Method, information processing device, and recording medium for performing prediction related to polycondensation reaction

An information processing device performing prediction related to a polycondensation reaction, the information processing device comprising:

• a control unit that:
• trains a prediction model based on actual data comprising a plurality of explanatory factors and an objective factor that are related to the polycondensation reaction, and
• predicts, with the prediction model, the objective factor during the polycondensation reaction based on the explanatory factors related to the polycondensation reaction,
• the explanatory factors include a plurality of feature values obtained by a clustering analysis of time-series data from a plurality of measurement instruments at a dehydration temperature rising process, and
• the objective factor includes at least either a viscosity or an acid value.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions performing prediction related to a polycondensation reaction by an information processing device that comprises a processor, the instructions causing the processor to execute:

• training a prediction model based on actual data comprising a plurality of explanatory factors and an objective factor that are related to the polycondensation reaction;
• and
• predicting, with the prediction model, the objective factor during the polycondensation reaction based on the explanatory factors related to the polycondensation reaction, wherein
• the explanatory factors include a plurality of feature values obtained by a clustering analysis of time-series data from a plurality of measurement instruments at a dehydration temperature rising process, and
• the objective factor includes at least either a viscosity or an acid value.
