COMPUTER AND RESPONSE GENERATION METHOD

A response generation apparatus ensures accurate output. A computer stores graph knowledge including a response generation module generating a response to an input document including a plurality of sentences, the graph knowledge database includes graph data that manages a structure of each type of graph knowledge, and the response generation module generates a first graph knowledge from each of the sentences; searches a second graph knowledge similar to each of the plurality of first graph knowledge while referring to the graph data on the basis of the plurality of first graph knowledge; identifies the plurality of second graph knowledge included in a dense location where a density of the second graph knowledge is high in a graph space; searches third graph knowledge for generating the response while referring to the graph data on the basis of the identified second graph knowledge; and generates the response using the third graph knowledge.
