Abstract: Each of information processing apparatuses generates a local model by performing machine learning of a global model using local data. Each of the information processing apparatuses calculates an evaluation value according to an evaluation index. The information processing apparatuses exchange the calculated evaluation values by proximity communication. Each of the information processing apparatuses determines whether the evaluation value of the information processing apparatus has a high evaluation or not based on a result of comparison between the evaluation value and evaluation values of the other information processing apparatuses. At least one of the information processing apparatuses that has determined that the evaluation value has the high evaluation transmits local model information indicating the generated local model to a server apparatus.
