Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire an object image that includes an object, and a predicting unit configured to predict a class of the object by applying the object image acquired by the acquiring unit to a learning model. The learning model includes a main network () that extracts feature amounts regarding hierarchical classes of the object based on the object image, and a sub network () that outputs hierarchical classes of the object based on the feature amounts. The main network () includes extractors that extract the feature amounts. The sub network () includes classifiers that output classes of the object based on the feature amounts, and in the sub network, a higher-level classifier has a connection to one or more lower-level classifiers.
