Abstract: An information processing device acquires character strings in respective cells that are included in a first table and a second table in document data. When acquiring a character string, the device may identify the characters included in the character string by using a pre-trained model that has been trained in advance through machine learning. The device determines whether the second table corresponds to the first table based on similarities between character strings in cells that are included in the first table and character strings in cells that are included in the second table. When determining that the second table corresponds to the first table, the device identifies a difference between the character strings in the cells that are included in the first table and the character strings in the cells that are included in the second table and correspond to the cells included in the first table.
