摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To construct a sentences network without being influenced by a personal point of view and to retrieve flexibly desired related knowledge that has arbitrary order with respect to knowledge to be inspected. SOLUTION: By a sentences network generation means 15D, sentences including the same important word as a starting point sentence designated by teaching information 14B is selected as a starting point candidate sentence from among a sentences set 14A, and sentences including the same important word as an end point sentence designated by the teaching information 14B is selected as an end point candidate sentence from among the sentences set 14A. By using new directed line segment with the starting point sentence and the starting point candidate sentence as starting points respectively and with the end point sentence and the end point candidate sentence as an end point respectively, a sentences network to indicate the relation and order among the respective sentences is generated.
