Abstract
A natural language processing apparatus is provided with: a dialog processing unit which, every time an analyzable unit of a part of a natural language sentence is inputted, performs analysis processing with respect to the input unit in each of a plurality of analysis processing units in an incremental and parallel manner; and an output unit which obtains an output, such as a dialog response sentence, based on an analysis result from each analysis processing unit in the dialog processing unit. Each of processing units prepared in the dialog processing unit acquires an immediately preceding or an earlier past analysis result from the processing unit, and an immediately preceding or an earlier past analysis results from the other processing units, and obtains one or a limited number of analysis results while making an estimation with reference to the acquired analysis results.
