  • Patent number: 11475292
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of processors enters, to a model representing a neural network and including a common first weight, first data different from that used by the other processors, calculates an error gradient for the first weight, and integrates the gradients calculated by each processor. Each processor stores the first weight in a memory and updates the weight of the model to a second weight based on a hyperparameter value different from those used by the other processors, the integrated error gradient, and the first weight. Each processor enters common second data to the model, compares the evaluation results acquired by each processor, and selects a common hyperparameter value. Each processor updates the weight of the model to a third weight based on the selected hyperparameter value, the integrated error gradient, and the first weight stored in the memory.
