Abstract
An inference processing system performs computation of an inference model by a server and an edge device. Setting in the server, a server-side inference model. In the edge device, an edge-side inference model including an input layer and first to third intermediate layers of the inference model is set, and layer position information indicating a position of a last layer to process the input image in the edge-side inference model is generated. When layer data that is a computation result at the edge device obtained by performing processing from the input layer to a layer indicated by the layer position information and the layer position information is transmitted from the edge device to the server, the layer data is input to a layer subsequent to a layer indicated by the layer position information in the server-side inference model, and performs processing up to the output layer.
