  • Patent number: 11922165
    Abstract: A storage stores observation data (a set of pairs each consists of a parameter vector value representing a point in a D-dimensional space and an observation value of an objective function at the point). A processor determines a low-dimensional search space (R (2?R<D)-dimensional affine subspace passes through a point represented by a parameter vector value in the D-dimensional space), extracts data (a set of pairs corresponding to points at which similarity to a point included in the search space are more than a predetermined value. The points are among points in the D-dimensional space represented by parameter vector values included in the observation data), and proposes a parameter vector value representing a next point based on the extracted data.

  • Patent number: 11526783
    Abstract: An abnormality determination device includes one or more processors. The processors input first input data to a first model to obtain first output data. The first output data is formed by restoring data with the reduced dimension to data with the same dimension as that of the first input data. The processors input second input data, which is a difference between the first input data and the first output data, to a second model, and obtain second output data. The second output data is formed by restoring data with the reduced dimension to data with the same dimension as that of the second input data. The processors obtain restored data that is a sum of the first output data and the second output data. The processors compare the first input data with the restored data and determine an abnormality in the first input data based on the comparison result.
