Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents machine learning method L-Core that enables robots to learn to communicate linguistically from scratch through verbal and behavioral interaction with users. L-Core combines speech, visual, and tactile information obtained by interaction in the real world. It learns speech units, words, the concepts of objects, motions, grammar, and pragmatic and communicative capabilities, which are integrated in a dynamic graphical model. Experimental results show that through a practical, small number of learning episodes with a user, the robot was eventually able to understand even fragmental and ambiguous utterances, respond to them with confirmation questions and/or acting, generate directive utterances appropriate for the given situation, and answer questions. This paper discusses the importance of a developmental approach to realize natural situated human-robot conversations.
