Abstract
A word is input, along with a concept notation function that is a function for expressing what are described by that word, from a word set output unit to an optimal word string output unit. The optimal word string output unit computes a similarity between a word from the word set output unit and a registered word registered in a dictionary. The optimal word string output unit computes, even when a word not registered in the dictionary is input, a similarity between that word and a word registered in the dictionary.
Claims9
An information processing apparatus for determining analogousness between input words and registered words registered in a dictionary, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a sensor section configured to sense an object related to said input words, and generating a sensed output;
- a pre-processing section configured to receive said sensed output, and extract feature parameters of said object related to said input words from said sensed output;
- a plurality of discriminators configured to receive said feature parameters of said object, and process said feature parameters to generate notation functions using a plurality of discrimination functions;
- a selector configured to select a plurality of discriminated words representing said object;
- a word train generating section configured to receive said plurality of discriminated words along with said notation functions, said word train generating section operating to generate a set of word trains by using all permutations of said plurality of discriminated words;
- and
- word analogousness calculating means configured to calculate word analogousness between each word train of said set of word trains and a registered word train using said notation functions,
- wherein said feature parameters include parameters indicating color, shape, size, position, direction, and/or velocity of said object.
An information processing method for determining analogousness between input words and registered words registered in a dictionary, the information processing method comprising:
- sensing an object related to said input words, and generating a sensed output;
- receiving said sensed output and extracting feature parameters of said object related to said input words from said sensed output;
- processing said feature parameters to generate notation functions using a plurality of discrimination functions;
- selecting a plurality of discriminated words representing said object;
- generating a set of word trains by using all permutations of said plurality of discriminated words;
- and
- calculating word analogousness between each word train of said set of word trains and a registered word train using said notation functions.
A recording medium on which a program for determining analogousness between input words and registered words registered in a dictionary is recorded, the program comprising the executable instructions to:
- sense an object related to said input words, and generating a sensed output;
- receive said sensed output and extract feature parameters of said object related to said input words from said sensed output;
- process said feature parameters to generate notation functions using a plurality of discrimination functions;
- select a plurality of discriminated words representing said object;
- generate a set of word trains by using all permutations of said plurality of discriminated words;
- and
- calculate word analogousness between each word train of said set of word trains and a registered word train using said notation functions.
