  • Publication number: 20200250691
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to the present invention divides a period in which performance data at a business facility as a prediction target is present into a plurality of partial periods. The information processing apparatus performs prediction processing using each of a plurality of prediction models for a second partial period which is a partial period other than a first partial period including a start time of a predetermined period, and compares the result of the process with the performance data in a partial period as a target of the prediction processing. The information processing apparatus decides a prediction model to be used for sales prediction for a period subsequent to the predetermined period on the basis of the result of the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20180181875
    Abstract: In this invention, a property of a prediction target or analysis target can be predicted or analyzed with a high degree of precision during a transition from a stage in which there is extremely little or no known data about said prediction target or analysis target to a stage in which a sufficient amount of known data has been accumulated.

  • Publication number: 20180075360
    Abstract: An accuracy estimation unit 91 estimates accuracy of a predictive model using an accuracy estimating model that is learned using, as an explanatory variable, all or part of one or more contexts each indicating a feature value representing an operation status of the predictive model at a first point of interest that is a past point in time of interest a learning period of the predictive model, and a parameter used to learn the predictive model and, as a response variable, an accuracy index in a period after the first point of interest. The accuracy estimation unit 91 calculates the context at a second point of interest that is a point in time after the first point of interest, and applies the calculated context to the accuracy estimating model to estimate the accuracy from the second point of interest onward.

  • Publication number: 20180052804
    Abstract: Provided is a learning model generation system capable of preventing a decrease in prediction accuracy in a case where the trend of an actual value of a prediction target has changed. The learning model generation means 71 generates a learning model using, as learning data, time series data in which a value of each explanatory variable used in prediction of a prediction target is associated with an actual value of the prediction target. The prediction means 72 calculates a predicted value of the prediction target using the learning model once the value of each explanatory variable is given. The change point determination means 73 determines a change point which is a point in time when a trend of the actual value of the prediction target changed.
