  • Publication number: 20240241031
    Abstract: In the classification model generation method, for each particle contained in a first sample containing a mixture of particles having specific morphological characteristics and other particles and a second sample that does not contain particles having the specific morphological characteristics but contains only the other particles, observation data indicating a result of observing the particle is acquired. By training using training data including the observation data and information indicating whether the observation data has been obtained from a particle contained in the first sample or the second sample, a classification model is generated that outputs discrimination information indicating whether or not a particle has the specific morphological characteristics when the observation data indicating a result of observing the particle is input.
