Outline of Final Research Achievements

We proposed a refining method of knowledge content interactively with a user when a problem in knowledge content is found. Knowledge content in a word retrieval assistant, which aims to support word finding difficulty of people with aphasia, is used as a target, and a protocol for acquiring information necessary for fixing knowledge content was proposed. In addition, we proposed a method to obtain information necessary for refining knowledge content represented as linked data, using quizzes in the game format.
