  • Publication number: 20220147620
    Abstract: An evaluation device receives input of latent variables of a variational autoencoder, clusters the input latent variables, and assigns, for each cluster, a label indicating the cluster to latent variables belonging to the cluster. After that, the evaluation device performs learning of a classifier so as to accurately classify the latent variables based on the assigned label, performs an adversarial attack resistance evaluation for the classifier after learning, and outputs a result of the resistance evaluation. Thus, the evaluation device can perform an adversarial attack resistance evaluation even for a variational autoencoder that uses unlabeled data as input data.

  • Publication number: 20210264285
    Abstract: An acquisition unit (15a) acquires data output by sensors. A learning unit (15b) substitutes a prior distribution of an encoder in a generative model including the encoder and a decoder and representing a probability distribution of the data with a marginalized posterior distribution that marginalizes the encoder, approximates a Kullback-Leibler information quantity using a density ratio between a standard Gaussian distribution and the marginalized posterior distribution, and learns the generative model using data.
