| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, we created a database of administrative information citizens requested through the disclosure system and made it comparable across local governments. Second, we developed the world’s first video retrieval system for parliamentary deliberations by utilizing the latest sound recognition techniques. Using our video retrieval system, we can pinpoint and partially play the moment of interest by keyword search. Departing from the academic tradition of focusing on text information, we analyzed sound and visual information using the Diet videos and shed new lights on the dimension of parliamentary deliberations that does not remain in the minutes. Lastly, by making these databases open to the public as academic and social assets and enabling automatic translation of English inputs, we contributed to improving the international accessibility of policy information in Japan.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究を通じて，自治体共通に開示請求される行政情報が明らかとなり，自治体の自主的な情報公開と市民による効率的な開示請求が促進されます．また，国会の審議映像と会議録を結び付けることによって，映像検索だけでなく，字幕付与やインターネット共有を容易にし，情報弱者の立法情報へのアクセスを改善しています．会議録と音声を比較し，映像情報も分析することにより，文字に依存した研究を脱し，新たな研究領域を開拓しました．
