Information-processing apparatus, information-processing method and information-processing program
First Claim
1. An information-processing apparatus for giving an utterance to a conversational partner to cause the conversational partner to understand an intended meaning of the utterance, the information-processing apparatus comprising:
- function inference means for inferring an overall confidence level function representing a probability that the conversational partner understands the utterance by using a learning process; and
utterance generation means for generating the utterance by estimating a probability that the conversational partner understands the utterance based on the overall confidence level function produced by the function inference means.

Abstract
An information-processing apparatus, a method thereof, and a program therefor that can give an utterance adaptively to changes of the condition of a person and changes in environment. The information-processing apparatus for giving an utterance to a conversational partner to make the conversational partner understand an intended meaning of the utterance, includes a function inference element for inferring an overall confidence level function representing a probability that the conversational partner correctly understands the utterance, and an utterance generation element for giving the utterance by estimating a probability that the conversational partner correctly understands the utterance on the basis of the overall confidence level function.
