The developers of new vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and governments have provided information on vaccine effectiveness and status on a daily basis to reassure people about vaccination against COVID-19. However, because the interest in vaccines and vaccination status varies by country and region, people do not always feel reassured. In this paper, we analyzed tweets posted on Twitter to elucidate the emotions people have toward COVID-19 vaccines and factors that cause such emotions to be expressed. We selected six countries for our analysis: Japan, the United States, the Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and India, and applied an emotion classification method using machine learning based on the eight types of emotions defined in Plutchik’s wheel of emotions. We also used a text analysis approach using dependency analysis and burst detection methods. The results of our emotion classification showed that fear was the most common emotion in Japan whereas anger and disgust were most common in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Australia; joy was most common in India. We also analyzed tweets during the period when a particular emotion was increased in the changes of the emotions represented as a time series based on the burst-detected dependency relations, and found several characteristics: many users posted vaccine-related news, one user would often post a large number of tweets with the same content, and the same event related to vaccines could arouse different emotions depending on the individual’s situation.

Development and manufacturing often involves many people, and mutual understanding is necessary. However, clear values sometimes have not been established at the outset. In this case, value creation through communication is necessary. In this paper, firstly we will explain a methodology to reduce ambiguity in software development, which has been considered a problem that must be resolved in conventional engineering. Secondly, we will show the characteristics of the manufacturing approach of creating value by attempting to utilize ambiguity. Finally, we will tell our attempt to observe and model value-creating communication, in which value is added through the use of ambiguity.

This study aims to identify the essential features of photos that make food look “luxury”. The authors consider as Kansei evaluation “Looks luxury” as a hierarchical structure constructed from the impression layer and the physical layer, and modeled it using the impression evaluation and physical features of the image. First, the impression evaluation and a principal component analysis was performed. As a result, four principal components were extracted as the impression layer: glamorous, friendliness, moist feeling and moderate portion. The physical layer used six image features: hue, saturation, brightness, number of pixels, presence of background, and presence of background blur. Next, a “looks luxury” hierarchical structure model was constructed using multiple regression analysis. This made it possible to structure and explain the factors that affect the luxury of the images of cooked dishes.

This study aims to investigate how the nuances of image words in the fashion field differ depending on the fashion brand. First, the authors extracted fashion brands that represent feminine, mode, and street types, and collected fashion images on the brand site and explanations for each image. Next, we extracted the image words contained in the collected explanations and investigated their frequency. As a result, it was found that the three image words “simple”, “casual”, and “cute” appear frequently among the three brands. Next, in order to investigate whether the nuances and usage of image words differ depending on the brand, we investigated words that co-occur in frequent image words. In addition, we compared co-occurring words by brand. As a result, the authors clarified that the concept represented by the image word differs depending on each fashion brand.

In this study, we propose a method of Kansei analysis of aspects such as preference or impression using a large amount of automatically processed data. We focused on representative colors which are low colors representing many colors in an image because colors affect to people's feeling and impression and are easily quantify and express features. Our method consisted of automatic data acquisition by web crawling and automatic feature extraction through an algorithm of image processing. Data collected from restaurant websites were analyzed in order to verify the following hypothesis: expensive restaurants have more achromatic photographs on their websites. As a result, the hypothesis has been proven in several restaurant genres.

The authors have been conducting research on value-creating communication. It is a process where people embody and clarify their own values and form new values through communication. The authors have observed and modeled consensus building process that has few choice as an example of value-creating communication. Therefore, in this study, we observed and modeled the consensus building process in case of multiple-choices and compared the process based on quantity of choices. In multiple-choices, there was a group that they created the conception through communication and a group that they reach the consensus in terms of a viewpoint. It is considered that the conception is important if the appearance of viewpoints through communication is few or the degree of importance between viewpoints is not clear. However, as a result of comparison the process, it was suggested that the consensus building process can be caught the same structure regardless of the number of choices.

The authors are conducting research on value-creating communication. In this study, we analyze the collaboration process as an example of value-creating communication. First, we took notice of remarks on collaboration process and analyzed remarks in detail. As a result, we found the point which participants pay attention to is different in respective items. It also suggested that concepts often appear with the other reasons and that if the concept is clarified, the selection of items is going to change accordingly. Next, in order to structure the features of the extracted collaboration process, we constructed Bayesian network model and analyzed. As a result, we also showed that the items that emphasize each group are different, and that the appearance of the concept influences the selection of items. As described above, we were able to explain the structure of collaboration process as value-creating communication using new methodology of classification and modeling.

The authors are conducting research on “Value-creating communication”. Value-creating communication process is a process that people embody and clarify their own values and form new values through communication. Therefore, we analyze the collaboration process of interior coordination as an example of value-creating communication. First, we took notice of remarks and analyzed collaboration process qualitatively. Then, we revealed the characteristics of the internal value creation. Second, we modeled collaboration process using Bayesian network and examined the validity and usefulness of the constructed model. A feature of the Bayesian network is to predict the likelihood and possibility of occurrence of an uncertain event by expressing the causal structure as a network and then performing probabilistic reasoning. As a result, we found that the point which participants pay attention to is different in respective items. Furthermore, “conception” affected the choice of the item, and it was suggested that the share of “conception” is important to support collaboration process.

In recent years, the communication technique known as coaching is getting a lot of attention, and beginning to be implemented in various fields. However, the psychological effect of coaching on healthy individuals remains unclear. In order to rectify this, we have conducted a coaching observation study, and implemented psychological testing to determine its effects in this area. Also, building on the precedent set by other studies, we have carried out analysis of the content of conversation during coaching. The results show a statistical relation between conversation content and the psychological effects of coaching.

Recently, advances in information and communications technology have allowed us to easily download our favorite songs from the Internet. A song in general is more often played in sequence with other various ones than listened separately. The evolution of devices, however, has caused an increased number of portable songs and thus frequent difficulties in nicely combining multiple songs from a flood of songs to make a satisfactory playlist. There are many existing research works on songs search and retrieval, such as a songs each system using affective words and a songs recommendation system in consideration for the user's preference. These existing researches, however, are intended for "selecting a single song suited to the user's image", and never takes into consideration a combination of multiple songs. Therefore, it is difficult that existing systems automatically generate a desired playlist. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

Most of traditional studies on information recommendation systems aim at recommending highly satisfactory information in a one-time or small number of uses of a system or service, and never take it into account that the user would feel tired of the same system or service after they have used it many times over. This study has modeled the human nature of being tired of the same thing and enabled the measurement of the degree of such boredom. This time, the study has implemented an information recommendation system that has features to (1) visualize the degree of the user's boredom and (2) recommend information that can reduce it. Then, an evaluation experiment was conducted using a system developed. The result of an evaluation experiment shows that the system can get the user less bored and more satisfied when used continuously. © 2011 IEEE.

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.

Recently in the business world, there are an increasing number of projects that have become larger-scaled and more complicated, resulting in more stake holders involved. In these projects, the difference in demands of the stake holders has often caused failures in reaching an agreement among them and misunderstanding with each other. The persons involved must resolve the impedance mismatch with each other and realize smooth communication between them, in order for their projects to be successful. Many of the existing project management studies put emphasis on the management of efficiency and quality; however, this study considers project management as a form of KANSEI communication and proposes a process model for the impedance mismatch resolution. In addition, it discusses its applicability to actual projects.

Most previous studies on the recommendation of the rut and sensitivity to aspects will feel tired and if the user continued use of the same systems and services has not taken into account. Continue to get service users continue to use, it is necessary to recommend considering information on their characteristics. This study is intended for planning meals, we propose a model sensitivity people get tired, we have applied to the verification and recommendation. An experiment to compare the results of subjective evaluation of real data and simulation results showed that a mathematical model representing the human feeling of mannerism proposed model. We also implemented the system, we evaluate the actual users, and other relevant planning meals to assist in creating, was found to be very effective considering the recommendation sensibility get tired.

It can be said that consensus building is group decision making. In group decision making support method, it has been focused on whether we can make a rational decision by using mathematical method. However, in daily life, people perform harmonious consensus naturally and make a decision that all the members satisfy. Therefore, the authors observed the process on consensus building with selection problem and compared a decision by mathematical method with it by discussion. Then, we proposed method that input a personal evaluation reason to choices in online and discuss GDSS (Group Decision Support System).

This study has improved the previously proposed models for creation and consensus building processes to propose a process model for cooperative work involving concept sharing. In addition, it has built a system called MochiFlash to support the cooperative work process. MochiFlash allows the user to visualize their own concept as an image map through the placement of objects, such as keywords and figures, onto a two-dimensional map. In the cooperative work involving concept sharing with MochiFlash, the users understand each other's concept through communication via their image maps and repeat negotiations among them to reach an agreement. Through a case study using picture book creation as an example, the authors have found that MochiFlash is effective in supporting cooperative work involving concept sharing and that the effective usage pattern depends on the degree of intimacy between the users.

Human thinking may vary according to the situation. Consequently, the requirements also change according to the situation. In everyday life, we find some requirements are changeable such as: cuisine, refreshment. Some requirements are not changeable such as: type of book, movies genre. Furthermore, people often make choices not only based on their personal preference but also opinions or choices of other people such as their companion. From various requirements, we need a service that can provide desired information for the user depending on the prevailing situation on each occasion. In this paper, we have proposed information service adapted to three dimensions of the user requirements which are temporal: short term and long term preference, dynamic: dynamic and static preference, and social preference: the user and companion preference. This study also creates rules, algorithm to this service.

The most of conventional information services are based on the implicit premise that the users has already defined their desired information. This study proposes a mobile information service that allows the users who have not yet defined their desired information or whose desired information varies according to the situation to get appropriate information. When the user can specify their desired information to the system explicitly, the authors develop a "Pull" service. Conversely, when the user cannot verbally specify their desired information to the system, this study provides "Push" service and "Don't disturb" option for the user who does not welcome this service. This study considers the characteristics of the environment of mobile terminal to focus on "Time", "Place" and user's "Preference": long term and short term preference. This study also creates rules, algorithms and filtering to the service. Furthermore, the results of experiments have been discussed to verify the idea that different of user desired requires different information services.

Through an analysis of the log of university students' job-hunting processes, this study has found out the following: (1) The self-discovery process characterized as concept articulation is sometimes observed in the mental world of students during job-hunting. (2) Such concept articulation can lead them to find their own identity and therefore help them succeed in job-hunting. The authors have been working on studies focusing on human mental process in our everyday life on the subject of shopping behavior. The findings have shown that creative thinking process can be observed not only in expert tasks covered by traditional creativity support studies but also in our everyday activities such as buying clothes and therefore that the framework of creativity support studies can be applied to our everyday activities as well. The cases presented in this study suggest that creative thinking process is observed also in job-hunting as another everyday activity. Therefore, the framework of creativity support studies can be applied to the support for job-hunters' thinking process as well.

The authors collected the cases of job-hunting by female university students and analyzed their thinking process. The findings obtained is that reviewing the job-hunting log is sometimes effective in prompting self-discovery. Many previous studies have already shown that inspiration via interaction plays an important role in creative thinking process such as learning and problem solving. The cases presented in this study suggest that creative thinking process is observed also in job-hunting as an everyday activity. Therefore, the framework of creativity support studies can be applied to the support for job-hunters' thinking process as well.

The main goal of our research is to establish "methodology for knowledge creation" and to build a supporting system for exhibition planning named "Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer for Exhibition Planning". Every year, exhibition planning companies hold various exhibitions. So far exhibition planning is conducted with implicit knowledge of experienced planners and effectiveness of exhibitions is measured only by questionnaires. In actual situations, it is said that planners cannot obtain adequate and proper knowledge for future planning only from statistical data derived from questionnaires. Then planners fail to evaluate exhibitions they design, and they cannot have accountability enough persuasive for their planning to clients. Planners need to know what visitors to exhibi- tions actually feel and how they behave when they are at the exhibition booth in order to construct strategies for next exhibition planning. In this paper, we are going to describe the methodology adopted for investigating visitors' mental transition in the real world and examples of obtained results. The methodology described here works to articulate exhibition planners' intention and exhibition visitors' mental impression at real exhibition sites, and then to articulate gaps between them. Visitors' interactions with exhibition objects were observed, and their verbal reports (protocol data) and their actions were recorded, collaborating with Dentsu Inc. From the result of our approach, we obtained a prospect that our microscopic approach is useful and effective toward exhibition planning a prototype of "Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer for Exhibition Planning" is described.

This study considered the information presentation method to help the customers make a concept-articulation type of purchase. When customers follow the concept-articulation type of thinking, they only have vague requirements, and try to make a gradual clarification of what they want through the interaction with salesclerks and so forth. We constructed a system called S-Conart (Concept Articulator for Shoppers) to support the concept-articulation type of purchase based on the observations from an analysis of human behavior in actual purchase activities. The user study conducted using S-Conart suggests that changing the contents and/or the method of presenting informa- tion can bring an change to the human mental world, which is also observed when sales-clerk appropriately reacts to the customer in a real-life shopping situation, although in a different form. The result of this user study suggests the possibility of a chance discovery by the customers themselves, which is expected to be useful for building the support system for concept-articulation type of shoppers.

This study considered an information presentation method to help customers make a concept-articulation type of purchase. When customers follow the concept-articulation type of thinking, they only have vague requirements and try to make a gradual clarification of what they really want through the interaction with salesclerk(s). Skillful salesclerks can communicate with their customers appropriately to discover an opportunity for bringing the customers to their concept-articulation, which often leads to a successful sale. Based on the observations from our analysis of these human behavior in actual purchase activities, we constructed a system called S-Conart (Concept Articulator for Shoppers) to support the concept- articulation type of purchase. The user study conducted using S-Conart shows that using a different method of presenting information can cause a change in the user's mental world, which is also observed in a real-life shopping situation, although in a different form. The result of this user study suggests the possibility of chance discovery by customers themselves, which is expected to be useful for building support systems for concept-articulation type of shoppers.

This study considered the information presentation method to help the customers make a concept-articuladon type of purchase. When customers follow the concept-articulation type of thinking, they only have vague requirements, and try to make a gradual clarification of of what they want through the interaction with salesclerks and so, forth. We constructed a system called S-Conart (CONcept ARTiculator for Shoppers) to support the concept-articulation type of purchase based on the observations from an analysis of human behavior in actual purchase activities. This paper describes the system configuration and interaction design of S-Conart, and introduces the result of a user study conducted using S-Conart. The user study suggests that changing the contents and/or the method of presenting information can bring an change to the human mental world, which is also observed when sales-clerk appropriately reacts to the customer in a real-life shopping situation, although in a different form.

Analyzing conversation between customers and salesclerks in actuai purchase activities, we have found that appropriate information given by the clerk in a timely context often causes a change in customer's focus, which then leads to tier decision on what to buys This phenomenon, or "mental leap", so to speak, is similar to the one often observed in creative activities such as design or concept formation Therefore, the effect provided by the creativity support systems can be expected to play a similar role in online-shopping system interfaces as well The examples described here. can be thought as the cases of chance discovery by skillful sellers as "creative communicators,"

We focus here in this paper on the decision-making process behind consumers' selection of taste-oriented products such as clothes and jewelry. We investigated the actual processes where they purchase clothes as an instance. This investigation brought us a conclusion that their interaction between others plays an important role in the process, which motivated us to start developing an agent system to help them make a decision in purchasing clothes on-line via computer network. This paper reports the result of the analysis of their decision-making process and the requirement of the system.

Most studies on groupware have focused on desktop-type collaboration in two-dimensional (2-D) space. However, to apply groupware to manufacturing or mote general and free communication, groupware must be developed that supports expressions of 3-D shapes and motions. Collaboration in the 3-D environment will be called ''spatial workspace collaboration'' to distinguish it from the conventional type of collaboration.
To evaluate and understand spatial workspace collaboration, the point of focus, number of words, and verbal expressions were examined. Based on these analyses, the following requirements on groupware are deduced to support spatial workspace collaboration: realtime bi-directional video communication; availability of nonverbal expressions; positional changeability of point of focus; ability to share points of focus; positional changeability of display; and confirmation ability.

Most of traditional studies on information systems aim at seeking highly satisfactory information in a one-time or small number of uses of a system or service, and never take it into account that the user would feel tired of the same system or service after they have used it many times over. In order to solve this problem, this study has modeled the human nature of being tired of the same thing and enabled the measurement of the degree of such boredom. This paper shows our approaches on several fields, and we discuss how we can construct better information systems for continuous use.

This document introduces Japan Society of Kansei Engineering (JSKE) established onOctober 9, 1998. Kansei engineering is a new academic area, and it is a cross-road of interdisciplinaryresearch. In fact, academic members of the society are specialized in such diverse fields asphilosophy, education, psychology, art, politics, economy, management, natural science, medicine,physiology, chemistry, materials, mechanical engineering, information, system science, and so forth.In the framework of individual researchers, it is the role of this academic society to offer a place todiscuss a common objective of contributing the society by discovering and using values of Kanseibased on individual results achieved from their own aspects. This academic society unites a widerange of study areas without being caught in the restriction of conventional categories such as culturalsciences, social sciences, and natural sciences. It promotes a new meta-science and technologyof Kansei engineering.
