-Dentsu Inc. and Nihon Unisys Ltd, in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S., will develop artificial intelligence (AI) centering on the Japanese language.
Commonsense knowledge of words unique to Japanese will be programmed into a database to create conversation interfaces that appear natural. The database will make such inferences as "summer equals hot" and "a summer night equals muggy so it is hard to sleep."
The database will hold more than 1 million combinations. The partners will complete the database in two years. It will then be incorporated into AI technology.
Using the database, the technology will help supplement the machine's "understanding" of the intentions behind people's words. It is expected to be used for many applications, such as telephone answering systems.
MIT Media Laboratory, which develops cutting-edge information technology, will undertake the project.
