  • Patent number: 11783129
    Abstract: An interactive control system according to an embodiment includes one or more hardware processors configured to function as a detection unit, a conversion unit, first and second estimation units, and an attribute determination unit. The detection unit detects an input keyword from input information. The conversion unit converts the input information into information including the input keyword and the input-keyword-excluded context information. The first estimation unit estimates, from the context information, at least a first estimate information piece in which the input keyword's first attribute is associated with a first likelihood of the first attribute. The second estimation unit estimates, from the input keyword, at least a second estimate information piece in which the input keyword's second attribute is associated with a second likelihood of the second attribute. The attribute determination unit determines the input keyword's attribute based on the first and second estimate information.
