Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a method for hot spot detection in multi-party conversation. Detecting hot spots in conversation helps to recognize user's minds, and leads to the improvement of dialogue understanding. We focus on laughing of each user. We divide laughing situations into ``internal'' and ``external''. The ``internal'' and the ``external'' denote unprompted laughing and laughing that is caused by actions or utterances from other persons, respectively. Besides, we classify the power of laughing into ``smile'', ``laugh'' and ``burst''. We generate a classifier with these laughing features and basic features such as bag-of-words. We evaluate the proposed method with 10 dialogue sets. The experimental result shows the effectiveness of the proposed method with laughing features.
