Abstract
A language processor according to the present invention includes a probability calculating section () having a probabilistic model by which a probability that a set of partial referring expression pairs represents an object, each pair consisting of an attribute value expression and a part expression modified by the attribute value expression, the set of referring expression pairs including a pair concerning the whole object, is represented by a product of probabilities each of which is a probability that each partial referring expression pair represents the object. The probability that each partial referring expression pair represents the object is obtained using a probability that the object is chosen, a probability that represents the salience of a part of the object, and a probability representing relevance between the part of the object and an attribute value, a probability that the part expression is used for a part of the object, and a probability that the attribute value expression is used for an attribute value. It further includes at least one memory section () for storing values of probabilities used for the probabilistic model. The probability calculating section calculates the probability that the set of partial referring expression pairs represents the object using the values of probabilities stored in the at least one memory section and the probabilistic model.
