Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a casing, an upper cover, a lateral cover and a closing position holding mechanism which holds the lateral cover in a closing position. The closing position holding mechanism includes an engaging part provided in the upper cover and an engaged part provided in the lateral cover. When the upper cover is displaced from the opening position to the closing position in the state where the lateral cover is in the closing position, the engaging part is engaged with the engaged part from an outside on the lateral side of the casing. When the upper cover is displaced from the closing position to the opening position in the state where the lateral cover is in the closing position, the engagement of the engaging part with the engaged part is released as the upper cover is displaced.

Abstract: In unsupervised interpretable machine learning, one or more datasets having multiple features can be received. A machine can be trained to jointly cluster and interpret resulting clusters of the dataset by at least jointly clustering the dataset into clusters and generating hyperplanes in a multi-dimensional feature space of the dataset, where the hyperplanes separate pairs of the clusters, where a hyperplane separates a pair of clusters. Jointly clustering the dataset into clusters and generating hyperplanes can repeat until convergence, where the clustering in a subsequent iteration uses the generated hyperplanes from a previous iteration to optimize performance of the clustering. The hyperplanes can be adjusted to further improve the performance of the clustering. The clusters and interpretation of the clusters can be provided, where a cluster's interpretation is provided based on hyperplanes that construct a polytope containing the cluster.
