Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes one or more hardware processors. The processors retrieve one or more texts matching a search query from a text group as a search target. The processors generate one or more candidates for a generation operation for a response to the search query using the search query and the retrieved texts. The processors determine, for each candidate, whether there is excess or deficiency in information included in a first response generated according to the candidate. The processors decide one of the candidates as the operation for generating the response based on a determination result. The processors generate a second response according to the decided operation.
Claims13
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more hardware processors configured to:
- retrieve one or more texts that match a search query from a text group that is a search target;
- generate one or more candidates for an operation for generating a response to the search query using the search query and the retrieved texts;
- determine, for each of the candidates, whether there is excess or deficiency in information included in a first response generated according to the candidate;
- decide one of the one or more candidates as the operation for generating the response based on a determination result;
- and
- generate a second response according to the decided operation,
- wherein:
- the one or more hardware processors determine whether there is excess or deficiency in the information included in the first response, using a result of comparison between one or more pieces of first topic information included in the first response and one or more pieces of second topic information extracted from the search query, and
- the one or more hardware processors determine that the information included in the first response is deficient when the second topic information is not included in the first topic information, and determine that the information included in the first response is excessive when topic information different from the second topic information is included in the first topic information.
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium including programmed instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute:
- retrieving one or more texts that match a search query from a text group that is a search target;
- generating one or more candidates for an operation for generating a response to the search query using the search query and the retrieved texts;
- determining, for each of the candidates, whether there is excess or deficiency in information included in a first response generated according to the candidate;
- deciding one of the one or more candidates as the operation for generating the response based on a determination result that is determined at the determining;
- and
- generating a second response according to a decided operation;
- wherein the determining comprises:
- determining whether there is excess or deficiency in the information included in the first response using a result of comparison between one or more pieces of first topic information included in the first response and one or more pieces of second topic information extracted from the search query, and
- determining that the information included in the first response is deficient when the second topic information is not included in the first topic information, and determining that the information included in the first response is excessive when topic information different from the second topic information is included in the first topic information.
An information processing method executed by a hardware processor of an information processing apparatus, the information processing method comprising:
- retrieving one or more texts that match a search query from a text group that is a search target;
- generating one or more candidates for an operation for generating a response to the search query using the search query and the retrieved texts;
- determining, for each of the candidates, whether there is excess or deficiency in information included in a first response generated according to the candidate;
- deciding one of the one or more candidates as the operation for generating the response based on a determination result that is determined at the determining;
- and
- generating a second response according to a decided operation;
- wherein the determining comprises:
- determining whether there is excess or deficiency in the information included in the first response using a result of comparison between one or more pieces of first topic information included in the first response and one or more pieces of second topic information extracted from the search query, and
- determining that the information included in the first response is deficient when the second topic information is not included in the first topic information, and determining that the information included in the first response is excessive when topic information different from the second topic information is included in the first topic information.
