Evaluation target of interest extraction apparatus and program

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program executed by a processor of an evaluation target of interest extraction apparatus, which comprises a target expression storage device and a pattern storage device and is configured to discover a pattern before an evaluation target of interest is extracted based on the pattern from a plurality of pieces of text information which are given along a time series and are related to a plurality of evaluation targets, the program comprising:

• a first program code for controlling the processor to execute processing for collecting text time series data including text information delivered among the plurality of pieces of text information, information which shows evaluation targets contained in the text information delivered among the plurality of evaluation targets, and first time information which shows a timing at which each text information is delivered;
• a second program code for controlling the processor to execute processing for collecting numeric time series data including numeric information which are given along a time series for each evaluation target and individually related to each evaluation target and time information individually related to each numeric information, wherein the time information includes the first time information and second time information which shows timing after timing shown by the first time information in the same time series;
• a third program code for controlling the processor to execute processing for storing an evaluation target expression which individually expresses each evaluation target, and a related expression which expresses a target individually related to each evaluation target in association with each other in the target expression storage device;
• a fourth program code for controlling the processor to execute processing for extracting a plurality of noun expressions for each piece of text information included in the collected text time series data, and for allocating the evaluation target expression or an evaluation target expression associated with the related expression in the target expression storage device to the text information related to extracted noun expressions as an evaluation target noun expression, when the noun expressions include a noun expression that matches the stored evaluation target expression or the related expression;
• a fifth program code for controlling the processor to execute processing for obtaining first numeric information as numeric information related to a first timing as a delivery timing corresponding to text information to which the evaluation target noun expression is allocated and second numeric information as the numeric information related to a second timing after the first timing in the same time series from numeric time series data corresponding to the evaluation target noun expression, wherein the first timing is shown by the first time information and the second timing is shown by the second time information;
• calculating a change in numeric information related to the evaluation target between the first and second timing based on the first and second numeric information which is obtained, distinguishing a class related to the change in the numeric information, and allocating the class to the text information to which the evaluation target noun expression is allocated;
• a sixth program code for controlling the processor to execute processing for generating, for each piece of collected text information, a class attached transaction including the allocated evaluation target noun expression, the extracted noun expressions, and the allocated class;
• and
• a seventh program code for controlling the processor to execute processing for discovering the pattern indicating a combination of characteristic noun expressions from each of the transactions, the combination of characteristic noun expressions having high frequencies of occurrence and storing the discovered pattern in the pattern storage device.
