Abstract(in English) We have proposed a method that predicts user's utterances in spoken dialogue systems by recognizing prediction sentences of each dialogue state, thereby decreasing recognition errors. However, the conventional method might repeat recognition errors because it confirms the whole sentence even if it recognizes only a part of a long word, such as a compound word, correctly. In this study, we propose a method using decoders based on prediction sentences and partial words obtained by dividing long words. The proposed method can confirm user's utterances by selecting a candidate to a partial matched word using recognition results of the prediction sentence and a divided partial word. We conducted experiments in setting a destination of a car navigation system. We demonstrated that it is possible to confirm user's utterances effectively using the proposed method by selecting recognition candidates.
