Patent number: 5832470Abstract: A document information classification method and apparatus for classifying a document group and arranging a classified result hierarchically on the basis of key words given to the document group and words appearing in documents without dependence on a prescribed classification system. The document group of a document data base and a key word group given to each document of a key word data base are managed by a data management unit. A document classification unit classifies documents into folders on the basis of individual key words and stores them. The folders having similar document groups are integrated. Whether the integration is effective or not is judged upon integration. Whether the inside of the integrated folder and the inside of unintegrated folders can be classified in detail or not is judged and a hierarchical classification system is prepared. A classified result is produced in CRT by a classified result output unit to provide environment in which a user can read out the classified result.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1995Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takako Morita, Junichi Higashino, Yoshiki Matsuda, Tetsuya Hashimoto

Patent number: 5555439Abstract: A neural network learning system using back propagation and a method of learning pattern showing are disclosed. In the case where a supervised signal contains an error or a pattern difficult to learn, the error is detected and the particular pattern is automatically removed during calculations of learning iterations to conduct rightly and accelerate the learning. The learning history for each pattern is stored to detect inconsistent and difficult-to-learn patterns, which are prevented from being shown to the network by a pattern showing control during the next learning iteration. As a result, an inconsistent or difficult-to-learn pattern which may be contained in a learning pattern set of input and supervised patterns is removed during learning iterations thereby to permit early completion of the learning process.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1992Date of Patent: September 10, 1996Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Seibu Soft Ware Co., Ltd.Inventors: Junichi Higashino, Kazuhiko Kawasaki, Miyuki Hara

Patent number: 5390284Abstract: A neural network (100) has an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The neural network stores weight values which operate on data input at the input layer to generate output data at the output layer. An error computing unit (87) receives the output data and compares it with desired output data from a learning data storage unit (105) to calculate error values representing the difference. An error gradient computing unit (81) calculates an error gradient, i.e. rate and direction of error change. A ratio computing unit (82) computes a ratio or percentage of a prior conjugate vector and combines the ratio with the error gradient. A conjugate vector computing unit (83) generates a present line search conjugate vector from the error gradient value and a previously calculated line search gradient vector. A line search computing unit (95) includes a weight computing unit (88) which calculates a weight correction value.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1992Date of Patent: February 14, 1995Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hisao Ogata, Hiroshi Sakou, Masahiro Abe, Junichi Higashino

Patent number: 5321423Abstract: In a document information system and a method for realizing such a system, document data are transferred and displayed at a high speed. In response to an operation made from a terminal apparatus, the document data which have been stored via communication apparatus into a data storage apparatus are read out, and the read document data are temporarily stored before being transmitted by employing the communication apparatus. In the terminal apparatus, the received document data are temporarily stored as display data, and additionally the display data are swapped to a secondary storage device in such a case that a total amount of the temporarily stored data exceeds a predetermined capacity. Then, the display data may be transferred from either the terminal apparatus, or the secondary storage device to a display buffer and then may be displayed in a unit of representation.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1990Date of Patent: June 14, 1994Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Yoshizawa, Kanji Kato, Seiji Kashioka, Atsushi Hatakeyama, Junichi Higashino

Patent number: 5313559Abstract: A learning control method reduces overall learning time by displaying data related to an appropriate determination of learning protraction and a proper restoring method. Prior to initiating the learning, the user is inquired about the current problem and a problem data set representing items associated with the problem is obtained. Evaluation data indicating a state of learning obtained during the learning on the current problem is sequentially stored and displayed. When there is a high possibility of learning protraction during the learning, a message informing the user is displayed. When the learning is stopped by the user in this case, the problem data set and evaluation data set are stored. Then, a list of restoring methods is displayed and a particular restoring method is selected by the user once the learning is stopped. The learning is restarted on the current problem in accordance with the selected restoring method.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1992Date of Patent: May 17, 1994Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hisao Ogata, Hiroshi Sakou, Masahiro Abe, Junichi Higashino

Patent number: 5212767Abstract: A multi-layer neural network comprising an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer and a learning method for such a network are disclosed. A processor belonging to the hidden layer stores both the factors of multiplication or weights of link for a successive layer nearer to the input layer and the factors of multiplication or weights of link for a preceding layer nearer to the output layer. Namely, the weight for a certain connection is doubly stored in processors which are at opposite ends of that connection. Upon forward calculation, the access to the weights for the successive layer among the weights stored in the processors of the hidden layer can be made by the processors independently from each other. Similarly, upon backward calculation, the access to weights for the preceding layer can be made by the processors independently from each other.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1990Date of Patent: May 18, 1993Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Junichi Higashino, Hitoshi Matsushima
