Information processing device

Abstract

It outputs appropriate answers to inputs that contain technical terms. [Solution] The information processing device includes: an input information acquisition means for acquiring input information entered by a user; an estimation means for estimating the degree of deviation of a synonym from a technical term when the input information includes a synonym that paraphrases a technical term; an identification means for identifying a technical term corresponding to a synonym based on pre-prepared paraphrasing candidates when the degree of deviation is less than a predetermined threshold; a generation means for generating a response to the input information, which, if a technical term has been identified, generates a response based on information about the identified technical term; and an output means for outputting the response to the user.
