Abstract
A technique for stable and fast computation of a variance representing a confidence interval for an estimation result in an estimation apparatus using a neural network including an integrated layer that combines a dropout layer for dropping out part of input data and an FC layer for computing a weight is provided. When input data having a multivariate distribution is supplied to the integrated layer, a data analysis unitdetermines, based on a numerical distribution of terms formed by respective products of each vector element of the input data and the weight, a data type of each vector element of output data from the integrated layer. An estimated confidence interval computation unitapplies an approximate computation method associated with the data type, to analytically compute a variance of each vector element of the output data from the integrated layer based on the input data to the integrated layer.
