  • Patent number: 11727203
    Abstract: A descriptor generation unit 81 uses a first template prepared in advance to generate a feature descriptor, which generates a feature that may affect a prediction target from a first table including a variable of the prediction target and a second table. A feature generation unit 82 generates the feature by applying the feature descriptor to the first and second tables. A feature explanation generation unit 83 generates a feature explanation about the feature descriptor or the feature on the basis of a second template. An accepting unit 84 accepts values to be assigned to the first and second templates. The descriptor generation unit 81 generates the feature descriptor by assigning the accepted values to the first template, and the feature explanation generation unit 83 generates the feature explanation by assigning the values assigned to the first template to the second template.

  • Patent number: 11514062
    Abstract: A table acquiring means 381 acquires a first table including prediction objects and first attributes, and a second table including second attributes. A receiving means 382 receives a similarity function and condition for similarity used to calculate the similarity between the first attribute and the second attribute. A feature generating means 383 generates feature candidates able to affect a prediction object using a combination condition for combining a record in the first table including the value of a first attribute satisfying the condition with a record in the second table including the value of a second attribute satisfying the similarity calculated with the value of the first attribute and the value of the second attribute using the similarity function, and using a reduction method for a plurality of records in the second table and a reduction condition represented by the column to be aggregated. A feature selecting means 384 selects an optimum feature for the prediction from the feature candidates.

  • Patent number: 10228301
    Abstract: This invention provides a water-leakage state estimation system configured to estimate a state of a water leakage in a specific area of a water distribution network. A learning unit is configured to: receive labeled data, which is labeled so as to separate past flow rate data into abnormal values and normal values, and past environment state condition data; build a prediction model for predicting the normal values in the labeled data through learning; and determine a score parameter defining a length of a period involving data to be verified through learning as well. A water-leakage estimation unit is configured to: compare predicted flow rate data obtained by supplying current environment condition data into the prediction model and current flow rate data to produce error values; and calculate an average value of the error values in the period of a window width defined by the score parameter to estimate a water-leakage score representing a state of the water-leakage in the specific area.

  • Patent number: 9824142
    Abstract: The information processing device 1 processes document collections having tags permitting semantic class identification appended to each document and comprises a search unit 2, which creates multiple semantic class units containing one, two, or more semantic classes based on a taxonomy that identifies relationships between semantic classes, and a frequency calculation unit 3 which, for each of the semantic class units, identifies documents that match that semantic class unit in the document collections and, for these matching documents, calculates a first frequency that represents the frequency of occurrence in a designated document collection and a second frequency that represents the frequency of occurrence in non-designated document collections. Once the calculations have been performed, the search unit 2 identifies any of the semantic class units based on the first frequency and the second frequency of the matching documents.

  • Patent number: 9600565
    Abstract: In an inverted list of each node in a taxonomy, among each node, an inverted list of the highest node is a list of integer values indicating an identifier of search subject data, and an inverted list of a node other than the highest node, in place of the identifier, is a list of integer values indicating a position in an inverted list corresponding to a node that is higher by one than the node. Furthermore, a list of integer values in an inverted list of each node is divided into two or more blocks, and a differential value between an integer value and an integer value directly before the integer value in the block is converted into a bit string of a variable length integer code.
