Learning device, learning method, and storage medium

Abstract

Provided is a learning device that can generate a feature deriving device capable of deriving, for an identical object, feature amounts which respectively express a feature of the object in different forms and which are mutually related. This learning device comprises: an acquisition unit that acquires first data and second data, with different forms of the object recorded therein; an encoder that derives a first feature amount from the first data; a conversion unit that converts the first feature amount to a second feature amount; a decoder that generates third data from the second feature amount; and a parameter updating unit that updates, on the basis of a comparison between the second data and the third data, the value of a parameter used in the derivation of the first feature amount, and the value of a parameter used in the generation of the third data.
