To correct sales forecast in consideration of the influence of an unexpected event.SOLUTION: A sales forecast correction apparatus 100 includes a prediction unit 114 which calculates a degree of influence on sales forecast of a correction target company, using a machine learning technique, based on a result of aggregating relationship attributes between the correction target company for which sales forecast is to be corrected and a news article. The prediction unit 114 calculates the influence on the sales forecast of the correction target company with respect to a customer. The sales forecast correction apparatus 100 corrects sales forecast for the customer so that the sales forecast of the correction target company calculated based on the influence may be coincident with the sum of the sales forecast for the customer.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】突発的な事象による影響を考慮した売上見通しの補正を可能とする。【解決手段】売上見通し補正装置１００は、売上見通しの補正対象である補正対象企業とニュース記事との関連属性の集計結果を基に機械学習技術を用いて補正対象企業の売上見通しへの影響度を算出する予測部１１４を備える。さらに予測部１１４は、需要先に対する補正対象企業の売上見通しへの影響度を算出する。売上見通し補正装置１００は、影響度を基に算出される補正対象企業の売上見通しと、需要先への売上見通しの和とが一致するように、需要先への売上見通しを補正する。【選択図】図１
