  • Publication number: 20180247240
    Abstract: Information appropriate for supporting various judgments in organization activities is provided. A judgment support system for supporting a user's judgment, includes: a processor that executes a program; a storage section that can be accessed by the processor; and an output section that outputs data for displaying an execution result of the program. The judgment support system further includes: an extraction section that searches a predetermined sentence expression from data stored in the storage section, and extracts an issue of an organization using text having a predetermined relationship with the searched sentence expression; and a first selection section that selects a second organization confronted with an issue similar to an issue of a first organization to be analyzed, and that selects measures against the issue of the second organization from the data stored in the storage section. The output section outputs data for displaying the selected issue and the selected measures.

  • Publication number: 20120016816
    Abstract: A controller of a distributed computing system assigns feature vectors, and assigns data processors and a model updater to first computers. The data processors have charge of iteration calculation of machine learning algorithms, acquire the feature vectors over a network when starting learning, and store the feature vectors in a local storage. In iteration of second and subsequent learning processes, the data processors load the feature vectors from the local storage, and conduct the learning process. The feature vectors are retained in the local storage till completion of learning. The data processors send only the learning results to the model updater, and waits for a next input from the model updater. The model updater conducts the initialization, integration, and convergence check of the model parameters, completes the processing if the model parameters are converged, and transmits new model parameters to the data processor if the model parameters are not converged.
