According to one embodiment, a foreign language service assisting apparatus is provided with first and second acquisition units, a translation unit, a presentation unit and an accepting unit. The first acquisition unit acquires first information on a first article. The second acquisition unit acquires second information on second articles associated with the first article, and subsequent speech candidates expected to be spoken, based on the first information. The translation unit translates the first information, the second information, and the candidates. The presentation unit presents translation result. The accepting unit accepts selection associated with the first or second articles or the candidate.

According to an embodiment, a translation unit translates a first sentence in a first language into a sentence in a second language using parallel translations. A next utterance table includes first identification information distinguishing between a sentence in the first language and a sentence in the second language included in the parallel translation and includes second identification information identifying a sentence previously selected as the next utterance of the sentence indicated by the first identification information. An acquiring unit acquires next utterance candidates, which are sentences indicated by the second identification information associated with the first identification information of the first sentence. If the selected next utterance candidate is the first language, the translation unit translates the selected next utterance candidate into the second language. If the selected next utterance candidate is the second language, the translation unit translates the selected candidate into the first language.

In an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes: a converting unit; a selecting unit; a dividing unit; a generating unit; and a display processing unit. The converting unit recognizes a voice input from a user into a character string. The selecting unit selects characters from the character string according to designation of the user. The dividing unit converts the selected characters into phonetic characters and divides the phonetic characters into phonetic characters of sound units. The generating unit extracts similar character candidates corresponding to each of the divided phonetic characters of the sound units, from a similar character dictionary storing a plurality of phonetic characters of sound units similar in sound as the similar character candidates in association with each other, and generates correction character candidates for the selected characters. The display processing unit makes a display unit display the generated correction character candidates selectable by the user.

A response storage unit stores a response, a watching degree relative to a display unit, and an output form of the response to a speaker and the display unit. An extracting unit extracts a request from a speech recognition result. A response determining unit determines a response based on the extracted request. A direction detector detects a viewing direction of a user. A watching-degree determining unit determines a watching degree based on the viewing direction. An output controller obtains an output form corresponding to the response and the determined watching degree from the response storage unit, and output the response to the speaker and the display unit according to the obtained output form.
摘要:
An information filtering apparatus for providing articles to a user includes an article extraction section that retrieves articles from articles stored in an article storage section using a user-profile. An excerpt generating section generates excerpts of the retrieved article by calculating similarities between the retrieved articles and the user-profile to generate the excerpt including the user's necessary information. An abstract generating section combines excerpts to form an abstract. The user-profile for each user in the user-profile storage section is modified in accordance with user feedback.
