Abstract: By deleting a small area from an initial boundary image, a provisional boundary image is obtained (Step S211). A thinning processing is performed on the provisional boundary image to shape the image, and a thickening processing is performed on the thinned image to obtain a mask image (Steps S212 to S214). By masking the initial boundary image with the mask image, an updated provisional boundary image is obtained (Step S215). In the updated provisional boundary image, end points adjacent to each other are connected (Step S216). By repeating Steps S212 to S216, a broken boundary is repaired. As a result, even if a boundary of a cell colony is blurred, an area of the cell colony can be specified easily and efficiently.

Abstract: In a prediction apparatus for a learning system, an obtaining unit obtains, as input variables, at least one parameter indicative of a structure of a convolutional neural network, the number of nodes of a learning system, and a sub-batch number indicative of the number of pieces of training data collectively processed by at least one graphic processing unit. A predictor predicts at least one of learning time and an average mini-batch size as a function of the input variables obtained by the obtainer. The learning time is time required for one update of all the weights by a central processing unit. The average mini-batch size is an average number of pieces of training data used for the one update of all the weights.
