Abstract
An information processing device according to an embodiment includes a hardware processor connected to a memory. The processor receives an input of input information including recognition target data. The processor executes one or more recognition tasks. Each of the recognition tasks is a task of recognizing the recognition target data based on reference information including reference data, one or more pieces of attention region information indicating an entire or a partial attention region of the reference data, and explanatory information about the attention region. The processor outputs information including recognition result obtained by executing the one or more recognition tasks.
