Sony patents system that suggests new tags using foundation models
Sony describes a tool that helps people label digital content like videos or articles. If a standard tag does not fit, the system uses a foundation model to suggest a new, specific tag for the user to approve.
In the filing’s own words
For example, an information processing apparatus that automatically adds a new tag to content of a new genre is provided. An information processing apparatus includes: an existing tag proposal unit that presents, to an annotator, an existing tag appropriate for content to which a tag is to be added from among existing tags; a new tag proposal unit that generates a new tag appropriate for content to which a tag is to be added on the basis of a foundation model and presents the new tag to the annotator in a case where the annotator does not select the existing tag presented by the existing tag proposal unit; and a related content confirmation unit that presents content related to the new tag to the annotator for confirmation.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An information processing apparatus comprising a new tag proposal unit that generates a new tag appropriate for content to which a tag is to be added on a basis of a foundation model and presents the new tag to an annotator.
