  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11282521
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a dialog system includes a processor. When a first sentence including one or more words is input by a user, the processor sets at least a part of the one or more words as a first query keyword. The processor selects, from a question-answer table including question-answer pairs, one or more of the question-answer pairs including the first query keyword. Each question-answer pair includes a question and an answer to the question. When a number of the selected question-answer pairs is 1, the processor outputs a first response indicating the answer. When the number is not less than a first threshold, the processor outputs a second response including first and second question keywords. The first question keyword is extracted from question keywords included in one of the pairs. The second question keyword is extracted from other question keywords included in another one of the pairs.
