  • Publication number: 20260154576
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment executes refining processing for each of one or more task vectors. The refining processing is executed by correcting, to a default value, a value of a parameter whose degree of importance is smaller than degrees of importance of other parameters among parameters included in the task vector. The apparatus adjusts, by using training data for each of the one or more task vectors, a coefficient for correcting a corresponding one of the task vectors to an optimal task vector optimized for a target task. The apparatus generates, for each of the one or more task vectors, one or more optimal task vectors by multiplying the coefficient with a corresponding one of the task vectors. The apparatus generates a specialized model optimized for the target task by using a foundation model and the one or more optimal task vectors.

  • Patent number: 12535806
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a processing circuit classifies a time-series data corresponding to process amounts generated in a target facility into groups. For each of groups, the processing circuit applies time-series data included in the group to a first auto-encoder, which differs depending upon each group, and outputs time-series data. The processing circuit applies input difference data, which are based on output time-series data on the process amounts and the input time-series data, to a single second auto-encoder, and outputs difference data. The processing circuit determines an abnormality of the target facility, based on the comparison between addition data which are based on the output difference data and the output time-series data, and the input time-series data.
