  • Publication number: 20230229977
    Abstract: Provided is a system for estimating a subjective evaluation by an estimation subject. This system for estimating a subjective evaluation by an estimation subject comprises: a reception means that receives feature data of a biosignal acquired from the estimation subject; a storage means that stores a plurality of feature templates extracted from a plurality of biosignals acquired from a plurality of subjects to be modeled including a first subject to be modeled and a second subject to be modeled, or that stores a plurality of models trained using said feature templates; and an estimation means that estimates a subjective evaluation by the estimation subject on the basis of the feature data and the plurality of feature templates or the plurality of models.

  • Patent number: 11408618
    Abstract: Provided is an indoor unit of an air-conditioner including: an indoor unit body configured to be provided in a ceiling; a suction port attached to a lower surface of the indoor unit body; a panel including a blow port for blowing conditioned air into a room; and a louver provided at the blow port of the panel to change an air sending direction. The panel includes an outer frame provided outside the blow port and provided with a substantially horizontal flat portion, and a protruding portion provided on the flat portion of the outer frame and protruding vertically downward. A lower end of the protruding portion is positioned vertically above a lower end of the louver. A lower end of an inner flow path wall surface forming a flow path wall surface inside the blow port is positioned vertically below the lower end of the louver.

  • Publication number: 20220211324
    Abstract: Provided is a method for building a model for identifying a reaction of an organism, the method comprising: acquiring a reaction data from an organism, including: acquiring a first reaction data on the organism being in the first state and stimulation is applied to the organism; acquiring a second reaction data on the organism being in the first state and no stimulation is applied to the organism; acquiring a third reaction data on the organism being in the second state and stimulation is applied to the organism; and acquiring a fourth reaction data on the organism being in the second state and no stimulation is applied to the organism; and building a model unique to the organism for identifying the reaction of the organism, based on the acquired first to fourth reaction data.

  • Publication number: 20220207425
    Abstract: The problem to be solved is to provide a system and the like for augmenting supervisory data while maintaining the relationship among a plurality supervisory data used for machine learning. The present disclosure provides a system for augmenting supervisory data used for machine learning, the system including an obtaining means that obtains a plurality of supervisory data, a first processing means that derives a covariance matrix from the plurality of supervisory data, a second processing means that decomposes the covariance matrix, and a third processing means that applies a random number to the decomposed matrix.
