Abstract
A computer for calculating the similarity between first and second patterns, each represented by a sequence of feature vectors, comprises a calculating circuit for calculating a weighting factor from feature vectors in the first pattern, a weighting circuit for applying the weighting factor to the feature vectors of the second pattern to calculate an estimated vector for the second pattern, and a similarity calculating circuit for calculating and determining the similarity between the first and the second patterns on the basis of the feature vector of the first pattern and of the estimated vector of the second pattern.
