Abstract
[Object] To provide a device assisting a user to easily generate, in relation to an issue of interest to the user, a question sentence guaranteed to have an answer of a certain accuracy or higher in a question-answering system.[Solution] A question sentence generating device is used with a question-answering system, and it includes: word receiving means for receiving a word 480 as a source for generating a question sentence; and question sentence generating database 502 comprised of a plurality of entries for generating a question sentence. Each of the plurality of entries has a word as a key and includes an answer sentence pattern co-occurring with the word, used in the question-answering system. The question sentence generating device further includes a question sentence generating unit 506, searching the question sentence generating database 502 for an answer sentence pattern using the word 480 received by the word receiving means as a key, for generating a question sentence from a retrieved answer sentence pattern and the received word 480.
