INFERENCE KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE DEVICE, INFERENCE KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An inference knowledge construction assistance device 1 comprises: a literal generation unit 2 which extracts elements corresponding to predicate symbols and terms from descriptive information representing natural text, and generates literal information on the basis of the extracted elements; a rule generation unit 3 which uses a plurality of sets of literal information to estimate the causal/implication relationship between literals, and divides literal information that is estimated to have a causal/implication relationship into antecedents and consequents, thereby generating rule information; a display information generation unit 4 which generates display information used to cause a display device to output a rule editing user interface for arranging and displaying side-by-side a literal display region, in which literal information and descriptive information associated with the literal information are displayed, and a rule display region, in which rule information and descriptive information associated with the rule information are displayed; and an editing unit 5 which uses the rule editing user interface to allow a worker to edit the rule information.
