1. A device comprising:
a storage that stores a trained neural network into which first natural language text is input and that is trained to output second natural language text and alignment information, the second natural language text being in accordance with a predetermined purpose corresponding to the first natural language text, and the alignment information indicating, for each part of the second natural language text, which part of the first natural language text is a basis of information for generation; and
a hardware processor that, when reading and executing the trained neural network:
inputs text into the trained neural network; and
outputs a predicted result of output text in accordance with a predetermined purpose, and alignment information indicating, for each part of the predicted result of the output text, which part of the input text is a basis of information for generation.
