Abstract(in English) Maeda et al. (2016) built a system that answers a light consultation such as "Which do you think is better?", and conducted an evaluation experiment. They used a method to estimate hidden preferences of the participants by moving an agent according to the delayed unconscious muscle movement. The estimation success rate was 75%. In this research, in order to improve the preference estimation accuracy of the participants, we analyzed from the following methods. The first method is to estimate the preference from the time series information of the inclination of the tablet obtained by Maeda's system and the coordinate data of the agent. The second method is to introduce probe behavior into the agent and perform preference estimation from time series information on how the tablet's slope and agent coordinate data changed with respect to probe behavior. In first method, despite the instructions to instruct the participants to keep level, the inclination of the tablets tends to coincide with the preference of participants by about 65% at the beginning of consultation. In the proposed method, it is suggested that when the direction of movement of the agent due to probe behavior matches, the initial stage of consultation may coincide with the preference of the consultant. In the future, we plan to realize preference estimation with higher precision based on these findings.
