Chat-based counselling has become increasingly popular in the era of telecommunication. The need for accessible therapy has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given its text-based nature, chat-based counselling provides an opportunity for machine-based analysis. It even has the potential to provide machine-based counselling services. However, the informational resources for machine-based analysis and interaction are rather scarce especially in a Japanese-language context. We created a Japanese dictionary for sentiment analysis, using a technique via machine-based text analysis, tailored for counselling related text. It includes 2389 words that were frequently used in chat-based counselling corpora. The following attributes were included for each word: (1) valence rating by the general public, (2) valence rating by clinical psychologists, (3) emotionality, and (4) body-relatedness.

PACS-32 is a prototype supercomputer used for a broad range of scientific calculations.It has a synchronizable MIMD processor array, and on the basis of this facility, it provides efficient nearest neighbor communication.Processors are combined into a rectangular array with endaround connections, and can synchronize at user-specified points with little overhead.The hardware has been constructed with 32 processors, and the operating software includes a highlevel language.The PACS-32 system has performed in a number of applications, such as Poisson equation solving, nuclear reactor calculation, aerodynamics, Monte Carlo simulation of plasma particles, and molecular dynamics modeling in solid state physics.The processor efficiency measure ranges from 78 percent through 99 percent in these applications.
