    Abstract: There is provided an information processing device and an information processing method that enable the intention of a speech of a user to be estimated more accurately. The information processing device includes: a detection unit configured to detect a breakpoint of a speech of a user on the basis of a result of recognition that is to be obtained during the speech of the user; and an estimation unit configured to estimate an intention of the speech of the user on the basis of a result of semantic analysis of a divided speech sentence obtained by dividing a speech sentence at the detected breakpoint of the speech. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a speech dialogue system.

    Abstract: The present technology relates to a learning device, a learning method, a voice synthesis device, and a voice synthesis method configured so that information can be provided via voice allowing easy understanding of contents by a user as a speech destination. A learning device according to one embodiment of the present technology performs voice recognition of speech voice of a plurality of users, estimates statuses when a speech is made, and learns, on the basis of speech voice data, a voice recognition result, and the statuses when the speech is made, voice synthesis data to be used for generation of synthesized voice according to statuses upon voice synthesis. Moreover, a voice synthesis device estimates statuses, and uses the voice synthesis data to generate synthesized voice indicating the contents of predetermined text data and obtained according to the estimated statuses. The present technology can be applied to an agent device.

    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device including an output control unit that controls presentation of content to a user, and when a non-viewing/listening period is detected in a viewing and listening behavior of the user corresponding to the content, causes a summary of the content to be output. The output control unit determines an amount of information in the summary of the content, based on the length of the non-viewing/listening period. Moreover, provided is an information processing method including: by a processor, controlling presentation of content to a user; and when a non-viewing/listening period is detected in a viewing and listening behavior of the user corresponding to the content, causing a summary of the content to be output. The causing the summary of the content to be output further includes determining an amount of information in the summary of the content, based on the length of the non-viewing/listening period.

    Abstract: The present technology relates to an interaction control apparatus and a method that enable more appropriate interaction control to be performed. The interaction control apparatus includes an interaction progress controller that causes an utterance to be made in one or a plurality of understanding action request positions on the basis of utterance text that has been divided in the one or the plurality of understanding action request positions, the utterance inducing a user to perform an understanding action, and that controls a next utterance on the basis of a result of detecting the understanding action and the utterance text. The present technology is applicable to a speech interaction system.
