Abstract
In Japanese language, the speaker must choose suitable honorific expressions depending on many factors. The computer system should imitate this mechanism to make a natural Japanese sentence. We made a system to determine a suitable expression and named it honorific expression determining system (HEDS). It generates a set of rules to determine suitable honorific expression automatically, by decision tree learning. The system HEDS determines one out of the three classes for an input sentence: the respect expression, the modesty expression and the non-honorific expression and determines what expression the verb is. We calculated the accuracy of HEDS using the cross validation method and it was up to 74.88%.
