Abstract
A method causes one or more processors to execute a method in which a machine learning model of a vector neural network type is used. The model is learned to reproduce correspondence between first images and a pre-label corresponding to each of the first images, and includes one or more neuron layers. First intermediate data output by the one or more neurons when the first images are input to the learned model is stored in one or more memories in correlation with the neurons. The method includes inputting a second image of an object to the machine learning model and acquiring second intermediate data based on at least one of a second vector and a second activation included in the one or more neurons, calculating a similarity degree between the first and second intermediate data, generating an evidence image corresponding to the similarity degree, and displaying the generated evidence image.
