Abstract
A parameter determination apparatus () includes: a first learning device () learning a weight between a [j−1]-th layer (j is an integer that satisfies a condition that '2≤j≤the number of the layer') and a [j]-th layer to which an output of the [j−1]-th layer is inputted among a plurality of layers of a neural network; a selecting device () selecting at least one valid path for each node included in the [j]-th layer from a plurality of connection paths that connect nodes in the [j−1]-th layer and nodes in the [j]-th layer, respectively, on the basis of the weight learned by the first learning device; and a second learning device () learning at least one of the weight and a bias as the parameters relating to a network structure between the [j−1]-th layer and the [j]-th layer on the basis of the sample signal, the label signal and the valid path.
