Abstract
According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a storage unit, a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, an analyzer, and a recognition unit. The storage unit stores first situation information about a situation assumed in advance, a first representation representing a meaning of a sentence assumed, intention information representing an intention to be estimated, and a first value representing a degree of application of the first representation to the first situation information and the intention information. The first acquisition unit acquires a natural sentence. The second acquisition unit acquires second situation information about a situation when acquiring the natural sentence. The analyzer analyzes the natural sentence and generates a second representation representing a meaning of the natural sentence. The recognition unit obtains an estimated value based on the first value associated with the first situation information and the first representation.
