• プロフィール

  「心の仕組みとは何か」という疑問に惹かれ，答えを求めてAI分野に足を踏み入れました．出身は言語学と認知科学なので、既存のアルゴリズムを最適化することなどにはあまり興味がありません．それよりも，既存のアプローチを組み合わせたりして，AI分野が始まって以来解決されていない問題，例えば常識的知識の獲得や言語理解、倫理的な意思決定の能力などに取り組むことに興味があります．自然言語処理の研究室に勤めているため，私のほとんどの学生は標準的なNLPテーマを選択しますが，メタファーやユーモアのような，現在の機械の限界を明らかにするようなチャレンジングなテーマを薦めています．

• Personality Types and Traits—Examining and Leveraging the Relationship between Different Personality Models for Mutual Prediction

  Dušan Radisavljević, Rafal Rzepka, Kenji Araki

  Applied Sciences 13 7 4506 - 4506 2023年04月02日 

  The popularity of social media services has led to an increase of personality-relevant data in online spaces. While the majority of people who use these services tend to express their personality through measures offered by the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), another personality model known as the Big Five has been a dominant paradigm in academic works that deal with personality research. In this paper, we seek to bridge the gap between the MBTI, Big Five and another personality model known as the Enneagram of Personality, with the goal of increasing the amount of resources for the Big Five model. We further explore the relationship that was previously reported between the MBTI types and certain Big Five traits as well as test for the presence of a similar relationship between Enneagram and Big Five measures. We propose a new method relying on psycholingusitc features selected based on their relationship with the MBTI model. This approach showed the best performance through our experiments and led to an increase of up to 3% in automatic personality recognition for Big Five traits on the per-trait level. Our detailed experimentation offers further insight into the nature of personality and into how well it translates between different personality models.

• Parameter-efficient feature-based transfer for paraphrase identification

  Xiaodong Liu, Rafal Rzepka, Kenji Araki

  Natural Language Engineering 1 - 31 2022年12月19日 

  Abstract There are many types of approaches for Paraphrase Identification (PI), an NLP task of determining whether a sentence pair has equivalent semantics. Traditional approaches mainly consist of unsupervised learning and feature engineering, which are computationally inexpensive. However, their task performance is moderate nowadays. To seek a method that can preserve the low computational costs of traditional approaches but yield better task performance, we take an investigation into neural network-based transfer learning approaches. We discover that by improving the usage of parameters efficiently for feature-based transfer, our research goal can be accomplished. Regarding the improvement, we propose a pre-trained task-specific architecture. The fixed parameters of the pre-trained architecture can be shared by multiple classifiers with small additional parameters. As a result, the computational cost left involving parameter update is only generated from classifier-tuning: the features output from the architecture combined with lexical overlap features are fed into a single classifier for tuning. Furthermore, the pre-trained task-specific architecture can be applied to natural language inference and semantic textual similarity tasks as well. Such technical novelty leads to slight consumption of computational and memory resources for each task and is also conducive to power-efficient continual learning. The experimental results show that our proposed method is competitive with adapter-BERT (a parameter-efficient fine-tuning approach) over some tasks while consuming only 16% trainable parameters and saving 69-96% time for parameter update.

  There is little research into designing artificial motivational agents. The end-goal of our studies is therefore to create a dialogue system that would motivate users to do their everyday tasks using natural language. In this paper, we present a method of distinguishing texts containing motivational advice from regular texts to sort out noise in training data for our dialogue system. We implemented a novel method of chaining two shallow networks together by utilizing the output results of the first network to determine the input for the second one. We achieved F-score of 0.94 and 0.97 with our proposed method. The contributions of this paper are threefold: first, we successfully identified 14 hand-crafted features that make a text motivational/advisory. Secondly, we were able to create a classifying algorithm that distinguishes motivational/advisory texts from regular ones. Finally, our proposed method can be applied to other text classification tasks.

  This paper summarizes several lexical methods for more comprehensive affect recognition in text using an example of typed utterances. We introduce a set of algorithms that are capable of recognizing emotions of user’s statements in order to achieve more effective and smoother human-machine conversation. Aspects often neglected by existing systems working with Japanese language, e.g. compound sentences, double negation sentences, modifiers as adverbs and emoticons were combined and their higher effectiveness in recognizing affect in more complicated sentences was confirmed through evaluation experiments. The results are introduced together with separate analysis of emoticons’ influence on emotional load. We also discuss importance of predicting human emotions not only in the field of human-computer interaction but also its meaning for developing ethical chatbots.

  One of the essential parts of second language curriculum is teaching vocabulary. Until now many existing techniques tried to facilitate word acquisition, but one method which has been paid less attention to is code-switching. In this paper, we present an experimental system for computer assisted vocabulary learning in context using a code-switching based method, focusing on teaching Japanese vocabulary to foreign language learners. First, we briefly introduce our Co-MIX method for vocabulary teaching systems using code-switching phenomenon to support vocabulary acquisition. Next, we show how we utilize incidental learning technique with graded readers to facilitate vocabulary learning. We present the systems architecture, underlying technologies and the initial evaluation of the system’s performance by using semantic differential scale. Finally, we discuss the evaluation results and compare them with our English vocabulary teaching system.

  In this paper we present a method for extracting IsA assertions (hyponymy relations), AtLocation assertions (informing of the location of an object or place), LocatedNear assertions (informing of neighboring locations), CreatedBy assertions (informing of the creator of an object) and MemberOf assertions (informing of group membership) automatically from Japanese Wikipedia XML dump files. We use the Hyponymy extraction tool v1.0, which analyses definition, category and hierarchy structures of Wikipedia articles to extract IsA assertions and produce information-rich taxonomy. From this taxonomy we extract additional information, in this case AtLocation, LocatedNear, CreatedBy and MemberOf types of assertions, using our original method. The presented experiments prove that both methods produce satisfactory results: we were able to acquire 5,866,680 IsA assertions with 96.0% reliability, 131,760 AtLocation assertion pairs with 93.5% reliability, 6,217 LocatedNear assertion pairs with 98.5% reliability, 270,230 CreatedBy assertion pairs with 78.5% reliability and 21,053 MemberOf assertions with 87.0% reliability. Our method surpassed the baseline system in terms of both precision and the number of acquired assertions.

  This paper presents a novel method of analyzing morphosemantic patterns in language to the detect cyberbullying, or frequently appearing harmful messages and entries that aim to humiliate other users. The morphosemantic patterns represent a novel concept, with the assumption that analyzed elements can be perceived as a combination of morphological information, such as parts of speech, and semantic information, such as semantic roles, categories, etc. The patterns are further automatically extracted from the data containing harmful entries (cyberbullying) and non-harmful entries found on the informal websites of Japanese high schools. These website data were prepared and standardized by the Human Rights Center in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The patterns extracted in this way are further applied to a document classification task using the provided data in 10-fold crossvalidation. The results indicate that morphosemantic sentence representation can be considered useful in the task of detecting the deceptive and provocative language used in cyberbullying.

  We present ML-Ask – the first Open Source Affect Analysis system for textual input in Japanese. ML-Ask analyses the contents of an input (e.g., a sentence) and annotates it with information regarding the contained general emotive expressions, specific emotional words, valence-activation dimensions of overall expressed affect, and particular emotion types expressed with their respective expressions. ML-Ask also incorporates the Contextual Valence Shifters model for handling negation in sentences to deal with grammatically expressible shifts in the conveyed valence. The system, designed to work mainly under Linux and MacOS, can be used for research on, or applying the techniques of Affect Analysis within the framework Japanese language. It can also be used as an experimental baseline for specific research in Affect Analysis, and as a practical tool for written contents annotation.

  Linguistics and Literature Studies 5 1 36 - 50 2017年01月 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  In this paper presents our research in automatic detection of emotionally loaded, or emotive sentences. We define the problem from a linguistic point of view assuming that emotive sentences stand out both lexically and grammatically. To verify this assumption we prepare a text classification experiment. In the experiment we apply language combinatorics approach to automatically extract emotive patterns from training sentences. the applied approach allows automatic extraction of not only widely used unigrams (tokens), or n-grams, but also more sophisticated patterns with disjointed elements. The results of experiments are explained with the use of means such as standard Precision, Recall and balanced F-score. The algorithm also provides a refined list of most frequent sophisticated patterns typical for both emotive and non-emotive context. The method reached results comparable to the state of the art, while the fact that it is fully automatic makes it more efficient and language independent.
• What People Say? – Web-based Casuistry for Artificial Morality Experiments

  It can be said that none of yet proposed methods for achieving artificial ethical reasoning is realistic, i.e. working outside very limited environments and scenarios. Whichever method one chooses, it will not work in various real world situations because it would be very cost-inefficient to provide ethical knowledge for every possible situation. We believe that an autonomous moral agent should utilize existing resources to make a decision or leave it to humans. Inverse reinforcement learning has gathered interest as a possible solution to acquiring knowledge of human values. However, there are two basic difficulties with using a human expert as the source of exemplary behavior. First derives from the fact that it is rather questionable if one person or a few people (even qualified ethicists) can be trusted as safe role models. We propose an approach which requires referring the maximal number of (currently avail-able) possible similar situations to be analyzed, and a majority decision-based “common sense” model is used. The second problem lies in human beings’ difficulties with living up to their words, surrendering to primal urges and cognitive biases, and in consequence, breaking moral rules. Our proposed solution is to use not behaviors but humans’ declared reactions to acts of others in order to help a machine determine what is positive and what is negative feedback. In this paper we discuss how the third person’s opinion could be utilized via means of machine reading and affect recognition to model a safe moral agent and discuss how universal values might be discovered. We also present a simple web-mining system that achieved 85% agreement in moral judgement with human subjects.

  In this paper, we present our progress so far in realization of project aimed to create a complex, modular humor-equipped conversational system. By complex, we mean that it should be able to: (1) detect users’ emotions, (2) detect users’ humorous behaviors and react to them properly, (3) generate humor according to users’ emotive states and (4) learn each user’s individual sense of humor. The research is conducted in Japanese. We chose puns as a relatively computable genre of humor. We describe a general outline of our system, as well as its four modules: humor detection module, emotion recognition module, response generator module and individualisation module. We present the algorithm of systems used in each module, along with some evaluation results.

  Our research goal is to generate new assertions suitable for introduction to the Japanese part of the ConceptNet common sense knowledge ontology. In this paper we present a method for extracting IsA assertions (hyponymy relations), AtLocation assertions (informing of the location of an object or place), LocatedNear assertions (informing of neighboring locations) and CreatedBy assertions (informing of the creator of an object) automatically from Japanese Wikipedia XML dump files. We use the Hyponymy extraction tool v1.0, which analyzes definition, category and hierarchy structures of Wikipedia articles to extract IsA assertions and produce an information-rich taxonomy. From this taxonomy we extract additional information, in this case AtLocation, LocatedNear and CreatedBy types of assertions, using our original method. The presented experiments prove that we achieved our research goal on a large scale: both methods produce satisfactory results, and we were able to acquire 5,866,680 IsA assertions with 96.0% reliability, 131,760 AtLocation assertion pairs with 93.5% reliability, 6217 LocatedNear assertion pairs with 98.5% reliability and 270,230 CreatedBy assertion pairs with 78.5% reliability. Our method surpassed the baseline system in terms of both precision and the number of acquired assertions. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
• Expansion of medical vocabularies using distributional semantics on Japanese patient blogs

  Magnus Ahltorp, Maria Skeppstedt, Shiho Kitajima, Aron Henriksson, Rafal Rzepka, Kenji Araki

  JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL SEMANTICS 7 58 2016年09月 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  Background: Research on medical vocabulary expansion from large corpora has primarily been conducted using text written in English or similar languages, due to a limited availability of large biomedical corpora in most languages. Medical vocabularies are, however, essential also for text mining from corpora written in other languages than English and belonging to a variety of medical genres. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate medical vocabulary expansion using a corpus very different from those previously used, in terms of grammar and orthographics, as well as in terms of text genre. This was carried out by applying a method based on distributional semantics to the task of extracting medical vocabulary terms from a large corpus of Japanese patient blogs. Methods: Distributional properties of terms were modelled with random indexing, followed by agglomerative hierarchical clustering of 3x100 seed terms from existing vocabularies, belonging to three semantic categories: Medical Finding, Pharmaceutical Drug and Body Part. By automatically extracting unknown terms close to the centroids of the created clusters, candidates for new terms to include in the vocabulary were suggested. The method was evaluated for its ability to retrieve the remaining n terms in existing medical vocabularies. Results: Removing case particles and using a context window size of 1 + 1 was a successful strategy for Medical Finding and Pharmaceutical Drug, while retaining case particles and using a window size of 8 + 8 was better for Body Part. For a 10n long candidate list, the use of different cluster sizes affected the result for Pharmaceutical Drug, while the effect was only marginal for the other two categories. For a list of top n candidates for Body Part, however, clusters with a size of up to two terms were slightly more useful than larger clusters. For Pharmaceutical Drug, the best settings resulted in a recall of 25 % for a candidate list of top n terms and a recall of 68 % for top 10n. For a candidate list of top 10n candidates, the second best results were obtained for Medical Finding: a recall of 58 %, compared to 46 % for Body Part. Only taking the top n candidates into account, however, resulted in a recall of 23 % for Body Part, compared to 16 % for Medical Finding. Conclusions: Different settings for corpus pre-processing, window sizes and cluster sizes were suitable for different semantic categories and for different lengths of candidate lists, showing the need to adapt parameters, not only to the language and text genre used, but also to the semantic category for which the vocabulary is to be expanded. The results show, however, that the investigated choices for pre-processing and parameter settings were successful, and that a Japanese blog corpus, which in many ways differs from those used in previous studies, can be a useful resource for medical vocabulary expansion.

• A System for English Vocabulary Acquisition based on Code-Switching

  Michal Mazur, Krzysztof Karolczak, Rafal Rzepka, Kenji Araki

  International Journal of Distance Education Technologies 14 3 52 - 75 2016年07月 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  Vocabulary plays an important part in second language learning and there are many existing techniques to facilitate word acquisition. One of these methods is code-switching, or mixing the vocabulary of two languages in one sentence. In this paper the authors propose an experimental system for computer-assisted English vocabulary learning in context using a code-switching based approach for Japanese learners. First they introduce the CO-MIX system, an English vocabulary teaching system that uses code-switching for vocabulary acquisition. Next, they show how they utilize incidental learning techniques with graded readers to increase language proficiency. The authors present the system architecture, underlying technologies, and evaluate the system's performance through user interaction with both a baseline and the proposed system by using a semantic differential scale. They also perform separate factor analysis of participants' attitudes for both systems, an analysis of users' mistakes and compare users' language tests scores. Finally, the authors discuss the evaluation results and further development of this technology.

  We developed a supporting solution for “cyberbullying” prevention based on recent discoveries in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing. Cyberbullying, defined as using the Internet to humiliate and slander other people has become a serious problem. In Japan members of the Parent–Teacher Association manually perform Web monitoring to stop cyberbullying activities. Unfortunately, reading through the whole Web manually is an impossible task. Although the complexity of cyberbullying makes it a problem unsolvable solely with the help of technology, we found that technology could make cyberbullying prevention more efficient. We developed a novel method of automatic detection of cyberbullying entries on the Internet. In the method we use seed words from three categories to calculate a semantic orientation score and then maximize the relevance of categories. The proposed method outperformed baseline settings in both laboratory and real world conditions. The developed system was deployed and tested in practice. After a year of testing we noticed a greater than 30 percent-point-drop in its performance. We hypothesize on the reasons for the drop. To regain the lost performance and retain it in the future we propose additional improvements including automatic acquisition and filtering of seed words. Experimentally selected optimal improvements regained much of the lost performance.

  In this paper we propose a method of automatic distinction between two types of formally identical expressions in Japanese: similes and " metonymical comparisosn", i. e. literal comparisons that include metonymic relations between elements. Expression like "kujira no you na chiisai me" can be translated into English as "eyes small as whale's", while in Japanese, due to the lack of possessive case, it can be misunderstood as "eyes small as a whale". The reason behind this is the presence of metonymic relation between components of such expressions. In the abovegiven example the word "whale" is a metonymy and represents "whale's eye". This is naturally understandable for humans, although formally difficult to detect by automatic algorithms, as both types of expressions (similes and metonymical comparisons) realize the same template. In this work we present a system able to distinguish between these two types of expressions. The system takes a Japanese expression as input and uses the Internet to check possessive relations between its elements. We propose a method of calculating a score based on co-occurrence of source and target pairs in Google (e. g. "whale's eye"). Evaluation experiment showed that the system distinguishes between similes and metonimical comparisons with the accuracy of 74 %. We discuss the results and give some ideas for the future.

  This chapter introduces an approach and methods for creating a system that refers to human experiences and thoughts about these experiences in order to ethically evaluate other parties', and in a long run, its own actions. It is shown how applying text mining techniques can enrich machine's knowledge about the real world and how this knowledge could be helpful in the difficult realm of moral relativity. Possibilities of simulating empathy and applying proposed methods to various approaches are introduced together with discussion on the possibility of applying growing knowledge base to artificial agents for particular purposes, from simple housework robots to moral advisors, which could refer to millions of different experiences had by people in various cultures. The experimental results show efficiency improvements when compared to previous research and also discuss the problems with fair evaluation of moral and immoral acts.

  Our methods for realizing a moral artificial agent assume that the wisdom of crowds can equip a machine with the enormous number of experiences that are the source of its ethical reasoning. Every second, people with different cultural, religious or social backgrounds share their personal experiences about multitudes of human acts. We propose that a machine therapist capable of analyzing thousands of such cases should be more convincing and effective talking to a patient, instead of analyzing single keywords. In this chapter, we introduce this vision and several techniques already implemented in an algorithm for generating empathic machine reactions based on emotional and social consequences. We show the roles that Bentham’s Felicific Calculus, Kohlberg’s Theory of Stages of Moral Development and McDougall’s classification of instincts play in the agent’s knowledge acquisition, and we describe the accuracy of already working parts. Modules and lexicons of phrases based on these theories enable a medical machine to gather information on how patients typically feel when certain events happen, and what could happen before and after actions. Such empathy is important for understanding the actions of other people, and for learning new skills by imitation. We also discuss why this bottom-up approach should be accompanied by a top-down utility calculation to ensure the best outcome for a particular user, and what ethical dilemmas an advanced artificial therapist could cause.

  This paper presents a method of acquiring IsA assertions (hyponymy relations), AtLocation assertions (informing of location of objects) and LocatedNear assertions (informing of neighboring locations) automatically from Japanese Wikipedia XML dump files. To extract IsA assertions, we use the Hyponymy extraction tool v1.0, which analyses definition, category and hierarchy structures of Wikipedia articles. The tool also produces information-rich taxonomy from which, using our original method, we can extract additional information, in this case AtLocation and LocatedNear type of assertions. Experiments showed that both methods produce positive results: we were able to acquire 5,866,680 IsA assertions with 99.0% reliability, 131,760 AtLocation assertion pairs with 93.0% reliability and 6,217 LocatedNear assertion pairs with 99.0% reliability. Our method exceeded the baseline system considering both precision and the number of acquired assertions.

  Japanese emoticons are widely used to express users' feelings and intentions in social media, blogs and instant messages. Japanese smartphone keypads have a feature that shows a list of emoticons, enabling users to insert emoticons simply by touching them. However, this list of emoticons contains more than 200, which is difficult to choose from, so a method to reorder the list and recommend appropriate emoticons to users is necessary. This paper proposes an emoticon recommendation method based on the emotive statements of users and their past selections of emoticons. The system is comprised of an affect analysis system and an original emoticon database: a table of 59 emoticons numerically categorized by 10 emotion types. The authors' experiments showed that 73.0% of chosen emoticons were among the top five recommended by the system, which is an improvement of 43.5% over the method used in current smartphones, which is based only on users' past emoticon selections.

  This paper presents our research on automatic annotation of a five-billion-word corpus of Japanese blogs with information on affect and sentiment. We first perform a study in emotion blog corpora to discover that there has been no large scale emotion corpus available for the Japanese language. We choose the largest blog corpus for the language and annotate it with the use of two systems for affect analysis: ML-Ask for word- and sentence-level affect analysis and CAO for detailed analysis of emoticons. The annotated information includes affective features like sentence subjectivity (emotive/non-emotive) or emotion classes (joy, sadness, etc.), useful in affect analysis. The annotations are also generalized on a two-dimensional model of affect to obtain information on sentence valence (positive/negative), useful in sentiment analysis. The annotations are evaluated in several ways. Firstly, on a test set of a thousand sentences extracted randomly and evaluated by over forty respondents. Secondly, the statistics of annotations are compared to other existing emotion blog corpora. Finally, the corpus is applied in several tasks, such as generation of emotion object ontology or retrieval of emotional and moral consequences of actions. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

  This paper presents our research in detection of emotive (emotionally loaded) sentences. The task is defined as a text classification problem with an assumption that emotive sentences stand out both lexically and grammatically. The assumption is verified experimentally. The experiment is based on n-grams as well as more sophisticated patterns with disjointed elements. To deal with the sophisticated patterns a novel language modelling algorithm based on the idea of language combinatorics is applied. The results of experiments are explained with the standard means of Precision, Recall and balanced F-score. The algorithm also provides a refined list of most frequent sophisticated patterns typical for both emotive and non-emotive context. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

  This paper presents research in Contextual Affect Analysis (CAA) for the need of future application in intelligent agents, such as conversational agents or artificial tutors. The authors propose a new term, Computational Fronesis (CF), to embrace the tasks included in CAA applied to development of conversational agents such as artificial tutors. In tutor-student discourse it is crucial that the artificial tutor was able not only to detect user/student emotions, but also to verify toward whom they were directed and whether they were appropriate for the context of the conversation. Therefore, as the first task in CF the authors focus on verification of contextual appropriateness of emotions. They performed some of the first experiments in this task for the Japanese language and discuss future directions in development and implications of Computational Fronesis.Copyright © 2013, IGI Global.

  In this paper we introduce our ideas on how experiences from real situations could be processed to decrease what Solomonoff called "Conceptual Jump Size". We introduce applications based on common-sense knowledge showing that vast corpora are able to automatically confirm the validity of the output, and also replace a "trainer", which could lead to decreasing human influence and speeding up the process of finding solutions not provided by such a "trainer" or by real world descriptions. Following this idea, we also suggest a shift toward combining natural languages with programming languages to smoothen transitions between layers of Solomonoff's "Concept net" leading from primitive concepts to a problem solution.
• Performance Improvement of Drug Effects Extraction System from Japanese Blogs

  Information disclosed to the public by patients is very important for people who are suffering from same illness because such information can be a source of knowledge and encouragement. Our aim is to make a system that extracts, organizes and visually represents information from patients' blogs. As the first step, the purpose of this paper is to extract descriptions of the effects caused by taking drugs as a triplet of expressions - drug name, object of change, and its effect - from illness survival blogs. However, conventional extraction methods are not suitable since these blogs are written in free natural language. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to extract the triplets using specific clue words and parsing the results. An evaluation experiment confirmed that medication usage information can be extracted with high accuracy using our proposed method, in comparison to existing methods. Moreover, recall was improved by combining our proposed method and a baseline system.
• Improving search query matching for electronic TV program guide data extraction

  Proceedings - 2013 IEEE 7th International Conference on Semantic Computing, ICSC 2013 146 - 149 2013年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  This paper describes a system for searching the Web-based Japanese TV program guide. The system features using morphological parsing and part-of-speech analysis to locate words with nominal and attributive semantic features in the query. Such words are matched mandatorily when searching the TV program guide text, while other words are matched optionally. Moreover, certain words and morphemes are removed from the query as they are considered to have little semantic value. The system checks every query against a stop list of such words and morphemes. Other processing methods, e.g. reversing the search phrase word order and allowing zero or more words between the search target words, are also utilized. The present paper uses TV guide search examples to demonstrate how the proposed method can improve Japanese TV program data search results. The paper also contains a few ideas about ways the method could be used for other languages. © 2013 IEEE.
• Emoticon Recommendation for Japanese Computer-Mediated Communication

  2013 IEEE SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SEMANTIC COMPUTING (ICSC 2013) 25 - 31 2013年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  This paper describes the development of an emoticon recommendation system based on emoticons numerically categorized by emotion. The emoticon recommendation system aims to help users express their feelings in computer-mediated communication by recommending emoticons appropriate to user input. In order to develop this system, the original emoticon database, a table of emoticons with the points expressed from each of 10 distinctive emotions, was developed. An evaluation experiment showed that 71.3% of user-selected emoticons were among the top 10 emoticons recommended by the proposed system. Moreover, we compared the proposed system to the current system used in iPhone by adopting a semantic differential (SD) scale of 1-7. The results showed that the proposed system scored higher than the current system by 1.05 points in ease of choice, 0.55 points in accuracy, and 0.55 points in specificity. We plan to make our proposed method open source, so that any developer can build in their own interfaces and enhance their own input methods using these emoticon recommendation systems.
• Possible usage of sentiment analysis for calculating vectors of felific calculus

  Proceedings - IEEE 13th International Conference on Data Mining Workshops, ICDMW 2013 967 - 970 2013年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  In this paper we introduce an algorithm for affective reasoning based on Bent ham's Felific Calculus known also as the hedonic calculus. Knowledge recquired for the task is retrived from a blog corpus by means of sentiment analysis on sentences containing an action or state input. This approach allows a machine to gather information on how usually other people feel when something happens, why people did it and what could happen after the act. Such knowledge is important for understanding actions of others, and for acquiring emphatic skills by a machine. In addition to emotion categorization of Nakamura, we introduce two lexicons based on McDougall's instinct classification and Kohlbergian stages of moral development, then show some basic efficiency of the retrieved knowledge. © 2013 IEEE.

• Affect analysis in context of characters in narratives

  EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS 40 1 168 - 176 2013年01月 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  This paper presents our research in text-based affect analysis (AA) of narratives. AA represents a task of estimating or recognizing emotions elicited by a certain semiotic modality. In text-based AA the modality in focus is the textual representation of language. In this research we study particularly one type of language realization, namely narratives (e.g., stories, fairy tales, etc.). Affect analysis within the context of narratives is a challenging task because narratives are created of different kinds of sentences (descriptions, dialogs, etc.). Moreover, different characters become subjects of different emotional expressions in different parts of narratives. In this research we address the problem of person/character related affect recognition in narratives. We propose a method for emotion subject extraction from a sentence based on analysis of anaphoric expressions and compare two methods for affect analysis. We evaluate the system and discuss its possible future improvements. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  In this paper we describe a phonetic classification of Japanese puns (dajare). Basing on real life examples gathered from available sources (books, Internet), we divided Japanese puns into 12 groups with numerous subgroups, according to phonetic changes that occur within them. This classification was prepared for the NLP purpose, i.e. to be used in humor processing. Its usefulness was shown in a research project, aimed at constructing a humor-equipped conversational system for Japanese.
• Data filtering in humor generation: Comparative analysis of hit rate and co-occurrence rankings as a method to choose usable pun candidates

  Pawel Dybala, Rafal Rzepka, Kenji Araki, Kohichi Sayama

  ACM International Conference Proceeding Series 2587 - 2590 2012年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  In this paper we propose a method of filtering excessive amount of textual data acquired from the Internet. In our research on pun generation in Japanese we experienced problems with extensively long data processing time, caused by the amount of phonetic candidates generated (i.e. phrases that can be used to generate actual puns) by our system. Simple, naive approach in which we take into considerations only phrases with the highest occurrence in the Internet, can effect in deletion of those candidates that are actually usable. Thus, we propose a data filtering method in which we compare two Internet-based rankings: a co-occurrence ranking and a hit rate ranking, and select only candidates which occupy the same or similar positions in these rankings. In this work we analyze the effects of such data reduction, considering 1 cases: when the candidates are on exactly the same positions in both rankings, and when their positions differ by 1, 2, 3 and 4. The analysis is conducted on data acquired by comparing pun candidates generated by the system (and filtered with our method) with phrases that were actually used in puns created by humans. The results show that the proposed method can be used to filter excessive amounts of textual data acquired from the Internet. © 2012 ACM.

  Emoticons are string of symbols representing body language in text-based communication. For a long time they have been considered as unnatural language entities. This chapter argues that, in over 40-year-long history of text-based communication, emoticons have gained a status of an indispensable means of support for text-based messages. This makes them fully a part of Natural Language Processing. The fact the emoticons have been considered as unnatural language expressions has two causes. Firstly, emoticons represent body language, which by definition is nonverbal. Secondly, there has been a lack of sufficient methods for the analysis of emoticons. Emoticons represent a multimodal (bimodal in particular) type of information. Although they are embedded in lexical form, they convey non-linguistic information. To prove this argument the authors propose that the analysis of emoticons was based on a theory designed for the analysis of body language. In particular, the authors apply the theory of kinesics to develop a state of the art system for extraction and analysis of kaomoji, Japanese emoticons. The system performance is verified in comparison with other emoticon analysis systems. Experiments showed that the presented approach provides nearly ideal results in different aspects of emoticon analysis, thus proving that emoticons possess features of multimodal expressions. © 2012, IGI Global.

  This paper presents YACIS, a new fully annotated large scale corpus of Japanese language. The corpus is based on blog entries from Ameba blog service. The original structure (blog post and comments) is preserved, thanks to which semantic relations between posts and comments are maintained. The corpus is annotated with syntactic (POS, dependency parsing, etc.) and affective (emotive expressions, emoticons, valence, etc.) information. The annotations are evaluated in a survey on over forty respondents. The corpus is also compared to other existing corpora, both large scale and emotion related.

  In our previous work we proposed an idea of a system able to generate humorous metaphor misunderstanding during conversations with users, employing the mechanism of salience imbalance. However, according to existing research in the field of cognitive science, lexical salience imbalance might not be enough to constitute humorous metaphors. Another important factor in this process can be emotive salience imbalance, i.e. emotional shifts, which occur within metaphorical expressions. In this paper we propose how to employ this mechanism in our system, by implementing an emotion from text detector.

  In this paper, we describe the effectiveness of utterance generation using causal knowledge for a dialogue system. Recently, there has been a variety of research on non-task-oriented dialogue systems however, an effective approach has not yet been developed. One of the most important reasons for this is that non-task-oriented dialogue systems lack common sense knowledge, which is not in their databases. As the first step towards solving this problem, we concentrated on causal knowledge containing reasons and effects, which can provide unwritten meanings for utterance understanding and generating modules. In this paper we investigated how an utterance generated with knowledge related to user input can improve an existing conversational system. Experiment results show that utterance generation using causal knowledge can improve a conversational system.

  Augmented Reality (AR) applications have become widespread with the continued miniaturization of technology. With the increasing use of smart phones, which often provide increased processing power, enhanced and open software platforms, Augmented Reality has become instrumental in the way we perceive our surroundings and the information that it carries. Augmented Reality has also become a welcome visualization tool for many fields, not restricted to Human-Computer Interaction. In this paper we present a novel approach for building interactive interfaces using Augmented Reality and we give an example how one can use our framework for creating games to collect common sense knowledge from users. We present a software framework for ubiquitous Augmented Reality enhancement for human-computer interaction called UIAR (User Interface through AR). Our framework improves on four areas in Augmented Reality development that we currently see lacking. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  In this paper we introduce three methods for automatic generality evaluation of commonsense statements candidates generated for Open Mind Common Sense (OMCS), which is the basis of Concept Net, a commonsense knowledge base. By using sister terms from Japanese Word Net, our system generates new statements which are automatically evaluated by using WWW co-occurrences and hit number retrieved by a Web search engine. These values are used in three generality judgment methods we propose. Evaluation experiments show that the best of them was "exact match ratio" which achieved accuracy of 62.6% when evaluating general sentences and "co-occurrences in snippets" method scored highest with 48.6% when judging unnatural phrases. Compared to the data without noise elimination, the "exact match ratio" achieved 38.2 points increase in accuracy.

  A "sentence pattern" in modern Natural Language Processing is often considered as asubsequent string of words (n-grams). However, in many branches of linguistics, like Pragmaticsor Corpus Linguistics, it has been noticed that simple n-gram patterns are not sufficient to revealthe whole sophistication of grammar patterns. We present a language independent architecturefor extracting from sentences more sophisticated patterns than n-grams. In this architecture a"sentence pattern" is considered as n-element ordered combination of sentence elements.Experiments showed that the method extracts significantly more frequent patterns than the usualn-gram approach.

  The evaluation of subjective aspects of HCI, such as human-likeness, likeability or users' emotions towards computers is still quite a neglected issue, especially in the field of non-task oriented conversational systems (chatterbots). In this paper we try to bridge this gap by proposing a new methodology of evaluation. The methods presented were tested in our research on humor-equipped chatterbots. We describe them in details, discuss their drawbacks and usability. In one of the presented methods we used an emotiveness analysis system, which itself can be considered an AI tool, as it was used to detect users' emotions towards conversational systems, and to perform their automatic evaluation. We also propose some methods that we have not used yet, which, however, seem applicable in this field, such as brain scanning techniques. Finally, we give some ideas that should be addressed in the future.
• An automatic evaluation method for conversational agents based on Affect-as-Information Theory (特集 感情)

  This paper presents a method for automatic evaluation of conversational agents. The method consists of several steps. First, an affect analysis system is used to detect users' general emotional engagement in the conversation and classify their specific emotional states. Next, we interpret this data with the use of reasoning based on Affect-as-Information Theory to obtain information about users' general attitudes to the conversational agent and its performance. The affect analysis system was also enhanced with a procedure for analysis of Contextual Valence Shifters to help determine the semantic orientation of emotive expressions. The method is used as a background procedure during users' conversations with two Japanese-speaking conversational agents. To verify the usability of the method, the users' attitudes to the conversational agents determined automatically during the conversations were compared to the results of a questionnaire taken after the conversations. The results provided by the system revealed similar tendencies to the questionnaire. Therefore we can say that the method is applicable as a means of evaluation for Japanese-speaking conversational agents.
• Contextual affect analysis: A system for verification of emotion appropriateness supported with Contextual Valence Shifters

  International Journal of Biometrics 2 2 134 - 154 2010年02月 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  This paper presents a novel method for estimating speaker's affective states based on two contextual features: valence shifters and appropriateness. Firstly, a system for affect analysis is used to recognise specific types of emotions. We improve the baseline system with the analysis of Contextual Valence Shifters (CVS), which determine the semantic orientation of emotive expressions. Secondly, a web mining technique is used to verify the appropriateness of the recognised emotions for the particular context. Verification of contextual appropriateness of emotions is the next step towards implementation of Emotional Intelligence Framework in machines. The proposed method is evaluated using two conversational agents. Copyright © 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

  International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 1 3 155 - 163 DLINE 2010年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  We begin this paper by putting forward the topic of human conscience as a metaphysical experience. We present our ongoing research on moral reasoning categories and make first attempts to verify their usefulness in creating an agent with a dynamic algorithm for moral reasoning. Our approach assumes creating such an agent basing on two factors, the idea of wisdom of web-crowd and emotion-buttressed reasoning. We present a novel approach to the idea of ethics. Instead of the usual non-cognitive one we propose a model with computational structure and discuss applicability of this approach. Finally, we present some of the first results of a preliminary experiment performed to prove our approach.

  One of the burning problems lately in Japan has been cyber-bullying, or slandering and bullying people online. The problem has been especially noticed on unofficial Web sites of Japanese schools. Volunteers consisting of school personnel and PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) members have started Online Patrol to spot malicious contents within Web forums and blogs. In practise, Online Patrol assumes reading through the whole Web contents, which is a task difficult to perform manually. With this paper we introduce a research intended to help PTA members perform Online Patrol more efficiently. We aim to develop a set of tools that can automatically detect malicious entries and report them to PTA members. First, we collected cyber-bullying data from unofficial school Web sites. Then we performed analysis of this data in two ways. Firstly, we analysed the entries with a multifaceted affect analysis system in order to find distinctive features for cyber-bullying and apply them to a machine learning classifier. Secondly, we applied a SVM based machine learning method to train a classifier for detection of cyber-bullying. The system was able to classify cyber-bullying entries with 88.2% of balanced F-score.

After showing the results of the evaluation experiments, we introduce an implementation of an affect analysis algorithm and pun generator to increase users' satisfaction level.
• Forgetful and emotional: recent progress in development of dynamic memory management system for conversational agents

  Thinking of the ways to improve naturalness and adequacy of utterances in conversational agents, the authors propose a dynamic database management system. The system borrows some features of the forgetting mechanisms in humans. The core of the system, forgetting and recalling algorithms, depend on the frequency of usage of context units and their emotive values derived from evaluative reasoning about both sides of interaction - the agent and the user.
• Chain of Events: Multi-stage Approach to Humor and Emotions in HCI

  Proceedings of the Linguistic And Cognitive Approaches To Dialog Agents Symposium 53 - 58 2010年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  Humor and emotions are strongly related to each other. Both these topics are recently gaining more and more attention from HCI researchers. Some of existing research projects employ humor generating engines in conversational systems, in order to improve their interaction with humans. Evaluation of such joking systems is often related to users' emotions, i.e. their feelings towards the systems during and after the interaction. However, in human-human interaction, humor is usually a reaction to particular emotional states, and can be even used intentionally, to change interlocutor's emotions (e.g. sadness into joy). Thus, also in HCI it is important to broaden our view and take into consideration not only emotions that follow the humorous act, but also those that precede it. In this paper we propose to distinguish between what we call a "two-stage" approach, in which emotions are seen only as a reaction to humor, and a "multi-stage" approach, in which we consider emotions and humor as an interchanging chain of events, occurring one after another. The multi-stage approach is illustrated with an actual example - our joking conversational system, which 1) analyses users' emotions during the interaction, 2) uses humor as a reaction to users' particular emotional states, and 3) analyses their reactions to it. We briefly present the results of its evaluation experiments, and finally propose an idea of user-adapting humor sense model, in which the humor-emotion chain can be extended even further.

  This paper presents CAO, a system for affect analysis of emoticons. Emoticons are strings of symbols widely used in text-based online communication to convey emotions. It extracts emoticons from input and determines specific emotions they express. Firstly, by matching the extracted emoticons to a raw emoticon database, containing over ten thousand emoticon samples extracted from the Web and annotated automatically. The emoticons for which emotion types could not be determined using only this database, are automatically divided into semantic areas representing "mouths" or "eyes", based on the theory of kinesics. The areas are automatically annotated according to their co-occurrence in the database. The annotation is firstly based on the eye-mouth-eye triplet, and if no such triplet is found, all semantic areas are estimated separately. This provides the system coverage exceeding 3 million possibilities. The evaluation, performed on both training and test sets, confirmed the system's capability to sufficiently detect and extract any emoticon, analyze its semantic structure and estimate the potential emotion types expressed. The system achieved nearly ideal scores, outperforming existing emoticon analysis systems.

  This paper presents CAO, a system for affect analysis of emoticons in Japanese online communication. Emoticons are strings of symbols widely used in text-based online communication to convey user emotions. The presented system extracts emoticons from input and determines the specific emotion types they express with a three-step procedure. First, it matches the extracted emoticons to a predetermined raw emoticon database. The database contains over 10,000 emoticon samples extracted from the Web and annotated automatically. The emoticons for which emotion types could not be determined using only this database, are automatically divided into semantic areas representing "mouths" or "eyes," based on the idea of kinemes from the theory of kinesics. The areas are automatically annotated according to their co-occurrence in the database. The annotation is first based on the eye-mouth-eye triplet, and if no such triplet is found, all semantic areas are estimated separately. This provides hints about potential groups of expressed emotions, giving the system coverage exceeding 3 million possibilities. The evaluation, performed on both training and test sets, confirmed the system's capability to sufficiently detect and extract any emoticon, analyze its semantic structure, and estimate the potential emotion types expressed. The system achieved nearly ideal scores, outperforming existing emoticon analysis systems.
• Multiagent system for joke generation: Humor and emotions combined in human-agent conversation

  In this paper we present an innovative work on a multiagent joking conversational system. In our research so far we have shown that implementing humor into a chatterbot can visibly improve its performance. The results presented in this paper are the outcome of the next step of our work. They show that a multiagent system, combining a conversational agent, a pun generator and an emotiveness analysis engine, works reasonably well in interactions with users. In the setup used in this research, the emotiveness analysis agent analyses users' utterances and decides whether it is appropriate to tell a pun. Depending on the results of this analysis, the agent chooses either the pun generator, if the decision is that a joke should be told, or the non-humor-equipped agent when the decision is different. Two evaluation experiments were conducted: user (first person) focused and automatic (emotiveness-analysis-based). In both, we compared the performance of the multiagent joking system and a baseline (non-humorous) conversation agent. The results show that in both cases the humor-equipped engine was evaluated as better than the baseline agent. The results are discussed and some ideas for the future are given.

  The issues of humor and emotions are strongly related to each other. Their role is recently being appreciated by HCI researchers, and numerous scientific ventures are launched to investigate this subject from various perspectives. Among others, research projects exist focusing on implementing humor generators into conversational systems, in order to facilitate their interaction with humans. In such research, evaluation experiments are often focused, if not limited to, examining users' emotive reactions towards systems (both during and after the interactions). However, in HHI (Human- Human Interaction),humor is often used, be it intentionally or subconsciously, in reaction to interlocutor's emotions, in order to change them from negative to positive, as, for instance, anxiety into joy, or at least reduce the degree of negativity. This was showed in numerous research, mostly in the field of psychology. Thus, it can be said that in HHI, both emotions preceding and following humorous acts are taken into consideration, while most research in HCI focus only on the latter, thus representing what we call a "twostage approach" to humor and emotions. In this paper we first describe current state of the art in the field of research on humor and emotions, propose to distinguish two types of approach to relation between these two issues, next we compare existing research on this matter in HHI (psychology) and HCI, and describe our research progress. In our project, launched to construct a humor-equipped conversational system, we developed a system, which 1) analyses users' emotions during the interaction, 2) uses humor as a reaction to users' particular emotional states, and 3) analyses their reactions to it. Thus, the system represents what we defined as a "multi-stage approach" to humor and emotions, taking into consideration users' emotive states both before and after humorous stimuli. We present the results of experiments conducted to evaluate our system's performance, and propose an idea of a user-adapting humor sense model, in which the humor-emotion chain can be extended even further.

  By our1 demonstration we want to introduce our achievements in combining different purpose algorithms to build a chatbot which is able to keep a conversation on any topic. It uses snippets of Internet search results to stay within a context, Nakamura's Emotion Dictionary to detect an emotional load existence and categorization of a textual utterance and a causal consequences retrieval algorithm when emotive features are not found. It is also able to detect a possibility to make a pun by analyzing the input sentence and create one if timing is adequate.

  This paper investigate, the role of humor in non-task oriented (topic restriction free) human-computer dialogue, as well as the correlation between humor and emotions elicited by it in users. A joke-telling conversational system, constructed for the needs of this research, was evaluated by the users as better and more human-like than a baseline system without humor. Automatic emotive evaluation with the usage of an emotiveness analysis system showed that the system with humor elicited more emotions than the other one, and most of them (almost 80%) were positive. This shows that the presence of humor makes computers easier to familiarize with and simply makes users feel better. Therefore, humor should be taken into consideration in research On user-friendly applications, as it enhances the interaction between user and system. The results are discussed and Our concept of a user-adapted humor-equipped system is presented.

  This paper presents a method for estimating contextual appropriateness of speaker's emotions. The method is using an affect analysis system to estimate the speaker's emotions and a Web mining technique gathering from the Internet associations about emotional common-sense. The baseline of the Web mining technique, using all of the Web, is improved by restricting the query field to the contents of blogs as containing more evaluative information. A conversational agent equipped with this system could choose an appropriate conversational procedure. The proposed method is evaluated using two conversational agents. The use of blog contents improved the method in the aspect of quality as well as time of processing.

  Proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Intelligence (CI 2009) 7 - 14 2009年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  Human-likeness of dialogue systems is an important, albeit neglected issue. In this paper, basing on evaluation experiments of humor-equipped chatterbot, we propose a method of measuring the distance between humans and systems and relation between human-likeness and humor. The results show that the presence of humor can enhance the performance of dialogue systems. A humor-equipped chatterbot was evaluated as more human like and generally better than one without humor, by both first and third person evaluators. The implications of this fact and novelty of evaluation method are discussed, and some ideas for the future are given.

  The topic of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has been gathering more and more scientific attention of late. A very important, but often undervalued area in this field is human engagement. That is, a person's commitment to take part in and continue the interaction. In this paper we describe work on a humor-equipped casual conversational system (chatterbot) and investigate the effect of humor on a user's engagement in the conversation. A group of users was made to converse with two systems: one with and one without humor. The chat logs were then analyzed using an emotive analysis system to check user reactions and attitudes towards each system. Results were projected on Russell's two-dimensional emotiveness space to evaluate the positivity/negativity and activation/deactivation of these emotions. This analysis indicated emotions elicited by the humorequipped system were more positively active and less negatively active than by the system without humor. The implications of results and relation between them and user engagement in the conversation are discussed. We also propose a distinction between positive and negative engagement.

  By this paper we would like to open a discussion on the need of Emotional Intelligence as a feature in machines interacting with humans. However, we restrain from making a statement about the need of emotional experience in machines. We argue that providing machines computable means for processing emotions is a practical need requiring implementation of a set of abilities included in the Emotional Intelligence Framework. We introduce our methods and present the results of some of the first experiments we performed in this matter. Copyright © 2009, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.

• A System for Affect Analysis of Utterances in Japanese Supported with Web Mining

  We propose a method for affect analysis of textual input in Japanese supported with Web mining. The method is based on a pragmatic reasoning that emotional states of a speaker are conveyed by emotional expressions used in emotive utterances. It means that if an emotive expression is used in a sentence in a context described as emotive, the emotion conveyed in the text is revealed by the used emotive expression. The system ML-Ask (Emotive Elements / Expressions Analysis System) is constructed on the basis of this idea. An evaluation of the system is performed in which two evaluation methods are compared. To choose the most objective evaluation method we compare the most popular method in the field and a method proposed by us. The proposed evaluation method was shown to be more objective and revealed the strong and weak points of the system in detail. In the evaluation experiment ML-Ask reached human level in recognizing the general emotiveness of an utterance (0.83 balanced F-score) and 63% of human level in recognizing the specific types of emotions. We support the system with a Web mining technique to improve the performance of emotional state types extraction. In the Web mining technique emotive associations are extracted from the Web using co-occurrences of emotive expressions with morphemes of causality. The Web mining technique improved the performance of the emotional states types extraction to 85% of human performance.

  21ST INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (IJCAI-09), PROCEEDINGS 1469 - 1474 2009年 [査読有り][通常論文]
   

  This paper presents a novel approach to the estimation of user's affective states in Human-Computer Interaction. Most of the present approaches divide emotions strictly between positive or negative. However, recent discoveries in the field of Emotional Intelligence show that emotions should be rather perceived as context-sensitive engagements with the world. This leads to a need to specify whether the emotions conveyed in a conversation are appropriate for a situation they are expressed in. In the proposed method we use a system for affect analysis on textual input to recognize users emotions and a Web mining technique to verify the contextual appropriateness of those emotions. On this basis a conversational agent can choose to either sympathize with the user or help them manage their emotions. Finally, the results of evaluation of the proposed method with two different conversational agents are discussed, and perspectives for further development of the method are proposed.

  In this paper we propose a novel method for automatic evaluation of conversational agents. The method is based on analyzing the user's affect conveyed in utterances. From analyzing: the user's general emotional engagement in the conversation and the emotion types conveyed by the user in the conversation, a simple psychological reasoning is derived about the user's sentiment about the agent's performance. The evaluation experiment on two Japanese-speaking conversational agents showed the same tendencies in the results returned by the system constructed on the proposed method and the user's opinion about the two agents checked in the afterward survey. Thus the method can be used for evaluation of Japanese-speaking conversational agents.

  This paper presents a novel method for automatic evaluation of conversational agents. In the method, information about users' attitudes and sentiments to conversational agents and their performance are achieved by analyzing their general emotional engagement in the conversation and specific affective states, and interpreting them using psychological reasoning of Affect-as-Information. In the evaluation experiment the users' attitudes to two Japanesespeaking conversational agents were checked simultaneously in a survey and using a system constructed on the proposed method. The results returned by the system revealed similar tendencies as the survey. Therefore the method is applicable as a mean of evaluation for Japanese-speaking conversational agents. © 2008 IEEE.

  This paper contains the results of evaluation experiments conducted to investigate if implementation of a pun generator into a non-task oriented talking system improves the latter's performance. We constructed a simple joking conversational system and conducted one user evaluation experiment and two third person evaluation experiments. The results showed that humor does have a positive influence on the dialogue between humans and computers. The implications of this fact and problems that occurred during the research arc discussed. We also propose how they can be solved in the future.

  This paper is to suggest opportunities for advanced systems hiding in the millions of WWW pages. While usually the Internet is used for achieving knowledge for humans, we present opposite approach where a machine retrieves usual knowledge about humans, their common behaviors and feelings. We claim that in long run such capability will be necessary for every machine interacting with a human user. We will concentrate on our theories and illustrate them with the results of web-mining experiment.

  In this research we investigated user's behavior while facing a system coping with common knowledge about keywords and compared it with not only classic word-spotting method but also with random text-mining. We show how even a simple implementation of our idea can enrich the conversation and increase the naturalness of computer's utterances. Our results show that even very commonsensical utterances are more natural than classic approaches and also methods we developed to make a conversation more interesting. For arousing opinion exchange during the session, we will also briefly introduce our idea of combining latest NLP achievements into one holistic system where the main engine we want to base on commonsense processing and affective computing.

  This paper introduces our method for automatic Schankian-like scripts retrieval from the Internet resources and its preliminary results which might be interesting for Social Sciences researchers. We describe the first module of our system, which is supposed to automatically retrieve commonsensical knowledge from the Web resources by using web-mining techniques. It retrieves minimal "object - action - action" scripts which show humans' common activities changing due the origin of a webpage author. Such data can be used in fields of economics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, sociology or in language education. By this paper we would like to make NLP researchers notice the potential of commonsense retrieval and encourage them to consider creating such tools for their languages.

  This paper introduces our method for causal knowledge retrieval from the Internet resources, its results and evaluation of using it in utterance creation process. Our system automatically retrieves common-sensical knowledge from the Web resources by using simple web-mining and information extraction techniques. For retrieving causal knowledge the system uses three of specific several Japanese "if" forms. From the results we can conclude that Japanese web pages indexed by a common search engine spiders are enough to discover common causal relationships and this knowledge can be used for making Human-Computer Interfaces sound more natural and interesting than while using classic methods.

  As most of us subconsciously feel, it is a great difficulty to create a program which could imitate human's way of thinking. Recently the importance of the relation between expressions "feel", "create" and "way of thinking" used in the previous sentence is being noticed, what gave birth to so called "affective computing". During our experiments within GENTA project, we have observed useful connotations between the common sense information and the emotional information which could be retrieved automatically from the Internet resources. Those observations seem promising for the language and knowledge acquisition and suggested us to investigate the subject, and also to develop some ideas, which could be useful to the researchers in various AI fields. We describe GENTA-related sub-projects and their preliminary experiments.

  BACKGROUND

  Neurodegenerative and mental disorders significantly affect the manner of speaking, syntax, semantics and specific habits of word choice. Linguistic analysis can detect these disorders.

  OBJECTIVE

  The aim of this study was to examine whether speech analysis can be useful for screening test in neurology and psychiatry, due to the limited number of techniques supporting medical diagnostics in these fields. There is a need for a fast, low-cost method for analysing speech samples provided over the phone or as transcripts over the Internet.

  METHODS

  Comparing lemma frequencies in the control group recordings with lemma frequencies in speech of people diagnosed with dementia or depression allowed us to select lemmas that appear too rarely or too frequently in the speech of people affected by disorders. Moreover, the ratio of the number of lemmas to the number of words is a very good indicator of dementia.

  RESULTS

  For neurodegenerative and mental disorders, linguistic analysis frequently results in a more effective diagnosis than analysis of acoustic features. Linguistic changes are easily detectable in dementia, and less noticeable in depressions. By comparing features of speech samples, it was possible to create a classifier which distinguishes one group from the other. We used linguistic analysis to build a system for providing screening tests. Two methods were used to diagnose dementia. The first method is based on the observation that statements made by people with dementia have lower vocabulary variations. The percentage of lemmas (in relation to the number of words) makes it possible to detect dementia states. The second diagnostic method is based on lemma probabilities. This method was also used in depression screening tests.

  CONCLUSIONS

  By knowing features of speech samples recorded by the subjects and the control group, it is possible to create a classifier which distinguishes one group of recordings from the other. Linguistic changes are easily detectable in dementia, and less noticeable in depression.

  近年スマートフォンの普及に伴い,携帯端末の文字入力はタッチパネル上に表示されるソフトキーボードが主流となりつつある.しかし,その精度や速度,打ちやすさなどは改善の余地がある.その要因の一つとして,現在の入力手法の多くが主に1指を用いて特定の狭い入力領域をタップすることにあると考えられる.そこで,3指の認識と各指の圧力を用いたタップおよびフリック入力を用いる実験環境を構築し,精度を向上させることを目的としたユーザ評価を試みた.具体的には各指の動作に仮名文字を割り当てるマッピングを行うため,ユーザの打ちやすい指の動きについて検証を行った.本稿では,被験者実験により3指の認識精度と各指の組み合わせによる正答率の評価,使用感アンケートによる印象調査およびそれらの相関について考察を述べる.

  A decade has passed from our paper in which we questionthe sensors technology not being ready to give a machine the five senseswith the recognition level close to human's and, as we expected, sensingdevices are still not sufficient to become a base for the world knowledgebased reasoning. Although we did not developed the proposed systemany further because of limited access to Internet data, the need for machineexperience is now even more urgent than before. Existing worldknowledge retrieval systems tend more and more to concentrate on nameentityinformation ignoring very basic world knowledge which is still oneof the most difficult obstacles on the path for reasoning about everydaysituations. In our paper we will introduce results of our latest trial toautomatize previously proposed theory for enriching machine's capabilityto simulate environmental perception and deepen human behaviorunderstanding.

  Although we are still quite far from constructing a human-like conversational system, researchers all over the world keep investigating numerous factors that make conversations between humans. In this work we focus on two such factors: humor and metaphors.Numerous research projects exist in the area of metaphor understanding and generation. We propose a unique approach to this subject, based on an observation that humans can not only properly understand and generate metaphors, but also make fun of their misunderstandings. For instance, an utterance "you have legs like a deer" can be understood as a compliment ("long and graceful"), as well as an insult ("very hairy"). If used properly, such misunderstanding can serve as source of humor in human-computer conversations.Currently we are working on constructing a large scale metaphor conceptual network, in which links between concepts are calculated accordingly to their roles in metaphor understanding. When finished, the network should make it possible for the computer to understand and generate metaphors, and, consequently, also misunderstand (or act as if it misunderstood) them. In this paper we propose a design of a conversational system utilizing these mechanisms. We also consider using emotion-from-text detector to improve aptness of generated misunderstandings.

  本手法では,述語項構造解析を用いて,自然言語文で表現されたクエリに含まれる単語,係り受け関係に対して,項構造によるスコア付与を行い,データベースからの検索を行った.特に,述語項構造解析によって「ガ格」として判別された単語に対して,検索文章中で主となる「検索主体」を定義することによって検索を行う.これにより,単語によるスコアの偏りによる問題が是正できる.述語項構造解析にはSynChaを用い,実験では交通事故の判例,「教えて!goo」のテキストを対象とした.In this paper we describe our system for retrieving texts using predicate argument structure analysis for queries in natural language. A dependency relation included in a query decides a word score, which is retrieved by defining "retrieval subject" that further becomes the main clue for retrieving sentences using a word classified by predicate argument structure analysis tool SynCha as "-ga case". As a result, the problem of biased word score can be corrected. In this research we target judicial precedents of traffic accidents and use "Oshiete! goo" online QA community entries for experiments.

  Online security has been an important issue for several years. One of the burning online security problems lately in Japan has been online slandering and bullying, which appear on unofficial Web sites. The problem has been becoming especially urgent on unofficial Web sites of Japanese schools. School personnel and members of Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) have started Online Patrol to spot Web sites and blogs containing such inappropriate contents. However, countless number of such data makes the job an uphill task. This paper presents a research aiming to develop a systematic approach to Online Patrol by automatically spotting suspicious entries and reporting them to PTA members and therefore help them do their job. We present some of the first results of analysis of the inappropriate data collected from unofficial school Web sites. The analysis is performed firstly with an SVM based machine learning method to detect the inappropriate entries. After analysis of the results we perform another analysis of the data, using an affect analysis system to find out how the machine learning model could be improved.

  現代社会の電子化が進みつつある.そうした環境とのより自然なコミュニケーションを可能にするためには,人間の感情を理解できる感情認知・推測システムが必要である.本稿ではユーザが自分の感情を表現するために発話文中に使用した感情表現要素の認識と,その文とウェブ上のデータの因果関係との分析を用いてユーザの発話文の感情を推測するシステムの作成を行ったIn the last few years there has been a rapid development in computerisation. Human lives depend on computers more and more by the day. To make the communication with the machines more natural for an average user, one of the crucial issues is to develop in machines applications and interfaces for understanding human emotions. In this paper we propose a system for affect analysis of textual utterances in Japanese. The emotional states are determined on the basis of appearance of emotive elements and emotive expressions in the utterances as well as Web mining technique in which emotional associations are extracted from the Web using causality features.

• ウェブマイニングの時代におけるプラン及びスクリプトのコンセプト実現の再考察

  ジェプカ・ラファウ, 伊藤 敏彦, 荒木 健治 情報処理学会研究報告自然言語処理（NL） 2004 (73) 11 -18 2004年07月15日 

  本稿では、以前に技術的に実現が不可能であったスクリプトやプランなどの再使用に関するアイディアを提案する。我々はゴールを達成するために利用されるプランの構築を支援できるSchankのスクリプトを再考し、古典的な認知科学的なコンセプトの作者と違い、現在の強力なコンピュータ、および数テラバイトのデータを使用することにより、ドメインを制限しない常識知識の処理を可能にしたい。６０年代から多くのプロジェクトが、主に手動入力の壁にぶつかり、諦めざるを得なかったが、我々はWWW資源から常識的なデータを抽出し、統合した常識処理システムを構築することを計画している。本稿では、予備実験の結果に基づいて開発された手法の理論的な面について述べる。In this paper we introduce some ideas for reusing cognitive science concepts which realizing before was impossible due to the technical limits. We concentrate on the Schankian scripts which could help to build plans as the basic method for achieving goals. In contradistinction to the authors of classic cognitivistic ideas, we can currently use powerful computers and terabytes of data which could help to make their concepts usable in not restricted domains for any kind of application using commonsense knowledge. Many useful projects were abandoned because of difficulties due to the manual input of big sets of data. We plan to build a commonsense processing systems which retrieves commonsensical data from the WWW resources. This paper introduces the theoretical side of our research with some results of preliminary tests.

  Our methods for realizing a moral artificial agent assume that the wisdom of crowds can equip a machine with the enormous number of experiences that are the source of its ethical reasoning. Every second, people with different cultural, religious or social backgrounds share their personal experiences about multitudes of human acts. We propose that a machine therapist capable of analyzing thousands of such cases should be more convincing and effective talking to a patient, instead of analyzing single keywords. In this chapter, we introduce this vision and several techniques already implemented in an algorithm for generating empathic machine reactions based on emotional and social consequences. We show the roles that Bentham’s Felicific Calculus, Kohlberg’s Theory of Stages of Moral Development and McDougall’s classification of instincts play in the agent’s knowledge acquisition, and we describe the accuracy of already working parts. Modules and lexicons of phrases based on these theories enable a medical machine to gather information on how patients typically feel when certain events happen, and what could happen before and after actions. Such empathy is important for understanding the actions of other people, and for learning new skills by imitation. We also discuss why this bottom-up approach should be accompanied by a top-down utility calculation to ensure the best outcome for a particular user, and what ethical dilemmas an advanced artificial therapist could cause.

  During the second year of our project we extended our question-answer database for the conversational expert system for supporting non-expert in deciding if their research or goods for export are require governmental permission. We also created a synonym dataset of chemical substances based on CAS numbers (by hiring a worker with the grant funds) to improve mapping terms in queries to the keywords in our database. This lead to enriching triplets for our knowledge graph which will now contains concepts as "SynonymOf", "HasCAS", "HasDefinition", "AddressHasText" or "IsControlledBy". We experimented with visualizing these concepts to have a better insight into connections among terms used in the Controlled Goods/Technologies Matrix Table. This should improve the process of searching legal texts for answers to the user’s queries. We published our findings from experiments with question answering and presented them during an international conference. It appeared that traditional and modern learning approaches (LDA-Based Ranker, BERT Ranker, SQuAD model-based QA and GPT-2-based Answer Generation) achieved worse results than keyword matching based on the glossary published as an index for the legal text regarding trade security issues. This convinced us to shift the weight from automatic to half-automatic in our approach for searching paragraphs related to user queries. However, there is still a necessity for using similarity calculation in order to deal with terms which are used in queries but are not included in the glossary used for keyword matching.
