Abstract: An image quality improvement system includes: an image quality improvement unit that improves the image quality of a low quality image; a deformation prediction unit that predicts a deformation amount that has occurred between a first low quality image and a different second low quality image, included in a series of input low quality images; and a deformation correction unit that corrects, based on the deformation amount predicted by the deformation prediction unit, one of a first prediction image obtained by applying processing by the image quality improvement unit to the first low quality image, the second low quality image, or a second prediction image obtained by applying processing by the image quality improvement unit to the second low quality image. The image quality improvement system learns to reduce the evaluation of a loss function between the first prediction and the second low quality image or the second prediction image.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an image classification device and a method therefor with which suitable teaching data can be created. An image classification device that carries out image classification using images which are in a class to be classified and include teaching information, and images which are in a class not to be classified and to which teaching information has not been assigned, said image classification device being characterized by being provided with: an image group input unit for receiving inputs of an image group belonging to a class to be classified and an image group belonging to a class not to be classified; and a subclassification unit for extracting a feature amount for each image in an image group, clustering the feature amounts of the images in the image group belonging to a class not to be classified, and thereby dividing the images into sub-classes.

Abstract: A machine learning system performs transfer learning to output a trained model by performing training using a parameter of a pre-trained model by using a given dataset and a given pre-trained model. The machine learning system includes a dataset storage unit that stores one or more datasets, and a first training unit that performs training using a dataset stored in the dataset storage unit to generate the pre-trained model, and stores the generated pre-trained model in a pre-trained model database. The dataset storage unit stores tag information including any one or more of domain information indicating a target object of data included in a dataset to be stored, class information indicating a class included in data, and data acquisition condition information related to an acquisition condition of data and a dataset in a manner that the tag information and the dataset are associated with each other.
