  • Publication number: 20240112441
    Abstract: There is provided with an image processing apparatus. An extraction unit extracts a first feature from first data of a first modal type, the first data including information of a first object that is registered, and extract a second feature from second data of a second modal type that is different from the first modal type, the second data including information of a second object for matching. A determination unit determines whether or not the first object and the second object are identical, based on the first feature and the second feature. The extraction unit is trained to extract the first feature and the second feature to be similar when the first object and the second object are identical.

  • Publication number: 20230325671
    Abstract: The present disclosure makes it possible to learn a neural network architecture for achieving a sufficient inference accuracy while preventing an increase in the amount of processing. An information processing apparatus configured to learn an architecture for optimizing a structure of a neural network generates a plurality of candidates for an edge of the neural network, inputs learning data to the neural network with weight coefficients set to these candidates for the edge, and obtains an inference result. The information processing apparatus calculates a loss of the neural network based on a specified candidate number which is the number of candidates to be selected from the plurality of candidates and on the inference result, and then updates the weight coefficients for the plurality of candidates based on the loss. The information processing apparatus then selects candidates from the plurality of candidates based on the updated weight coefficients.
