INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104128 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can merge dissimilarly expressed character strings by determining whether they indicate the same object.

  • Data acquisition section: Acquires a data set with multiple character string pairs, each indicating whether they refer to the same object.
  • Conversion pattern decision section: Analyzes the character string pairs in the data set to determine a conversion pattern that improves accuracy in identifying if the strings indicate the same object.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in data integration systems, text mining tools, and language translation software.

Problems Solved

1. Difficulty in merging character strings with different expressions. 2. Inaccuracies in determining if character strings refer to the same object.

Benefits

1. Improved accuracy in merging dissimilar character strings. 2. Enhanced efficiency in data processing and analysis.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhanced Data Integration and Analysis Tool for Businesses"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing technologies related to data merging and text analysis, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the conversion pattern decision section determine the most accurate conversion pattern?

The abstract does not detail the specific methodology or algorithms used in the decision-making process.

What types of character string pairs are most challenging to merge accurately?

The abstract does not specify if certain types of character strings pose more difficulties in the merging process.


Original Abstract Submitted

in order to make it possible to correctly merge dissimilarly expressed character strings, an information processing apparatus () includes: a data acquisition section () that acquires a data set including a plurality of character string pairs in each of which whether or not character strings therein indicate the same object is known; and a conversion pattern decision section () that decides, based on results of trials to convert each of the plurality of character string pairs included in the data set, a conversion pattern that heightens accuracy in determining whether or not the character string pair included in the data set indicates the same object.
