Patent number: 11513107Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) acquires a feature vector (20) obtained based on signal data (14) of a detected value of a sensor (10) that senses gas to be measured. The information processing apparatus (2000) decomposes the feature vector (20) into a product of a coefficient vector and a feature matrix by using a non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). The detected value of the sensor (10) changes according to an attachment and a detachment of a molecule contained in a sensed gas. A value of each element of the feature vector (20) is equal to or greater than zero.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Riki Eto, Hiromi Shimizu

Patent number: 11443219Abstract: A model estimation system estimates a model of a system represented by an ordinary differential equation with all coefficients being non-zero, and with which input data and a state at each time can be obtained. When an order of the ordinary differential equation and input data and a state at multiple past times in the system are inputted, a model expression construction unit constructs an expression representing a model by using a first matrix that is a matrix according to the order and has only some elements as unknown elements and a second matrix that is a matrix according to the order and has only some one element as an unknown element. A model estimation unit uses input data and a state at multiple past times, to estimate the model by learning unknown elements of the first matrix and the unknown element of the second matrix.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Riki Eto, Yoshio Kameda
