PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a personal service support method, system, apparatus and computer program for assisting inquiries about user operations by use of dialog records of users' inquiries and agents' answers to the inquiries, the dialog records being obtained in a virtual world and edited in a reusable form. SOLUTION: The personal service support method comprises: a step that a dialog session management unit 111 connects list structured dialogs to create and record a dialog in a branch tree structure, based on the dialog having a list structure in which dialog units of the user and the agent are set as nodes with respect to a help request from a user in a virtual world stored in a dialog log DB 120 or a dialog log DB 220, and based on information on the nodes; and a step that a dialog session analysis unit 112 retrieves the dialog in the branch tree structure stored in the dialog log DB 120 or the dialog log DB 220 according to a predetermined condition requested by the user or the agent.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flexible and high-grade visualizing technique by retrieving the enabled combination of views from plural views and synthesizing the retrieved views. SOLUTION: A view managing part manages each visualizing expression together with various attributes such as a calculation procedure (such as totalization, keyword retrieval and display) capable of selecting that visualization, the name of that visualizing expression, the number of dimensions and the definition areas of respective dimensions. When a user defines a certain data set by inputting a table or retrieving a database, a view retrieving part determines the set of calculation procedures appliable to that definition of the data set from the definition and further determines the candidates of the view to visualize that calculation procedure. Besides, the view synthesizing part allocates views on the screen of a two-dimensional plane just as arranging tiles concerning the solution of view synthesization corresponding to the arrangement of data sets. Thus, the retrieved views are synthesized and the synthesized view is displayed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the selection accuracy of translated words in a machine translation mode without lowering the processing efficiency by using plural types of dictionaries including a context dictionary when a word that is not defined in a compound word dictionary is translated in a sentence. SOLUTION: Every input sentence is taken out at its head (110), and the compound words corresponding to a word string composing a single input sentence are retrieved from a compound word dictionary. When each of wards which are not corresponding to the compound words is translated (120), its translation is decided by a context dictionary and the translated word is obtained based on the translation (130). The translated word undergoes the translation result registering processing. Then it's checked whether an object word is stored in a translation result recording buffer as a header. If the object word is stored in the buffer, it's checked whether or not its translated word is stored in the buffer and all words which are not corresponding to the compound words are processed (140, 160). Then all words are translated (170). When it's decided that a full sentence is translated, the sentence is registered (180 to 195) after undergoing the retranslation effect evaluation processing.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide translation patterns for machine translation which a user can easily generate and efficiently retrieve. CONSTITUTION: A translation pattern 18 consists of an original language pattern 18A, a variable 18B obtained by substituting this original language pattern with one character, and an objective language pattern 18C as a translation corresponding to the original language pattern. The original language pattern includes a nest 19 where another original language pattern can be incorporated as a variable. A translation is generated based on the collation result between an input text and translation patterns. If there is no coincident translation patterns, the input text is translated by a general machine translation device based on grammar. Since the nest structure 19 is adopted, the user can easily generate many translation patterns based on a peculiar expression method, and customization is simplified. Further, indexes of a tree structure is generated to quickly perform the pattern collation.

PURPOSE: To provide a graph search method for discovering plural pieces of solutions of which the optimum characteristic is warranted, at a high speed. CONSTITUTION: The shortest cost between the arbitrary vertexs of a directed graph attached with the costs of the real values on the side between the vertexes and an end point t is calculated. Route development is executed sequentially toward the end point t the like a, a+1, while the low order is pruned according to set analysis conditions in accordance with the sum f(Xi) of the cumulation g(Xi) of the costs from the beginning point s and the shortest cost h(Xi) of the remaining routes with the partial routes from the beginning point s of the directed graph G. The high-order N-pieces of the optimum routes held at the point of the time when the search ends, are outputted. The shortest cost of the remaining routes is previously calculated and the development is performed for the plural routes in accordance with the analysis conditions while the cumulation of the cost from the beginning point is added thereto and, therefore, the plural characteristic and optimum characteristic of the solution are assured. In addition, the development is sequentially executed while the routes of the low-order cost values are pruned and, therefore, the high-speed characteristic of the processing is assured as well.

SOLUTION: This system is provided with a data knowledge request processing part 130 and a data knowledge request log 131 for acquiring the log of a work in an information processing, a knowledge retrieval processing part 221 for setting the respective works in the log acquired in the data knowledge request processing part 130 and the data knowledge request log 131 as nodes on a graph and preparing the graph for indicating the transition condition of the work by connecting the nodes by branches in the order of executing the work and a knowledge composition/display processing part 222 for visually presenting the graph prepared by the knowledge retrieval processing part 221.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To relate a large quantity of article data to each other with high efficiency and at a high speed by producing a similarity matrix from the similarity set among plural documents via the time restriction and transforming the similarity matrix into an adjacency matrix that shows the correlated between the documents. SOLUTION: A set of articles is shown in the sets that are ordered in a time sequence. A set of articles correlated to each other is defined by a directed graph (V, A), where V means a set of articles (nodes) with A meaning a set consisting of two pairs (i, j) of nodes (i, j: elements of V). As a set of nodes is ordered in time, the limit conditions that: For (di , dj ) EA and i

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rearrange a set of specific documents in various orders by performing operation between document sets of high order as sorting results and regarding as a retrieval result a document placed in high order through the operation. SOLUTION: A retrieval request input means 309 receives the instruction of an object to be retrieved from a user and finds a set of data and documents complying with a retrieval request for the object to be retrieved by a retrieval request processing means 310 by using indexes 306. The found retrieval result 314 is accepted as to the order of rearrangement of respective elements by an order selection part 311, and an element selection part 312 finds such different sequencing that a specific element is in the highest order from the retrieval result rearranged in the order. From sequences specified by a sequence composition part 313, a new sequence is composed by their sum and product, and a retrieval result display means 316 sequentially displays the elements of the documents sequenced to the highest order of the retrieval result in the composite order.
