Abstract

An information processing system includes a processor configured to, in response to reception of operation performed by an operator to link an image to an icon image for image categorization, link a feature of the image subjected to the operation to the icon image.

Claims (20)

1. An information processing system comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine, for each data of a first plurality of data, either (i) a category of the data or (ii) that the category of the data is unknown, based on machine learning using first links between data features and data categories, the first links being stored in a storage;

display, on a display, (i) icon images corresponding to the data categories, and (ii) a plurality of images of respective data of the first plurality of data for which the category of the data is unknown, and

in response to reception of a user operation, on the display, to associate a target image of the plurality of images with a target icon image of the icon images, store, in the storage, a feature of the data associated with the target image in association with the category corresponding to the target icon image, wherein

the icon images each include a graphical image indicating the corresponding data category.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to determine, for each data of a second plurality of data, either (i) the category of the data or (ii) that the category of the data is unknown, based on machine learning using second links between the data features and the data categories, the second links being stored in the storage, and the second links including a link between the feature of the data associated with the target image and the category corresponding to the target icon image.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the feature of the data associated with the target image is a histogram of an image of a document containing the data associated with the target image.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is further configured to, for a second plurality of data, determine either (i) a category of the new data or (ii) that the category of the new data is unknown by comparing a histogram of the new data with the histogram of the data associated with the target image stored in association with the category.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

determining, for each data of a first plurality of data, either (i) a category of the data or (ii) that the category of the data is unknown, based on machine learning using first links between data features and data categories, the first links being stored in a storage;

displaying, on a display, (i) icon images corresponding to the data categories, and (ii) a plurality of images of respective data of the first plurality of data for which the category of the data is unknown; and

in response to a user operation, on the display, to associate a target image of the plurality of images with a target icon image of the icon images, storing, in the storage, a feature of the data associated with the target image in association with the category corresponding to the target icon image, wherein

the icon images each include a graphical image indicating the corresponding data category.

6. An information processing system comprising:

means for determining, for each data of a first plurality of data, either (i) a category of the data or (ii) that the category of the data is unknown, based on machine learning using first links between data features and data categories, the first links being stored in a storage;

means for displaying (i) icon images corresponding to the data categories, and (ii) a plurality of images of respective data of the first plurality of data for which the category of the data is unknown; and

means for storing, in response to reception of a user operation, on the means for displaying, to associate a target image of the plurality of images with a target icon image of the icon images, a feature of the data associated with the target image in association with the category corresponding to the target icon image, wherein

the icon images each include a graphical image indicating the corresponding data category.
