  • Publication number: 20190012580
    Abstract: A neural network capturing a minute pattern variation useful for recognition while maintaining robustness against a pattern variation unrelated to recognition is learned. A preprocessing unit performs, on a set of patterns being to be learned and including a specific pattern variation, a plurality of preprocesses causing different degrees of the specific pattern variation. A network structure determination unit determines, for each of the plurality of preprocesses, a network structure of a neural network having robustness according to a degree of the specific pattern variation after the preprocess. A network learning unit learns, for each of the plurality of preprocesses, the neural network with the network structure associated with the preprocess using the set of patterns after the preprocess.
