  • Publication number: 20260141296
    Abstract: There is provided a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein a training program for causing a computer to execute a process, in training a machine learning model capable of generating self-sampled data based on a probability distribution estimated for sampled data. The process includes generating the self-sampled data from the machine learning model in process of training, and training the machine learning model so that a third loss function becomes small. The third loss function includes a first loss function of unsupervised training based on the sampled data and a second loss function of supervised training based on the sampled data and the self-sampled data.

  • Publication number: 20260017336
    Abstract: A storage unit stores evaluation function information of an evaluation function of a combinatorial optimization problem including a sum of an objective function and one or more constraint functions including a first constraint function weighted by a first coefficient (t) representing a weight of a first constraint condition. When repeatedly executing a local search for searching for a solution candidate (x*) of the combinatorial optimization problem using the evaluation function information while changing a value of t, a processing unit changes the value of t in a direction in which a value (V(x*)) of the first constraint function corresponding to x* obtained by the local search using each value of t approaches a target value (Vtarget) that is a positive value.

  • Publication number: 20250363188
    Abstract: Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein a learning program for causing a computer to execute a process. The process includes a first process of generating a probability distribution model by learning a probability distribution having fewer peaks than an objective probability distribution, and a second process of generating a new probability distribution model by learning a probability distribution closer to the objective probability distribution than a learned probability distribution using a parameter of a generated probability distribution model.

  • Publication number: 20250217682
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining replicas that represent estimated states of a system. A first replica having the lowest temperature in a first set of temperatures may be identified and written to a first state of a memory. The method may include performing a first Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) trial on each replica to simulate the effects of a change in the temperature of the respective replica. A second replica having the lowest temperature in a second set of temperatures may be identified and written to a second state of the memory. A first and second multiplicity of the first and second replicas may be calculated, the multiplicities representing estimations of the quantities of MCMC trials which would result in rejection. A representation of an end state of the system may be generated based on the first replica, the second replica, the first multiplicity, and the second multiplicity.

  • Publication number: 20240111833
    Abstract: A storing unit stores, amongst coefficients, values of a coefficient group associated with one selected from multiple variable groups, which are obtained by dividing state variables of an evaluation function. A searching unit searches for a solution to an optimization problem by repeating update processing, which includes calculating, using the values of the coefficient group, a value change of the evaluation function responsive to changing the value of each state variable of the variable group and changing the value of one state variable thereof based on the value change and temperature. A processing unit calculates multiplicity indicating the iteration count in which the values of the variable group are maintained in a search using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), and causes, responsive to cumulated multiplicity exceeding a threshold, the searching unit to perform the update processing using the values of the coefficient group associated with a different variable group.

  • Publication number: 20220366011
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process that includes executing search processing that repeatedly execute selecting, determining, and state changing according to a predetermined order for searching for a solution to a problem represented by an energy function including a plurality of state variables. The search processing includes counting a number of times it is determined that the value of the state variable of a change candidate is not to be continuously changed, and correcting, with an offset, a change amount of the energy function corresponding to the change in the value of the state variable of the change candidate when the counted number of times reaches a predetermined number. The determining includes determine, after the change amount is corrected, whether to change the value of the state variable of the change candidate based on the corrected change amount is performed.
