Publication number: 20200134453Abstract: A device for shortening time for learning curve prediction includes a sampler, a learning curve predictor, a learning executor, and a learning curve calculator. The sampler samples a weight parameter of a parameter model which outputs a parameter of a learning curve model of a neural network (NNW) on the basis of a set value of a hyperparameter of the NNW. The learning curve predictor calculates a prediction learning curve of the NNW on the basis of the sampled weight parameter and an actual learning curve of the NNW. The learning executor advances learning in the NNW. The learning curve calculator calculates an actual learning curve resulting from the advance of the learning in the NNW. The learning curve predictor updates the prediction learning curve of the NNW on the basis of the weight parameter sampled before the learning advances and the actual learning curve calculated after the learning advances.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Applicant: Preferred Networks, Inc.Inventors: Yutaka KITAMURA, Shin-ichi MAEDA
