  • Patent number: 11509550
    Abstract: A cooperative learning system usable for process monitoring in which a monitoring model is provided for each of plural processes arranged in chronological order at predetermined transition time period intervals. The system stores, in chronological order, first monitoring data in a first process, second monitoring data in a second process, and at least one monitoring result from the first process output from a first monitoring model using the first monitoring data as an input parameter. The system performs parent model learning processing for the first monitoring model using the first monitoring data and the monitoring result from the first monitoring model, and performs child model learning processing for a second monitoring model using a monitoring result from the first monitoring model at a first time as teacher data and using the second monitoring data at a second time shifted from the first time by a transition period as an input parameter.
