Abstract

According to one embodiment, an information processing device includes an anomaly detector and an integration unit. The anomaly detector is configured to estimate a degree of drift anomaly based on measured values of a sensor during a sub-period which is a part of a monitored period. The integration unit is configured to estimate the degree of drift anomaly accumulated within the monitored period based on the estimated degrees of drift anomaly accumulated within the sub-periods. Symptoms of a drift anomaly include mismatches between the actual values and measured values.
