  • Patent number: 11762918
    Abstract: A search apparatus causes a first learning process using a first sample size and a first hyperparameter value to be executed, and causes a second learning process using the first sample size and a second hyperparameter value to be executed. When a third learning process using a second sample size larger than the first sample size and the first hyperparameter value has not been executed, the search apparatus calculates total resources associated with the first sample size based on resources used by the first and second learning processes. If the total resources exceed a threshold, the search apparatus allows the third learning process to be executed. If the total resources are equal to or less than the threshold, the search apparatus withholds the execution of the third learning process, and allows a fourth learning process using the first sample size or smaller and a third hyperparameter value to be executed.
