Abstract: | In this paper, we propose an approach to the construction of an intelligent system that handles various domain information
provided on the Internet. The intelligent system adopts statistical decision-making as its reasoning framework and automatically
constructs probabilistic knowledge, required for its decision-making, from Web-pages. This construction of probabilistic knowledge
is carried out using aprobability interpretation idea that transforms statements in Web-pages into constraints on the subjective probabilities of a person who describes the
statements. In this paper, we particularly focus on describing the basic idea of our approach and on discussing difficulties
in our approach, including our perspective.

degree from Division of Applied Systems Science, Kyoto University, Japan, in 1992. From there, he joined NTT Electrical Communications
Laboratories, Tokyo, Japan, and has been engaged in research on Artificial Intelligence. He is currently interested in probabilistic
reasoning, knowledge acquisition, and especially in quantitative approaches to research in human cognition and behavior. Mr.
