An information processing device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: accept specification of a feature region that includes a characteristic portion in a learning image; create first data that indicates a degree of overlap between the feature region and each of divided regions obtained by dividing the learning image; perform image conversion on the learning image by an image classification program in which element filters are combined; calculate an image feature value of each of the divided regions from an image obtained; create second data that indicates the image feature value corresponding to each of the divided regions; calculate a similarity between the first data and the second data; and use a result of evaluating the image classification program on the basis of the similarity, for execution of a genetic programming.
