Abstract

In this paper, we propose a dialogue system with humor using multiple linguistic resources. The following two points are considered in this system. First, proper nouns are integrated into concept dictionaries. In particular, words in Wikipedia are added to two dictionaries, Japanese WordNet and GoiTaikei. In addition, concepts of the dictionaries are merged into declinable words by using Kyoto University's case frame. Second, humor is considered in the dialogue system. Based on the technique used in comedies, pun, comparison and kabuse, repetition of funny expressions, are employed in the dialogue. The proposed dialogue system analyzes user's utterance and extracts surface cases, predicates, and topic words. Next, the system chooses an utterance pattern and determines whether a humor is used or not from the features of input sentence and previous utterance patterns. We evaluated the proposed system in the case of humor is used and in the case not used. As a result, we confirmed that the proposed system with humor is able to make various responses and makes users more satisfied. In addition, the system is able to make a fast response due to the independence of Web.
