  • Patent number: 11907871
    Abstract: A generation device that generates a feature amount range visualization element that defines a continuous feature amount range for each of the factors based on time series data including feature amounts of different factors existing in time series and generates an inter-feature amount visualization element that defines relevance between a first feature amount of a first factor and a second feature amount of a second factor that are continuous in time. The device also generates visualization information indicating a relationship of the feature amounts related to the plurality of different factors by associating, by the inter-feature amount visualization element, a first feature amount range visualization element of the first factor with a second feature amount range visualization element of the second factor.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11636358
    Abstract: A data analysis apparatus executes: a selection process selecting a first feature variable group that is a trivial feature variable group contributing to prediction and a second feature data group other than the first feature variable group from a set of feature variables; an operation process operating a first regularization coefficient related to a first weight parameter group corresponding to the first feature variable group in a manner that the loss function is larger, and operating a second regularization coefficient related to a second weight parameter group corresponding to the second feature variable group in a manner that the loss function is smaller, among a set of weight parameters configuring a prediction model, in a loss function related to a difference between a prediction result output in a case of inputting the set of feature variables to the prediction model and ground truth data corresponding to the feature variables.
