  • Patent number: 11315033
    Abstract: A computer system includes a storage device and a processor configured to operate in accordance with command codes stored in the storage device. The processor places a plurality of feature vectors including feature vectors each provided with a label in a feature space. The processor determines forces among the plurality of feature vectors determined from repulsions and attractions between feature vectors. A repulsion is defined to be larger when a distance between the feature vectors is shorter, and an attraction is defined to be larger when the feature vectors have a predetermined relationship. The processor rearranges the plurality of feature vectors to reduce potential energy of the feature space determined by the forces among the plurality of feature vectors. The processor outputs at least a part of the plurality of rearranged feature vectors as data to be used for data analysis.

  • Patent number: 10963805
    Abstract: The present invention solves a problem that there may be a case that an estimated value of regression cannot be calculated depending on a discrimination result when a regression method is applied after a discrimination method, and has a purpose to obtain an estimating equation with high accuracy even when the number of sample groups to which the regression method is applied is small. An estimating equation that satisfies the regression and discrimination at the same time can be obtained by combining a discrimination evaluation function that evaluates discrimination accuracy and a regression evaluation function that evaluates regression accuracy, calculating a combination evaluation function, and optimizing the combination evaluation function.

  • Patent number: 10445353
    Abstract: Sentence polarity determination is used to assess whether a sentence is an affirmative expression or a negative expression, and is applied for reputation analysis, etc. Polarity determination determines whether an input sentence is affirmative or negative. When some subject is being talked about, it is sometimes desired to determine whether what is being referred to in the sentence is affirmative or negative, rather than the polarity of the sentence per se. The present invention provides a method for determining the polarity of the sentence by applying a recursive polarity rule based on a dependency structure of the sentence, taking into consideration the portion of the sentence that is being referred to. Use of a recursive rule makes it possible to prevent the number of rules from becoming huge, and thereby to perform efficient polarity determination in terms of memory amount and calculation amount. The length of the dependency needed for polarity determination can also be efficiently controlled.
