Abstract

The present disclosure relates to technology for correcting a regular expression that is vulnerable to ReDoS attacks. The purpose of the present disclosure is to ensure that a correction result having, as a subject, a regular expression including real-world extensions is not vulnerable while minimizing memory consumption. For the aforementioned purpose, a correction device 30 carries out an iterative deepening depth-first search to thereby correct an inputted regular expression to a form that satisfies RWS1U (prohibits the same characters from appearing consecutively) by using the regular expression, a positive example, and a negative example, and then output the corrected regular expression. It is expected that this will make it possible to support development of a program that is safe against ReDoS in more scenarios.

Abstract

This image restoration device comprises a mask image generation unit, a pixel restoration unit, and an image synthesis unit. The mask image generation unit generates a mask image for an unnecessary object from the input image. The pixel restoration unit first performs down-sampling processing on the input image and the mask image to generate a downsized input image and a downsized mask image by reducing the number of pixels. Next, the pixel restoration unit uses the downsized input image and the downsized mask image to perform object removal processing and pixel restoration processing on a missing region in which the object is removed and generates a downsized restoration image. Then, the pixel restoration unit performs up-sampling processing on the downsized restoration image to generate a restoration image having the same size as that of the original input image. Next, the pixel restoration unit uses the mask image and the restoration image to perform pixel restoration processing on the missing region to generate a final restoration image. The image synthesis unit synthesizes an image by using the input image and the final restoration image.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber bundle that increases the coupling efficiency of light from a light source, that enables spatial division multiplexing transmission, and that can be manufactured through simple steps. This optical fiber bundle (301) is a bundle of a plurality of single-core resin-clad optical fibers (30), Each of which has a configuration in which the outer circumference of a glass core (11) is covered by a resin cladding (15) with a lower refractive index than the glass core (11). Only the glass core (11) is heated and then drawn out. After drawing out the glass core (11), the resin cladding (15) is applied to the outer circumference of the glass core, thereby forming a single-core resin-clad optical fiber (30). The optical fiber bundle (301) is formed by bundling a plurality of the single-core resin-clad optical fibers (30).

Abstract

A storage unit (14) stores domain knowledge (14a) representing information on a prescribed domain to which a topic belongs, and a state transition diagram (14c) representing the transition of a prescribed state independent of the domain to which the topic belongs. An acquisition unit (15a) acquires text representing speech made by a user. A specification unit (15c) uses information included in the acquired text, the domain knowledge (14a), and the state transition diagram (14c) so as to specify dialog states that include the current state of the dialog with the user and the state of a transition destination. A generation unit (15d) generates speech in accordance with the specified state of the transition destination.

Abstract

A processing unit (10) uses, as first learning data, a personal characteristic of a user A, a reliability index indicating reliability held by the user A toward another person, a first recognition result, and an estimation result of an intention and/or an action of the user A based on the first recognition result to cause a first model to learn a first relationship between the first recognition result and the intention and/or the action of the user A when the user A performs a task in cooperation with an object of another user. The first recognition result relates to an appearance, gesture, expression, vocal tone, emotion, and/or language information relating to the user A recognized on the basis of an image and voice of the user A and/or a text created by the user A for first data that is an image and voice of the object of the other user who is a cooperation target of the user A and/or a text created by the object of the other user.

Abstract

In one embodiment of this invention, when a transmission device transmits main information and additional information associated with the main information to a reception device, the transmission device first transmits the additional information in bulk to the reception device, generates transmission summary information relating to the additional information on the basis of the additional information, and transmits the main information to the reception device together with the transmission summary information associated with the transmitted additional information. Meanwhile, the reception device receives and stores the additional information transmitted from the transmission device, generates reception summary information on the basis of the received additional information, and stores the generated reception summary information into a storage unit in association with the additional information from which the reception summary information has been generated. The reception device then receives the main information and transmission summary information transmitted from the transmission device, reads, from the storage unit, the additional information associated with the same reception summary information as the received transmission summary information, and displays the read additional information on a display unit instead of the transmission summary information.

Abstract

The purpose of the present disclosure is to reduce a storage usage amount, network communications, and costs such as participant incentives, while ensuring the security of proof of existence (time stamp). To achieve this purpose, provided is an information processing terminal that implements an electronic signature according to a proof of existence, wherein each participant of the electronic signature individually generates a random number, and a participation management unit is provided that participates as an information processing terminal related to a signer if the random number is less than a threshold value.

Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention comprises: a sleep control unit that switches the operation mode of an optical signal transmission/reception unit between an active mode, in which optical signals can be transmitted and received, and a sleep mode, in which optical signals cannot be transmitted or received; a wakeup signal reception unit that receives a wakeup signal; and a terminal data reception unit that, after a wakeup signal is received by the wakeup signal reception unit, receives data transmitted from a prescribed terminal. If a wakeup signal is received by the wakeup signal reception unit when the operation mode is the sleep mode, the sleep control unit switches the operation mode to the active mode, and the optical signal transmission/reception unit transmits data received by the terminal data reception unit to a host device, whereupon the sleep control unit switches the operation mode to the sleep mode.
