To infer map display information through learning.SOLUTION: An inference apparatus includes: an acquisition unit which acquires geographic data related to a zone including a specific spot; and an inference unit which infers the specific spot from first language representation on the specific spot and the geographic data acquired by the acquisition unit, based on a result of learning an association between an arbitrary spot, the first language representation on the arbitrary spot, and geographic data on a zone including the arbitrary spot. The inference unit may specify multiple image feature quantities from map images or feature images included in the geographic data acquired by the acquisition unit, specify multiple language feature quantities from the first language representation on the specific spot, and infer a specific spot from the multiple image feature quantities on the specific spot and the multiple language feature quantities.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】学習によって地図表示情報を推論する。【解決手段】推論装置は、特定の地点を含む区域に関する地理データを取得する取得部と、任意の地点に関する第１言語表現および任意の地点を含む区域に関する地理データと、任意の地点との対応関係の学習結果に基づき、特定の地点に関する第１言語表現および取得部によって取得された地理データから特定の地点を推論する推論部とを備える。推論部は、取得部によって取得された地理データに含まれる複数の地図画像または地物画像から複数の画像特徴量を特定し、特定の地点に関する第１言語表現から複数の言語特徴量を特定し、特定の地点に関する複数の画像特徴量および複数の言語特徴量から特定の地点を推論してもよい。【選択図】図１
