  • Publication number: 20230214695
    Abstract: Aspects relate to providing a counterfactual inference management technique capable of providing increased flexibility to allow users to select an appropriate counterfactual inference and offering scalability for handling tabular data and image data in a single configuration. A counterfactual inference management device comprising a classifier unit trained to determine whether a set of input data that includes a set of data features achieves a predetermined target and a counterfactual inference unit for generating a set of transformed data in which a subset of the set of data features are modified to counterfactual features. The classifier unit processes the set of transformed data to determine whether it achieves the predetermined target and calculates a counterfactual loss. The counterfactual inference unit is trained to reduce the counterfactual loss and generate a set of transformed data including counterfactual features that achieve the predetermined target.

  • Publication number: 20230169400
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus stores an analysis target data group having values of respective variables in a variable group and a value of an objective variable per analysis target, and an element group that the variable group and each of one or more modulation method(s) for modulating the variable(s) are set as elements. When the element selected from the element group is acquired, a modulation function of modulating the value of the variable which is contained in the acquired element is planned on the basis of the history of the acquired element; and the value of the variable per the analysis target is modulated on the basis of the modulation function. Image data are generated which gives a point of coordinates which are values of the modulation result and the objective variable defined by a first axis and a second axis, respectively, per the analysis target.

An energy map is generated on a predetermined tomographic plane, assuming a preset start point as a reference and searching for a path that minimizes the energy, and then the path is set as a boundary of the three-dimensional ROI. The start point may be decided on the basis of the boundary inputted by a user, or the user may set the start point. The user may be allowed to adjust the boundary having been set. The boundary may also be determined on another plane orthogonal to the predetermined tomographic plane.
