Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer system (human interface system) that interprets and converts input data (characters, documents, voices, images, etc.) and outputs the data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a computer system (human interface system) that interprets and converts input data (characters, documents, voices, images, etc.) given by humans and outputs the data is known. Does not necessarily have the 100% accuracy originally required.

For example, in a natural language system, since input data from a human often has ambiguity, generally one of a plurality of interpretations is converted and output. In the kana-kanji conversion system, which is one of the natural language systems, the kanji for reading "kikan" is appropriate for the "trachea" and "organs" when writing sentences related to the human body and health. "Time period" and "institution" are generally appropriate when targeting other fields.

In the English-Japanese machine translation system, "win
The translation of the word "dow" is suitable for "window" when targeting a sentence that talks about a computer, but otherwise "window" is suitable.

As described above, when there is ambiguity in which the output result cannot be uniquely determined for the input data, in the simple human interface system, a plurality of conversion candidates are selected based on the degree of importance determined in advance. First to middle
It is general to determine an output candidate, and prioritize and output the candidate with the highest frequency of use based on the usage history of the user (history of selection for a plurality of conversion candidates) up to that point.

Further, depending on the system, the object to be preferentially output, for example, the field or genre can be directly designated in advance, and the item conforming to the field or genre designated by the user can be preferentially output. Some have been done.

In a more sophisticated system, the field, genre, etc. targeted by the sentence being processed is estimated from the input contents up to that point, and the one that fits it is preferentially output. . The function of such a system is hereinafter referred to as "user adaptation". Various methods of adapting to such a user are known.

By providing such a user-adaptive function in the system, the result intended by the user can be easily obtained. However, the method adapted to the user is not necessarily the same as the result intended by the user at present under any of various known methods.

[0009]

As described above, in the conventional human interface system, it is possible to easily output the result intended by the user by using the function of user adaptation. However, not all the results are intended by the user. It wasn't something to do.

That is, since there is ambiguity in the input data or the result intended by the user, it is extremely difficult to always accurately determine the content of the user adaptation and implement the user adaptation. Therefore, conventionally, the output result determined by the function of user adaptation executed by the system has to be obtained as it is.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and a human interface system and a user adaptive control capable of arbitrarily adjusting a user adaptive situation and optimizing an output result by the user adaptive. The purpose is to provide a method.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a human interface system according to this embodiment. Here, a machine translation system will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the machine translation system according to this embodiment includes an input unit 100, an input control unit 150, a semantic analysis unit 200, a field determination unit 301, and a genre determination unit 30.
2, translation processing unit 303, user adaptation unit 400, user adaptation mode storage unit 450, user adaptation display unit 500, user adaptation modification instruction input unit 600, adaptation modification instruction analysis unit 65.
0, a field correction unit 701, a genre correction unit 702, and a user adaptation mode correction unit 710.
The user adaptation unit 400 is composed of a field storage unit 401, a genre storage unit 402, and a user adaptation control unit 410.

The input unit 100 is for inputting instructions from the user to the system and data such as sentences to be translated. Instructions from the user to the system are input by operating the keyboard or mouse. The text or the like to be translated may be input as a text file handled by a computer system or via another input device such as an optical character reader (OCR).

The input control unit 150 controls inputs from the input unit 100 and the user adaptive correction instruction input unit 600, and sends data / instructions etc. input from the input unit 100 to the semantic analysis unit 200. A user adaptive correction instruction (details will be described later) input from the user adaptive correction instruction input unit 600 is sent to the adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650.

The semantic analysis unit 200 analyzes the meaning and content of a sentence to be translated which is input through the input control unit 150. A method realized by a general machine translation system can be used for the analysis of the meaning and content of a sentence, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.
The semantic analysis unit 200 outputs the analysis result to the field determination unit 301 and the genre determination unit 302, in addition to the translation processing unit 303.

The field determination unit 301 inputs the analysis result of the semantic analysis unit 200, determines the field of the sentence being translated based on the words included in the sentence, and outputs the determination result to the user adaptation unit 400. To do.

The genre determination unit 302 is a semantic analysis unit 20.
The analysis result in 0 is input, the genre of the sentence being translated is determined based on the expression included in the sentence (including the document format, the sentence expression, the technical term, etc.), and the determination result is sent to the user adaptation unit 400. Output.

In the present embodiment, the target of user adaptation is specified by the combination of field and genre. One of the genres is "newspaper articles", but the content of the "newspaper articles" to be discussed, that is, the field is "economy"
There are several such as "computers". Therefore, by combining fields and genres, more accurate user adaptation becomes possible.

For the field determination by the field determination unit 301 and the genre determination by the genre determination unit 302, reference is made to the format of the input document, expressions in the text, technical terms used in the text, and the like.

For example, in the genre determination, if the heading "Claims" exists in the text, it can be almost certainly determined that the patent is a patent specification, and "Chapter 1""Second"
If the format is clear, such as chapter,
There is a high possibility that it will be a manual or report, and it is likely that it is a letter if it begins with an address and a greeting is followed, and if it is treated as a headline, it may be a newspaper article. It can be judged to be expensive.

In the field determination, a term dictionary for each specialized field is prepared (not shown), and by referring to this term dictionary, if there are many computer terms such as "file system" and "parallel program", for example. If there is a high possibility of being in the computer field and there are many economic terms such as “yen appreciation” and “cooperative intervention”, it can be determined that it is likely to be in the economic field.

The translation processing unit 303 refers to a translation dictionary (not shown) based on the analysis result of the semantic analysis unit 200, selects a translated word corresponding to each word in the sentence, and translates the translated sentence. To generate. At that time, the translation processing unit 303 executes translation processing according to the user adaptation setting contents (field, genre) managed by the user adaptation unit 400.

The user adaptation section 400 controls the user adaptation function in the present system, and includes the field storage section 401,
In addition to the genre storage unit 402, the user adaptation control unit 410
Contains.

The field storage unit 401 includes a user adaptive control unit 4
It is controlled by 10, and stores the data indicating the field of the sentence being translated, that is, the field targeted for user adaptation, which is determined by the field determination unit 301.

The genre storage unit 402 is controlled by the user adaptation control unit 410, and the genre determination unit 3
Data indicating the genre of the sentence being translated, which is determined by No. 02, that is, the genre targeted for user adaptation is stored.

The user adaptation control unit 410 is a field determination unit 3
01 and the determination result in the genre determination unit 302 are input, and the field storage unit 4 is selected according to the current user adaptation mode (described later) stored in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450.
01 and the contents of the genre storage unit 402 are updated.

The user adaptation mode storage unit 450 is for storing the user adaptation mode written by the user adaptation mode correction unit 710. In the user adaptation mode, the determination result outputs from the field determination unit 301 and the genre determination unit 302 are output to the field storage unit 40 corresponding to each.
1, data indicating the speed of writing to the genre storage unit 402, and whether or not user adaptation is activated (ON / OF
F) is included. Here, the speed represents a reaction degree of modifying the content of the user adaptation according to the input data, and the term “speed” means that the target of the user adaptation is immediately corrected according to the change of the content of the sentence to be translated. On the contrary, the fact that the speed is slow means that the target of user adaptation is corrected based on the content of many sentences without being affected by a slight change in the content of the text. The speed can be adjusted in any number of steps, but in this embodiment, the speed is adjusted in five steps.

The user adaptive display section 500 includes a field storage section 4
01, the contents of the genre storage unit 402, and the user adaptation mode storage unit 450 are displayed in real time on the screen of a display device (not shown).

The user adaptation correction instruction input unit 600 inputs a correction instruction from the user regarding the user adaptation situation and the adaptation method. User adaptive correction instruction input unit 6
00 displays a screen for inputting a user-adaptive correction instruction, and the user inputs the instruction content to the system on the display screen. A display example of a screen for inputting a user adaptive correction instruction will be described later.

The adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650 analyzes the content of the user adaptive correction instruction input through the input control unit 150, and outputs the analysis result to the field correction unit 701, genre correction unit 702, and user adaptation mode correction unit 710. To do. The user adaptation correction instruction includes a field correction instruction for instructing the correction of the field targeted for the user adaptation, a genre correction instruction for instructing the modification of the genre targeted for the user adaptation, a stop / restart / reset of the user adaptation, and a user adaptation. There is an adaptation method correction instruction for instructing the mode correction.

The field correction unit 701, when the analysis result of the adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650 is a field correction instruction,
The contents stored in the field storage unit 401 are changed based on the instruction contents.

When the analysis result of the adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650 is a genre correction instruction, the genre correction unit 702 determines the genre storage unit 402 based on the instruction content.
The contents stored in are changed.

When the analysis result of the adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650 is an adaptation method correction instruction, the user adaptation mode correction unit 710 changes the content stored in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450 based on the instruction content. To do.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the contents of the user adaptation mode stored in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450, which the user adaptation unit 400 of the machine translation system shown in FIG. 1 refers to. A mode indicating “adaptation” and “speed” is set as the user adaptation mode.

"Adaptation" sets whether or not user adaptation is performed, and takes a value of "ON" or "OFF". When the value of "adaptation" is "ON", user adaptation is executed, and when it is "OFF", user adaptation is not executed.

The "speed" sets a speed adapted to the user, and takes any of five values of speed, that is, "fast", "slightly fast", "standard", "slightly slow", and "slow". The field adaptation processing and the genre adaptation processing by the user adaptation control unit 410 are controlled according to which value of the "speed" takes (details will be described later).

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the contents of data (field storage unit 401, genre storage unit 402) in the user adaptation unit 400 of the machine translation system shown in FIG. The fields and genres are targets of user adaptation, and have current data and initial values, respectively. The initial value is given to the current data when the system is started, and in the example shown in FIG.
The processing is started by targeting the "manual" and "genre" of the field for user adaptation. This initial value can be changed according to the purpose of the system. After that, the content of the current data is changed by the field adaptation process and the genre adaptation process described later. FIG. 3 shows data when the field is set to “economy” and the genre is set to “newspaper article”. In addition, the field correction unit 7 as will be described later.
01, the current data is also updated by a direct correction instruction using the genre correction unit 702. When the reset process is performed, the contents of the initial value are updated regardless of the contents of the current data.

Next, the operation of the machine translation system according to this embodiment will be described. At the initial stage, the user adaptation mode stored in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450 is set to application “ON” and speed “standard”, and “computer” is stored in the field storage unit 401 of the user adaptation unit 400.
It is assumed that data indicating “manual” is set in the genre storage unit 402, respectively.

The data of the sentence to be translated input from the input unit 100 is given to the semantic analysis unit 200 via the input control unit 150. The semantic analysis unit 200 analyzes the meaning and content of the sentence to be translated, and outputs the analysis result to the translation processing unit 303.

The translation processing unit 303 generates and outputs a translated sentence for the input sentence according to the analysis result by the semantic analysis unit 200. At that time, the translation processing unit 303 uses the field storage unit 401 and the genre storage unit 4 of the user adaptation unit 400.
The translation of the field and genre set to 02 is selected with priority, and a translated sentence is generated. That is, the output result is determined by user adaptation.

On the other hand, the field determination unit 301 and the genre determination unit 302 change the target of user adaptation according to the sentence that is actually the target of translation so that appropriate user adaptation is performed. A field adaptation process and a genre adaptation process are executed for each.

First, the operation of the field adaptation processing in the field determination unit 301 and the user adaptation unit 400 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The field adaptation process is a process of storing in the field storage unit 401 data indicating a field to be subject to user adaptation.

The field determination unit 301 checks each of the words obtained by the analysis by the semantic analysis unit 200, one by one, to determine whether or not the word is in a specific field. The field determination unit 301 is provided with a term dictionary (not shown) for each field, and the words included in each field are registered.
The field determination unit 301 can identify the field corresponding to the word if the target word is registered by referring to the term dictionary. The field determination unit 301 notifies the user adaptation control unit 410 of the user adaptation unit 400 of data indicating the determined field. The user adaptation control unit 410 counts the number (term count) included in the text for each field in response to the notification from the field determination unit 301.

Here, one field X will be focused and described. As a result of determining the field for the word obtained from the meaning analysis section 200, if the field is a term of the field X, the field determination section 301 notifies the user adaptation control section 410 of this (step A1).

The user adaptation control unit 410 is the field determination unit 3
In response to the notification from 01, the term count Nb of the field X
The value of (X) is incremented by 1 (step A2). Then, the user adaptation control unit 410 checks whether or not the term count Nb (X) of the field X whose term count value has been updated is larger than the term count values of other fields. Term count N
If the value of b (X) is not the maximum, the process for the word in the field X ends.

On the other hand, when the value of the term count Nb (X) is the maximum (step A3), the user adaptive control section 410.
Compares the term count of a certain field having the second largest value (termed as the term count Nb (Y) of the field Y) (step A4).

As a result of this comparison, the term count Nb (X)
When the difference between the term count Nb (Y) and the term count Nb (Y) exceeds a constant reference value Tb (a value corresponding to the speed “standard” in the user adaptation mode), the user adaptation control unit 410 determines that the field storage unit 40
The data indicating the field targeted for the current user adaptation stored in 1 is rewritten to the data indicating the field X (step A5).

The user adaptation control unit 410 changes the reference value Tb according to the user adaptation mode stored in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450. That is, the speed of writing to the field storage unit 401 in the user adaptive mode is “standard”.
In the case of, the reference value Tb is used as it is, but in the case of “fast”, the user adaptation control unit 410 performs the field adaptation processing based on the reference value smaller than the reference value Tb. In this case, the contents of the field storage unit 401 are updated even when the difference between the maximum term count value and the second term count value is small. Conversely, the field storage unit 40 in the user adaptive mode
If the writing speed to 1 is “slow”, the user adaptive control unit 4
Reference numeral 10 performs field adaptation processing based on a reference value that is larger than the reference value Tb. In this case, unless the difference between the maximum term count value and the second term count value becomes large, the contents of the field storage unit 401 are not updated.

Next, the operation of the genre adaptation processing in the genre determination unit 302 and the user adaptation unit 400 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The genre adaptation process is a process of causing the genre storage unit 402 to store data indicating a field to be targeted for user adaptation.

The genre determination unit 302 is the semantic analysis unit 20.
For each expression obtained by the analysis with 0, it is checked one by one whether or not it is an expression of a specific genre. The genre determination unit 302 can specify the genre corresponding to the expression based on the format of the input document, the expression in the document, and the technical term used. Genre determination unit 302
Displays data indicating the determined genre in the user adaptation unit 40.
Notify the user adaptation control unit 410 of 0. The user adaptation control unit 410, in response to the notification from the genre determination unit 302, the number included in the sentence for each genre (expression count).
Is counted.

Here, description will be made focusing on one genre P. If the genre determination unit 302 has determined the genre for the expression obtained from the semantic analysis unit 200 and the expression is of the genre P, the user adaptation control unit 4
10 is notified (step B1).

The user adaptation control section 410 increments the value of the expression count Nj (P) of the genre P by one in response to the notification from the genre determination section 302 (step B2). Then, the user adaptation control unit 410 checks whether or not the expression count Nj (P) of the genre P whose expression count value is updated is larger than the expression count values of other genres.
If the value of the expression count Nj (P) is not the maximum, the processing relating to the expression of the genre P ends.

On the other hand, when the value of the term count Nj (P) is the maximum (step B3), the user adaptive control section 410.
Compares the expression count of a certain genre having the second largest value (expressed as the expression count Nj (Q) of genre Q) (step B4).

As a result of this comparison, the expression count Nj (P)
When the difference between the expression count Nj (P) and the expression count Nj (P) exceeds the constant reference value Tj, the user adaptation control unit 410 stores data indicating the current genre of the user adaptation, which is stored in the genre storage unit 402. Is rewritten to data indicating the genre P (step B5).

The user adaptation control unit 410 changes the reference value Tj according to the user adaptation mode stored in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450. That is, when the writing speed in the genre storage unit 402 in the user adaptation mode is “standard”, the reference value Tj is used as it is, but when the writing speed is “fast”, the user adaptation control unit 410 sets the value smaller than the reference value Tj. The genre adaptation process is performed based on the reference value. In this case, the content of the genre storage unit 402 is updated even when the difference between the maximum expression count value and the second expression count value is small. On the contrary, when the writing speed in the genre storage unit 402 in the user adaptive mode is “slow”,
The user adaptation control unit 410 performs the genre adaptation process based on a reference value that is larger than the reference value Tj. In this case, unless the difference between the maximum expression count value and the second expression count value becomes large, the genre storage unit 40
The contents of 2 are not updated.

FIG. 6 also shows the contents displayed by the user adaptive display unit 500 and the user adaptive correction instruction input unit 600. FIG. 6A shows a normal display state, and FIG. 6B shows a display state for inputting a user adaptive correction instruction.

The display contents mainly arranged in the upper part shown in FIG. 6A are displayed by the user adaptive display unit 500, and the "current data" of each of the fields and genres shown in FIG. 3 are displayed. They are the contents and the contents of the “speed” of the user adaptation mode shown in FIG. "Field" and "Genre"
"Change" buttons are provided on the right side of the display frame in which the contents of are displayed. The "change" button is used when the user directly changes the contents of the "field" or "genre".

The display contents mainly arranged in the lower portion shown in FIG. 6A are displayed by the user adaptation correction instruction input unit 600, and whether the user adaptation is performed, not performed, or reset. Adaptive selection button ("o
n ”,“ off ”,“ reset ”) and a speed instruction button (“ slow ”or“ fast ”) for instructing the speed of user adaptation.

As shown in FIG. 6, the user adaptation display section 500 displays the contents of "current data" for each field and genre and the contents of "speed" in the user adaptation mode.
The translation processing by the translation processing unit 303, the field adaptation processing by the field determination unit 301, and the genre adaptation processing by the genre determination unit 302 are executed in parallel with the display.

Therefore, as the translation process is executed, the field storage unit 40 is processed by the field adaptation process or the genre adaptation process.
1 or the content of the genre storage unit 402 is changed,
Since the display content is immediately changed, the user can easily understand the current situation of user adaptation.

On the other hand, by pressing the change button in FIG. 6A, the content of the field or genre can be directly selected and input. For example, a mouse is operated,
When the change button is pressed (clicked), the user adaptive correction instruction input unit 600, as shown in FIG.
A list of selectable contents of the field or genre corresponding to the change button is displayed. FIG. 6B shows a state in which a list of the fields (“computer”, “chemistry”, “economy” ...) Is displayed by pressing the change button corresponding to the field.

When one content is selected and instructed on this display screen, the field correction instruction is notified as a user adaptive correction instruction to the adaptive correction instruction analysis section 650 via the input control section 150, and further the field correction section 701. The instructed contents are notified. The field correction unit 701 includes a field storage unit 40.
Change the contents of 1 to the contents instructed to be corrected.

As for the genre, similarly to the case of the above-mentioned field, when the content is arbitrarily selected from the list display on the display screen, the adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650 is notified of the genre correction instruction, and the genre correction unit 702 is notified. The contents of the genre storage unit 402 are changed by.

When “off” is instructed by the adaptation selection button, the adaptation correction instruction analysis unit 650 is notified of the adaptation method correction instruction indicating the user adaptation stop, and further the user adaptation mode correction unit 710 is notified of the instruction content. To be done. The user adaptation mode correction unit 710 includes a user adaptation mode storage unit 45.
The value of “adaptation” of 0 is set to “OFF” to stop user adaptation. Similarly, when “on” is instructed by the adaptation selection button, the user adaptation mode correction unit 710 sets the value of “adaptation” to “ON” and restarts user adaptation.

When "reset" is instructed by the adaptive selection button, the adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650 is notified of the adaptive method correction instruction indicating the reset of the user adaptive data,
Further, the field correction unit 701 and the genre correction unit 702 are notified. The field correction unit 701 and the genre correction unit 702 are
The contents of the field storage unit 401 and the genre storage unit 402 are rewritten with the initial value contents.

When "speed" is instructed to the speed instruction button, the adaptive correction instruction analysis unit 650 is notified of an adaptation method correction instruction indicating a speed change of user adaptation data each time the instruction button is instructed, and the user adaptation mode correction unit is further instructed. The instruction content is notified to 710. The user adaptation mode correction unit 710 changes the value of “speed” in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450 to one faster (for example, “standard” to “slightly fast” or “slightly fast” to “fast”). . Conversely, when the speed instruction button “slow” is instructed, the user adaptive mode correction unit 710.
Sets the value of “speed” in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450 to 1
Change to one that is slower (for example, "Standard" to "Slow", "Slow" to "Slow").

Modified user adaptation mode storage unit 450
The user adaptation mode and the content of the data adaptation data of the user adaptation unit 400 are displayed in real time by the user adaptation display unit 500.

In this way, the user adaptation data stored in the field storage unit 401 and the genre storage unit 402 and the contents of the user adaptation mode stored in the user adaptation mode storage unit 450 are displayed in real time by the user adaptation display unit 500. Since it is displayed, it is possible to easily understand the situation in which the user is adapting.

Further, the user adaptation correction instruction can be input from the adaptation correction instruction analysis unit 650 by an instruction on the display screen as shown in FIG. 6, and the user adaptation can be arbitrarily stopped, restarted, or reset. Therefore, it is possible to arbitrarily control the function of user adaptation by referring to the situation of user adaptation displayed by the user adaptation display unit 500. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the change of the target of user adaptation according to the content of the text to be processed by instructing an arbitrary speed.

Further, not only the system side automatically changes the target (field, genre) of user adaptation according to the content of the sentence to be processed, but also on the display screen as shown in FIG. Since it can be arbitrarily changed at any time by the instruction, the user can apply the user's intention.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In the above-described embodiment, two fields of “field” and “genre” are shown as targets of user adaptation, but in addition, the target age group of the document (for example, for children, students, etc.), gender, etc. May be applied, and the number of objects is not limited.

Further, the contents of user adaptation are explained as being presented to the user by the display by the user adaptation display section 500, but in addition, voice, printed documents, etc.
Other presentation methods can also be used.

Although the machine translation system is used as the human interface system in the present embodiment, the user adaptation process is similarly performed in other systems such as the kana-kanji conversion system and the voice recognition system. You can That is, various modifications can be realized without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0079]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the function of presenting the situation where the system is adapted to the user in real time, the function of stopping / restarting / resetting the user adaptation, the function of controlling the speed thereof, By providing a function to change the content of user adaptation arbitrarily and executing the function as needed, the situation of user adaptation of the system can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the user's intention. , It becomes possible to operate more cooperatively. Therefore, it is possible to optimize the output result by user adaptation.
