According to one embodiment, an information processing method includes: calculating a first feature amount of query data in a first field; calculating first similarity degrees between the first feature amount and second feature amounts in the first field; obtaining, based on the first similarity degrees, third feature amounts in a second field that are associated with feature amounts selected from the second feature amounts, the second field being different from the first field; calculating fourth feature amounts in the second field, for choices concerning the query data; calculating second similarity degrees between the third feature amounts and the fourth feature amounts; and selecting, based on the second similarity degrees, an answer to the query data among answer candidates corresponding to the third feature amounts.
