  • Patent number: 11551818
    Abstract: There is provided is a computer system that outputs a predicted value of data to be evaluated using a predictor generated using learning data. The computer system includes the predictor; an index calculation unit that calculates an interpretation index of the data to be evaluated; and an extraction unit that selects the learning data useful for a user to interpret the predicted value of the data to be evaluated, wherein index management information for managing an interpretation index of the learning data is stored, the index calculation unit calculates the interpretation index of the data to be evaluated, and the extraction unit calculates a selection index based on the interpretation index of the data to be evaluated and the interpretation index of the learning data, selects the learning data based on the selection index, and outputs display information for presenting information indicating a processing result.

  • Publication number: 20220351094
    Abstract: Fairness of automated assessments of AI has become a significant issue in recent years, and techniques for adjusting assessment results are being sought. This information processing system is configured to include: a first predicting unit which outputs an assessed value from input information that does not include sensitive attribute information a user has decided is not to be input; a second predicting unit which has been trained in advance, using teacher data, to estimate the sensitive attribute information that the user has decided is not to be input, and which estimates the sensitive attribute information from the input information that does not include the sensitive attribute information; and a first quantizing unit which, on the basis of the estimated value of the sensitive attribute information obtained from the second predicting unit, adjusts the assessed value output by the first predicting unit, and outputs an assessment result.

  • Patent number: 11443204
    Abstract: A computer system stores interpretation factor conversion information for managing an interpretation factor interpreting a basis of a prediction result for input data, the interpretation factor is determined by a value of each of a plurality of feature quantities contained in the input data including values of the plurality of feature quantities, and a first evaluation value of each of the plurality of feature quantities contained in the input data. When evaluation target data is input, the computer system calculates a prediction result, calculates a contribution value of each of the plurality feature quantities contained in the evaluation target data, specifies a corresponding interpretation factor, based on a value and a contribution value of each of the plurality of feature quantities contained in the evaluation target data, by referring to the interpretation factor conversion information, and generates and outputs display information for presenting the specified interpretation factor.

  • Publication number: 20190050684
    Abstract: Proposed are a machine learning device and a machine learning method capable of performing machine learning in a short time and an efficient manner. For each learning target, image processing having a high learning effect regarding the learning target is set in advance. When image processing has been set regarding a learning target included in the image for each image based on teaching data set prepared in advance, a processed image of the image is generated by performing the image processing to that image. By learning a learning target with image data of the generated processed image as the teaching data, basic learning information configured from externally acquired basic learning results can be tuned.
