  • Publication number: 20240127089
    Abstract: In an inference device, an observation input means receives an observation as an input. A hypothesis candidate generation means generates hypothesis candidates by applying inference knowledge to the observation in the backward direction. The problem conversion means converts the hypothesis candidate into an ILP problem or a SAT problem. An equivalent problem generation means generates a specified number of equivalent ILP problems or equivalent SAT problems in which an order of the variables included in the converted ILP problem or SAT problem is changed. The solver parallelization means solves the generated equivalent ILP problems or equivalent SAT problems by executing a specified number of identical ILP solvers or SAT solvers in parallel. The optimal solution output means outputs a result of the ILP solver or the SAT solver that output the result first, among the specified number of ILP solvers or SAT solvers, as the optimal solution.

  • Publication number: 20230252321
    Abstract: In an inference device, an acquisition means acquires first observation data and first knowledge base which is formed by a rule representing a pair of a premise and a consequence of the premise. A rule conversion means reverses the premise and the consequence of the rule forming the first knowledge base, and generates a second knowledge base formed by a rule deriving the premise from the consequence. An inference execution means executes an abductive inference using the second knowledge base and the first observation data, and generates a first hypothesis set represented by a directed graph. A data extraction means extracts an element serving as a starting point in the directed graph representing the first hypothesis set, and generates second observation data. Accordingly, the inference execution means executes the abductive inference by using the first knowledge base and the second observation data, and generates a second hypothesis set.
