In the filing’s own words
An information processing device according to an embodiment includes: a detection unit ( 120) that detects an expression based on a feature amount extracted from a text, and character information including information of a character using a learning model learned in advance, the expression being included in the text and indicating the character likeness of the character; and a generation unit ( 140) that generates a different expression that is different from the expression and indicates the character likeness based on the expression detected by the detection unit and the character information, and presents the generated different expression, and the detection unit relearns the learning model according to a user's reaction to the different expression presented by the generation unit.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An information processing device, comprising: a central processing unit (CPU) configured to: learn a learning model; receive text data; extract, from the text data, line sentence data and one of stage direction data or descriptive part data; decompose the line sentence data into morphological sequences; extract a feature amount from the morphological sequences; detect a first expression based on; the learning model, the extracted feature amount, and character information that includes information of a plurality of characters, wherein the first expression is in the line sentence data, and the first expression indicates a respective character likeness of each of the plurality of characters; generate a second expression based on the first expression and the character information, wherein the second expression is associated with the respective character likeness of each of the plurality of characters, and the second expression is different from the first expression; present the second expression; and relearn the learning model based on a feedback from a user to the second expression.
