Patent ID: 11989929

Abstract:
An object is to make it possible to train an image recognizer by efficiently using training data that does not include label information. A determination unit 180 causes repeated execution of the followings. A feature representation model for extracting feature vectors of pixels is trained such that an objective function is minimized, the objective function being expressed as a function that includes a value that is based on a difference between a distance between feature vectors of pixels labeled with a positive example label and a distance between a feature vector of a pixel labeled with the positive example label and a feature vector of an unlabeled pixel, and a value that is based on a difference between a distance between a feature vector of a pixel labeled with the positive example label and a feature vector of an unlabeled pixel and a distance between a feature vector of a pixel labeled with the positive example label and a feature vector of a pixel labeled with a negative example label, and based on a distribution of feature vectors corresponding to the positive example label, a predetermined number of labels are given based on the likelihood that each unlabeled pixel is a positive example.
