Abstract(in English) This manuscript reports our effort for facilitating building question-answering functions using RIME-TK, which is a toolkit for dialogue and behavior controller for robots/agents. RIME-TK employs experts, each of which is responsible for executing a task in a certain domain, and various kinds of tasks can be dealt with by incorporating new kinds of experts. We have created an expert class for question-answering based on a database written in a simple description format. This makes it possible for non-expert to create question-answering contents, resulting in a wide variety of systems. The result of a preliminary evaluation showed that this method enables creating question-answering systems with enough utterance understanding accuracy.
