Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this study, we propose a dialogue system based on utterance prediction in order to support communications by sign language. Conventional methods of sign language recognition have performed a word recognition based on gesture components. However, the recognition accuracy decreases when the number of recognition candidates increases. We can predict next utterances according to the scene in an actual dialogue. The proposed method is able to decrease the recognition candidates by performing a sentence recognition using the utterance prediction. We conducted recognition experiments by assuming scenes in the hospital. As a result, a sentence recognition accuracy by the conventional method was 7.9% and the recognition accuracy of 83.8% was obtained by the proposed method.
