Abstract
Incomplete and fuzzy portions in input information are detected by making a reference to world knowledge and knowledge of a specific field in a knowledge base prior to understanding the input information indicating a concept. The detected incomplete portion is completed and the detected fuzzy portion is resolved. The knowledge base makes a reference to knowledge of other concepts when the value of an instructed attribute of a specific concept is acquired. Moreover, a concept common to and upper than a plurality of concepts can be determined so that another word, concept or meaning is searched for from one word, concept or meaning.
