  • Publication number: 20230054096
    Abstract: A processor derives a first feature amount for an object included in an image by a first neural network, structures a sentence including description of the object included in the image to derive structured information for the sentence, and derives a second feature amount for the sentence from the structured information by a second neural network. The processor trains the first neural network and the second neural network such that, in a feature space to which the first feature amount and the second feature amount belong, a distance between the derived first feature amount and second feature amount is reduced in a case in which the object included in the image and the object described in the sentence correspond to each other.

  • Publication number: 20230030794
    Abstract: A processor derives a first feature amount for an object included in an image by a first neural network, and derives a second feature amount for a sentence including description of an object by a second neural network. The processor acquires each of a first attribute, which is an attribute of the object included in the image, and a second attribute, which is an attribute of the sentence. The processor trains the first and second neural networks such that, in a feature space to which first and second feature amounts belong, as relevance of a combination of the first and the second attributes is higher a distance between the derived first feature amount and second feature amount is smaller.
