  • Publication number: 20250029155
    Abstract: Based on a relation model representing a relationship between first data and second data, second data in an evaluation period is calculated from first data in the evaluation period. An evaluation value pertaining to the evaluation period is calculated by using an evaluation model and the calculated second data in the evaluation period, the evaluation model including the second data as a parameter. First data in the evaluation period in a case in which the calculated evaluation value increases are determined.

  • Publication number: 20240037177
    Abstract: In an optimization device, an acquisition means acquires a reward obtained by executing a certain policy. An updating means updates a probability distribution of the policy based on the obtained reward. Here, the updating means uses a weighted sum of the probability distributions updated in a past as a constraint. A determination means determines the policy to be executed, based on the updated probability distributions.
