ABSTRACT:
A dialog supporting apparatus which can support an on-going dialog so that the dialog is smoothly completed. The dialog supporting apparatus includes an utterance receiving unit receiving an utterance of a dialog participant and outputting utterance information, an utterance processing unit translating the utterance identified by the utterance information, an utterance output unit outputting the translated utterance information, a dialog history database, an utterance prediction generating a first utterance prediction information based on the first utterance prediction information and the second utterance prediction information.
