| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By adopting a model closer to humans, we aim to generate a natural pause like a humans, and the interrupt/backchannel timing during conversations. We further aim to apply such a spoken language processing to dialogue systems. We recorded a spoken language corpus, then trascribed and assigned annotations of backchannel/interrupt timing, etc. We constructed an inference system using these annotations based on speech and linguistic features. We built a dialogue system and implemented an agent which participates in the natural language division of the annual AI Werewolf Contest, where agents automatically play the conversation game "Mafia".

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
統計的手法の隆盛により、既存の自然言語処理研究のほとんどは大規模データを取集しやすい書き言葉を前提に研究がおこなわれている。そのために話し言葉の処理性能は未だ不十分なのが現状である。また、人間の言語処理は話し言葉を基盤としている可能性が高く、書き言葉の処理においても話し言葉の処理が有用な可能性があり、「間」をはじめとする音声的な要素も取り込んだシステム構築は、自然言語処理全般に資すると共に、人間の言語処理メカニズムの解明にもつながるものである。
