  • Patent number: 11562295
    Abstract: A memory stores graph information representing a graph that includes nodes and inter-node edges. The nodes include a first plurality of nodes each associated with node information and a first node. Each of the inter-node edges has a weight. A processor extracts, in accordance with the node information, two or more nodes and transforms the two or more nodes into an aggregate node. The processor generates an aggregate inter-node edge between the aggregate node and the first node. The aggregate inter-node edge is associated with a weight based on two or more weights associated with two or more inter-node edges between the two or more nodes and the first node. The processor estimates first node information to be associated with the first node based on transformed graph information representing a transformed graph including the aggregate node and the aggregate inter-node edge.

  • Patent number: 11308181
    Abstract: A first time-series data set indicating first measured values obtained by a first device and a second time-series data set indicating second measured values obtained by a second device are obtained. First alignment is performed to convert the positions in the time domain of the first measured values belonging to a second period, based on the first measured values belonging to a first period. Second alignment is performed to convert the positions in the time domain of the second measured values belonging to the second period, based on a relationship between positions before and after the conversion. Correlation analysis is performed between third and fourth time-series data sets respectively obtained by the first and second alignment. The existence or absence of an inclusion relationship in which the second measured values contain a component of the first measured values is determined based on the correlation analysis result.
