Abstract
A technique capable of providing a new function usable as an activation function is provided. An inference apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives input of target data; and an inference unit that executes a predetermined inference process with respect to the target data using a neural network model. The neural network model includes a plurality of processing layers, and, as the processing layers, one or more activation function layers that convert an input value by a predetermined activation function. The activation function of at least one of the activation function layers is configured as a function of a waveform the output value of which changes, in a first range, to approach a maximum value as an input value increases and, in a second range, away from a minimum value as the input value increases, such that the output values in the first and second ranges are not the same.
