  • Toward an LLM Chatbot for Parenting Support: Adapting to Diverse Consultation Needs

    Ito R., Takiguchi T., Hirata M., Mori Y., Hotta S., Ariki Y.

    Transactions of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence 41 ( 2 ) 1 - 2 2026

    ISSN  13460714

     View Summary

    In recent years, the increasing prevalence of nuclear families and the weakening of local communities have made solo parenting a significant social issue. In this context, there has been growing interest in chatbot systems that can offer parenting support anytime and anywhere. In particular, chatbots powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) are expected to address a wide variety of parenting concerns. However, the nature of these concerns is diverse. Some users simply seek someone to listen, while others wish to organize their thoughts or obtain specific information. Because each user’s purpose differs, chatbots are required to respond in a flexible and personalized manner. Traditional systems have struggled to provide such adaptability. To address this challenge, we developed a chatbot based on ChatGPT-4o, designed to adapt its responses flexibly according to the user’s underlying intent. We conducted user studies in which real participants engaged with the chatbot, and we analyzed both the chat logs and questionnaire responses to evaluate its effectiveness. Additionally, we carried out comparative experiments using Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct, a lightweight open-source model, to explore future considerations such as privacy protection and local deployment. The results demonstrated that our chatbot based on ChatGPT-4o is capable of accurately inferring users’ goals and adjusting its conversational strategies accordingly. This capability contributed to greater user satisfaction and trust. On the other hand, Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct exhibited limitations in language capability and prompt interpretation. The main contributions of this study are threefold: (1) proposing a novel approach to designing chatbots that can adapt their conversational style based on user intent; (2) the validation of the proposed approach through user studies to evaluate its effectiveness and identify potential issues; and (3) a comparative analysis of ChatGPT-4o and Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct to highlight the challenges associated with using lightweight open-source models.

  • Richness of emotion in people with dementia

     View Summary

    It is important to explore not only what is lost with the progression of dementia, but also what is left and what can be compensated or developed by adapting to the special needs of the conditions. Some studies suggest that as dementia progresses, people become less emotionally expressive and have difficulties in distinguishing between other people's facial expressions. On the other hand, it is also said as cognitive function declines, anger and anxiety increase, placing a burden on caregivers. Here we report the richness of emotions in people with dementia expressed in their interviews. We analysed the transcripts of 88 interviews of people with dementia (4.8 years after diagnosis), which lasted about 60–90 min, sometimes even longer. Those transcripts are valuable, as they show that people with dementia can express themselves verbally for a long time. From the analysis of the transcripts using Paul Ekman's basic emotions, we found that the strongest emotion expressed in the interviews was happiness. We also conducted a survey of the general public recruited through X about the emotions of people with dementia, and found that people without dementia imagined that the strongest emotion felt by people with dementia was fear. Our results suggest that the cognitive abilities and emotional states of people with dementia can be more robust than people without dementia typically perceive. It might be possible to augment happiness-related emotions by the support of those around people with dementia, and the cognitive efforts of the affected people themselves.

  • Public officials’ attitudes towards public participation in policymaking by people with dementia

    Matsumoto H., Tsuda S., Hotta S.

    Dementia 24 ( 6 ) 1077 - 1091 2025

     View Summary

    Introduction: Public participation by people with dementia in relevant policymaking has been advocated to improve the quality of health systems and democratic processes. Public officials’ attitude is a key determinant of public participation. This study aimed to explore Japanese local-government officials’ attitudes towards public participation by people with dementia in policymaking and associated factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study, utilising an online survey conducted in December 2022, included public officials (n = 997) in charge of dementia policy in Japanese municipalities, with one respondent from each municipality. Participants’ certifications were administrative, public-health nurse, or other professionals. Univariate and mediation analyses were performed with attitudes towards public participation by people with dementia as a dependent variable, attitudes towards people with dementia as a mediating variable, and demographic characteristics, contact opportunities with people with dementia, and sources of dementia-related information as exploratory variables. Results: The mean attitude towards people with dementia and towards public participation was 45.1 (SD: 5.1) and 12.6 (SD: 1.8), respectively. Positive attitudes towards people with dementia were a significant determinant of supportive attitudes towards public participation. Participation in collaborative activities with people with dementia and a larger municipality population had positive and significant direct effects on attitudes towards public participation by people with dementia. Additionally, the public officials’ sex and exposure to information about dementia directly from people with dementia showed a significant positive indirect effect mediated by attitude towards people with dementia. Discussion: Attitudes towards people with dementia are the most significant factor influencing their public participation; therefore, reducing stigma among public officials is essential to foster public participation by people with dementia. Active involvement of public officials in collaborative activities with people with dementia at the micro level and valuing the perspectives of people with dementia as essential contributions can enhance public participation by in local policymaking.
