INFERENCE-USE KNOWLEDGE GENERATION DEVICE, INFERENCE-USE KNOWLEDGE GENERATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An inference-use knowledge generation device 10 which, in order to generate inference-use knowledge that is used by a computer to make an inference, is equipped with: a data extraction unit 11 that, on the basis of a parameter that has been set, extracts data conforming to a designated position or region from a first data set that includes data pertaining to objects and events in a prescribed space; and a knowledge generation unit 12 that specifies, from a second data set which includes multiple entities constituting a space and for which grouping has been performed for each related entity, an entity group formed by words included in the previously extracted data, and that generates inference-use knowledge indicating spatial relationships among the entities on the basis of the specified group and a lexicon representing preregistered spatial relationships.
