  • Publication number: 20200410325
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes one or more hardware processors. The hardware processors obtain a first categorical distribution sequence corresponding to first input data and obtain a second categorical distribution sequence corresponding to second input data neighboring the first input data, by using a prediction model outputting a categorical distribution sequence representing a sequence of L categorical distributions for a single input data piece, where, L is a natural number of two or more. The hardware processors calculate, for each i of 1 to L, an inter-distribution distance between i-th categorical distributions in the first and second categorical distribution sequences. The hardware processors calculate a sum of L inter-distribution distances. The hardware processors update the prediction model's parameters to lessen the sum.
