1 to the variable a (S50), returns to S42, and performs the subsequent processing. repeat. On the other hand, when the variable a has reached R-1 (S49: Yes), the process proceeds to S21 shown in FIG.

The above is the flow of the process of setting the standard item name based on the forms P collected for one procedure. The standard item name setting device 10 can set standard item names for a plurality of procedures by executing the same processing as described above for each of the plurality of procedures.
Note that the above processing flow is an example, and the processing after S41 may not be executed, and the processing may be always ended in the processing after S35. In this case, a final standard item name is set based on the synonymous item group classified in the second classification process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a flow of a process of creating a synonym dictionary executed by the standard item name setting device 10 will be described.

The standard item name setting device 10 initializes a variable k to 1 (S51) and selects an item name I _k (k = 1 to N) included in a plurality of forms P relating to the same procedure (S52). Here, N is the total number of item names acquired in S52, and is an integer of 2 or more. The item name _Ik is obtained from the item name group IG generated before the first classification process, or is obtained from all classes of the classification Cm, which is a set of item names classified by type in the first classification process. Can be any one.

Then, standard field name setting device 10 obtains the word by morphological analysis item name _{I k Wl (l = 1~NN)} (S53), it initializes a variable l (S54). Then, the word W1 is selected (S55), and it is determined whether or not the word W1 exists in the synonym dictionary with reference to the synonym dictionary (S56). When the word Wl is included in the synonym dictionary (S56: Yes), the process proceeds to S60.
On the other hand, when the word Wl is not included in the synonym dictionary (S56: No), the standard item name setting device 10 presents this word to the form processing device 30 as an unregistered word (S57). Then, when the standard item name setting device 10 receives the information input on the synonym from the form processing device 30 (S58), it updates the synonym dictionary (S59).

If the variable 1 has not reached NN (S60: No), 1 is added to the variable 1 (S61), and S55 to S60 are repeated. When the variable 1 has reached NN, that is, when the processing has been completed for all the words Wl in the item name Ik (S60: Yes), the process proceeds to S62, and when the variable k has not reached N (S62: No) ), 1 is added to the variable k (S63), and S52 to S62 are repeated. If the variable k has reached N, that is, if the processing has been completed for all the item names Ik (S62: Yes), the processing ends.
As described above, item names that are not registered in the synonym dictionary are presented to the user, input of synonym information is accepted, and the synonym dictionary is registered.

[Summary]
The main features of the standard item name setting device 10 according to the present embodiment described above are as follows.
[1] The standard item name setting device 10 according to the present embodiment sets a standard item name which is a standard item name in a form. The standard item name setting device 10 includes a standard item name storage unit 20A that stores information on standard item names, an item name obtaining unit 21 that obtains a plurality of item names described in a plurality of forms, and an item name obtaining unit 21. The first classifying unit 23 classifies the plurality of item names obtained by the above into one or more types of classification based on predetermined conditions, and classifies the item names classified by type into one or more based on the degree of synonymity. The second classification unit 24A classifies the items into a plurality of synonymous item groups, and the standardity of the item names classified into the synonymous item groups is evaluated based on the degree of coincidence with the standard item names stored in the standard item name storage unit 20A. An evaluation unit 25, a standard item name selecting unit 27 for selecting a standard item name based on standardity from item names classified into synonymous item groups, and a standard item name selected by the standard item name selecting unit 27 Based on It comprises an updating unit 28 for updating the information of the item name storage unit 20A, a.
According to the standard item name setting device 10, a standard item name can be set for an item name used as the same meaning in a plurality of forms.

[2] In the standard item name setting device 10 described above, a non-allocation condition setting for setting a non-allocation condition, which is a condition in which the item name acquired by the item name acquisition unit 21 is not classified into any of the plurality of classifications by type. A part 22 is provided. The first classifying unit 23 does not classify the item names satisfying the allocatable condition among the plurality of item names acquired by the item name acquiring unit 21 into the classification by type.
By doing so, it is possible to prevent an inappropriate item name from being mixed in an item name as a basis for selecting a standard item name. Thereby, a more appropriate item name can be set as the standard item name.

[3] In the above-described standard item name setting device 10, the second classifying unit 24A excludes, from the processing targets, item names that include words having a mutually unrelated relationship among the item names classified into the classification by type.
Since the item name including a synonym may be erroneously classified, according to the above configuration, the item name including the synonym can be excluded from the item name on which the standard item name is selected. Thereby, a more appropriate item name can be set as the standard item name.

[4] In the standard item name setting device 10 described above, the standard item name selection unit 27 determines whether the standard item has a standard value greater than or equal to the threshold value among the item names classified into the synonymous item groups. Selects the largest item name as the standard item name.
By doing so, the most appropriate item as the standard item can be selected from the item names having the same relation.

[5] The standard item name setting device 10 described above, when there is no item name whose standardity is equal to or more than the threshold value among the item names classified into the synonymous item group, the item name classified into the synonymous item group A presentation unit 26 is provided for presenting item names selected based on predetermined conditions from among them as standard item name candidates. The standard item name selection unit 27 selects a standard item name candidate presented by the presentation unit 26 as a standard item name based on the input.
In this way, even if there is no synonymous item name suitable for the standard item, a standard item name candidate can be generated and the standard item name can be set based on the standard item name candidate. .

[6] The standard item name setting device 10 includes a third classification unit 24B that re-classifies the synonymous item groups based on the synonymity of the standard item names in each of the plurality of synonymous item groups.
