CALCULATING MACHINE, PREDICTION METHOD, AND PREDICTION PROGRAM

摘要

A calculating machine stores intermediate data generated for each product based on social media data including statements on a plurality of products. The intermediate data about each of the products includes at least a frequency of statements on each of the products for a predetermined period of time. The products include a first product that is not displayed for provision to a consumer at a present time, or at least a second product that has been displayed for provision at the present time. The calculating machine stores sales amount data indicating a sales amount of the second product, and calculates a social media correlation degree indicating a correlation between the intermediate data about the first product and the intermediate data about the second product to predict a sales amount of the first product based on the calculated social media correlation degree and the sales amount data about the second product.

主权项

1. A calculating machine, comprising:
a processor; and a memory, wherein the calculating machine stores intermediate data generated for each of a plurality of products or services based on social media data including statements on the products or services for a predetermined period of time in the memory, the intermediate data includes at least a frequency of statements on each of the products or services for the predetermined period of time, the products or services include a first product or service that is not displayed for provision to a consumer at a present time, and at least a second product or service that has been displayed for provision at the present time, and the calculating machine stores sales amount data indicating a sales amount of the second product or service in the memory, and includes a correlation degree calculation unit configured to calculate a social media correlation degree indicating a correlation between the intermediate data about the first product or service and the intermediate data about the second product or service, and a demand prediction unit configured to predict a sales amount of the first product or service based on the calculated social media correlation degree and the sales amount data about the second product or service.
