  • Publication number: 20240281656
    Abstract: A learning device generates a first learned model by subjecting a learning model to learning such that a correlation coefficient between a first explanatory variable for learning and an explained variable output from the learning model is maximized when the learning model that outputs an explained variable in a case where an explanatory variable is input is subjected to learning on the basis of first learning data representing a pair of the first explanatory variable for learning and a first explained variable for learning. When the first learned model is subjected to relearning on the basis of the second learning data representing the pair of the second explanatory variable for learning and the second explained variable for learning, the learning device generates the second learned model by subjecting the first learned model to relearning such that the error between the second explained variable for learning and the explained variable output from the first learned model is minimized.

  • Publication number: 20240125968
    Abstract: An estimation device collects sensor data representing a change in a load along a time series as a change in a voltage value from a sensor that generates a voltage when a load applied to an area changes, and estimates a matter related to a measurement target passing through a predetermined area by using sensor data collected from the sensor installed in the predetermined area.

  • Patent number: 11877871
    Abstract: An infectious disease prevention supporting device according to an embodiment of the present invention is an infectious disease prevention supporting device including a processor. The processor is configured to perform a detection process that detects a motion of a forearm or a wrist by a user, a proximity determination process that determines whether the user's hand is in proximity to a mucosa of the user's face based on the motion detected by the detection process for a predetermined period of time, and a warning generation process that generates a warning to suppress the proximity of the user's hand to the mucosa when it is determined by the proximity determination process that the user's hand is in proximity to the mucosa.
