Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a technique for performing learning of a neural network including an encoder and a decoder such that a certain latent variable included in a latent variable vector is larger or the certain latent variable included in the latent variable vector is smaller as a magnitude of a certain property included in an input vector is larger. A neural network learning device performs learning of a neural network including an encoder that converts an input vector into a latent variable vector and a decoder that converts the latent variable vector into an output vector such that the input vector and the output vector are substantially equal to each other, and the learning is performed to cause the latent variable to have monotonicity with respect to the input vector.
