  • Publication number: 20190347682
    Abstract: A feature selection unit 81 selects, from a set of features that can influence the sales volume of a product, a first feature set as a set of features that influence the sales volume and a second feature set as a set of features that influence a price of the product. A learning unit 82 learns a predictive model in which features included in the first feature set and the second feature set are set as explanatory variables, and the sales volume is set as a prediction target. An optimization unit 83 optimizes the price of the product under constraint conditions to increase a sales revenue defined by using the predictive model as an argument. Further, the learning unit 82 learns a predictive model in which at least one feature included in the second feature set but not included in the first feature set is set as an explanatory variable.

  • Patent number: 10228301
    Abstract: This invention provides a water-leakage state estimation system configured to estimate a state of a water leakage in a specific area of a water distribution network. A learning unit is configured to: receive labeled data, which is labeled so as to separate past flow rate data into abnormal values and normal values, and past environment state condition data; build a prediction model for predicting the normal values in the labeled data through learning; and determine a score parameter defining a length of a period involving data to be verified through learning as well. A water-leakage estimation unit is configured to: compare predicted flow rate data obtained by supplying current environment condition data into the prediction model and current flow rate data to produce error values; and calculate an average value of the error values in the period of a window width defined by the score parameter to estimate a water-leakage score representing a state of the water-leakage in the specific area.
