An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a selection unit, an extraction unit and a reconfiguration unit. The acquiring unit acquires a processing element group configured by successively connecting a plurality of processing elements for processing information, the information including a plurality of attributes. The selection unit selects, among the attributes, an attribute that allows a reduction in an information amount of the information when the attribute is modified. The extraction unit extracts, among the processing element group and processing elements that are functional equivalents of each of the processing elements, a processing element capable of processing the information of which the selected attribute is modified. The reconfiguration unit places an attribute modification element anterior to the extracted processing element to reconfigure the processing element group, the attribute modification element for modifying the selected attribute, the extracted processing element placed alone or in connected relation.
