Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes an authentication dialogue control unit that controls a dialogue with a user and performs a voice authentication process based on a speech that is made by the user in the dialogue. The authentication dialogue control unit generates a challenge speech string including a hash seed word, outputs the challenge speech string as a challenge speech, and performs the voice authentication process on the basis of determination on whether a response speech string that is recognized based on a response speech that is given from the user in response to the output challenge speech includes a hash value word. The hash value word has a predetermined relationship with the hash seed word, where the predetermined relationship is defined by a word relation rule.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided that includes an output control unit that controls display of a table in which subjective evaluations that are made by a user on contents are collected, on the basis of an extracted intention of a speech of the user. The output control unit generates a comparison table in which the subjective evaluations are compared for each of contents related to a plurality of comparison targets, and displays the comparison table. Further, an information processing method is provided that includes controlling, by a processor, display of a table in which subjective evaluations that are made by a user on contents are collected, on the basis of an extracted intention of a speech of the user. The controlling includes generating a comparison table in which the subjective evaluations are compared for each of contents related to a plurality of comparison targets, and displaying the comparison table.
