A computer implemented method for collecting data, comprising:

• acquiring data when the data is stored in a shared storage area available to one or more users;
• determining whether or not a format of the data acquired in the acquisition step is a format in which text included in the data is extractable by a predetermined library;
• extracting the text included in the data by a text extraction method according to a result of the determining;
• and
• storing the text extracted in the extraction step in a database as learning data for a machine learning model that implements a natural language processing task.
