  • Patent number: 11526783
    Abstract: An abnormality determination device includes one or more processors. The processors input first input data to a first model to obtain first output data. The first output data is formed by restoring data with the reduced dimension to data with the same dimension as that of the first input data. The processors input second input data, which is a difference between the first input data and the first output data, to a second model, and obtain second output data. The second output data is formed by restoring data with the reduced dimension to data with the same dimension as that of the second input data. The processors obtain restored data that is a sum of the first output data and the second output data. The processors compare the first input data with the restored data and determine an abnormality in the first input data based on the comparison result.
