A method for information processing includes a learning process to generate a tree structured dictionary based on a plurality of patterns including a target object to be recognized. The method includes selecting a plurality of points from an input pattern based on a distribution of a probability that the target object to be recognized is present in the input pattern at each node of a tree structure generated in the learning process, and classifying the input pattern into a branch based on a value of a predetermined function that corresponds to values of the input pattern at selected plurality of points.
