An information processing apparatus according to the present application includes a generation unit and an update unit. The generation unit generates candidate data of the summary data, which is summary data generated based on the original data and is restricted according to a predetermined constraint condition received from the client user. The updating unit updates the constraint based on the candidate data generated by the generating unit.

(embodiment)
[Outline of information processing]
First, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of information processing according to an embodiment. The information processing illustrated in FIG. 1 is processing performed by the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment executing an information processing method.

The information processing according to the embodiment is, for example, a process of generating summary data such as a short headline that captures the main points from original data such as news articles. Abstract data is generated interactively by giving specific keywords and the like to be included as constraints.

Here, the headlines of daily news articles may be manually created by the client user who created the news article, which is a time-consuming task for the client user. For this reason, conventionally, various techniques have been proposed for automatically creating headline candidates and presenting them to client users. However, even for the same news article, it is common for the headlines created by editors to differ, so depending on the editor, the automatically created headlines are irrelevant (low accuracy). There was a possibility that I would feel that. Thus, conventionally, there was room for improvement in terms of generating more appropriate summary data.

Therefore, in the information processing according to the embodiment, summary data is automatically generated and presented to the client user, and new constraints are received from the client user to regenerate the summary data, thereby gradually updating the constraints. Generate summary data.

Figure 1 shows the original data, "How much volcanic ash? The Japan Meteorological Agency will start a new ash fall forecast from the 24th. Volcanic ash will also cause great damage to our lives over a wide area. New ash fall forecasts are being started one after another.What is this forecast that is an upgraded version of the previous ash fall forecast? It is also assumed that the client user who has input such original data has a rough headline proposal such as "new ash fall forecast, start of Meteorological Agency".

As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 1 first receives original data (step S1). In the example shown in FIG. 1, a case is shown in which text data, which is a news article, is received as the original data, but the original data is not limited to text data, and may be image data, audio data, or the like.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 generates summary data candidate data (without restrictions) from the original data (step S2). As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 can generate summary data from original data using a model such as a text conversion model learned in advance.

Such models include models without constraints and models with constraints. A model without constraints can be generated by learning past original data and correct summary data as a data set.

A model with constraints is generated using summary data obtained by inputting original data into a model without constraints and correct summary data prepared in advance by the client user. Specifically, in the model with constraints, keywords (phrases or sentences) that are in the correct summary data but not in the summary data (model output) are extracted as constraints, and the constraints extracted in the above dataset It can be generated by using a constrained dataset with conditions added. In addition, the model with constraints is not in the summary data obtained by inputting the original data into the model with constraints generated above, but with keywords (phrases, sentences) in the correct summary data as constraints. It can be generated by using multiple constrained datasets that are extracted and further constrained to the constrained dataset. A model generated when used with a dataset with multiple constraints is a model that outputs summary data that satisfies multiple constraints.

In step S2, the information processing apparatus 1 generates summary data candidate data (without constraints) using a model without constraints. The example shown in FIG. 1 shows an example in which "What is the amount of volcanic ash? Japan Meteorological Agency" is generated as unrestricted candidate data.

Subsequently, the information processing device 1 presents the generated candidate data (without restrictions) to the client terminal 100 (step S3). Subsequently, the information processing device 1 receives a constraint condition from the client terminal 100 (step S4). Constraints include keyword constraints, phrase constraints, sentence constraints, and the like. Note that the keyword constraint is to constrain in units of words (keywords), the phrase constraint is to constrain in units of phrases consisting of a plurality of words, and the sentence constraint is to constrain in units of sentences. be.

Note that the constraint may be a condition that restricts the inclusion of keywords, phrases, and sentences in the summary data, or may be a condition that restricts the inclusion of the keywords, phrases, or sentences in the summary data. In addition, the constraint may include a constraint on the number of characters, a constraint on images, a constraint on sounds, and the like. Further, for example, if the constraint includes a plurality of keyword constraints (or phrase constraint, sentence constraint, combination of constraints), AND condition and OR condition may be included.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 1 receives, as a constraint condition, a keyword restriction that restricts the inclusion of the keyword "new" in the summary data.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 generates candidate data (with restrictions) of summary data from the original data based on the accepted constraint conditions (step S5). Specifically, the information processing apparatus 1 inputs the original data and the keyword constraint "new" to the above-described model with the constraint condition, and sets "the amount of volcanic ash?" Generate (output) a new ash fall forecast.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 presents the generated candidate data (with restrictions) to the client terminal 100 (step S6). Subsequently, the information processing device 1 receives a constraint condition from the client terminal 100 (step S7). In step S7, it is assumed that a phrase restriction that restricts the inclusion of the phrase "Meteorological Agency" in the summary data is accepted as a restriction condition.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 generates summary data candidate data (with restrictions) from the original data based on the accepted constraint conditions (step S8). Specifically, the information processing apparatus 1 inputs the original data and the phrase constraint "Meteorological Agency" into the above-described model with the constraint condition, and sets the summary data candidate data (with constraint (2)) as "How much volcanic ash? Generate (output) the Japan Meteorological Agency New Forecast.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 presents the generated candidate data (with restrictions) to the client terminal 100 (step S9). Subsequently, the information processing device 1 receives constraints from the client terminal 100 (step S10). In step S10, it is assumed that a keyword restriction that restricts the summary data to include the keyword "ash fall" is accepted as a restriction condition.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 generates summary data candidate data (with restrictions) from the original data based on the accepted constraint conditions (step S11). Specifically, the information processing apparatus 1 inputs the original data and the keyword constraint "ash fall" to the model with the above-described constraint condition, and sets the summary data candidate data (with constraint (3)) as "Meteorological Agency, from 24th Generate (output) a new ash fall forecast.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 1 presents the generated candidate data (with restrictions) to the client terminal 100 (step S12). Subsequently, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 1 receives an instruction to confirm summary data from the client terminal 100 (step S13).

When the confirmation instruction is received, the information processing apparatus 1 confirms the candidate data presented immediately before as the confirmation data of the summary data (step S14).

As described above, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment presents the generated candidate data to the client user, gradually updates the constraint conditions, and finalizes the summary data, thereby providing the summary data desired by the client user. can be generated. That is, according to the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment, it is possible to generate an appropriate summary (data).

"Unrestricted" is information including the model without the above-described restrictions. "Constrained" is information including the model with the above-described constraint. Note that "with restrictions" may have an item for each constraint (or a combination of a plurality of constraints).

(control unit 3)
The control unit 3 is a controller, and for example, various programs (determination program (corresponding to an example of ) is implemented by using a RAM or the like as a work area. In addition, the control unit 3 is a controller, and may be implemented by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a GPGPU (General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit). .

As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 3 includes a reception unit 31, a generation unit 32, an update unit 33, and a presentation unit 34, and implements or executes information processing functions and actions described below. do. Also, the control unit 3 can implement the information processing described with reference to FIG. One or more processors of the information processing device 1 can realize each function in the control unit 3 by executing instructions stored in one or more memories of the information processing device 1 . Note that the internal configuration of the control unit 3 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 2, and may be another configuration as long as it performs the information processing described later. For example, the generation unit 32 may perform all or part of the information processing described later with respect to units other than the generation unit 32 .

The reception unit 31 receives various types of information. For example, the reception unit 31 receives original data in the service. The original data is, for example, text data, as shown in FIG. Also, the original data is not limited to text data, and may include image data, audio data, or data combining these data (text data+image data, etc.).

In addition, the receiving unit 31 receives constraints given to the summary data. Constraints are, as described above, keyword constraints that constrain the texts of keywords included in the summary data, phrase constraints that constrain the texts of phrases that are included in the summary data, and sentence constraints that constrain the texts of sentences included in the summary data. There are restrictions, etc. Note that the constraint may be a condition that restricts the inclusion of keywords, phrases, and sentences in the summary data, or a condition that restricts the inclusion of keywords, phrases, and sentences in the summary data. . In other words, the constraint may be a constraint that the summary data should include a predetermined text, or a constraint that the summary data should not include the predetermined text. Further, the constraints may include a character count constraint that limits the number of characters in the summary data when the summary data is text data.

The restriction on the number of characters includes a restriction that the number of characters of summary data is kept below a predetermined threshold, a restriction that the number of characters is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, a restriction that specifies the number of characters, and the like. Also, the character count constraint may be, for example, a constraint to make the number of characters larger (or smaller) than the number of characters of the presented candidate data.

Further, the constraint may be a constraint that an image including (or not including) a specific object is extracted when the summary data is image data. In addition, if the summary data is voice data, the constraint may be a constraint that designates the tone of voice, voice reproduction speed, accent, gender, or the like.

Note that the constraint condition may be accepted at the timing after the candidate data is presented, or may be accepted at the same timing as the original data.

Also, as described above, since constraints have the property of being updated gradually, they may include an AND condition or an OR condition with respect to the previously (or earlier) received constraint.

The accepting unit 31 also accepts a confirmation instruction to confirm the candidate data presented by the presentation unit 34 as the confirmed data of the summary data.

The generation unit 32 generates summary data candidate data that summarizes the original data based on the original data and the constraint conditions received by the reception unit 31 . Specifically, when the receiving unit 31 receives only the original data (no constraint), the generation unit 32 converts the model of the category specified by the client user from among the models without constraints in the model information 43 to the original data. is input to generate the summary data output from the model as candidate data.

Further, when the receiving unit 31 receives the constraint, the generation unit 32 inputs the original data to the model with the constraint that matches the constraint, and generates summary data output from the model as candidate data.

Note that when the constraint conditions are updated by the update unit 33, the generation unit 32 inputs the original data to the model with the constraint conditions that match the updated constraint conditions, and selects the summary data output from the model as candidates. Generate as data.

Further, when the accepting unit 31 accepts a confirmation instruction, the generating unit 32 confirms the candidate data generated immediately before as confirmed data of the summary data, ” from 0 to 1.

By confirming the fixed data of the summary data, the user who uses the service can view the fixed data of the summary data and the corresponding original data via the user terminal 200 .

Note that the summary data generated by the generation unit 32 is not limited to being of the same data type as the original data, and may be of a different data type. For example, if the original data is text data, the summary data may be image data or audio data. That is, the generator 32 may generate summary data using a model that outputs summary data of a data type different from that of the original data.

The updating unit 33 updates the constraint conditions based on the candidate data generated by the generating unit 32 . Specifically, when a new constraint is received, the updating unit 33 updates the past constraint by adding a new constraint. In other words, the updating unit 33 updates the constraint to include all the past constraints and the new constraints. In other words, when the updating unit 33 receives from the client user an addition of a constraint to the candidate data presented by the presentation unit 34, the updating unit 33 updates the constraint corresponding to the candidate data.

Note that, for example, when there is an instruction from the client terminal 100 to add some of the specified constraints from the past constraints, the updating unit 33 updates the specified part of the constraints and the new constraints. Update constraints with conditions. Further, when receiving an instruction to discard the past constraint, the updating unit 33 updates the constraint to only the new constraint.

The presentation unit 34 presents the candidate data of the summary data generated by the generation unit 32 to the client terminal 100 . For example, when the candidate data is text data or image data, the presentation unit 34 displays the candidate data on the display unit (not shown) of the client terminal 100 .

In addition, when the candidate data is audio data, the presentation unit 34 outputs the candidate data as audio through a speaker (not shown) of the client terminal 100 . At this time, the presentation unit 34 may also display voice text data on the client terminal 100 .

In addition, the presenting unit 34 may highlight a portion changed from the previously presented candidate data. In addition, the presenting unit 34 may present previously presented candidate data together with newly presented candidate data.

Next, a display screen displayed on the display unit of the client terminal 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen 500 displayed on the display section of the client terminal 100. As shown in FIG. The display screen 500 shown in FIG. 6 may be generated and transmitted by the information processing device 1 or may be drawn by the client terminal 100 according to a program provided to the client terminal 100 from the information processing device 1 .

As shown in FIG. 6, a display screen 500 includes input items 501 for inputting (editing) original data, input items 502 for inputting constraint conditions, and summary generation for generating summary data from the original data. A button 503, a display area 504 in which summary data (candidate data) is displayed, and a confirmation button 505 for transmitting a confirmation instruction to the information processing apparatus 1 are displayed.

The input items 502 include a display area 502a in which constraint conditions are displayed in an editable manner, an add button 502b for adding constraint conditions, and a check box 502c for selecting whether or not to incorporate each constraint condition. included.

The client user can add a constraint by pressing the add button 502b and selecting a constraint (keyword, phrase, sentence) to be added from the original data displayed in the input item 501, for example.

[Processing flow]
Next, a procedure of processing by the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the information processing device 1 according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7, the reception unit 31 first receives original data from the client terminal 100 (step S101).

Subsequently, the generation unit 32 generates candidate data (with no constraint or with constraint) for summary data by inputting the original data into the model (step S102).

Subsequently, the presenting unit 34 presents the generated candidate data of the summarized data to the client user via the client terminal 100 (step S103).

Subsequently, the reception unit 31 determines whether a confirmation instruction or a constraint condition for the candidate data has been received from the client terminal 100 (step S104).

When the acceptance unit 31 accepts the confirmation instruction (step S104: Yes), the generating unit 32 confirms the previously presented candidate data as the confirmation data of the summary data (step S105), and ends the process.

On the other hand, when the accepting unit 31 accepts the constraint (step S104: No), the update unit 33 updates the constraint (step S106), and proceeds to step S102. In such a case, in step S102, the generation unit 32 generates summary data candidate data using the updated constraint conditions.
