Abstract
An apparatus calculates a difference between a first vector extracted by a first unit and a second vector extracted by a second unit with a smaller amount of calculation than the first unit, generates a changed difference by changing a value of an element in the difference, and updates a parameter of the second unit based on the changed difference. An amount of change from a value of an element of the difference corresponding to a first element exceeding a threshold value in the first vector to a value of an element of the changed difference corresponding to the first element is larger than an amount of change from a value of an element of the difference corresponding to a second element not exceeding the threshold value in the first vector to a value of an element of the changed difference corresponding to the second element.
