Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a first learning unit adapted to learn a first SOM (self-organization map), based on a first parameter extracted from an observed value, a winner node determination unit adapted to determine a winner node on the first SOM, a searching unit adapted to search for a generation node on a second SOM having highest connection strength with the winner node, a parameter generation unit adapted to generate a second parameter from the generation node, a modification unit adapted to modify the second parameter generated from the generation node, a first connection weight modification unit adapted to modify the connection weight when end condition is satisfied, a second connection weight modification unit adapted to modify the connection weight depending on evaluation made by a user, and a second learning unit adapted to learn the second SOM based on the second parameter obtained when the end condition is satisfied.
