LEARNING METHOD, CLUSTERING METHOD, LEARNING APPARATUS, CLUSTERING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18043166 Titled 'LEARNING METHOD, CLUSTERING METHOD, LEARNING APPARATUS, CLUSTERING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a learning method that uses a computer to process data. The method involves inputting data and labels representing clusters to which the data belongs. The data is then converted using a neural network to generate representation data. The representation data is then clustered, and an evaluation scale is calculated to measure the performance of the clustering. Based on this evaluation, the method learns and adjusts the parameters of the neural network.


Original Abstract Submitted

A learning method, executed by a computer including a memory and a processor, includes: inputting a plurality of items of data, and a plurality of labels representing clusters to which the plurality of items of data belong; converting each of the plurality of items of data by a predetermined neural network, to generate a plurality of items of representation data; clustering the plurality of items of representation data; calculating a predetermined evaluation scale indicating performance of the clustering, based on the clustering result and the plurality of labels; and learning a parameter of the neural network, based on the evaluation scale.
