Abstract: An image data processing system has a learning storage apparatus that stores projection matrixes obtained by canonical correlation analysis so as to derive, based on at least one of an image feature and a word feature, a latent variable as an abstract concept used for associating an image with a word corresponding thereto and that further stores information required for obtaining the latent variable acquired by use of the projection matrixes, a probability of occurrence of an arbitrary image feature from a certain latent variable and a probability of occurrence of an arbitrary word feature from a certain latent variable. In this way, a probability of the image feature and word feature being simultaneously outputted can be easily and quickly determined, thereby executing a high-speed annotation or retrieval with high precision.
