This paper describes the relationship between voice quality of singing voice and color. We conducted 2 experiments. As stimuli, 28 voices were recorded from 11 amateur female singers. First, matching between voice quality and color was made with paired comparison. Color stimuli were categorized by 3 conditions and selected from the PCCS color system. As a result of binomial test, raters tended to agree with each other in the lightness condition. Second, voice stimuli were evaluated with 13 pairs of word as psychological features and 3 factors were extracted by factor analysis. In addition, 10 acoustic features were calculated as physical features. Based on the result of correlation analysis, it turned out that many features of colors are associated with impressions like a factor of “activity”. We also found that spectral centroid and spectral tilt might be related to some of the color features in the analysis of physical features.

Considering the great popularity of amusement machines and contact lens that magnify the iris, it is clear that eyes play a significant role in facial attractiveness. However, there have been few studies that investigated attractiveness using average faces while manipulating the size of the iris and the shape of eyelid. In this study, we generated average female faces with either flat or double eyelids, we also generated four patterns of the size of the iris, and asked participants to rate their attractiveness and how natural or otherwise the faces appeared. The research found a face with flat eyelids and an iris at 125% of normal size was judged more attractive and more natural than faces with double eyelids. These results suggest that females with flat eyelids can readily enhance their facial attractiveness utilizing commodities such as contact lens that magnify the iris.

The civil construction in a particular community should be given a name that appropriately reflects the climate and culture of the area (expressed as "fudo"in Japanese) where they are constructed, which will add social and culturalvalue to it. From the view of Fudo Engineering, the namer may well be required to have all the knowledge of the fudo of the area, however, it is not easy to acquire the adequate knowledge. Here, we will propose to use our newly developed computerized consultation system, which uses an electronic encyclopedia, to get the fudo information effectively. When the user inputs a name of the place, this system searches all the descriptions about it from the encyclopedia. The descriptive text includes the nature environment, origin, history and so on. Then, it automatically extracts the nouns and the adjectives from the text, and makes a word list semantically related to the each extracted word. The word list helps the user choose a word or coin a new word conceptually related to the community as a name for the construction

This paper proposes an automatic robot manzai (comic dialogue) generation system. In the proposed system, input sentences such as a tale, story, etc. are converted into a manzai script composed of boke (stupid joke) and tsukkomi (comeback). Then, two humanoid robots play the manzai taking roles of a funny man and a straight man, respectively. Their motions are determined from the motion database based on a verb in the utterance. The contributions of the paper are the following three points; a proposal of the novel system for an automatic robot manzai generation which can accept a normal story, convert it to the manzai script and play the manzai: verification of the usefulness of motions in the manzai to make it funnier by experiments: indication of the effectiveness of the proposed system by experiments.

This paper describes linguistic features of generally unreadable person names, which are defined as "<I>KIRAKIRA</I> names," and proposes a method to detect <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names based on the features. Through the discussions, the following eight features are founded as the linguistic features of <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names: 1) Too many Kanji characters, 2) Too many syllables, 3) Multiple usage of a common Kanji character, 4) Kanji variants are used, 5) The pronunciation of Kanji is generally unknown, 6) Too many stroke count for Kanji, 7) Mismatching of gender between a person and the name, and 8) The pronunciation of name equals an imported word. Based on the features, <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names are automatically detected by using Support Vector Machine. The experiments to detect <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names were conducted for 10,000 names. The results of the experiments showed 81.79% accuracy, 76.89% precision, and 91.84% recall.

This is a preparatory report of the study on the cognitive characteristics of color names in the congenitally blind. We conducted following two surveys on fifteen congenital blind persons to measure resemblance among color terms in the congenitally blind: (1) Ten participants were asked to recall color names similar to displayed color names which was also(originally)recalled by the participants. (2) Participants judged the similarities of all pairs of color names corresponding to 16 color names; siro, kuro, aka, ki, midori, ao, tya, murasaki, orange, pink, hai, kon, hada, mizu, sora, kimidori. For each of these names selected from recalled color vocabulary survey. The results show that the characteristics of congenital blind persons' color representations were absence of hue ordering seen in sighted people. Instead of hue ordering, multiple hue groups containing perceptually close color terms were identified; dark, light, warm, cool. This grouping could be explained through categorization process in Kay & McDaniel's modified basic term theory.

In this paper, we propose an estimation of reader's emotion towards news articles using Twitter, and apply this method to the access log analysis of a news website. The proposed estimation method is divided into 3 steps: 1) The system collects tweets about news articles from Twitter. 2) The system tags each tweet with an emotion. 3) The system estimates the reader's emotion towards the news articles using tweets obtained in the second step. The system can tag an article with one or more of 11 emotions (anger, dislike, excitement, fear, like, joy, relief, sadness, shame, surprise, nothing). The experimental result shows the effectiveness of this method using Twitter for estimating the reader's emotion. For access log analysis based on emotion, we collected the access log of a self-produced news website. The system tags each collected news article with emotions using the proposed method. We analyzed the access log by using Hidden Markov model (HMM). As the result of access log analysis, we obtained some interesting findings such as that the users tend to read the article which causes excitement or surprise at the start.

Iyashi is a word that everyone often hears of in Japan. However, is it a feeling? a state? a process? The essence of Iyashi has not been clarified. Our target is to clarify the Iyashi structure and to use Iyashi to keep people's minds peaceful any time in the contemporary society to solve various problems by a scientific method. In our previous research, we analyzed and integrated the historical and social usage of Iyashi and several researchers' opinions and defined “Iyashi” as a stimulus and “Iyasareru” as a process. In this paper, we report the analysis of goods and that induce Iyashi to the mind of the observed persons. However, this time the first stage about goods analysis was recorded and we could get the elements of Iyashi goods. The final purpose of the analysis is to extract the main characteristics from goods to develop the machine that can make people's minds calm.

In the research on emotion, films have been used widely as a means for eliciting emotions in a laboratory because they affect psychological states of human beings. The studies by Philippot (1993), Gross & Levenson (1995) and Noguchi (2005) showed that specific emotion states, i.e., amusement, anger, contentment, disgust, fear, happiness, neutral, sadness and surprise, should be reliably elicited by films. In the media society we are living, the use of films as an effective representation for communicating information among ourselves has been increasing. As the previous studies showed, films should elicit emotions, and therefore the films used in the media society should affect the emotional nature of the media society. In order to establish a sound media society, it is required for those who produce films to understand appropriately the psychological states of the people who watch them. The purpose of this study was to develop producers' media literacy by the knowledge how specific films used in the media society should elicit specific emotional states of the viewers. We investigated psychological states of viewers in terms of their Kansei reaction, which is, in this experiment, the ability to induce the preference evaluation, i.e., like or dislike, when watching the films. We used four films associated with different types of information having the same playback time. Forty-nine participants carried out preference evaluations after watching the four films. We measured the Kansei reactions of the participants using 16 emotions proposed by Gross & Levenson (1995) and impression evaluations for 14 adjective pairs proposed by Gwasaki (2002). The result showed the way how the emotions and the impressions affected “like” and “dislike”. In particular, it was found that the emotion of “tension” is the key of the preference evaluation.

This study analyses the luthier's philosophy on traditional violin making through a literature review and online survey to investigate the sources of the affective value produced by the violin. Violins have existed for more than five centuries without changing their traditional artisan philosophy and design, without being taken in by industrial advances such as alternative materials and greater efficiency that have accompanied many technological innovations since the industrial revolution. The luthier's philosophy of artisanship, which has been passed down is considered key to these violins, known for their acoustic performance and appearance over time due to the use of natural materials and traditional techniques by skilled artisans. The results of this study suggest that these traditional violins have a traditional philosophy that affirms the individual character of the musical instrument and is conscious of its growth after it is worked.

There are a lot of long-standing companies in Kyoto, these companies are famous in worldwide. Also, you can see a typical long-standing company in all categories of business. The product and service which these companies offers have provided the peculiar value that starts appealing to human sensibility. However, it is high possible that to keep providing the same product and service with the special value is left in the trend, and it often becomes impossible to carry on their business. So, they can not continue their business in a long term and it is impossible to be a long-standing company. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the change of product/service by innovation for the Kyoto long-standing companies. We present three long-standing companies case at Kyoto. First, it is the long-standing inn “Tawaraya.” Second, it is the long-standing incense “Yamadamatsu.” Finally, it is the long-standing Karakami (a sliding door) “Karacho.” According to the case studies based on interviews, we analyze their innovation of their Kansei product and service using the product innovation method.

There are many existing studies on information recommendation technology for presenting information better suited for the user's preference; however, no existing studies took account of human nature of being tired of the same old thing. This study has proposed a Kansei model that can be conscious of the boredom that arises from similar things repeated. Specifically, the model takes menu planning as a problem domain and formulates a sense of being tired of the same old thing. In addition, the study applied this Kansei model to actual data of menu planning and simulated a transition of the monotonousness level. Finally, it carried out an experiment with subjects to make a subjective evaluation for the same actual data, compared with a simulation result obtained using the model, and discussed the validity of the model created in this study.

The concept of entropy which was introduced as a thermodynamic property has been extended to the economics theory, information theory, and others. Even though “entropy” is used in many fields of science, it is not easy to understand the concept of entropy, as well as describing it by words/terms. We assume that one of the causes of such difficulty is the gap between psychological quantity caused by words/terms used in explaining the concept of entropy and actual entropy value. In this report, we investigated the correlation between the entropy and the psychological quantity obtained by showing binary dot pattern images to participants, and examined the correlation between the entropies calculated by several different algorithms and the psychological quantity by three verbal expressions. We have found that the entropy calculated by means of measuring the length between each black pixel has highest correlation to psychological quantity.

Familiarity is one of the most important requirements for human symbiosis robots, such as care service robots. To improve familiarity of a human symbiosis robot, we proposed a novel concept called “robot avatar.” A robot avatar is a small robot mounted on a main robot, and it performs gestures instead of the main robot. Although our previous study revealed that a robot avatar was effective for increasing users’ familiarity with a robot, the effect of users’ age on the improvement of familiarity by a robot avatar was not investigated well because the most of the subjects in the previous study were young. When considering the application of a robot avatar to care service robots, it is important to investigate the effect of a robot avatar on elderly people. In this paper, we focus on elderly subjects, and carried out an experiment to test if a robot avatar is effective for elderly people to improve familiarity. The result was positive, and the effect of a robot avatar on elderly people was stronger than that on younger people. From a comparison of the results from elderly subjects with those from younger subjects, we found that the elderly paid less attention to dialogue between a human and a robot.

Persona method is very effective method to improve customer's satisfaction. And, personas are suitable for development of BtoC (Business to Consumer) products. Facility personas are an idea that extends personas to development for BtoB (Business to Business) products. Facilities personas are personas that added organization model, facilities model and other items to conventional personas. By using facility personas, we can discuss not only about usability but also about specifications as function and performance. In this paper, we reported about how to build and how to use facility personas.

This paper proposes a kansei-aware landscape picture creating system from natural language sentence. The proposed system creates a landscape picture by focusing on nouns. In the system, several concepts such as “sea” and “sky” and their many graphical parts are stored. Semantic estimation among input words plays an important role in the creating of a meaningful image representation of the input sentence. We use Google N-gram to cope with this issue, a lexical resource. As a result, restrictions on the input sentences can be greatly weakened and relevant constituents can be selected. In addition, the proposed system can express sense of season by selecting appropriate graphic parts with suitable color to the input sentence. Furthermore, the relation between colors and adjectives is also considered in the proposed system to reflect kansei aspects of the input sentence. Evaluation experiments have been carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed system.

Recently, the word “kawaii” is getting familiar to many people. They have greater opportunities to use “kawaii” in their conversations, and so, the meaning contained in “kawaii” have become diverse with confusion. In despite of this situation, it seems like there are a lot of cases that pink is the typical color representative of “kawaii” on product planning. In this study, it is intended to classify the test subjects and clarify the taste characteristic of each cluster from the aspect of “kawaii”. We conducted the survey to 360 women in their students to 30's by using the panel of 48 colors. As a result, six clusters of “kawaii” color were obtained. We found out that there are variations of “kawaii”, and the point where people feel “kawaii”, including colors, images and values differs from one type to another.

There are many reports of medical errors mainly caused by the similarity of drug names in Japanese such as ‘_??__??__??__??__??_’ (Amaryl) and ‘_??__??__??__??__??_’ (Almarl). In order to prevent such errors, one of the authors studied methods of measuring the similarity of drug names and implemented a search engine to find pairs of similar medicine names. However, the existing methods only evaluate sequences of common substrings. In addition, although some methods took the similarity of character (letter) shapes into consideration, they assumed that the similarity of each character pair is given, usually by hand. In order to define the objective similarity index of medicine names, it is also necessary to measure the similarity of character shape objectively. In this study, we propose a method to evaluate character similarity by image processing and apply the method to the medicine name similarity that we propose.

Our research is to recognize the tea leaves opening stage the Deep Learning image analysis. Since the quality of tea depends on the stage of the growth, it is therefore important to predict the leaf opening period. Relative amounts of amino acid and theanine has significant effect on the quality of tea. High quality plucked tea leaves contain the maximum level of theanine. However, over time theanine changes to catechin an astringent ingredient in the sunlight. This means the content of the “Umami” ingredients is reduced. The hypothesis in this study is Umami’s level changes over time can be predicted by image analysis. Image analysis is performed using the Continuous Wavelet Decomposition (CWD), and the Deep Learning (DCGAN, PCA, SAE, and LSTM) as methods. We combine these in certain order and use them in analysis. The advantage of with combine 5 methods grades “fuzzy” tea photo images, difficult to classify accurately, than with one single method, as spectrum analysis, AKAZE and so on. By developing an iPhone application that feed back the analysis predict the optimal picking time, it can contribute to the tea quality prediction of large tea farm a large-scale.

Websites of interior brands display many photographs of products that include walls, floor, and other furniture. Such photographs, known as image photographs, have much information about the brand image because the colors of walls, floor, and furniture in a photograph influence the brand image. This paper proposes a method of extracting representative colors of interior photographs in the L*u*v* color space by using a hierarchical clustering algorithm and analyzes the characteristics and differences of interior brands with color features by using model-based clustering. Our proposed method can be used to describe the common characteristics of interior image photographs and differences between six interior brands (arflex, Cassina, Fritz Hansen, IKEA, karimoku, and Muji). To measure similarity or difference between brand images, we constructed a brand image space with clusters of representative colors and obtained a relationship between six brand images.
