  • Patent number: 10444742
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a material recommendation apparatus includes an extractor, a creator, a matcher and a recommender. The extractor extracts information about a substance as a candidate for a material for an industrial product, a property of the substance, and a report time of the property from an electronic document. The creator creates, for each substance, time series data in which the property is associated with the report time. The matcher matches the time series data with a pattern. The recommender recommends, as the material, a substance corresponding to time series data that matches the pattern.
